Anyone on MAG?

[sittinsideways76]

Picked it up a few days ago and I enjoy it.. (SVER)ADD me on PSN if you play it. PAYNE_4_ALL

I'm considering picking it up, but the lack of a way to try it before I dump $100 (need a headset) into it is keeping me from taking the plunge.

MoD, you didn't dl the beta when it was out?

[sittinsideways76]

Yeah what he said.. you should have tried the beta it was out for a long time. And the headset is good to have anyway for future games. I bough the game because I support Zipper Int. since they made Socom 2, hopefully they will make a comeback with Socom 4 once MAG is out of the picture.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Yeah, they messed up big time on the last Socom game. I had high hopes for it, but the lag and other issues were just too much.

[sittinsideways76]

Yes the last Socom was HORRIBLE, but by THEY I hope you mean Slant Six and not Zipper. Slant Six developed the current Socom and they know they messed up big time. Zipper knows what they are doing though.

So do you guys think that MAG is a system seller?

[ProudNissanFreak]

Oh yeah, it was Slant Six.

@ packer

Yes, I do believe MAG is a system seller, but not as much as Uncharted 2 was. Nor will it be the system seller GoW 3 and GT5 will be.

Nope. I've been way too busy with real life s*** to mess with any betas. I actually got into the Star Trek Online beta but only had a chance to play it for a few hours.

[sittinsideways76]

GT5 will definitely be a console seller. I'm not sure about uncharted since there were no previous version for the PS@.. Console sellers usually bring fans from previous systems. Socom 4 will definitely be a Console seller, Socom 2 had the largest online fan base at the time even considering online console gaming wasn't as popular.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Oh, Uncharted 2 sold a ton of PS3s over the holiday. Sony bundled U2 and PS3 Slim, and they sold 3.8 mil PS3s over 5 weeks. If that's not a console seller, then idk wtf it is.

[MinisterofDOOM]

I'm not sure about uncharted since there were no previous version for the PS@..

Uncharted 2 definitely moved PS3s.

You don't need to be a sequel to sell consoles. Look at Halo and the original Xbox.
