Fallout 3 is also on the PS3. :D

Ooo-err!

I'd say 360 easily because most of the PS3's best games you can get on the 360 anyway. At the end of the day if you ain't buying it what's to lose?

Everyone's like GEARS and HALO. I say KILLZONE 2 and METAL GEAR SOLID 4.

Well that is true...

This is just...

Screw it, I'm getting the 360.

DO NOT BE SUCKED IN BY MICROSOFT

Games like Halo and Gears bore me to tears (nice rhyme), the world does not need endless macho marines shooting aliens.

I can't stand stealth games either though so MGS would be out as well.

I actually like those games. =P

And I already have a Zune. Might as well continue with Microsoft. xD

Eh Killzone 2 was a big letdown for me, it looked really promising too. I love the story and it looks amazing in terms of graphics. The controls were okay (kind of a rip off of cod4 though) but you're character seemed to move extremely slowly. Also the aiming was terrible and I hated the cover system. :/

Metal Gear Solid 4 was great though, one of my favourites. Even though there was ridiculously long cutscenes the spectacular gameplay and interesting story more than made up for it. Yeah, it's too bad MGS is going to the 360. Damn Konami.

This is the question I pose to myself whenever I have to make a difficult decision: "Will I ejaculate?"

Both consoles are so evenly matched that it really comes down to personal preference. If you're willing to sacrifice very miniscule graphical difference and a few exclusive titles for a cheaper console then I'd say go for the 360. The only risk that you take is they are far more likely to break down. If you do go down the 360 path then all I can say is BUY NEW.

XBox is far superior to all its poor excuses for rivals.

Blah.

I can at least understand why people prefer the 360, it has a larger library of solid games. But I'm not the kinda person who buys like 10 games a month, so for me, it's quality over quantity, that's one reason I prefer the Wii, it's library of quality games is modest, but they're the kinda games I actually care to play. I really don't give a damn for all the shooters and RPG's that dominate the 360 like mad.

The PS3 however, what a worthless piece of sh*t, better than The Wii? C'mon.

I can't believe it has the kinda following it has when just about every game people care about is also on the 360, it's a total embarassment to the video game industry.

It doesn't even have a monopoly on GTA and Final Fantasy anymore, and those have been Sony's trump cards for years. :laughing:

It's easily better than the Wii and has far more quality games.

Really, what makes the Xbox so special over the PS3?

I find it kind of ironic that you're talking about quality over quantity for the Wii considering the only Wii games even worth buying are the continuation of their decrepit franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. Sure there are the occasional odd gems like No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki but I mean... c'mon Nintendo create a new franchise or at least reboot one.

I'm in the same boat, researching for the best buy. I don't know yet which one I'll get, but I'm leaning 360. It's actually been years since I had a console--I got rid of a Playstation when I bought an old house that needs all my attention--but I'm almost done and GAME ON! During winter, anyway, when ain't sh*t else to do.

That are also on the 360 along with a lot of exclusive titles, rendering the PS3 completely useless save just a few games.

You can't knock the Wii over quantity and then praise PS3.

The Wii at least has exclusives.

.

I find it funny that you'd call the Mario series decrepit when Galaxy was probably the most ambitious and successful Mario game since SMB3.

So that's decrepit, as opposed to just playing the same damn shooters over and over?

I think the Wii has a strong if modest library of good games. Brawl, Galaxy, TP, MP3, Super Paper Mario, Okami, Mario Kart Wii, etc.

The thing is, from the start the Wii was the most affordable, theorefore appealing to lower income families like mine, people who can't blow their money on 30 goddamn games a week, like all the spoiled rich douchebags that make up a good bulk of the gaming community.

But the point I'm making is that library of games is just a continuation from previous consoles (except for Okami which was totally ****ing awesome). I mean where is Mario going to go after Galaxy? Once you've gone into space everything else just seems like a step back, and it even seems like Nintendo has acknowledged this by just doing an expansion of what they've already done. You make a good point about shooters, believe me man I'm about ready to just give up on video games because every one just seems to be disappointment and disappointment, each just a tired rip off of something else (see [Prototype] and inFAMOUS). Other than the endless stream of 3rd party casual games released for the Wii, I think it's a pretty decent console itself. My only real complaint with Nintendo is their treading on old ground, something I eventually came to realize after I bought my Gamecube back in 2003 when the only games I really found myself playing were the usual suspects of Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, Metroid Prime, and Zelda.

Nintendo have been in the industry much much longer, so of course they have some ancient franchises.

But again, I find that to be a double standard. What has PS3 been riding the coat tails on? Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy. Just like, I dunno, a decade and a half ago?

Nintendo keeps their old franchises going, that doesn't mean they're not trying new ideas, turning Metroid into a FPS was a pretty wise move and Galaxy was a great success and with SMG2 it pretty much launched a franchise of it's own.

Nintendo do have newer franchises. Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Warioware, Advance Wars, Golden Sun, etc.

Though I admit I'd like to actually see Nintendo expand on the newer franchises a little. Where's Pikmin 3?

Give us a new Star Fox already, it would be a horrible mistake if they pass that up, especially with the great potential the wiimote would have for that kinda game. They should dust off some of the older Nintendo franchises. Like Kid Icarus and Earthbound. But hey, there's a new Punch Out now, so who knows?

I'm still pulling for the Wii though. I know they're working on a Kirby platformer which I'm excited about, in adidition to Super Mario Galaxy 2, a Wii exclusive sequel to New Super Mario Bros, a third person Metroid and a sequel to Sin & Punishment that will actually be available in the states.

I don't know about you, but things seem pretty cool with me.

The new Punch Out looks pretty sweet.

Don't for a second think that my frustration is limited solely to the Wii and Nintendo boo boo. I have enough hatred inside of me and the 360 gets just as much. I mean it wasn't the Wii that broke down the very day I started my 3 month "vacation" from work due to a broken foot. I have just as many complaints about the games out on the 360, PC, and PS3. I admire Nintendo for staying in the console race for as long as they have. I can also admire (to a degree) the continuation of their franchises to entice new fans of the series. I also agree with you that turning Metroid into an FPS was an incredibly wise decision. However like I said, for the Wii the lines are really being drawn in the sand for games. The stuff that's actually worth buying is almost always going to be 1st party games that are the continuation of a franchise, I mean how many times can you save the Princess or defeat Bowser before it gets monotonous? I think that games like Assassin's Creed, [Prototype], and inFAMOUS have their place (which is keeping us entertained until the next Big Game comes out), but you can't get them on the Wii. All you get are third party casual games, or Nintendo's main franchises. I just think the Wii is a little limited to what you can get. Anyways, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree, we've both made good points and I think we should just leave it at that. You love your Wii and I'm slowly beginning to feel myself getting more and more convinced that gaming just isn't for me anymore.

Yeah, one thing you gotta give the Wii credit for is that it's f*cking sturdy.

Cats have made me drop the thing countless times, still works.

As opposed to 360, which likes to catch on fire just because you looked at it in a certain way.

However I've already acknowledged that 360 has a lot of great games.

PS3 might have, I dunno, 1 or 2, LittleBigPlanet looks awesome, but doesn't everybody hate that game now because of it's lack of guns and trash talking guys on steroids?

So whatever. Gamers, f*ck em.

You aren't even helping anymore. I don't want the Wii.

That's what she said. :(

Is it because she saw it?

=3

You JUST went there.


Wii (or Nintendo in general) markets to a younger more family oreinted audience. While XBow and PS are left to battle it out for the hardcore adult gamers. The whole thing about exclusive title this and compatability that is stupid, just but the 360 and be done with it. I've been with XBox from the start, I've owned one Xbox and one 360 and neither have ever let me down. The ABSOLUTE only thing PS3 has on Xbox is Blu-ray cabability. That's it. Xbox owns everything else, and came out way sooner. Microsoft is ahead of the curve folks, do the math.

Now to break it down by demograhic:

Kids (age 5-13, or Adults that act like kids): Nintendo Wii

Adult Gamers (13-30): XBox 360

People Who like to Use stupid Uncomfortable and non-ergonomic controllers and try to pretend their online play even comes close to rivaling Xbow Live:Playstation 3



Which do you fall under?

Hahaha. I know, right?

And that's too biased, I can't pick one! =P

I asked my friend cause he's a gamer and he says he likes X-Box better cause his hands are too big for the PS controller.

That didn't help.

=P

Why are you denying the PS3's exclusives?

I will make you a list based on the general consensus, of the best exclusives.

LittleBigPlanet
Metal Gear Solid 4
Killzone 2
MLB '09 The Show
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Valkyria Chronicles
Flower
Resistance: Fall Of Man
Resistance 2
Motorstorm
Motorstorm 2: Pacific Rift
Warhawk
Gran Turismo 5
inFAMOUS

What does the Xbox have?

Halo 3
Gears Of War
Gears Of War 2
Braid
Mass Effect
Fable II
Left 4 Dead
Forza Motorsport 2
Project Gotham Racing 3
Dead Rising
Viva Pinata
Crackdown
Dead Or Alive 4
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

The Xbox 360 has also been on the market longer. Even if the PS3 WAS lacking in the games department, you couldn't blame it for not having as many quality exclusives.

Edit: and I'm not trying to dis the Wii here either. It's definitely a legitimate gaming console with some GREAT exclusives.

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros Brawl
The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3
Super Paper Mario
No More Heroes
Madworld
World Of Goo
Boom Blox
Boom Blox Bash Party
Punch Out!!
Warioware: Smooth Moves
Mario Kart Wii
de Blob
LostWinds

I'm pretty sure The Conduit is a damn good game too, even if it doesn't set the FPS genre on fire. I'm gonna pick it up soon.

Anybody who says the ps3 OR the wii are lacking good exclusives isn't looking very hard.


The ps3 and 360 are generally the same console, if your looking for that kind-off experience you can't go wrong with either one.

Also alot of old people enjoy the wii, alot of old folks homes have them.

I have to admit Uncharted 2 looks like it's going to be blinding, +1 for PS3.

Yeah, that game looks ridiculously fun.


I'd also like to add that Super Mario Galaxy is the best game of this generation.

inb4 sweet_nothing says "no, just no"

you left out a huge omission God of War III well I guess maybe your list is what they currently have but w/e

Yeah. If I was gonna make a list of upcoming I would have included God Of War III, MAG, Uncharted 2, and Modnation Racers.

Although I havent played the Xbox since January, I do agree. My xbox is currently got the 'red rings of death' or whatever, which stragely occured after I turned it on for the first time in 5 months. Playstation was once great but now sucks. Best game for Playstation? Metal Gear Solid!(& Im talking about the first one lol)

Thank you, at least someone is being fair.

I know I can't, too much fanboy rage. :mad:

That's one of my problems with them.

Consoles don't have the kinda distinct personalities they used to have, Wii has one and that's why people hate it.

Because it doesn't conform to the latest tech nerd trends. It's fun, simple and all it does is f*cking play video games. You know, like a video game console.

Get a fast PC and some source games.

that should satisfy you, for a while

Yeah. I think this generation you should own a Wii AND one of the others in order to experiance all of what the current market has to offer.

People need to stop looking at the Wii as an "underpowered child's toy" but rather a different kind of console that plays different kinds of games.

Also, last gen graphics doesn't equal bad graphics, I'm sick and tired of hearing that one.

I still find a lot of the old SNES and Genesis games to be a lot more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the turd brown color schemes of games that use Unreal Engine graphics.

Umm when was that? Wii doesnt have much of have personality other than it's accessible to any one with 2 arms. I don't know about you but I play games to unwind not to wave my arms about like I'm being attacked by bees. If video game consoles just played video games they'd be terrible boring (kinda like the Wii and Nintendo in general), people enjoy variety. I like my console being able to do other things not only is it a good selling point but it help me save money on other things like not having to buy a blue ray player because hey my PS3 has one alright! Your cell phone doesn't just make phone calls does it? No it can take pictures play music and email, why? because I don't want to have to carry around an ipod, cell phone, and camera, in my pocket so we'll just combine them all which is what consoles do nowadays combine multimedia. Nintendo wouldn't know anything about that though as they've been pimping out the same games for decades and have sonic the hedgehog to the their line up of call girls for some reason. Why the **** does that character even still exist anyway? Apparently one great game gives sega the right to make an army of awful sequels and knockoffs.

Way to completely ignore my epic post.

xD


And does anyone have anything legitimate to say? ^_^ Was it a bad idea for boo boo to enter the room?
