The gunfights mostly. I mean this cover fad that is in games now is all well and good when implemented well. But I spent most of the game shooting at Spanish voices rather than at actual people. When there was no more yelling I knew I could get on.

I mean the story was great and everything. And I wanted to see more and more of it. But I soon became keenly aware that I found that I was punishing myself with these annoying gun fights to get to more story. The gameplay itself was a hurdle rather than an interest. As where the story was like an ambrosia cored tootsie pop covered in a ball of shit of the gameplay.

As far as Demons Soul’s. I don’t know anything about it, don’t want to know.

From what I’ve heard from friends who bought Demon Souls was it suffered from old-school SNES style RPG tactics…namely. one specific enemy can cast 4 instant kill spells in a row knocking out your entire team before you have a turn. That kind of crap, though applied to a totally different style of game.

I am not too interested in Demon Souls..apparently the game came be rather unforgiving…a game that makes you die constantly by pure chance is a cheap way of extending game time. Not interested. As for Uncharted, what didn’t you like about the first one? I was hooked on it until I actually beat it. I am not a big fan of 3rd person shooters with a gamepad, but it managed pretty well I’d say.

Okay so now that THAT is out of the way, let me get back to what I was stating in previous threads.

I am a PS3 owner, but I prefer the 360. Some among you tried to say that this is impossible, thus I probably don’t own a PS3. Well sorry you are wrong.

Secondly, despite being a PS3 owner I have no desire whatsoever to play Uncharted 2 or even know anything about Demon’s Souls. Many seemed to think that this was merely a case of “sour grapes” due to not having a PS3 so pretending I wouldn’t like them in response. This again has been proven false.

So to you SDF writers and to you shoeless Patriot hat wearing fanboys, what do you say to someone who has what you consider so great and says “meh”?

I was wrong, you own one. What is awesome was your note you added with it.

@tendonut

Awesome? Is that all you have to say is awesome? What about you being completely wrong? And what do you say about a 360 fan who owns a PS3? After all the idiotic haranguing you put me through you need to say more than just “awesome”.

@Giban
Are you referring to like new series of games? Because most of those games have multiple sequels, either already out or in the works;

God of War 1, 2, 3
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus 1, 2
Killzone 1, 2
Tourist Trophy
Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Uncharted 1, 2
Little Big Planet

I’m sure there is more (MGS?). Microsoft also has had quite a few highly rated new series start on it

Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, Reach (Wars doesn’t count, not even from Bungie)
Gears of War 1, 2
Forza 1, 2, 3
Mass Effect
Fable 1, 2
PGR 1, 2, 3
Jade Empire
Full Spectrum Warrior
Ninja Gaiden

This is just off the top of my head. Both systems have had quite a few exclusive IPs.
