Dave Perry Stunned By MS Cancellation Of Marvel Online MMO >
2008/02/14 8:33:04: Posted by DM
In case you missed it this week, the much-anticipated Marvel Heroes Online MMO was cancelled officially by Microsoft. According to Shane Kim, there is "one" game out there that is dominating (we all know which one), and to enter the market at this time would not be prudent. This is what we have been saying for a while now here at GR. There are not enough MMO players to support all the MMO games out there. Now, the always-outspoken Dave Perry from Shiny, has come out to say he is "stunned" that MS cancelled the Marvel MMO. Someone needs to tell Perry that we would not count the game down and out just yet. We think this is more of a hiatus until WoW starts to lose its grip.

"Marvel, as a property, is more mass-market than World of Warcraft."

This is really a "delay," of about five years, probably until the next Xbox 360 is released. By then, the next Xbox system might be launched, and maybe some of the Warcraft gamers will want to move on to something else...especially if it has infinitely better graphics.

For now, I have to say that the BEST Marvel game EVER released is Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the Xbox 360.

Playing that game with 4 players at the same time is the MEANING of "FUN."

And I have to say that I love the 8 extra characters that are only in the Xbox 360 version--especially The Hulk, Sabretooth, and Dr. Doom.

If you people out there can still find the Xbox 360 with Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance BOTH packed in with the system, then I recommend getting the system, because that is the best package of games I have ever seen...the ultimate Marvel game that is super fun, plus the game that was voted as Best Racing Game of the Year by virtually every website and magazine.

blacktiger: You know how "stupid" you sound for personally attacking Krogan every time he posts??? If you dont like what he posts just ignore him. Add something positive to this site instead of acting like the very thing you call other people.

Response to PimpDaddy:

I thank you for sticking up for me. It is very professional and very mature of you to stick up for a fellow gamer.

But, PimpDaddy, maybe we shouldn't be so hard on blacktiger. After all, he is helping us to learn about previously unknown concepts.

For example, blacktiger has now proven to us that reincarnation is a fact based reality. Nobody could get as dumb as he is in one lifetime.

Krogan Battle Master Urdnot Wrex : That didnt help. I stick up for you because I dont like how the other people on this site gang up on you and use you as thier punching bag. I tend to ignore people on this website if I think what they say is BS. They should do the same. Dont fan the flames by personally insulting him too. Besides thats not really your style...

actually pimp daddy, i just can't stand a dumb logic, and yet u want me to ignore, id rather post and say the thigns i wana say on a false post, with a such a dumb logic, thats why i never respect him cause gamers reports is all about gamers not xbox fanish !

you will notice everyone hates him...

why do u think he gives you ten page of post, so that ppl can think he's smart and yet it doesn't work,

you knwo what i dont care, nevermind what i said cause i will continue what i always do...

but then again , in the end, you are right, it's just i hate his post, 99 percent is all false and lie, thats worse than me comming once in a while and say thank you stupid ! so far i only said that once ! That he is stupid for no reason :)

blacktiger: Hey it was just food for thought. We all know I am the first one to fight fire with fire. I know alot of people dont like him, but all the same I cant stand bullying... I talk alot of sh!t on here so maybe I shouldn't be giving advice. Do what ya gotta do. I will go back to minding my own business...

Response to PimpDaddy

&

(blacktiger, please read):

You are correct that calling names isn't my style. The joke I made about reincarnation/stupidity for blacktiger was something that I happened to hear at the exact same time I was at this website, so I thought I would modify it a little bit to apply to blacktiger.

I thought about writing, "lol," after my last sentence, but I won't. Instead, I will issue an official apology to blacktiger.

Despite the fact that blacktiger always aggressively targets me for namecalling, I will still proactively offer him an apology, and I would like to suggest that a truce be called with "everyone" that hates me.



*** Now, I am extending my hand to you, for a handshake, blacktiger. Where I come from, a handshake is an honorable pledge that symbolizes an agreement is being made.

Blacktiger, do you have the maturity and honor to stop calling names? I do; that's why I'm extending my hand. You have seen guys like dudeman, me, incoming00, CianMCL, and others stop fighting with each other (okay, each stop fighting with me ;). Nevertheless, the fighting stopped when we decided to act our age and stop arguing with each other, and instead discuss things in a mature way.



In all honesty, PimpDaddy is 100% correct. I really don't remember calling anyone "stupid," in that sort of way before. In the past, I would literally explain the difference between "ignorance" and "stupidity," based on dictionary definitions. I was not trying to be mean or rude; I was simply trying to improve communication. But, I admit that this time I was trying to be rude to blacktiger, as a response to his aggressive statement about me, and I apologize for that. After all, two wrongs don't make a right.



So, let's be friends, blacktiger. What do you say? Let's have nice debates with a sense of humor and enjoyment instead of frustration and rudeness. Our friend, zwandaba is 100% correct; we should be "playing nice."



Now, as a Krogan Battle Master, I will offer you a choice, blacktiger. Take your pick:

(1) Anyone who has played Mass Effect and used Urdnot Wrex, and talked to him for long enough, knows that the Krogan race and culture is based on a warrior type of honor similar to the Klingons in Star Trek. The Krogans strength in war is that they are powerful. And the thing that made them virtually invincible in the past was that they could reproduce so quickly, possibly because they have four testicles.



blacktiger, your first choice of being my friend is to accept one of my testicles...I will cut one of the four off, and send it to you! ;)

or

(2) We can have an honorable hand shake, and agree to be friends online. You can tell people that you are the owner of the Wrex family suit of armor--something that Urdnot places a lot of value on in Mass Effect.

* Let me know what your thoughts are blacktiger. I will respect your thoughts either way, even if you don't agree to shake hands. But, I'm not calling names anymore...and I want to be your friend. Even if we have debates in the future (as I'm sure we will), at least they will be friendly and mature.

Take care, buddy.

blacktiger, here is the hand, extended to you:

urdnot, you always know that i dont fight you... i fight what you say. mostly, if i think its BS, and in some cases it is, i step in and throw my 2 cents. but hey, sometimes my 2 cents are wrong as well.... i guess it depends on how we interprit it ourselves. besides, if i really wanted to fight with ya, i'd jump on VF5 :P (free this weekend for a few rounds?)

La la la it's just video games.
Written by Krogan Battle Master Urdnot Wrex on 2008/02/16

Response to incoming00:

If I see ya online on Xbox Live, then you bet we can play some Virtua Fighter 5 Online. ;)



*

Response to Kungfurabbit:

Maybe Virtua Fighter 5 is just a videogame in your rabbit kung-fu culture; however, it is a well respected strategy combat game in Krogan culture...and the same can be said to a lesser extent in the human culture that incoming00 represents. ;)

lol...I'm just goofing we you guys. I hope you all have a nice weekend.
