There may be 50 million PS2's out there, because Sony counts the ones SHIPPED. They dont subtract the half dozen I see every week at the game store I work at that broke and are sent back to sony, then shipped back to the customer, which Sony counts again as "shipped".
50 million is an inflated number, and always will be.
Halo does rock though. I played it on the PC on easy and was reacting to things jumping at me on the screen. Something I havent done since Quake. Its a challenging game.
I am sure once Halo2 is out we will see a Myth type game for the Xbox. Maybe even another Myth.
I am very familar with Kosters work. The man is a genius, and, this bonehead fails to realize it.
Someone writing a 3 page rant about a game doesnt deserve this much attention. His critique is way off and I take it with a grain of salt.
What he may fail to realize is Lucas is still holding the reins to the game and Koster and company cant just put any old content they want in. They have to stay consistent with the Star wars universe to a degree that pleases Lucasarts. Also, a lot of the stuff also may be hindered by technological barriers. The first week was hell because of all the server optimising that had to be done.
I see SWG as a great open ended game that has many challenges. Im sorry most people dont like to pay to be challenged. Maybe these games arent for them, any $50 single player game will be loaded with content, and most have the replay value of pong, Khaldun is welcome to it.
I still havent done everything there is to do in SWG and have been a avid, and casual player for 3 months now.
The essay is bumpkis.
