It begins.
You must be logged in to post a comment.
“it begins” over and over and over again. Shit I thought it began 3 years ago (technically 4).
On top of that Kojima confirmed another MGS game, BUT didn’t confirm any exclusivity.
It began over 4 years ago with 2 hdmi, 3 ethernet, and a bunch of other useless features. It continued with blu-ray, wireless, cell and another heap of useless features, I dragged on with lair, haze and another b*ttload of useless games and will end early 2010 without any official support. The last thing might actually be something good as sony support is sucky at best.
Maybe they will make an easier control scheme
wow. 360 fails again they just need to discontinue them
@Trivium30000000etc
So because the PS3 gets an exclusive sequel to a game which was also exclusive the 360 should give up. That is despite the facts that the sales of the 360 are equal to greater than the PS3? What kind of fucked up moon un-logic are you using?
@marnick
So really dude, you don’t own a PS3, by the sounds of it not going to buy one, and you don’t really care for any of the games, so why even talk about it? I could understand if you owned one and where upset with your purchase, but since you don’t got one, why the fuck do you carry on about it so much?
I like my PS3 just as much as my 360 and Wii, and I could go on about the problems with all of them, but I won’t, because its easier to focus on the negatives of something rather than the positives.
@InfaredChimera
Does one really have to explain to you over and over and over why one would HATE(not dislike) the PS3? Do we have to explain again and again how Sony gave the middle finger to everyone who supported them for two prior consoles?
Now think about this. Harley Davidson has a rather loyal customer base right? Now lets say that Harley Davidson out of the blue stopped making bikes and started making pretty pink dresses. Do you think that MAYBE some of their customers might potentially maybe be the slightest bit upset? At all?
the PS3 aint even that bad tbh, sure its not as good as the 360 for gaming but its not crap either. I bought one cheap the other week and up until then i wasnt intrested at all in one, but there are some good features and games for it, LBP is good, i like the free themes u can install on the PS3 and the bluray player is pretty decent if u got a HDTV.
The PS3 and 360 both got thier ups and downs compared to each other and thats the way it is. The console of chioce for me is still the 360, but the PS3 is still worht owning if u get one cheap. Just wish it was hacked or had homebrew on it.
@erik
If you hate it so much then WHY THE FUCK DID YOU BUY IT?! That is the most dumbest thing you could do, hell I don’t like mustard, so know what I don’t do? I buy mustard then proceed to eat it. For fucks sake you may have common sense, but your dumber than a rock. And remember noone put a gun to your head and told you, “to buy a ps3″ you made that decision for yourself. And if you HATE a piece of plastic with some circuit boards and a disc drive in it, then you have a deeper problems mentally than I thought (and I always gave you benefit of the doubt, untill you make stupid ass analogies that are not even needed but make you seem more of a child.)
Also, no shit a Harley customer would be upset (for fucks sake I would be). your talking a motorcycle company that primary builds motorcycles for well over a 100 years. As for sony, they’ve been around for a bit, but they branched out to other mediums (movies, music, media storage, computers….) which is expected of a company such as them.
“And if you HATE a piece of plastic with some circuit boards and a disc drive in it, then you have a deeper problems mentally than I thought (and I always gave you benefit of the doubt, untill you make stupid ass analogies that are not even needed but make you seem more of a child.)”
Apparently still you have no concept of betrayal of the company to it’s customers. Doesn’t surprise me really that you can’t grasp this very very simple concept. But really I know you won’t grasp this either but, oh well. But the reason I despise the PS3 isn’t because I’m a Microsoft fanboy (oh god no), but rather the reason I hate the PS3 is because I’m a Sony fanboy. Now I know that will be hard/impossible for you to grasp so you should go sit down and think it over.
It’s just like the people who hate Metallica the most are the people who were their biggest fans before they, in the opinion of the fans, became sellouts.
@erik – Wow. Very disturbing. Killzone 2 kicks ass, and Raiden is still the shit.
For the record, I don’t hate the ps3, it’s just that it doesn’t have the hardware to justify the price. Soon the ps3 will be 3 years old in europe and what have we got? A 400€ machine that was inferior to the 200€ xbox360 from the start.
If only the ps3 had good games to justify the pricetag, but it doesn’t. It has maybe 3 or 4 mediocre games. People whine and bitch about the lack of good wii games but at least the wii has a handful of truely gen-defining games. The ps3 has kz2 (’nuff said)
@erik
Appearantly you have a emotional connection to a company that only cares about money (ie all companies). Sure they have fucked up with the PS3 since launch, but to feel betrayal from a company that you have no emotional investment only money wise, well, kinda stupid.
But the question still stands if you hate the ps3 so much why in the hell did you buy it?!?!?
Again, I knew you wouldn’t be able to fathom a company betraying their customer after so many years of loyalty.
As for why I bought it, I was curious if playing it would have the brain washing effect that SDF seems to claim it has. They seem to think that mere contact with PS3 games will cause people to “turn in their xcoats”. And I would think that all of this is bullshit but, once you got a PS3 you became a drooling PS3 fanboy. So I thought maybe there was something to it. I’m glad to say that at least in my case ther is not.
erik, I’m in a bad mood, so don’t take this the wrong way, but:
Go FUCK yourself!!! I’m sick of people like you who help create Virginia Tech Massacres.
erik, I’m sorry, I’m in a bad mood right now. I apologize. It just hasn’t been a good week for me.
Lol, this is the saddest news entry yet. A picture Two words. I guess they don’t have time to post their usual brand of bullshit, since their exploring each others butt holes.
WTH is an xcoat anyways?
@marnick
An xcoat is the crumpled up remains of many 360s that have succumbed to the RROD and the E74 error, in coat form.
Or that’s what Hans tells me, anyways.
@erik
Sorry that you think that way, but the truth is I haven’t changed the way I think of videogames at all. Sony is fucking up, plain and simple. They need a price drop on their console and not some bundle (which they said they wouldn’t do, but they have), there online infrastructure still needs to be worked on big time (no cross game invites or chat?!?), Home is a good idea but a pile of shit at the moment, and demoes for downloadable games would be a big benefit.
But as far as “betraying” goes, I wouldn’t go that far, more of a let down when it comes to decision making. Persoanlly Ken Kutaragi should be ashamed of the people that have been saying dumbshit since just before the console was released like, “go get a second job to get one” or “if you can find a PS3 on the shelves, we will give you a $1000 (something like that)”. Too me thats not betrayal, thats just being stupid, and look at how Nintendo has been acting (raising the price of the Wii in the UK!) and tell me, is that not the same way sony acted all these years? And now look at them, third place.
BTW When I was playing KZ2 online, I started laughing at the SDF Clan game (or something like that) that appeared on the games being played. I tried to join, just for shits and giggles but it was not accessible to me since I’m not in a clan. Oh the humor that could have been had making fun of those fuckers.

Care to explain?
@Zoar
What the fuck are you talking about?
@Zoar
No now that I think about it I don’t want to know what the fuck you are talking about.
@seven2s
http://oxcgn.com/2009/02/27/killzone-2-review-ps3-exclusive-raises-the-fps-bar/
Care to explain?
I can explain. Hype is infectious. The game sucks on ice. The king if fucking naked.
Infrared: you’re wrong! (again). Nintendo did NOT raise the price of the wii in the UK. Due to inflation of the brittish pound prices of the wii had dropped to unprofitable levels and the only thing nintendo did was keeping the wii priced the same as before. It’s basic economy.
And next: you basically said erik and me were right about sony betraying the customer. You called it stupid but in reality it was betraying. They expected too much loyalty out of the ps3 fans (not fanboys like you) but the more intelligent people just didn’t swallow their bs.
@marnick
Not really wrong, but not right eiher. I basically summed it up, the trade prices for the Wii is going up due to depreciation of the british pound. Whether or not that the retailers will pass this down to the consumer is unknown, but imo they will just to cover the cost of the increase.
http://www.edge-online.com/news/nintendo-raise-trade-price-wii-uk
“They expected too much loyalty out of the ps3 fans (not fanboys like you) but the more intelligent people just didn’t swallow their bs.”
Wow….. Some people just don’t care about the bullshit that sony has pulled, I even cared about the bs for a while, but you know what happened? I just said “fuck it, it doesn’t affect me at all, in any way, shape, or form.”
Let me just say this as well, I bought a PS3 for MGS4. But did you see what I did there, I bought the console for a game, a game mind you. The whole reason we buy consoles are for the games in the first place. I bought a 360 for Oblivion, got a Wii for SMG, and I don’t regret any of those purchases at all.
and if you got a problem with that, then fuck you.
Don’t have a problem with that, apart from the fact that I borrowed a ps3 from a friend to play mgs4 (I can show you pictures of timestamp and the ps3, no probs)
Problem: It SUCKS, really, I can’t fathom how this game has ever been marketed as a system seller. Maybe it’s because I’ve never played an mgs game after metal gear on the snes. Suffice to say that ps3 still doesn’t have any decent games, after more than 2 years on the market.
So 400€ is a pretty giant leap, a leap of faith and one which I don’t intend to take. Especially concerning my gutfeeling that sony might pull the plug on the ps3 early 2010.
@marnick
I always believed that the Metal Gear series have been a polarizing series of games from the start, either you like it or don’t. I wouldn’t go far as saying, “Suffice to say that ps3 still doesn’t have any decent games, after more than 2 years on the market.”, it just like saying that all 360s have the RROD problem. There are good games on the PS3, not as many as the 360, but are there. Really it just goes down to preference, I buy most FPSs and driving games on the 360, and leave action and fighters to the PS3. As for the Wii thats a whole other thing.
Otherwise just out of curiosity, what part of europe are you from? You don’t have to answers it and I have nothing against my brethern from across the atlantic (since considering the fact I’m 4th generation polish, 100%, could explain alot).
You bought a $400(minimum) system for MGS4? Uh, I’m too stunned by that to say anything insulting or snarky.
Ummm, MGS4 SUCKED! 10 minutes of movie, 3 minutes of play! teh suxxorz! POS3 can have MGS5, the japs will love it, it will die here again, like all of the other POS3 AAA (I mean -F) titles.
But hey, it plays blu-rays great!
Chimera, you’re trying to deflect me with a review? A as in singular. Halo 3′s meta score is still higher. I guess your higher brain functions are blocked by that cock in your butt.
I’m from the glorious country of Belgium.
I agree that fighters are better on the ps3. I played a couple of hours virtua fighter yesterday and we had a blast. That game is so incredibly balanced, it’s beyond cool. But fighters have never been system sellers to me because frankly, I just suck at them. Why would I buy a system to get bashed time and again
@marnick
How is the country side? What I mean is how beautiful is the country outside of Brussels, because while I live in a city, I tend to enjoy the serenity of the country and rural areas more even though I’m technically a “city boy”.
Virtua Fighter has always been the shit. Your right about the balancing, its so well tuned that its not even funny.
Also you need to get to the “a-ha!” moment with a particular fighter. The best way I can describe the “a-ha!” moment is when everything starts clicking. Like the combo system, parrying, moves, the way your fighter behaves (ie movement speed and attack). Just give it time and try to keep with it.
Countryside in Brussels lol. You’d have to go a long way to find a greenpatch outside of a park there. I live in Limburg, the least civilized province of the country and close to the border with the Netherlands. Life’s a blast here. The women are pretty, the sun’s shining due to microclimate, I love the smell of fresh dung on the farms in the morning and a legal joint is ten minutes by bike.
And for the A-ha. Got it with Virtua fighter. I’ve never been able to properly block but it just clicked from the get-go. I even won the first match 3-0 vs my friend until he started to take it serious and get his best combo’s out. I love the hiphop guy with the mask, don’t know his name.
Isn’t it amazing with VF that it has really on 3 buttons (guard, punch, and kick), but it is such a deep and technical fighter.
Also hows the beer? To me nothing says more about the country than the beer it came from.
Oh hell yes: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/28/gdc09-dead-rising-2-will-have-most-rendered-characters-ever/
What’d you want me to say about the beer? It’s belgium, this country IS beer. We have 6 out of the 7 trappisten beer, officially those are the best beers in the world. Our country has over a thousand brands of beer, some good, some great. For ten million people that’s quite a feat.
In the pub a glass of normal beer costs around 1.60€, while special beers cost around 2.50€. Not too expensive if you ask me. I’ve been to Canada and a normal beer costed 4$CAD and special beer 6+, insane.
@erik
I know Dead Rising is a good game, but I couldn’t read the fucking text when I rented it was released. Tell me in all honestly should I go back now that I can actually read it and does it help big time with the experience of the game?
@marnick
Shit to get some trappistan beer is something I have always wanted. I heard its so good and smooth that its impossible to have just have one.
As your probably aware, american beer is mostly shit. Unless your talking about the “micro-brews” then thats a different story. I don’t even touch Budweiser because its purely piss in a bottle and it gives me a thumping headache. I personally enjoy a dark ale or a pale-ale.
@InfaredChimera
I won’t shit you when and say that Capcom didn’t drop the ball by not testing the game on an SDTV. In fact it was because of Dead Rising that I finally went out and bought an HDTV. But nevertheless the game is fun. Sometimes trying to lead followers with the survival instinct of an emo lemming can be annoying. But all in all beating down MASSIVE hordes of zombies with nearly anything is a great blast.
Which is why the Wii version is a fail. The hordes are what made the game. With even bigger hordes in the next game, I can only imagine the carnage that will be rained.
But yeah, if you can’t read the text the game isn’t playable at all.
I had more fun with Dead Rising: Wii than the original. Also, SDF needs to spend less time hammering farts, and more time checking to see if those twitter feeds are even true!
@erik
I was just wondering, because I just bought a HDTV as of saturday night. It didn’t even occur to me about Dead Rising untill I was looking at the PSN Store yesterday and I could actually read the text in that.
Otherwise thanks and I appreciate it. And the good thing is Dead Rising is cheap as shit right now as well.
According to SDF’s twitter the announcement is a PS3 price drop.
According to http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/03/31/playstation-2-will-be-available-for-under-100/
The announcement is that, “PlayStation 2 Will Be Available for Under $100″
Once again the SDF has been hoisted by their own petard, which is code for buttsex.
WOW, $ony still needs PS2 to sell since the POS3 SUCKS! They have lost sooooo much $$$ on the POS3 that they can’t drop the price either. But, I think they are going to have to, especially this holiday season if they are even hoping to have a chance to clear out some of the dusty, POS3 stock in most stores!
It’s good to see $ony struggle. Maybe the PS4 will be designed for the gamer, not the movie watchers!
Ah well, back to watching movies on my POS3 and playing great games on my 360!
xbox360FTW
Dude, seriously. Are you a troll? I am a big 360 fan, but you just go too far. Anyone who starts using terms like “POS3″ loses credibility in anyone’s book. Go away, and moderator, stop approving his messages. They are mindless and clearly written by someone just trolling.
Are you a forum moderator? Is that why YOU troll here all day. What, I can’t voice an opinion on a system I own? I bitch about the Wii and the 360 as well. So don’t tell me I troll, you little bastard! Why don’t you crawl out of your momma’s basement and get a job.
The POS3 (and I’ll call it what I want) failed us this generation as a gaming console, but is a very good blu-ray player. And I think the majority will agree. And they HAVE to drop the price this season or go the way of Circuit City!
I wonder if there are any legal implications for SDF to worry about with creating a fake Twitter page for David Jaffe?
Any guesses as to what sort of lame April Fools Day joke, SDF is gonna post, after their crazy butthole surfing sessions.
Well since everything that SDF posts is bullshit, for April fools they might post a credible article.
They NEED to drop prices soon. 400€ for six more months and the consumer will decide for sony. And the decision won’t be nice.
@marnick
I agree with you on that. Sure putting in two games are great and all, but since there two older games (well the Target bundle anyways includes I believe Motorstorm and Resistance), its still not what consumers want. A price drop at least will break into the “$300 is a acceptable price” frame of mind. Either way sony HAS to drop the price no later than september imho.
I agree Infrared, sony HAS to drop the price no later than september LAST YEAR imho.
They’re way past due and the ship is sinking fast.
@marnick
I wouldn’t say the ship is sinking, more like staying afloat on a intertube on a fast moving river.
The way I see it is this, either take a loss and sell the console for $100 less than last christmas and grow your installed base, or keep it at $400 and see the Wii and 360 kick your ass badly during the holiday season. Hell if they can come close to selling as many units as the 360 during the holidays that would be great, but since sony is ran by a bunch of idiots who say the dumbest shit ever, I bet there willing to not do a price drop, even though thats what EVERYONE WANTS!
Rather than a price drop they will probably start in on that insulting and pompous “get a second job” shit. You can disagree with me up and down about the PS3 itself being an insult and betrayal to its formerly loyal customers. But no one can (reasonably) disagree that saying that was just straight arrogant and assholish.
@erik
“get a second job”
“But no one can (reasonably) disagree that saying that was just straight arrogant and assholish.”
No doubt about that statement was a corporate cock slap to the core demographic that bought a PS2. Yeah, we can agree to disagree on what the PS3 is too us, but the decisions on how that console is being handled is a joke. Yeah Party Text Chat ( just what I have always wanted, fuck voice chat!).
(Also I was being very sarcastic on that last sentence)
What makes the demise of the PS3 even more sad is that Sony didn’t follow their own lessons from the early PS1 years. There is an excellent article in the current issue of Edge (issue 200) that covers it.
PS3 is the sunset for the playstation brand, darkness awaits.
And this is the last stop, where all the xbots come to talk about how bad sony is, yet no one is defending it anymore cause we are content with our systems. You could buy 10 crappy 360 games instead of a ps3, so have fun with that. Every time psn comes out with a new game I put my dollar in the slot with the assurance that my money is going toward a great game. When I buy a ps3 exclusive like Killzone 2 or Metal Gear or Infamous, I do so with the knowledge that the game is going to blow me away. Which they all have. Apart from haze to be sure. When I drop my ps3 with a game in it I don’t cringe, because I know it won’t scratch my game or be broken. I think Sony is telling people by avoiding the price drop that if you don’t want to shell out the moolah go screw yourselves cause you probably don’t have a tv to play on anyways. Go play a disney game on your wii and your black and white tv. You aren’t good enough to play on our network. In a couple months I will buy a $1— computer to play some pc only games and in 3 or 4 years it will be obsolete but I will PROMISE YOU that my ps3 will still be chugging along right beside the XBOX720 XTREME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM XPERIENCE with built in smell technology and new facial zit mapping technology for your homo little avatars. AHEM. suck it eric
Wow, you really are a whore aren’t Kanerilis? Sony is charging $100 more for a system which has been proven again and again to have no real edge over the 360 as far as hardware and a library that is only starting to catch up.
The PS3 really isn’t the technological powerhouse that you think it is. For starters Blu-Ray is a terrible format for games. It is designed for streaming movies, not for loading random game data.
Also you seem to forget that my experience with the PS3 isn’t second hand. I own a PS3 you pitfart. So your “People only like the 360 because they are poor, but would turn it over for a PS3 in a second” is really really bluntly retarded.
Furthermore I’m really looking for some games to “put my money in the slot” for for the PS3. Not including my horrible experience with renting Killzone 2 my PS3 hasn’t been on in… two months? There are just no games to play on it.
So have fun with your feature bloated, no library, blu-ray addled, shitpile put out by egotistical fuckjobs who have the audacity to tell me to get a second job to pay for their waste of silicon and plastic.
100 dollars more who’s the retard? A wireless adapter for xbox is 100 dollars? What about the fan some people had to buy when the system came out? Did you buy the warranty? As for psn downloads how about Crash commando, age of booty, burn zombie burn, flow, pixel junk games, savage moon, wipeout hd…hrm…those are a lot of games aren’t they? Moron.
Yes, who is retarded indeed. I’m glad that Microsoft didn’t force me to pay for a wireless adapter that I DON’T NEED and include it in their bloated price. And no I didn’t buy the warranty. I don’t see any reason for it. I’ve had my 360 for over a year without a hint of hardware failure. And that is with near daily usage.
My PS3 on the other hand, well I don’t use it enough to cause hardware failure, so who knows.
And those games you listed, no. Just dear god no. You can list a lot of games, but that doesn’t mean that they are good or worth buying. The only thing I’ve used PSN for is to download movies and television shows. That, I have to admit, they have a nice selection of. As far as games, no, that is a laugh.
Why would I want a wireless bridge? My dorm, where the 360 stands DOESN’T EVEN HAVE wireless access so give me 1 good reason to pay for something I don’t need?!
If I had a ps3 I’d have payed for stuff I don’t need. I don’t want free online (it sucks) I don’t want blu-ray, I don’t want wireless and above all, I don’t want a cell processor.
Also: 16 man text chat. It’s a collective slap in the face to all the people asking for cross-game voicechat. The ps3 obviously doesn’t have the power to run voicechat simultaneously to a game so it goes back almost 20 years in time to a BBS era. At least with the 360 we have a futureproof system with revolutionairy online features.
you’re a biased prick, all of those games are good, and your xbox is a ticking timebomb
I’m a biased prick? Yeah and you aren’t? Please. Come to the realization that the 360′s hardware is on par with the PS3′s before you say dumb shit like even the next generation xbox won’t be on par with the PS3.
And you can keep your shit PSN games. PSN is a video store, nothing more.
it’s not on par, it never will be, it’s only getting worse for 360, you don’t have a ps3, you are an xbot, I am rubber you are glue, yada yada yoda, you have a little pecker too
And better my ticking timebomb xbox than my deadweight PS3.
Really though, go read a, or any hardware comparison between the systems sometimes. If it can pierce that sloping cavebrow of yours you just may learn something.
@kanerilis
Is erik cynical, yes, but his he biased, no he isn’t. He is right about the 360 and PS3 being on pretty much even ground. There are things that the 360 can do better than the PS3 and vice versa.
Personally if I was starting a gaming website, he would be someone that I would want to be on as a editor. He knows his shit. I do disagree with him quite a bit, and healthy debate is always a good thing, but there is no denying he has a passion for gaming in general.
Also the PPE’s that xenon processor uses are slightly modified off of the cell processor that is in the PS3.
Another failing of the PS3 as far as hardware goes is the controller having an internal battery. So once that goes bye-bye and no longer holds a charge you have to buy a whole new controller.
But when InFamous comes out, I likely will actually turn m PS3 on for a few days. That game looks pretty good. Though I have a fear that it will end up being all hype like Haze was.
@erik
“So once that goes bye-bye and no longer holds a charge you have to buy a whole new controller”
Actually you are very wrong on that subject altogether, in your PS3s “safety and support” manual, it gives you instructions on how to replace the battery once it dies. Damn don’t you ever read the manuals? There good when your on the pot and got nothing else to read.
Uh-huh. Yeah I don’t give a fuck about what Sony wants. I’m not going to be tearing apart a controller to replace their battery. I’ll pick up one from the Gamestop garbage bin.
On top of that you aren’t going to be finding one of their specialized batteries in any random store. You will have to order it online. So by the time you get your battery and pay for shipping, well you would have been better off scavenging through the Gamestop bins anyways.
http://store.videogamecentral.com/ps3-internal-rechargeable-controller-battery.html.
There you go, also think of checking a specialty battery store as well, there also doesn’t see to be anything “special” about the battery as well.
And that battery really doesn’t look atypical to you at all? Really now?
PS3 and 360 are indeed on even ground, with a very slight bias for 360 (however small it may be).
BTW tom clancy’s endwar is awesome!
Don’t worry about my cavebrow, but I know roughly what the two systems are “capable” of, and in my opinion the biggest limitation to the xbox is the disc size and the gargantuan controllers, Alasm I’m so tired from work I don’t even feel like arguing. But come to think of it, how would you read a manual to a controller you don’t really have?
First off, the “size” of the 360 controller isn’t an issue. That is unless you have cerebral palsy or something. Secondly, the disc size for the 360 is sufficient for any game in the current gen. The reason that there is so much more information on a blu-ray disc is to cover the fact that the blu-ray sucks for data retrieval, thus needs a lot of junk data to compensate. Thirdly, I own a PS3 you yutz, just what makes you think I don’t?
Uh oh, looks like the PS family is losing another exclusive. http://www.vg247.com/2009/04/06/gran-turismo-to-continue-on-as-many-platforms-as-possible-pc-gamers-have-large-party/
the “size” is an issue to me, along with the layout of the controller. The disc size is not sufficient, says lost odyssey, infinite undiscovery, oblivion, and blue dragon. That’s what my google search brought up anyways. And I still don’t think you would keep your ps3 if you hate it that much unless you are a rich prick who doesn’t care if he wastes money, well I’m sure you’re a prick, apples and oranges huh? I mean, you come on here and slam ps3 when the pitt came out exclusively(fanboy) no one says anything about the systems it crashed, you just move from one rant to the other and I grow tired of even come here to defend a system that needs no defending by the 20 million people(other than you) who are happy with the system AND the games. You shouldn’t be so mad, your precious box has some games coming out SOMETIME this year right? I could google that too but I don’t care to. Don’t worry, you and your bf have a new wii sports game to play sometime this year.
The layout of the controller is superior to that of the PS3 when it comes to shooters. Although the PS3′s controller is better when it comes to fighters like Street Fighter. But again, really the size wouldn’t matter to anyone who doesn’t have some kind of degenerative muscular disease.
As for why I still have a PS3, well some games may eventually come out to supplement my so far small library for it. And on top of that it is a damn fine blu-ray player, and the capacity to download a large library of movies and television shows is another nice touch.
As far as The Pitt goes. The problem was fixed in about 24 hours time. But SDF didn’t report on that now did they? So I had to wait an extra day for a DLC pack, big deal. Fallout 3 on the PS3 on the other hand? No new content whatsoever. So waiting an extra day? Not that big of a deal.
And you need to come to the realization that your so called perfect system needs a LOT of defending. Even fanboys such as InfaredChimera can’t ignore all of the systemn’s flaws.
As for my Xbox library. I don’t need to wait for games to come out for it. I have plenty to tide me over. As for the PS3′s library. The system barely has anything good. My library thusfar for the PS3 consists of MGS4(A damn fine game. Maybe not up to MGS3′s level, but awesome in its own right), LBP(A bold new genre and one of the most innovative games of this generation), Bad Company(Not a AAA game but fun in its own right. Though I really should have bought the 360 version since I despise the PS3 controller for shooters. But it was on sale), and Resistance(SUCK, FAIL, SUCK, FAIL). And after that I can honestly say that there are NO games whatsoever currently out that I would spend any amount of money on for the PS3. So while you are googling, forget looking to see if there are any 360 games coming out, there are plenty. See if there are any PS3 games coming out for this overhyped movie player.
I have massive biceps, my hands are on the small, thick side, cause I am short, so I don’t like the xbox controller okay? But I will say that NOTHING is wrong with the ps3 or the games. That’s all
By small hands do you mean that you have some form of dwarfism? That is really the only way one would not be able to use a 360 controller. But then using any device designed for those post-puberty for a normal person would be a bitch for you.
http://www.gamesradar.com/f/10-reasons-to-hate-every-console/a-2009032717493323082/p-2
I good article that brings up alot of good points about all the consoles.
actually I used to hate the white and black buttons, cause in no way can you reach them. But Now it’s the r2 and l2 that can no way be reached my any comfortable maneuvers. I can play piano but in no way can I or would I ever be able to shred a guitar because of my short and clumsy fingers. I’m 5’8″ but a stocky build, and actually I had carpal tunnel at a young age and will probably develop fibromyalgia at some point like my mother. Want to poke fun at that xbot? Go play 50 cent’s game or something negative nancy
Yeah sure, I’ll poke fun at it. Really it just sounds like you are making shit up about the controller. People shorter than you have no problems with the controller. I think if I can manage to play a shooter with the PS3 controller you can manage with the 360 controller.
But I have to ask why would I play 50 cent’s game when there is such a large library of good games I can play? Many games with extra downloadable content to boot.
@erik
I heard the Blood on the Sand is actually fun, in a stupid sort of way. C’mon theres a button dedicated to taunting and it increases the players multiplyer when you string all your moves together. Granted I think Fiddy is shit as a musician (if you can call him that), but would you play the game if he wasn’t in it and it was somebody else other than him?
@kanerilis
Damn stop being such a pussy. My left knee is fucked up from skating and know what, I still skate. Even though theres a chance I can completly shatter my knee, I do it because I love it. So if you can manage to play the piano, sure as shit you can handle a console controller.
Also if you got sausage fingers you can still play the guitar, Rob Flynn of Machine Head plays lead and hes got sausage fingers.
@InfaredChimera
But there is the little problem of having to look at myself in the mirror to do things like brushing my teeth, a feat which would be harder after playing that game.
okay I didn’t say I couldn’t play guitar, which I can, I SAID I couldn’t shred. Sometimes in cold weather, my hands lock up like lobster claws. I’m sorry chimera if you had a disco dance skating accident and blew out your knee but this is a little different. I will have to live my life with chronic pain in my joints and muscles, no one asked for pity. I just said I had a reason to not like the huge controller because it is uncomfortable in my hands.
The size difference between the PS3 controller and the 360 is really negligible when you compare them. And anyways at least the trigger buttons of the 360 controller are easier to use than the shoulder buttons of the PS3 controller. When I initially played Bad Company on the 360 and then on the PS3 I was surprised by just how much more difficult the game was due to the awkward control’s of the PS3′s controller. Though to be fair then when I tried to play SF4 on the 360 it was a pain in the ass due to the goofy ass D-pad on the 360′s controller.
Really it all comes down to what kind of game is being played. I don’t even want to try and fathom playing Bioshock on the PS3. I can’t imagine what frustration of the PS3′s controller would do to my opinion of that game. But anyways, yeah. You are grasping at straws here. Also 5’8″, not really that short.
okay
Mind you, the one thing the PS3 controller has on the 360 is that all the buttons are pressure sensitive. It’s a tiny thing, I know, but I would have loved it for AC6.
When using the ps3 controller my hand gets cramped in less than an hour with fighters or less than five minutes with shooters. With my average-sized hands the thing is just too small. Also it doesn’t have any weight as if the thing could snap with a minor twisting movement.
have you bought a dual-shock, they are weightier
They are still as cheap in use as a mexican prostitute.
Total different point: why does sony ripoff their customers time and again with new iterations of the exact same controller? Don’t release your console if you can’t even offer basic, 10 years old functionality like rumble. They even forgot about the most basic, 20 years old functionality called gaming.
So…….. has anyone played Chronicles of Riddick? If not at the very least give it a rent, but its definitly a buy imo. But to be fair I did have my reservations about it when I rented it when Butchers Bay came out, but I ended up being very surprised on how good a game based off a character from a movie can be.
I played the athena demo and was impressed and at the same time a little scared by the cheap feel. Is the full game any different than the demo??
It has a mixture of stealth and shooting, otherwise its still a solid game. Especially since you get a graphical updated version of Butchers Bay (and the original was a looker, considering it ran on the xbox) and Assault, so too me it’s worth every penny.
the demo was the gest of it, but it never lets up, so it doesn’t get old quickly. Also there are side missions as well, so that does add to the length of the game. Also if you have any interest in the Riddick character it does answer a important question about his eyes, and it will make you appreciate (too me) how good the sci-fi universe which has been created for this character actually is.
I can say that I haven’t played Chronicles of Riddick. But that is primarily due to the fact that I really didn’t like Pitch Black and therefore didn’t watch any of its spinoff movies.
I’m not saying that it is a bad game. (as I did, and still stand behind, with Killzone 2) But really if the setting of the game doesn’t interest me than it could have stellar gameplay and I still won’t play it.
Death to the consoles : D
I’m all into counter-strike once again and it’s timelessness surpasses almost any console title. The only thing I take my console for atm is some oldfashioned halo deathmatch.
@erik
I thought Pitch Black was kinda “meh” as a movie, but Riddick was the only interesting part of it imo. Otherwise its a really good game, and I don’t think you’re alone on that way of thinking either (about seeing pitch black and not seeing or playing the spin-offs). Personally I was surprised Dark Athena even came out, since Butchers Bay didn’t light up the sales charts either. In your case, I would just rent it when there’s absolutely nothing else to play just to see what I’m fapping about.
I’ve never really liked Vin Diesel. If I could separate my disinterest in him from the character itself, then maybe I might like Riddick.
Also: I just downloaded a trailer of the powers for InFamous. Yeah, now THAT game will (hopefully) be worth actually turning on my deadweight PS3 for.
Ya know what’s sad? The most exciting thing 3tards have to go ape about is a 12 year old PS1 game. FF7 LOL!
no what’s sad is you, trying to take a swing at mocking someone. But you fail, everytime
@Kanerilis
You should talk, just another 3tard blinded by $ony’s monolith, the POS3! You fit right in with the SDF tard force.
YEAH just strap yourself nice and tight into your sinking ship buddy
@erik
What sucks is that both Prototype and InFamous are coming out (I think) the same day or week.
@xbox360ftw and kanerilis
would you two nancies just get a room or something. For fucks sake BOTH the 360 and PS3 have faults. The sooner you guys realize this little nugget of information, the happier you will be.
And lets face it, the 16-bit generation was the shit for many reasons.
@infrared: Yes, both consoles have flaws. However a couple of minor flaws on an otherwise very powerful console make a winner out of the 360.
The ps3 however has so many faults in crucial aspects of the console, that make it a failure in the long run.
If the 360 is a sinking ship and the PS3 can’t keep up with said sinking ship, then what does that make the PS3? Chum? A fucking coral reef?
Anyways, I’ll probably pick up Prototype some time down the road after InFamous. Prototype looks fun, but InFamous has that plain clothes super human charm like Heroes on NBC.
@marnick
The way I see a flaw is this; a flaw is a flaw, no matter how major or minor it is, its still a flaw. MS could have had better QA, Sony could have been more reasonable on the price, etc….
But you wanna know what is the kicker though? Its that each one of the 3 consoles are really good in their own right, but it was the decisions that went into them that have been flawed all around.
No, infrared, the 360 does not have gamebreaking flaws. The ps3 does. The ps3 is NOT good in it’s own right because there’s at least 10 things that prevent it from being a decent gaming machine.
The 360 breaks, Q&A could have been better, but in the end, I can still game with the thing and it got some damn good games to top it of.
@marnick
Dude that is some straight up fanboyish shit that you said. I can play COD4 or SF4 on either console and besides the controllers being different, they run exactly the same. A gamebreaking flaw is contained in the game, not with the system its running on.
I’ll be honest that I still play my 360 more than my PS3, but does that mean I hate the PS3, no I don’t.
No Infrared, COD4(ps3) does NOT, in any way work even remotely similar to the xbox version. Cross game invites, voice chat, mandatory headset and other things make the experience vastly superior on the 360. COD4 is a multiplayer game and therefore better on the 360. Denying this is fanboyism by default.
Happy easter to all of you.
what is a mandatory headset? Marnick, go eat a stick of butter, you sloppy ass couch potato. I don’t know who declared you the god of gaming, but words like vastly and superior denote something that is very different than that. If I want to play the same game you are playing on xbox with my friend I will just message them and hope the developer hasn’t made it too hard to accomplish(lke resident evil) Voice chat is coming eventually, but these things you are “slamming” the ps3 for still aren’t NEARLY as bad as $100 million red ring of death, so if it’s so easy to name 10 things that prevent it from being a good machine, go ahead and name 10 games that you have and still can play to this day on 360.
Ten things? I’ll bite
1. The price
2. Going along with the price being forced to pay for shit that you might not need like the internal wi-fi.
3. Lack of downloadable content for many multi-platfom games.
4. Internal controller battery
5. Six-axis in general.
6. Forced installs
7. Blu-ray is a crap format for anything other than movies.
8. Sony being arrogant fucks about the system. You think you are worthy of me getting a second job? No, fuck yourselves.
9. Getting rid of backwards compatibility in later models.
10. Really no difference at all between what the PS3 can do and what the 360 can do, despite price. There is nothing to justify the extra $100.
Now ten games
1. Dead Rising
2. Mass Effect
3. GTA4 with extra content
4. Fallout 3 with extra content
5. Bioshock
6. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
7. Braid
8. Left 4 Dead
9. Dead Space
10. A library of original Xbox games as the 360 hasn’t turned its back on backwards compatibility.
1. The price is right, bitch
2. you’re forced to pay for internet that you already have?
3. so microsoft paid for exclusive content, whopitydoo.
4. have fun changing batteries loser
5. Six-axis is light, easy to handle, works great with fists of plastic
6. Forced installs protect you laser, but exclusives like kz2 and resistance don’t use em
7. Blu-ray is good for games, they are impossible to scratch!
8. don’t get another job, get a better one!
9. it’s compatible on most games, really
10. Unlock the power of the spu dork.
Now ten games
1. Dead Rising(I’m jealous)
2. Mass Effect(looks so 2001)
3. GTA4 with extra content(have fun with your gay biker missions)
4. Fallout 3 with extra content(jealous)
5. Bioshock(hello? updated for ps3?
6. Elder Scrolls: Oblivionhello??? UPDATE
7. Braid(please, been there done that_
8. Left 4 Dead(pc, it’s boring)
9. Dead Space(lost intrest after antigrav)
10. what library? You my friend, are an xbot. You are probably around 20 and were brought up in the xbox generation. I feel truly sorry for you. One day soon you will come over to the light side, but until then you will have to just go F yourself
“1. The price is right, bitch”
No it isn’t. It is pretty obvious as the 360 has comparable power without ripping off it’s customers. Face facts that you are a whore and you don’t mind being slapped in the face with Sony’s dick for whatever price they set.
“2. you’re forced to pay for internet that you already have?”
No numbnuts. You are forced to pay for wi-fi. Rather than leave it as an option such as with the 360 it is added amongst the price of the system as a whole. And even though my PS3 has this useless wi-fi I STILL have it connecte via a wire to my router.
“4. have fun changing batteries loser”
Yeah that takes all of five seconds. Big fucking deal. How long does it take to charge the PS3 controller? You know until it stops holding a charge.
“5. Six-axis is light, easy to handle, works great with fists of plastic”
Replace light with cheap Taiwan plastic and you have something. Also if you are going to rip of the Wii’s motion controls at least try harder to do so. Rather than a crappy plastic, over light, and poor motion controls. How I loathed the retarded wheel turning in Killzone 2.
“6. Forced installs protect you laser, but exclusives like kz2 and resistance don’t use em”
They are an annoying pain in the ass and I’d rather not have them outside of a PC game. They were REALLY irritating in MGS4. How I longed for the days when a simple disc switch was all that was needed.
“7. Blu-ray is good for games, they are impossible to scratch!”
I think a format that is good for games would be better at its load times of nonstreaming data that is not a movie wouldn’t it?
“8. don’t get another job, get a better one!”
My god you are such a whore. If Sony told you that you had to pay $900 for the system AND lick your own balls you would have no problem with it would you? Fanboy fuckmunch.
“9. it’s compatible on most games, really”
You know what games my PS3 is backwards compatible on? Get ready for this: NONE. That is right. They COMPLETELY got rid of it in the later models.
“10. Unlock the power of the spu dork.”
Read a hardware comparison sometime moron.
“2. Mass Effect(looks so 2001)”
Graphics whore.
“3. GTA4 with extra content(have fun with your gay biker missions)”
Have fun with your… oh that’s right. PS3 GTA4 has NOTHING.
“5. Bioshock(hello? updated for ps3?”
Oh that is right. You got it over a year later didn’t you? So 2K threw you guys a bone. Big deal. But despite SDF earlier claims that a PS3 Bioshock would run in a superior manner it was pretty much a straight port. Sucks to be you.
“6. Elder Scrolls: Oblivionhello??? UPDATE”
There is updated content on XBL. Sorry to dissapoint.
“7. Braid(please, been there done that_”
It is really one of the better games of this system cycle. Sorry you can’t enjoy it.
“8. Left 4 Dead(pc, it’s boring)”
I think you are thinking of Killzone 2.
“9. Dead Space(lost intrest after antigrav)”
And yet Killzone 2 interested you. So your point is null and void.
“10. what library? You my friend, are an xbot. You are probably around 20 and were brought up in the xbox generation. I feel truly sorry for you. One day soon you will come over to the light side, but until then you will have to just go F yourself”
The library of backwards compatible games from the original Xbox that you can play on the 360. As compared to the PS3 where you can play ZERO PS2 games.
But you know what really helps protect the laser in regards to Resistance and Killzone 2? Not playing them. My dear sweet hell those two games were putrid.
And for fairness sake I will list 10 PS3 games.
1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Little Big Planet
3. Uh…
4. well shit
5. I really can’t think of anything.
6.
7.
8. Well maybe when InFamous comes out I’ll be able to list three games.
9. Yeah nothing is coming to me.
10. Okay this was a waste of time.
So the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3 is awesome. Sandbox has so much potential, and Orbital and Assembly are just fun.
Also saw the trailer for Killzone 2′s DLC. The train level looks interesting, especially with all the people that will be screaming about environmental deaths. I’ll have to rent it sometime.
dude, you made 0 points that whole 2 hours it took you to write that mess, Just because you can change a battery in 5 seconds doesn’t mean you can drive to the store to buy batteries in 5 seconds. Like I said, you are a little prick who thinks he knows everything, but you don’t so don’t get cocky! KZ2 Kills halo hands down in every universe, even the one you could get laid by a real woman in. THERE WERENT EVEN ANY GOOD GAMES ON THE FIRST XBOX SO WHY WOULD IT MATTER IF ITS COMPATIBLE OR NOT YOU IDGIT! Almost every game you love is on ps3 minus the content microsoft paid for, and is getting paid for, cause YOU in fact are a drone, willing to buy anything for your precious box, Or maybe you are one of bill gate’s kids, not wanting to waste any of your million on a ps3, cause you want to stick with daddy’s horrible machine.
“dude, you made 0 points that whole 2 hours it took you to write that mess,”
If you think that took me two hours to write then you need to put down the suck ass games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted and pick up a copy of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
“Just because you can change a battery in 5 seconds doesn’t mean you can drive to the store to buy batteries in 5 seconds.”
I’m usually at the store twice a week anyways. You know I have to buy things like groceries. So as long as I always have a second set of batteries on hand to back up whatever is in my controller, then buy another set whenever I use my back up set I’m good. On the other hand for the shit, overly-light, PS3 junk-controller you have to buy some esoteric ass specialty battery THEN wait for it to arrive in the mail.
“KZ2 Kills halo hands down in every universe, even the one you could get laid by a real woman in.”
Is that really the best you got? That Killzone 2 is better than a pile of shit? Now tell me that Killzone 2 is better than Daikatana, or the E.T. game buried in the desert.
I have news for you. Just because a game is better than Halo doesn’t mean that it is a good game.
“THERE WERENT EVEN ANY GOOD GAMES ON THE FIRST XBOX SO WHY WOULD IT MATTER IF ITS COMPATIBLE OR NOT YOU IDGIT!”
And one could easily say that there aren’t any good games on the PS3. But regardless the original Xbox had a few good titles worth picking up. Such as GTA: San Andreas, Jade Empire, and Marvel vs. Capcom.
And you are avoiding the fact that one of the PS3′s flaws is them giving up on backwards compatibility. You are such a fanfucktard you can’t even admit that the PS3 has flaws. I can admit that the 360 has flaws. You can run into severe hardware issues if you are unlucky enough to get your hands on one of the earlier models. Then the fact that the community games thing they are trying is really retarded.
“Almost every game you love is on ps3 minus the content microsoft paid for”
Yeah, well thing is you see I LIKE content. You know how you feel about seeing high-rez HD testicles? That is how I feel about content. And besides, why would I subject myself to playing those games on the PS3′s controller? I bought Bad Company for the PS3 (because I found a deal) after I initially tried it for the 360. But the experience is somewhat marred by the controller of the PS3.
But I really don’t expect you to understand any of this. YOU are a drone and will pay Sony any sum of money they ask and ask for no games in return. Are you really happy with Sony ripping you off? Really?
As for me being a Microsoft drone? Sorry to disappoint you skippy. But just why would a Micosoft fanboy have an order of three PS2 games coming in the mail and go out to buy his fifth PS2 tomorrow? Answer that junior.
because he is confused about his sexuality and doesn’t want to go to the store to pick up hanna montana, high school musical, and the rape game. Go overdose on kak dong fondler
“Almost every game you love is on ps3 minus the content microsoft paid for, and is getting paid for, cause YOU in fact are a drone, willing to buy anything for your precious box, Or maybe you are one of bill gate’s kids, not wanting to waste any of your million on a ps3, cause you want to stick with daddy’s horrible machine.”
You drink sonys kool-aid as well, so shut the fuck up.
Also WHY would anyone in their right mind wanna buy the PS3 versions of Fallout 3 or GTA4 (unless they don’t got a choice), even though I haven’t downloaded the dlc for those games, its still nice to know that I can when I want to.
As for Left 4 Dead, personally that game wouldn’t work on the PS3 for a simple reason, no one ever has a fucking headset on (looking at COD4 especially) and trying to get through a level would be just about impossible.
Braid is fucking brilliant, get it off steam right now, and if you think its “been there, did that” then jump off a cliff. Its one of the few games that are “art” and also takes a level of intelligence to actually understand the game.
XBL is the best service offered by all three consoles. If ya can’t admit it then once again jump off a cliff (or onto a guy named cliff).
I got a good job that pays quite well, and the PS3 is still too expensive imo. Also stand alone BD players are starting to get alot cheaper than a PS3, so unless sony wants to lose potential sales, they better drop the price no later than August.
The original xbox did have so really good games. Panzer Dragoon Orta, Deathrow, GTA 3 series, Breakdown, Chronicles of Riddick, Fable, Max Payne 1 & 2, FarCry Instincts, Burnout 3, and Crimson Skies. All fairly well liked games and some in there that didn’t get enough love.
While erik may come off as a “know it all”, at least he does know what he’s talking about, unlike you basing on personal opinion.
Finally, infrared, we agree. The 360 is superior for online games and games with dlc. It’s quite difficult to argue with someone who’s deluded into thinking the opposite.
As good as KZ2 might be (it’s not) it will never work online (still doesn’t) because the lack of voice (beyond other problems)
@marnick
There’s no debating the fact that XBL is the better service. Though I wish it would goto a monetary route (no more points) like how PSN does it, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
As far as saying a game like KZ2 won’t work online, I disagree to a extent. Lets put this way, it is certainly playable from a gameplay standpoint (imo), the online is a blast (with the right people), and when everyone is forming a tactic to take the other team down its almost on the same level as COD4 (in terms of fun). If you see most of my complaints are due to the lack of people using a headset, I mean if sony has people spend $400 on a console, at least they could do is put in a headset for online games.
I’d rather had them slash wi-fi (it sucks for gaming) and include a headset (it’s mandatory for good online)
But no, their online service had to tackle XBL without any of the major innovations that were introduced 5 years earlier. It’s like building a racecar that runs on diesel instead of kerosine.
The PS3 has been stuck at “it begins” since launch!
Some people are calling 2009 the year of the ps3 already, based (again) on unreleased games with bad trackrecords. Oh the irony once microsoft releases a couple of killer exclusives and 2009 will become the third year in a row for xbox360
I got better things to do than trying to talk to a bunch of jokers. Braid is gay, time powers and wierd backgrounds make a game art now? please.
Face it Kanerilis, you’re a fanboy. There is really no other explanation for dumping on an awesome game like Braid then touting the bland, generic, cookie cutter waste that is Killzone 2.
@Kanerilis
You are such a $ony fucktard it’s not even funny! None of your arguments hold true. The POS3 has been a sinking ship for Phony. Unless they drop the price by $100 or more come November the latest, things look very dim for the POS3 for the holidays. We did not need the built-in wifi (any serious gamer knows wired is best, wireless sucks), no POS3 in-game chat (epic fail),bluray which I saw as the deathray for POS3 actually saved it from going flatline, since only a handful of POS3-only games are worth buying. But, it was still forced since Sony doesn’t give a rats ass about gamers, just movies. Other than that, it’s a really good movie player with a couple of good games to play.
Wii is a fad, this is the last good year for it. The controls and graphics suck. Yes, I am a graphics whore (I have three 9800 GTX cards in SLI, a quad AMD and 8 gig DDR2 so I can play Crysis, TF2 in full HD glory!)
The 360 is the best console this generation, period.
Get off your mom, get out of the basement and buy a 360 and have fun! You can watch movies on the POS3.
A quad amd? Damn you fail, intel is the way to go for games.
Tri-sli? That’s like a 90% increase of power over a single 9800. You could get the same amount of power with an ati radeon hd4890 which will cost you only 200€
basically I’m saying: your description of your pc proves you are lying. You don’t have those specs as they are as rediculous as unlikely. 8 gig ram, c’mon there is not a single game out atm that needs more than 6 gigs.
@kanerilis
If you think that Braid is some joke of a game, then you’re wrong in so many ways it ain’t funny. NOT once does that game make you feel that you have wasted your time playing it, it gives you a sense of gratification for figureing out the puzzles, and the time powers all have a purpose in context with the story (thats the way I took it).
Braid is a joke, 360 is a joke, all you jokers are jokes, TF2? I want to buy a 360 for dead rising, dead rising 2, maybe fable 2….urmmm…Kung fu panda?
Yeah you wanna know what a joke is, paying between $500-$600 for a console when its first launched, then go on to say we should get a second job to get one, then talk about how there won’t be multible sku’s like the competition and talk up the importance of backwards compatibility and only to take it out. And lets not forget about such classic jokes such as that rumble is not something people want anymore and the mostly horrible six-axis shit.
At lest we forget about the “halo killer” known as Haze, damn that game lit up the charts didn’t it? Funny how Crytec just saved there sorry asses, and lets not forgot as well that sony let out a “how-to” play lair to the press, yeah a shit game needs some explaining, especially the controls where shit and should HAVE analog controls out of the box!
Should I stop Kanerilis or should keep going about the POOR ass Decisions sony has made.
Don’t get me wrong I like my PS3, oblivious to its faults is just being ignorant (or any other consoles faults for that matter)
If you want to play Kung-Fu Panda that badly it is available on the PS3. But I see you have bought into the idiotic statement from SDF a few months back about it being some kind of a 360 exclusive.
Face facts the only jokes here are the PS3 and you.
I know the 360 has a couple of faults, but none are of the kind that impact the gaming options of the machine.
The ps3 however has several mistakes that severely hamper the ability to play games. Bad gpu, cell cpu, blu-ray, wifi, lack of memory, mandatory installs amongst other subpar features like the online (or lack thereof) and sony support (lack thereof)
Um, all those failures you mentioned are in the past, I paid 700+ for 2 games, 2 controllers, wi-fi, internal fan, 80 gig hard drive, backward compatibility, free internet, web browser, blu ray player…hrmm lets see…I count at least an outstanding 10 years of service and enjoyment out of that don’t you? I paid 12 hundred on this quad core piece of crap I am typing on, and I’m sure the damn thing is going to be out of date in 5 years, unless I dump more money into it of course. Long story short, if you want to talk shit don’t do it to me because I’m rubber, and your mother isn’t giving me her std’s.
At least that quad core piece of crap has better graphics than your ps2.5. Remember crysis? Even medium would be too hard for the machine and high would be stretching it for the 360. A real gamer has a high-end rig next to his 360.
okay yeah, I admit, the biggest prob for ps is that it doesn’t have Antialiasing or whatever
You think that the PS3 won’t be outdated in under 10 years? Oh to be young and retarded again.
erik, you mean Kanerilis is r3tarded!
Hey marnick, what makes you think I’m lying about my computer? Never heard of 3 cards in SLI? Hate to tell you but my quad AMD is a much better value than an intel (fuck chipzilla) machine and can run rings around any console (especially the POS3). No console this gen can run Crysis at full across the board. Better do some research the HD4890 does not beat 2-3 9800 GTX+ cards in SLI. Sorry, and I only paid $299 for the three cards. Love newegg.
Now mind you when I say that I’m fully aware that the 360 will also be outdated in the same time as the PS3. That is the speed at which technology moves these days. Difference being that I’d rather spend less money on something that will go out of date around the same time.
On a side note not being able to run Crysis is a boon. That game is like Killzone 2 in that after you peel back the HD you got NOTHING.
Yeah ps3 has at least 8 years left, take it to the bank. That’s like 4 or 5 360′s away. I wonder where all the broken ones go, maybe we could build a bridge out of them for your mother to live and work under?
Oh, you are under the impression that the failure rate for the 360′s is still that high? So how do you explain that my 360 is well over a year old with no hardware failure WITH daily useage?
Eight years left? Hopefully not. Sony needs to atone for the PS3 as soon as possible and release the PS4. With any luck the humbling they received this cycle will ensure the PS4 lives up to the legacy of the PS2. Because the PS3 sure the hell ISN’T it.
don’t worry, the warranty is now extended on the E74 error.
Why would the warranty interest me? I don’t need it.
it would be expired anyway hoss
I guess it’s a good thing that I purchased my 360 after the hardware issues were sorted out. Now if only Sony could solve the PS3′s hardware issue, the one where you don’t give a shit enough to turn in on.
Or the bluray drive fails (on my third 60 GB POS3)! Wonder how many people have been screwed by $ony for that! I had the first for 13 months, had to pay $140. The second for 8 months, and they wanted me to pay again. After 80 minutes on the phone yelling ata manager and threatening letter to AG, they replaced it. Now on my third. $ony warranty sucks, as does the POS3, as does the company!
At least it still plays movies!
Kanerilis, I have one 4890 and I run crysis in ultrahigh (custom config) at 40 frames without a blimp. No overclocks, nothing fancy.
SLI fails over single card because the second card adds only 40-60% power increase and the third one less than 10%. If you needed three cards in SLI, I’d be damned if I knew for which game you’d need that kind of power? If you like to waste money, then by all means buy another ps3.
And about crysis, I’m about 20% into the campaign, and apart from a gorgeous techdemo, it got nothing once you peel the graphics away. Indeed kinda like KZ2. In all honesty I uninstalled it and downloaded Postal2. I’d never played it before and finished the campaign in about a week. That’s a real game despite any graphical shortcomings.
Postal 1 was a great game, GREAT game. They shoulda stayed 3/4 view. I’m trying to figure out how spending 500 on a system that lasts so long is a wasted of money? Yeah, every system has the rare hardware problem BUT xbox360ftw, you have to be making that up, or do some gay things with your system. Marnick, quoting specs to me is like speaking another language, I kinda understand, but that’s not my forte buddy, so I have no idea how to even respond to that. As for you eric, I tell you this all the time. JUST SELL YOUR PS3 PLEASe
If you can’t tell why spending $500 on a console is foolish then frankly you are a fool. If you look at good systems both past and present like the PS2 and 360 you see that having a system at a reasonable price backed up with a great library is a winning strategy. Instead this console cycle Sony decided to load up their console with price inflating bullshit.
But hey, you are a whore and like to be slapped around. That’s cool. But you have to understand that not everyone will accept every arrogant statement made by Sony as some fucking gospel.
What I said basically was: three cards in SLI is a waste. A single card would have performed exactly the same because the games aren’t on par yet.
The ps3 is a waste of money because it doesn’t have enough games to warrant the expense. Three years in and we have 2, maybe 3 games worth playing on the system. What will that be once sony slashes the ps3 early 2010? Five games tops?
On a side note I am once again an owner of the system which hands down beats the shit out of the 360 and the PS3. None other than the PS2. I’m not sure what I think of the silver look, but I am liking the metal chassis. Lets just hope this one lasts more than a year.
I have oblivion, dark kingdom, fallout 3, grand theft auto4, fight night 3, Dragonball burst limit, resistance 1, armored core, madden, unreal tournament, resident evil 5, rock band, killzone 2, disgaea3, sega sonic collection, street fighter 4, metal gear solid 4, spider man 3&web of shadows, soul caliber 4(traded it), rag doll kungfu, comet crash, worms, burn zombie burn, nobi boy, savage moon, crash commando, age of booty, bionic commando, elefunk, super stardust hd, castlevania, blast factor, skydiving, everyday shooter, pixeljunk monsters, pain.
awful lot of games to be a waste of money huh?
Ouch. It hurts to own Fallout 3 and GTA4, and Oblivion on the PS3. You really are missing out on some good content for those games. But I suppose if you don’t have any other recourse it’s forgivable.
And regardless of how many games you own, it is still pretty much commonly agreed upon that $500 is too much for a game console.
Hey guys! I’m back!
Just thought I’d swing by and throw some opinions into the foray here…
I was really happy earlier when I saw Erik, Marnick and Chimera getting along nicely. It almost looked like a real discussion.
Next topic – AMD quads aren’t bad. In fact, they’re not even a little bit bad. They happen to be completely competetive with Intel’s chips, and are basically as fast as their 45nm quads at the same clockspeed. And my £200 AMD quad clocked right up to 4GHz on the stock cooler, an achievement people would be proud of on a QX9650 costing 3x as much, and I even had it running at 4.6 briefly (I can send you video footage if you really want) on a £15 cooler. Tell me that’s shit for gaming.
Anyways, if I may carry on with the topic at hand…
I loved the PS2 as well Erik, though I wasn’t either rich enough or enough of a fan to get a second one when it died (bear in mind I’m only the tender age of 18 now – I was teeny when that thing was around).
But I really can’t see why Kanerilis refuses to accept what is widely held as truth.
The PS3 has flaws. Dude, we’re all quite willing to accept the flaws in our machines (my PC has cost me a huge amount, and until I chose to install a few games on my 360 [got an Elite for £90 off a mate so I had space woot] it was unbearably loud), so why can’t you simply see that the PS3 IS NOT the Alpha and the Omega.
It’s really a shame to see someone fallen to Sony’s bullshit marketing. Best console on the market? Only because they aren’t considering the 360 and Wii as competition… What is their competition then dare I ask? If there is none, how come they aren’t doing as well as Nintendo are? (Where the fuck is THEIR competition…)
Seriously. Erik, I’m not gonna deny that you know your shit here. And I will no longer hold your hatred of KZ2 against you (congrats for dipping your nutsack in acid). But NONE of us are helping the situation. You want Kanerilis to STFU about PS3? Stop egging him on.
Infrared Chimera, fair play man. I know we’re all like “I don’t give a fuck what some little 18 year old shit [me] thinks of me!” but hey, I look up to the way you’re acting here. You’re a good example to all of us today.
Let’s play a game. It’s called “Point out 10 flaws with our favourite platform”. The rules… Don’t defend the flaws, just list them.
My favourite platform is PC, so:
1) It’s expensive. My graphics cards alone cost about £200 a piece. The CPU, another £200. Motherboard, £150. Case, £155. RAM £100.
Connecting the shit up. Mouse, keyboard, mic, one cable for every 2 speakers [unless you use optical, which everyone should but close to fuck all PCs have support for], and any other shit you want to run. It’s a far cry from the power, all in one AV lead, and maybe ethernet you’ll find jammed into a console.
2) Online multiplayer is awkward. Steam is great, but what about games that don’t support it? Games for Windows Live is nice again, but support is narrow. Most games you have to sign up with their devs, and tie your CD key to your account. What bullshit is that?
3) Similar hardware specs to the consoles yield utterly shit performance. I don’t know how consoles manage it, but their masively inferior GPUs crank out graphics that can comfortably hammer PC graphics cards more than twice as powerful. How the 48 stream processors in the XBox 360 can run GRID while the 320 in the next-half-generation Radeon 2000 series struggle to is anyone’s guess.
4) Driver support is flaky for some things. If you’re running Linux, good luck getting WiFi to work. If you choose to follow the masses and run Windows (I’m guilty) then you’ve got to put up with going online and manually grabbing drivers for more than a few accessories.
5) Security. For fuck’s sake, who thought to put UAC in Vista and 7? Why could they not clone the SUDO system from Unix (Linux and OSX)? “Are you sure you want to do that thing you just said you wanted to do?” “FUCK OFF WINDOWS!”
6) Spec differences between people. When you play online with a decent PC and the game lags up, SOMEONE is guaranteed to get the blame for it. Joe Bloggs with his 2.4GHz dual core will always get shat on in Supreme Commander.
7) Hax. I swear I’ve not played a single game of Crysis online where I didn’t see at least one person flying through the air, nailing headshots from hundreds of meters away with assault rifles that have no jitter. It’s ok for single player guys, but keep that shit offline.
9) I was clutching at straws to get 8, so I apologise for not quite living up to the name of the game. Anyways, have fun folks.
Holy shit. I never realised that would be WALL OF TEXT – RAEP THEIR EYES!
Sorry.
BTW I should mebbe point out – my quite of £600 or so was for the QX9650 when new. Naturally it doesn’t cost that much now.
@Aranthos
“You want Kanerilis to STFU about PS3? Stop egging him on.”
I’m happy to continue prodding him to have him impotently try and defend himself actually.
well I’m trying to eat my dinner before going to work, but yeah dude I got oblivion on pc first, but no I don’t care if you have horse armor or not
@erik
I gotta crack open my PS2 again to fix it (its a launch console), its been giving me DREs again, which sucks because I just got that Gradius collection that came out shortly after the PS2 launched.
Otherwise I don’t think you should have a problem with the PS2 silver slim model and you shouldn’t have a problem with it at all, just don’t rent or buy games that have a sticker or something like that on the disc, it can throw off the balance of the laser due to the extra weight of the disc.
Also Raiden Fighers Aces comes out next month for the 360
I just wish we could get DoDonPachi on live arcade or PSN.
Well really InFamous is going to be my next purchase.
Well make that my next major purchase. With a new PS2 now there is a world of good used games available for around $15 at Gamestop.
@erik
InFamous is looking good, and I’m with you on that being a purchase (well I might have to pick up Bionic Commando before that, don’t know yet). The good thing is its being released on or around May 26th, so at least there’s time before Prototype gets released instead of picking between the two.
At least there are games coming out for the Wii that are catching my attention as well, such as Boom Blox Party (day one purchase along side a case of Newcastle) and The Conduit.
Ten flaws about my favourite system? That would be the DS I guess. Anyways I’m up for the challenge, here I go
1) the gap between the screens is too big which means
2) focusing on both screens can be tedious at times
3) the sticks tend to sharpen over time which leads to
4) scratches on the touch screen are inevitable
5) the only is horrible
6) top screen should have been touch too
7) too easy to hack with illegal software
8: Not enough software onboard (in firmware) pictochat is a joke
9) The games are too expensive, 20€ is alot for a game with n64 graphics
10) it rapes any sony platform (actually that’s a good thing)
And for good sports I’ll do the same for the 360
1) It doesn’t have vga or dvi cables out of the box
2) Without installs it’s quite loud but nothing too bad
3) Gamerscore is cool but doesn’t give any rewards beyond e-peen
4) Most games aren’t exactly innovating. They are very good in their genre but not boundary pushing (like on the wii)
5) HDD’s are quite expensive if you don’t go for the elite outright
6) It keeps me from studying at times
7) And now I’m out of real bad things. I could add RROD but that’s not really a problem to me. Neither is lack of wifi, blu-ray or free online.
“well I’m trying to eat my dinner before going to work, but yeah dude I got oblivion on pc first, but no I don’t care if you have horse armor or no”
Or the Thieves Den, or Mehune’s Razor, or Battlethorn Castle. My, there is a lot of useful downloads the PS3 version is missing out on isn’t there?
Anyone paying attention to the Twitter updates? I wish I could respond to these…
sdfvictory: Microsoft forced to acknowledge E74 epidemic with extended warranties and refunds; it truly is the next RROD
Does anyone know anyone who actually got this E74 error? No one I know even knows what it is. I don’t play online, but my brother does constantly and no one on XBL seems to be aware of it except a small few. And is SDF faulting them for extending the warranty? I doubt Nintendo or Sony would do that.
YLOD is still not brought to attention as it should. I hear ps3′s dying left and right on almost every forum I visit. I only know 1 person with a ps3 and it didn’t die so my situation isn’t really representative. However the 0.5% of most ps3 fanboys is equally unrealistic. The way I see it about 10% of ps3′s have died already.
Well to be honest, oblivion kinda sucked. I mean, the end battle was a joke, the story sucked, the dialog was recorded without feeling or talent, the magic “system” was weak, battles get boring, the landscape all looks the same…I guess if you like picking flowers and riding around on horses have fun with that
@kanerilis
Welcome to western RPGs, where there is no dudes that look like chicks, no predetermined characters, and not the same old cliches that JRPGS are becoming. Sorry to say, but FF13 is probably will be a let down, Square probably won’t change much about the game besides a new skill system to freshen it up, but otherwise turn-based combat (or a small varient of it) will be the order of the day, same items, same plot twists, over blown CG that is well quite frankly not very mind blowing anymore, and dammit same whiney ass end of the world bullshit. But with all that said, I will still give it a shot.
@tendonut
I’ve actually had an E74 happen to me about a year ago. But given that I’ve owned four xboxes, three of which are still working, and that no-one else I know has had the problem, I think I was damned unlucky.
@Kanerilis
And yet you listed Oblivion as one of the games that makes the PS3 worth its bloated ass price. Point still being that Sony is seriously dropping the ball on the multiplatform releases.
@InfaredChimera
Well to be fair FF12 focused more on a political/war story than an end of the world type story. And even though the main characters are often whiny douches there are still some cool side characters. Captain Basch was pretty badass.
I named every game I had on ps3 on my shelf when I wrote it, some I traded in, Oblivion is crud compared to morrowind, if you want a review and a pro con of any game I own by all means I will tell you the good and the bad but I seriously wasted too much time lvling in that game just to get to the end and run past the boss to get to a cut scene ending, and then you come on here telling me I shoulda spent 15+ dollars for 3 “areas” and some horse armor and slaves on your crapbox and that woulda made it better? well damn. You are one cunning person.
@Kanerilis
Well it just comes down to the fact that you dislike or have a disinterest in content. You know like in the 360 versions of Oblivion, Fallout 3, and GTA4. Content, you know the stuff that makes games games? But even though I suspect this may just be sour grapes on your behalf I have no evidence and suspect that maybe you just really don’t care about content. Then I do wonder if you would pay $15 for one extra pixel on the ass of one of those forgettable soldiers in Killzone 2. As you seem to only have an obvious preference to style over substance.
this site used to be pretty funny, but the vaneer has worn off and the truth has come through, lame douchebags recycling the same narrow minded views as they post photoshopped images and fanboy speculation as “source”
All 3 consoles are in it for the long haul, the installation base for all 3 consoles is too large for a company to stop production on any level, and each console has its own demographic, Wii for all ages and family fun, Xbox360 for teenagers to pensioners and the PS3 for Final Fantasy/MGS fans and technology whores.
flame this all you want, i couldn’t give 2 sh8ts, im turning my back on this site with no intention of looking back
im out
I care about content, just not content on oblivion. Like I said it’s not a terrible game it’s just doesn’t have flair I guess.
@erik
Maybe its just me, but JRPGs are just becoming “old”. While I don’t mind grinding, it just seems that nothing fresh is coming out of japan when it comes to RPGs. I loved it when Square was taking chances back in the PS1 days (einhander, Tobal) but it seems after FF7 all they do is milk the fuck out of Final Fantasy name. I remember when that name actually meant something, but now its just used to sell a game instead of being something interesting (example; Final Fantasy Chronicles: My Life as a Turd).
JRPG’s have never appealed to me. I have played the odd good one like golden sun, but all in all they all boiled down to faggots trying to save the world with some ancient crystal artefact.
You know it’s sort of sad that SDF is continuing with that fake David Jaffe twitter page.
Has anyone tried warhammer online? I have the 10 day trial and I need some input on endgame
It’s theoretically better than WoW but it’s less refined. The content isn’t on par and the bug and balance have to be patched out still.
Bit like age of conan
I like the RvR a lot, and the fact that xp is given from pvp is cool too
To respond to some SDF idiocy via their twatter page:
“MS owns the office; Sony owns the living room; and Wii owns the closet”
So I mean in that in context of movies? Because hands down the 360 cannot hold a candle to the PS3 as far as a movie player. The PSN’s selection of movies is superior to the movie selection on live. And the 360 can’t play blu-ray movies. As far as movies go all the 360 has is Netflix. Though that is useful for catching up on episodes of Heroes, as I am generally working when it is on. But ultimately movies are the territory of the PS3.
But if we are talking games… Well. Yeah sorry PS3. Maybe InFamous will be enough to have the PS3 owners actually turn their systems on for a few days.
This is stupid. By the same accord I could say: Erik holds the bias; Marnick owns the truth; and Infrared owns the garbage….
This sony bullfeces are as much a victory as my last sentence is a victory over erik and infrared …
Another stupid thing: sony claims the joker content for batman is exclusive to the ps3. Turns out they were flat out lying with their advertisements.
I just saw another story confirming it’s exclusivity to ps3, but who knows. It is crazy how things are getting with rumors and whatnot. I could go randomly type something somewhere and it would spread like wildfire.
Who cares about the Joker as a playable character when Military Madness is being remade for PS3 and 360
For people to care about the remake of Military Madness they would have to aware of the initial “make”. Which I’m pretty sure that not many people have.
@erik
Yeah I agree with you since the original was on the TG16 and then did come back again in 1999 or 2000 as Nectaris: Military Madness for the PS1, but its still great to see that its coming back for another go around.
SWEET, we get a Marvel vs capcom 2 demo on tharsday!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….. all the people that glitched there stats in Gears 2 are going to have there gamerscores erased to zero. While this might not mean anything it is a step in the right direction about cheaters/glitchers in MP games.
Now if they could do something about people using “modded” controllers it would be great!
WTH are modded controllers?
yeah I know a couple people at work that have that rapid fire crap on their controllers, seriously gay. I don’t know if ps3 controllers can do that, but I wouldn’t doubt it.
@marnick
There (for example) have been cracked opened and have something added to them internally (I don’t know what) so that they can have “rapid fire or reloading”. I have seen a many of times on COD4 and WaW someone using a semiautomatic rifle or pistol and emptying a clip before the animations or sound can catch up.
I got a quick finger, but you can definitly tell when someone is using one.
Ye I saw some videos. Basically they are shortcircuiting the trigger line, something that’s normally capped to one puls per shot with an extra IC.
Totally lame and should be banned on sight.
@marnick
I give alot of shit to someone thats using a modded controller since it takes learning the game out of the equation.
But I wonder if it is considered “cheating” on XBL, since there is almost no way it can be monitered, unless they are caught and suspended at that moment. Otherwise I think we just have to deal with it, or the devlopers of the game can some how program a “jamming” function into the game (ie, the torture scene in MGS1, Revolver Ocelot would tell you that he knew if you where using a controller with a turbo switch, and if you used it, game over).
Also I’m going out on a limb, Brutal Legend is going to be game of the year (in my book) for a few reasons
1. Tim Schaffer IS the shit
2. Heavy Metal inspired
3. Ronney James Dio, Halford, and Lemmy are lending there vocal talents to it.
After playing Resident Evil 5 I can announce that the Resident Evil series is dead.
It isn’t a bad action game by any stretch of the word. But gone is the game’s atmosphere. Gone is the sense of exploration as you are forced through mostly linear levels. And the zombies have been replaced by a zombie-lite enemy who uses cover, tactics and weapons such as flashbangs. It isn’t a bad game if you can ignore that it is supposed to be a Resident Evil game and can then suppress any expectations you may have had.
@InfraredChimera:
Ocelot lied. I used a turbo controller during that and I got through.
erik, I’m reading your posts again and I can’t stop lying.
You have got to be the only person biased this much who can still construct a proper sentence.
Not that it redeems you, you still seem to have an Ad Hominem every 5 words.
Aaaahahah oh god, the same bloody post I point out you can type properly is the one where I put lying instead of laughing.
Huurrrr durrr
And in animekid3515′s first post we see a text book example of a Freudian Slip. Congratulations on that. Now move along. With any luck animekid3516 might not be as much a twit.
Keep ‘em coming Erik.
Ad Hominems are always good trolling techniques.
You want an ad hominem? Okay. You are a PS3 fan. There, that was the absolute meanest thing I can possibly say.
Right, I guess I’m a PS3 fan because I’m waiting until the next Australian price drop (Read: 2 Years from now) or Star Ocean 4 with Star Ocean 2 and 3′s PA system before I get one, I guess I’m a fanboy for buying an Xbox360 because it has more games I want to play, and more friends who play the system Online.
I think you need to learn that people with an unbiased opinion are not always Sony drones that down-rate games on Metacritic that aren’t even out yet.
But whatever, you own a PS3 apparently, I bet you haven’t even played Demon’s Souls yet.
Also, to Xbox360FTW.
The Penny Arcade Guys must know you.
http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090427.jpg
@animekid
Don’t even go down that road (I have) and no matter how right you are on the subject, you won’t get anywhere at all.
So be prepared for the ass raping that marnick and erik are going to try to deliver, because if you even like a few game son the PS3, your a sony fanboy and therefore your opinion on gamees are all wrong.
Funny thing is, the poster in the pennyarcade topic had a point, however it was lost in his fanboying mumbojumbo. A more proper way to put it was:
Killzone 2 might have good graphics, allthough they fall short of crysis, and don’t have the atmosphere of either gears or halo. Gameplaywise it is just your next run-of-the-mill shooter, nothing special. His comments about the ps3 were just silly. I don’t own a ps3 and I don’t claim to own one.
However, people who only own a ps3 miss out on 90% of the good stuff (consolewise). While someone with both a wii and a 360 has over 95% of the goodstuff (counting non-exclusives with exclusive content).
@marnick
Actually the strip makes fun of people like you, erik, and karneilis. In the strip it makes fun of people that have such a resentment to a console or game that they either haven’t played/own and can’t make a rational opinion about it without being a fanboy.
“However, people who only own a ps3 miss out on 90% of the good stuff (consolewise). While someone with both a wii and a 360 has over 95% of the goodstuff (counting non-exclusives with exclusive content).”
You gotta be fucking kidding me, I own a Wii and quite frankly I’m not missing much with it. Sure it has its good games, but I can honestly tell you I own my PS3 (10) games than the Wii (4). Thats definitly saying a bit more imo. Also WTF, I can say that you are 33% full of shit with erik and karnelis filling the other 2/3 of the “full of shit” commentors on this shitacular site.
BTW one more thing look at this (particular the list towards the bottom) and tell me how do you pull shit out of ones ass?
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23379
@animekid3515
“I bet you haven’t even played Demon’s Souls yet.”
No in fact I have not played it. You see I really don’t have the endurance to keep up with every single obscure game out there will less of a following behind it than some shit flash games on newgrounds.
I honestly don’t really give enough of a shit to dig through the refuse pile of these basement and garage game “companies” even if there may be a diamond under the miles of shit.
No go away and make room for animekid3516.
@InfaredChimera
Dear sweet holy crap, you own TEN games for the PS3? I can’t even name that many games for the system that I could tolerate let alone go out and buy. Out of the 5 games I own for the PS3 I totally despise 1 of them and the other 2 I wish I had bought for the 360. But to have 5 more games and actually spend money on them, I can’t even fathom it.
@erik
Yes ten games I own for the PS3, but is it really that hard to imagine such a thing? Some of them are multiplatform releases but mostley exclusives. But if you wanna get technical then I actually own (including downloads) 16 ps3 games and 40 360 games and still just 4 wii games.
@Erik:
Oh please, the game’s only obscure because it hasn’t been released in the West yet.
If you had cared to go to a decent website instead of trolling here you’d have heard of it by now.
Miles of shit?
This isn’t the Wii we’re talking about, the Wii is the console with good games under a pile of shit.
The PS3 is the console with a handful of excellent games under a huge pile of “Meh” “Been there done that” and “Didn’t I play this on the PS2 but with slightly worse graphics?”
With, of course, a cherry made of the handful of actually shit games on top.
Oh, and might I add.
Demon’s Souls was made by From Software.
Who also made the Armored Core games, Tenchu: Wrath Of Heaven.
And the recent 360 exclusive Ninja Blade, which, I think NEEDS MORE QTE’s.
I think you are all fag bags, If I was interested in more than 3 games for xbox I would buy one. Erik, you are a twit, know-nothing, probably from a small town, where having your dreams come true and getting your holes violated is one and the same. Demon soul looks great, hell, every ps3 game looks great. Ad praesens ova cras pullis sunt meliora! Some games don’t turn out great. OH MY GOD START THE ANGRY MOB, ERIC GET THE 8 COLORED DILDO OUT OF YOUR ASS AND START GIVING GAMES A CHANCE BEFORE YOU HATE THEM. I am a fanboy for the simple fact I have played 360 and I see it for what it is, a turbo wii, The online would only be acceptable if it was free, I could drown in the low budget kids games and gears clones and lego games. I bet your butthole is the shape of a 360 controller!
Infrared: make that 25% of shit for me. You clearly forgot yourself. If you say you got 10 (good) games for the ps3 then you’re trolling. There’s no way anyone would buy 6 games for the ps3, let alone ten.
Kanerillis: so now the 360 is a turbo wii? That would mean the ps3 is a turbo dreamcast (turbo way to oblivion too). I am a fanboy for the simple fact that I played a ps3 and I see it for what it is, an overpriced failure, simple as that.
@marnick
Of course I didn’t forget myself, I don’t make up some random percentage and call it fact. For shits sake you should be on Fox News, they always need somebody to make shit up (might as well be you).
Also I fail to see in how having 10 PS3 games is trolling. If thats the case then I should be a ogre or something when it comes to the 360 since I got around 20 games for that. For fucks sake man why do you even try? To say that someone who LIKES Videogames (like I do) and then say “hey this game is good on this console and that one is good on the other” is a fucking troll?
Actually your are in the pure definintion of troll, makes shit up to piss of others, hell you don’t even have any way to back up your arguments, let alone come up with a compelling one other than “the ps3 is shit” comments. Hell I can have a better argument with whats wrong with the PS3, 360, and Wii in one sentence.
Well anyways time to go back to the Red Wings vs Ducks game its in 3OT.
@InfaredChimera
“but is it really that hard to imagine such a thing?”
No it isn’t hard to imagine such a thing. It is impossible to imagine such a thing. I don’t know if I could name five games that I would want for the PS3, and I OWN five games.
@animekid3515, still waiting on 3516
“This isn’t the Wii we’re talking about, the Wii is the console with good games under a pile of shit.”
I’m talking about these little basement company game companies that might one in ten thousand make some possibly good game that manages to obtain some sort of cult following of about 100 people.
“Who also made the Armored Core games, Tenchu: Wrath Of Heaven.
And the recent 360 exclusive Ninja Blade, which, I think NEEDS MORE QTE’s.”
Armored Core and Tenchu? Okay, now I am staying far far FAR away from that game.
@Corn-Holeis
Right then. By saying:
“OH MY GOD START THE ANGRY MOB, ERIC GET THE 8 COLORED DILDO OUT OF YOUR ASS AND START GIVING GAMES A CHANCE BEFORE YOU HATE THEM.”
You give up your right to say:
“. I am a fanboy for the simple fact I have played 360 and I see it for what it is, a turbo wii”
Really now? So I have to give PS3 games a chance but you are allowed to dump on the 360 all you want? Um, no? And also: Fuck yourself. Seriously go fuck yourself. There is no way you can tell me that I have to give jack shit a chance on the most overpriced and shallow system on the market when you don’t do the same with 360 games. You are a joke and your opinions mean jack, fucking, and shit.
“he online would only be acceptable if it was free”
And maybe the PS3′s online would be acceptable if it had a subscription. But instead it is a cheap pile of shit like those free MMOs from some 3rd world country.
“Armored Core and Tenchu? Okay, now I am staying far far FAR away from that game.”
What’s the matter, too hard for you?
There there now, don’t worry, you’re not the only person to not like Armored Core purely because it’s too hard, every bad review of AA: For Answer heavily implied that it was just too hard as well.
Wrath Of Heaven and Tenchu 2 were the good Tenchu games, just because you’ve played one of the shitty Tenchu’s doesn’t mean you can review the entire series.
I’m still waiting for Erik2 hurr durr.
@animekid3515
“What’s the matter, too hard for you?”
That depends. Is boredom a part of the challenge? If so then I’ll stick with the challenge of watching paint dry.
“I’m still waiting for Erik2 hurr durr.”
Wouldn’t there have to be an Erik1 first? Really I’ve followed the strange habit some people have on the internet of following up whatever handle I want to use with a random series of numbers.
Yes you and SepirothCoolGuy22343564 may now shake your fist in anger at me.
@Kanerilis:
“every ps3 game looks great”
You know, if you’re going to be biased, you could at least TRY not to be so obvious.
“Is boredom a part of the challenge?”
Durr.
Hurr Durr.
Oh sorry, I should probably try to answer a stupid question with less stupidity than the question itself.
No, Armored Core is not boring once you start to upgrade the Mechs with borderline Weapons of Mass Destruction, Tenchu is not boring when a bald Merchant is screaming out in pain at you reaching in and pulling out his heart with your bare hands.
HOWEVER if stealth games aren’t your thing, then by all means say you don’t like Tenchu, but maybe try to not look like a Douche by accepting that some people do.
“SepirothCoolGuy22343564″
Don’t get me started on Final Fantasy 7′s current core demographic, the kind of person who has never even finished the first game but creams himself over shithouse Movie Sequels that turns cloud into an Emo faggot and an incredibly average Television series about Zack and Cloud, and want an arbitrary remake.
I’ve played both Tenchu and Armored Core. They are both boring. My personal experience trumps whatever you are trying to force me to have.
@animekid
Don’t ask him (or marnick) what they think of Killzone 2 unless you wanna be humored.
Otherwise erik will talk shit about a game even though he may not know anything about it or even has played the game in question. Also once you have made a good point he will also revert to using analogies as a self defense mechanism as well instead of rational intelligent debate.
@erik I was just making stuff up to say, a turbo wii would probably be better than a 360. Every game on ps3 looks great, yeah I said it. They all do. Name one that doesn’t. My opinion doesn’t matter, but yours do? Okay buddy. Why would I have to give 5 good games a chance? Why would I buy any multiplatform game that has multiplayer on 360 just to pay 50 a year to play it? I have a car, insurance, house payment, phone bills, and shit to pay for so why not spend 100 extra dollars to get the hands down BEST console this generation? I am content not playing the 5 games that are worth a damn and only on xbox. Just like you are content saying you have a ps3 WHICH YOU DONT, you probably have a 360 with an HD player attach and like 50 gay porns IN HD, oh oh man. You are like a gay version of richard simmons dog, all bark, no bite, just suck
The funny thing is that what Karnerilis, erik, and marnick all consider the best console of this generation is completly subjective. For shits sakes you guys are fighting what plastic box is better than the other, go out, get laid, and get a fucking life.
Or instead of utterly wasting that $100 on a piece of shit that has replaced games with graphics demos you can get a better and cheaper system with two years of superior online.
Also why would you buy a multiplatform game for the 360? You mean other than the fact that they usually have more game content than their PS3 counterparts? Two days until you are missing 10 levels in Fallout 3. Must suck.
Actually the game sucks, compared to 1 and 2, so suck that prick.
I have a wife and a kid, this is just a website, takes up no more than 2 minutes a day, if you want to down me get a better line
Regardless of what you think about the game, Microsoft has shown again and again that they dominate multiplatform releases, which was my point. When you get down to it the 360 just has a more robust library. Sure the PS3 has a few great AAA titles. But really I would rather have a system with a large about of A titles than one with a handful of superb AAA titles. Ergo, why I liked the PS2.
Also, I find it really amusing that you think I don’t own a PS3. Do you think that everyone who owns it is a drooling fanboy?
“I’ve played both Tenchu Z and Armored Core: Line of sight”
Fix’d for truth.
If Tenchu: Wrath Of Heaven and Armored Core: For Answer are boring to you, how the hell is it possible that you haven’t sworn off games forever because they’re all so crap to you.
@Chimera:
I really don’t care what people have to say about Killzone 2.
When it comes right down to it, it is just another good FPS which there are dozens of already, I’ve never really given 2 shits about the genre besides Valve’s games and the Painkiller games, either.
Wait, why am I trying to see why Erik finds good games boring when I know it’s just a nitpick to try and justify not buying the best PS3 game available, and the best RPG this generation so he can continue to say the PS3 has few games.
I’ll give you the most useful piece of advice.
Fuck InFamous, skip it, wait a little while to buy it, whatever.
Instead of buying that, Import the Asian release of Demon’s Souls, it has full English, International Co-Op, and PVP, and will be the deepest RPG experience you’ll get for a long time coming.
But WHO am I kidding?
Nobody wants to play good games anymore.
They just want to play the newest games the Majority think look kickass, a game they have not played yet.
And then brush off a game because not many people they know like it, because the game doesn’t fucking exist in their country yet, even when a Fan of the game, who HAS played it for 8 hours straight, and wanted to play more but the neighbor had to go to work, says it’s a great game.
Unfathomably flawless logic.
“I’ve played both Tenchu Z and Armored Core: Line of sight”
Wrong. I played the original titles of Tenchu and Armored Core. I didn’t like them, and therefore have never bothered to play any of the sequels.
“If Tenchu: Wrath Of Heaven and Armored Core: For Answer are boring to you, how the hell is it possible that you haven’t sworn off games forever because they’re all so crap to you.”
So because I don’t like those two games you think that there is no way I couldn’t like any games at all? How the hell does that make sense?
“Fuck InFamous, skip it, wait a little while to buy it, whatever.
Instead of buying that, Import the Asian release of Demon’s Souls, it has full English, International Co-Op, and PVP, and will be the deepest RPG experience you’ll get for a long time coming.”
Why in the hell would I do that? Why would I skip a game I’ve been looking forward to for months to buy some obscure bit of software that I have zero interest in? How the hell does THAT make sense?
Hey, and maybe then when the next Transformers movie comes out instead of going to see it I can go to some independent film festival in some half-condemned building and watch a movie filmed with a 15 year old video camera about an anemic man eating toast in a cafe for five hours.
ergo, you’re an idiot. 100′s of lame games don’t compare to 10 AAA games. I’m not skipping Infamous. I will wait til I can get a copy of DS, but Infamous is going to be fun, so is Mafia 2, Prototype, Cross Edge, UFC, fight night, damnation, dynasty warriors. And Erik wants to bring up a transformers movie? You are such a tool. Have you ever seen a good movie before? Plenty come from film festivals, just like good games come from independent devs, your point of view is meaning less and less if you can’t even respect work that comes from somewhere other than the megacompanies.
“ergo, you’re an idiot. 100’s of lame games don’t compare to 10 AAA games.”
And yet the success of the PS2, which dwarfs the “success” of the PS3 comes from the fact that it had hundreds of “lame games”. I’m not willing to put up with waiting for the one or two AAA games per year with the PS3 when I can get a good dozen solid A titles with the 360.
Now go back to watching your anemic queer eating toast.
@erik
Let me ask you a question, whould you play a game that got a very little attention from the media, got ok reveiews, but is generally a shit ton of fun?
Seriously a game doesn’t have to be a 9/10 game, or be innovative (always doesn’t mean “better”) to be fun as long the core dynamics of the game works and you can have fun with it is what matters most.
He would play a wii game with innovative homoerotic waggle moves
@InfaredChimera
“whould you play a game that got a very little attention from the media, got ok reveiews, but is generally a shit ton of fun?”
Probably not. Because I’m not going to know it exists, and even if I hear about it in passing it will likely not garner my attention. As I said before I’m not going to dredge the sewer of indie games to find one gem in an ocean of shit.
To be fair I also never intend to play any of the idiotic Xbox 360 community games.
But this conversation is reminding me of some people I knew in high school who berated me for buying any published band. For them anyone who has a CD out wasn’t worth listening to. And always tried to come get me to listen to “real bands” which generally was just some asinine party with some nobodies playing music for a dime bag.
“whould you play a game that got a very little attention from the media, got ok reveiews, but is generally a shit ton of fun?”
The Wii is the most innovative system on the market. Honestly it is the only true next gen system out right now. Problem being is that the system’s potential is being squelched by the moronic company that owns it.
@erik
So what your saying is that even if a game that you heard “in pssing” wouldn’t even gather a slight bit of interest from you, even if its something that you would find interesting?
I’m not going to say every indie games are cream of the crop or total shit either, generally even if the game isn’t that great it may also have something in it that is new or unique that can bring something new to gaming in general. Look at Narbacular Drop, started as an indie game, and then it got (we now know as) turned into Portal.
As far as the “community games” go, there are good games on that service, its just sucks there aren’t a way to search by highly rated or something of that nature. A few games that are good are Miner Dig Deep, Groove, and Carnivale Showtime. Those games are not only a bit of fun but truly something different in terms of gameplay (and quite bit of fun as well). And if you don’t want to spend money on them, then I suggest trying Spelunky (its free), its a 16bit style platformer (with randomly generated levels), hard game with a ton of depth to the game itself.
Also remember those “nobodies playing music” can be a metaphor for the games industry as well, everyone starts somewhere and works there way up the ladder if they stick with it and create something unique. BTW you had more in common with “For them anyone who has a CD out wasn’t worth listening to” crowd, your just the opposite.
Your idea of innovation is a joke, but no one is laughing, I am now going to blow my brains out, peace
@InfaredChimera
“So what your saying is that even if a game that you heard “in pssing” wouldn’t even gather a slight bit of interest from you, even if its something that you would find interesting?”
Yes, that is almost exactly word for word what I said.
As far as the community games go, I’m not going to play any of them. No, not even the free ones. I’m really not going to waste my time on indie/obscure bullshit.
@erik
But whats really funny is Braid is one of those “indie/obscure bullshit” games that just happened to get lucky, c’mon 2 people made a truly remarkable game that literally screams indie all over it. But yet you gave that the time of day, and others a middle finger too.
But while you cry for innovation in games, and something new exciting, you fail to look at area where there are new things going on all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I love my CODs, Forzas, and Ninja Gaidens of the world, but I always like to see where there is some new experiences that big devs/pubs don’t dare to tread.
If you have the endurance to wallow through the pit of indie games then more power to you. I’m sure there might be some gems floating in that shit. But I don’t have the energy to wade through it.
And that’s why you let other people do the hard work for you
Infrared gave you 5 examples of good indie games so if any those are the ones you could try.
No, I’m not going to bother with any of those five either. Firstly I don’t put much stock in his opinion. And secondly there is a pretty good chance I wouldn’t like one or more of those games and I wouldn’t feel like wallowing through them either.
I wallowed through alot of so-called AAA games (not the least kz1 and more recently gta4). I’m a quite heavy retro gamer because older games often have something that new games lack. I believe infrared when he says that this lacking “thing” might be in indie games.
@erik
See the thing is that you don’t know if you would like the them or not, since you automatically write them off. Basically your like a little kid, judge the game on the box art and not whats inside.
@InfaredChimera
You are right that I don’t know if I like them or not. And the best way to avoid a game that I might not like is to not play it in the first place.
@erik
“And the best way to avoid a game that I MIGHT not like is to not play it in the first place.”
See thats the thing, you don’t know. You don’t know if you would like a game untill you’ve tried it and if it sucks, so what, it didn’t hurt you and you gained some knowledge about it first hand.
I have played many of shitty games and many good ones, sometimes taken a chance on something I THOUGHT I didn’t like, and ended up liking it in the long run. A good example is with Populous, when it came out for genesis I looked at it and thought it was a stupid strategy game that I couldn’t be bothered with, untill my old man rented it on weekend, and know what happened? I ended up staying up untill four in the morning playing it and mind you I was maybe 10 years old at the time.
So there is some backstory on why I don’t shit all over a game untill I have played it, because you NEVER know untill you have played it. And yes I have enjoyed games that are complete shit and had somewhat of a fun time with them (nothing like getting hammered with friends and playing Simpsons Wrestling).

@InfaredChimera
You aren’t listening. I am saying that yes there is a near 100% chance that I would find some indie/obscure game that I would like. But there are just so many of these games, many of incredibly low quality. I am not going to subject myself to 9 shitty games to find 1 good game. It isn’t happening.
@erik
Here’s something to get you started, a website that reviews the community games
http://www.xnplay.co.uk/
I dont’ know how ofter they update it, but I heard there is a few more sites like this as well.
@InfaredChimera
Actually that site helps about zero. I really don’t put that much stock in reviews seeing as the Halo series, Killzone 2, and Uncharted received high reviews despite them sucking.
I think maybe I need to dumb down what I’m saying another notch:
I’m not going to play any indie/obscure/community games. Therefore I don’t care about your opinion or the opinion of any of the other 4 billion people on this planet in regards to any such games. This includes reviews of such games in all media up to and including newspapers, television programs, websites, magazines, radio, or plain word of mouth.
@erik
So WHY do you even play games at all. You don’t want anything new in one hand and in the other you want something new. So you bitch about how there ain’t no innovative games even though there is a way to play potentially innovative games and you call them all bullshit.
You can’t have it both ways.
@InfaredChimera
And yet I have a rather modest collection of PS2/xbox/360/PS3/PC games. I see that you are of the mind of animekid3515 in believing that if I dislike a couple of token shit games that I must not like any games at all.
Honestly, just because I’m not going to play every game that some 13 year old code geek pounded out on a three day school vacation made up in his basement doesn’t mean that I hate all games.
Yes it is possible to dislike Tenchu and Armored Core and like other games. Imagine that.
@erik
The thing is that you haven’t even attempted to play said “token shit games” and already have written them off.
See what some people do is take chances, are willing to try a game that they haven’t heard of and give it a shot, maybe they will like it or maybe they won’t, thats what DEMOES ARE FOR (holy shit something that you can download and try for free to see if you like it!!!! Must be a sign of the apocalypse).
But I already know what type of gamer you are I see them on alot of popular gaming websites, if a game doesn’t get a 9/10 or 10/10 then its shit, if a game comes out that you don’t have any interest in and gets high scores then that site has a bias for disagreeing with you. So either way you can’t be pleased either way.
Basically your too fucking cynical and expect WAY too much and in doing that you forgot why you play games in the first place, to have fun.
@InfaredChimera
“See what some people do is take chances, are willing to try a game that they haven’t heard of and give it a shot, maybe they will like it or maybe they won’t, thats what DEMOES ARE FOR (holy shit something that you can download and try for free to see if you like it!!!! Must be a sign of the apocalypse).”
I don’t recall ever stating that money was an issue. What I do recall saying is that I wasn’t even going to play the free community game you mentioned. So that being the case do you really think whether or not an indie/obscure game has a demo really makes a bit of difference?
“But I already know what type of gamer you are I see them on alot of popular gaming websites, if a game doesn’t get a 9/10 or 10/10 then its shit, if a game comes out that you don’t have any interest in and gets high scores then that site has a bias for disagreeing with you.

Many games I own have received below a 9 or 10 rating, so your point is moot.
“Basically your too fucking cynical and expect WAY too much and in doing that you forgot why you play games in the first place, to have fun.”
And I don’t consider trying these games that you suggest to be fun. Why would I do something if I knew that I was going to have such a miserable time with it?
@erik
“So that being the case do you really think whether or not an indie/obscure game has a demo really makes a bit of difference?”
Technically no it doesn’t if the game has a demo or not, but isn’t it nice that the community games do offer demos so that someone doesn’t piss there money away on something they don’t like at all.
“And I don’t consider trying these games that you suggest to be fun. Why would I do something if I knew that I was going to have such a miserable time with it?”
I’m not suggesting you play the games I cited, but using them as examples (which happen to be good games in there own right). But its boils back down to this, you haven’t played said games, therefore you don’t even have the slightest fucking clue if you will like them or not. So once again you judge with no evidence to back up your claims on why a game “sucks” without no knowledge.
So by that tell me what do you do in Miner Dig Deep, Carnivale Showtime or Groov?
“Many games I own have received below a 9 or 10 rating, so your point is moot.”
So what, your still a elitest, I was just putting it nicely.
“Technically no it doesn’t if the game has a demo or not, but isn’t it nice that the community games do offer demos so that someone doesn’t piss there money away on something they don’t like at all.”
And by not playing the game whatsoever, free/demo/etc, I am guaranteed to not piss my money away,
“I’m not suggesting you play the games I cited, but using them as examples (which happen to be good games in there own right).

So once again you judge with no evidence to back up your claims on why a game “sucks” without no knowledge.”
I am fairly confident that I wouldn’t like them. Don’t pretend as if you know what I would or wouldn’t like. And beyond that I am fairly comfortable with never knowing if I would like them or not.
“So by that tell me what do you do in Miner Dig Deep, Carnivale Showtime or Groov?”
Avoid them.
“So what, your still a elitest, I was just putting it nicely.”
If that is what it takes to avoid shitty basement games then so be it.
@erik
“And by not playing the game whatsoever, free/demo/etc, I am guaranteed to not piss my money away.”
But the free/demo/etc is FREE so you aren’t paying anything to try it, so what harm can it really do (and if saying it causes mental anguish is a PATHETIC excuse, I have played horrible games in the past and I turned out just fine.)
“I am fairly confident that I wouldn’t like them. Don’t pretend as if you know what I would or wouldn’t like. And beyond that I am fairly comfortable with never knowing if I would like them or not.”
But your only fairly confident, therefore you do have doubts. Also I never claimed I know what you would or wouldn’t like, but by all accounts we tend to like the same games in most cases, but you are not open to a new type of game (basically your so stuck on certain types of game that you ARE missing many different experiences that you could possibly enjoy).
“Avoid them.”
My daughter can come up with a better excuse than that. Try harder, humor me and anyone reading this.
“My daughter can come up with a better excuse than that. Try harder, humor me and anyone reading this.”
Okay how about this, I am NOT going to play them. I don’t care if they have free demos or are free themselves. I don’t care how good they are. And I don’t care what you or anyone else has to say about them. I don’t care if I would enjoy them or not. I’m not going to do it.
@erik
So explain to the readers of this site and I why do not want to possible play good games? Everyone who does enjoy a good game really shouldn’t care who or where it comes from aslong it is a good game, do you have a reputation to protect or something? Or are you more afraid of being potentionally wrong about something and you have a inferiority complex?
Whats even more funny is that I always thought you would more than champion indie games over the cookie cutter games that get churned out by the major publishers year over year, but instead I guess you like to get told what is new from the major pubs.
“So explain to the readers of this site and I why do not want to possible play good games? ”
Because I don’t play indie games. I don’t have a reputation that I need to protect and I’m not afraid of being wrong. I just don’t play them. I’ve wasted my time on far too many of them in the past and don’t find it a worthwhile endeavor to look for the good ones.
Mind you this doesn’t mean that I don’t have any little casual games. I like Peggle, and am not infatuated with Plants Vs. Zombies. And I’m waiting on pins and needles for the Black Mesa mod. But I’m not just going to play any random indie game I come across. The crap to quality ratio I’ve observed before I swore them off reached the fever pitch that caused me to give up on them.
@erik
While I’m not going to argue that there are more shit games than quality games in the indie scene, but to swear them off completly is more of a disservice to yourself. I don’t play every indie game that does come across (either I don’t have time for it or my PC just can’t run it) either, but there is sites out there that do go through them at either reviews them or shoots them down.
I’m not going to sit here and say, “you fucking HAVE to play indie games or your a fucking loser”, but I do strongly encourage you give them a shot again. I know that you won’t take my recommandations for any game(s) or give any weight to them at all, but the one thing I won’t do is purposfully have someone play a shit game just because I think it would be “funny”, I love playing games and the last thing I would absolutely do is recommend a shitty game to anyone.
@InfaredChimera
I really don’t think I’m going to. But really there are exceptions/I do make mistakes. One reason I’m so hesitant (See: It ain’t fucking happening) that I’m not going to pay any attention to animekid(insert numerals here)’s suggestion to play Demon Souls is the last time I rented a game that I never heard of but promised a “rich RP experience” I ended up renting Two Worlds.
If you have never played Two Worlds then you do not fully comprehend the level of suck that game entailed. I can’t in good conscious tell you to play that game. But it is the only way you can possibly begin to comprehend my point of view in this matter.
Like, the most recent Hulk game to come out was kinda crappy. But still some fun could be had if you had fifteen minutes to kill and just run around causing pointless mayhem. I’m sure I could even eek some amount of fun out of Killzone 2 in a similar manner. But Two Worlds was… horrid.
@erik
Two Worlds was a shit game, so you don’t even have to explain that too me at all. Hell we both fell into the same “promise of a rich RPG experience” and it turned out to be a fucking mess.
But speaking of the Hulk, I haven’t played the game that came out last year but have been interested in it for a while, also did you give Ultimate Destruction a shot? While where talking comic book based games, the new Wolverine game isn’t actually half bad and it really isn’t based on the movie at all, also its probably the closest game to actually nail how playing as Wolverine should be like (he slashes with his claws instead of punching with them, his healing factor actually makes pretty good sense and its a bloody ass game).
@InfaredChimera
Two Worlds was wretched from the get go. I mean Oblivion needed some more voice actors. But in comparison Oblivion’s voice work was eons beyond Two Worlds. It was like they grabbed some hobos off the street and had them toss “Thou” in between words. I played about an hour into the game before I returned it that night, despite having a five day rental.
As far as the Hulk goes. I’ve never played Ultimate Destruction, no. But the Hulk game that came out last year, well calling it a bad game isn’t totally fair. Rather a mediocre game with some fun gameplay if you want some senseless rampage. The missions are boring, collecting canisters hidden on rooftoops to buy new powers is annoying, the story is lame, and if you have half a brain it is near impossible to ever die. But regardless I would buy it for like $15-$20.
@erik
Ultimate Destruction was a freakin blast to play and as far as a comic book games go, its right behind Spiderman 2 imo. And if you are interested in it, you should be able to find it for a very decent price (since it was released on the PS2 and Xbox), but if you do end up looking for it, get it on the Xbox (if its compatible with the 360) since it loads and runs a bit smoother than its PS2 counterpart.
Also if you got any interest in Prototype, it should be noted that same team is responsible for Ultimate Destruction and if you like UD, then you will definitly see my interest in Prototype.

Also I did the same exact thing with Two Worlds, rented it and then returned it demanding either a different game or my money back. Shit I just saw at Blockbuster for $6 and instead got Raiden 3 instead.
Also if you like shmups, Raiden Fighters Aces just came out for the 360 for $20, its 3 games that never came out here and also (not to blow my own horn) as of last night I was ranked number 7 in the world in Raiden Fighters.
What exactly is wrong with halo exactly? (yes I read this complete textwall)
I really like the halo series. The singleplayer is quite enjoyable and they have quite good graphics despite the age. But the multiplayer is where the blast is. Couch co-op with 3 friends is golden but deathmatch is where it shines. I can’t count the hours of deathmatch on my dorm anymore.
It’s just something with the gameplay. It’s balanced like cs but still has the frantic gameplay of unreal. I’m talking about all three games, they each got something that defines them.
I played about an hour into the first Halo. After contending with a story that didn’t interest me, with characters I didn’t give a damn about I tortured myself for around an hour with gameplay that could be described as tedious at best. After that I never played any other Halo game and never intend to.
Erik. You’re not a gamer. You’re a moron.
Broaden your horizons before you even post again.
Oh, so you think to like any other games at all you need to like Halo? How the fuck does tht make any sense?
Or, god help us, are you a Two Worlds fan?
Sorry, but I’m gonna post again…
Stop being a spoiled little brat and just play the fucking games without lying to yourself. Jesus, you’re fucking hard to explain. You say that you hate Halo and Gears yet you swoon over the vastly overrated Bioshock. Then you say how a game needs to exactly fit your “professional” criteria yet you love games that don’t even fit into your criteria (even if that game is 99% away from your criteria). Erik, stop being the little bitch who cries for that huge ass lollipop in the nice man’s store. Just stop. I’ve seriously had it. I’ve watched your comments and I can’t believe how fucking pretentious you are.
Oh you want me to like Gears and Halo? Okay so how about this: No. I’ve tried them, I despised them. So sorry, I can’t honor your request.
@Erik
Sweet jesus. Where in my previous comments did I ever make any indication that YOU MUST LOVE HALO IF YOU PLAY GAMES!!??
I was right. You really are stupid.
@erik
Go ahead. Quote me. Where did I say that?
I also love how you completely avoided my regards to you and your extremely picky attitude.
Well that was really the only point you could be attempting to make. So if that wasn’t your point then you never had one. And I can only assume that your goal was just to waste everyone’s time.
Congratulations on that I suppose.
And yes I am damn picky and proud of it. I am not just going to accept any shit that rolls my way. So is your issue that I have some standards?
“Well that was really the only point you could be attempting to make. So if that wasn’t your point then you never had one.”
*laughs*
How about this?
You are a pretentious and picky bitch who expects too much from games.
Would that count as a point?
Eh, disregard that last comment.
I didn’t refresh this page enough so I didn’t see your comment there :/
Well, if you truly enjoy playing games then you can probably enjoy games more if you… played more games for a longer period of time…
No. Just no. I am not going to lower my standards. I am not going to punish myself by playing a game I know I hate longer. I am not going to magically like a game in the third hour after despising it for the first two. And I don’t see any reason why I would put myself through those two hours in the first place.
You say I am picky, you are right. But I prefer to call it standards.
“I am not going to lower my standards.”
You’re a weird boy. Gaming is a hobby. There is no way you can “lower your standards” by playing a fucking game. Am I lowering my standards by playing Overlord for 1.5 hours? Please clear your head.
“I am not going to magically like a game in the third hour after despising it for the first two. And I don’t see any reason why I would put myself through those two hours in the first place.”
I think that’s a lie. You said that you didn’t even play past Halo 3′s second level. Why should I believe this insane and outlandish statement that only a loony could make? Boy, you take this hobby waaaaaaaaaaaaay to seriously.
“Gaming is a hobby. There is no way you can “lower your standards” by playing a fucking game.”
Wrong. There is a lot of crap out there. If you want to play it then more power to you. I will not. Even those with hobbies can have standards. You know coin collectors are only interested in certain coins. And will generally not give a shit about the random loose change in your pockets.
“I think that’s a lie. You said that you didn’t even play past Halo 3’s second level. Why should I believe this insane and outlandish statement that only a loony could make?”
I never said I never played past Halo 3′s second level. I never played Halo 3. I did play the original and never played past it’s second level. But regardless I don’t see why stopping such a game on the second level should be considered such an impossible feat.
Lowering your standards means to do something terrible to ruin your image. Your making it sound like it’s taboo to play something that is not perfect. And I’m fully aware of crap out there. For instance, I hate Team Fortress 2 and Supreme Commander. Do you see me telling people that it is disgraceful to play those kinds of games? No.
And your “coin collector” example is stupid. You see, coin collectors are different from gamers. They collect coins. It’s really a ludicrous hobby. Gaming is different. Gamers don’t collect games and polish them everyday and display them. Gamers don’t come off as some Nazi snob who thinks that elitism and perfection matters the most.
No standards and image don’t have anything to do with one another at all. Image is dependent on how others perceive you. Standards are a more personal thing. I don’t give a fuck about what other people think of me. But even though I don’t give a shit about other people it doesn’t mean that I am going to play and like every single fucking thing out there.
I will dislike some things. I won’t try other things. Hence, standards. You likely have standards also, you just don’t know it.
Answer me this: Would you eat anything put on your plate without question? And if your answer is no does this have to do with what others think of you, or is it personal because of something being disgusting/toxic?
Here is a standard that no one can disagree with; aslong the game offers a bit of fun, then mission accomplished.
