isnt the game supposed to be pretty good?

wonder why MS decided to make it xbox only? they must have known it wasnt going to sell at all. maybe they figured they could get a very targeted group of people interested in the xbox and lack of sales would outweigh that.

ms didnt publish or develop this game.
i thought it was up to MS to make it "xbox only"? why would the publisher only make it for xbox without some sort of money from microsoft? especially with halo2 just releasing, you have to know it'll sell better on ps2.
 
It's crazy. We've had about 3-4 people ask for this game when I was in our store.

The pro-Xbox manager said this to one customer asking for it: They make a paintball video game? I thought video games had shooting games because you weren't actually hurting real people. That eliminates the need for a paintball game right there.

Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball fan: Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Paintball's a lot of fun and there's a lot of strategy to it. It's a lot more fun than most games out there.

Manager: *Smiling* You're right, I'm sorry. I should play it first, at least.
 
I searched for Greg Hasting on google's search engine and nothing showed up...


Paintball can be fun, I liked the paintball mod for the original Quake...

A big feature of this game is the online play. If they make this game for XBox Live, the Live service provides all the servers and infrastructure. That's why it's mainly just Sony/EA/Ubisoft/etc games that are online on the PS2.. meanwhile, you've got games like this, Guilty Gear and Kingdom Under Fire online on the XBox. And pretty much any game that's only being made for one system will get an "EXCLUSIVE ON THIS SYSTEM!" stamp on the cover. There's many reasons for making a game on just one system, not just first party incentives.
 
For some fucking reason some junior EB clerk decided to hard sell this game to me today while I was going in my desperate search for a DS. I'm still completely baffled as to why he thought I was a hardcore Paintball fan. Oh well, according to him the game is a realistic recreation of the sport and tons of fun. I wouldn't know, I wasn't fully paying attention to him.
 
you have no idea how often people asked for this thing.

My surprise was rivaled only by my reaction to the number of people who would call everyday to ask if the day of reckoning guide was in yet.

Were you wearing a plastic shielded mask?

We only had 4 copies of this game...but every one of them sold, haha.
 
A heads up, Best Buy will have the game for $19.99 starting tomorrow. That's $14.99 after gamer's gift card
