"absolutely avoid the PS3 copy"

But the PS3 version got 8.2? 8.2 isn't something that I would avoid.

CONTEXT

Absolutely avoid the PS3 copy *if you have an Xbox 360*.

Jesus, learn to read or at least retain information.

Either way it's not enough to avoid it. Surprising you aren't praising the review for the PS3 game getting less since every one of your posts I have happened to come across the last few days has been anti-Sony. 

  1. Yes it is *if you own a 360.  It's not one is marginally better, it's one is majorly better.  The review says if you own both, get the 360, not that the PS3 version is bad or should be avoided if you only own a PS3.  Again, learn to actually read.
  2. Really?  What, you mean me not liking the SIXAXIS?  That really doesn't have anything to do with Sony, just me thinking the SIXAXIS is pretty worthless.  Or is it just me saying I would have the 360 version of FFXIII because that's somehow anti-Sony?

Are you seriousley buying the 360 version of FFXIII?

Assuming:

  1. the differences are marginal
  2. I'm getting the game

Either way, I'm waiting for reviews before I actually make a decision. 

I don't really know people find it so surprising that people actually want the 360 version.  I don't have 7.1 audio and multiple discs is a non-issue for me.  Assuming every other difference is marginal at best (which no amount of talking here will change until reviews start to pour in) it comes down to controller and console preference.

I like the 360 controller better and I just personally like the 360 better even if my PS3 didn't currently have the problem where it only allows BlueTooth devices to connect about half the time.

As for on topic, I wasn't too interested in this game, but after reading the review I think I'll actually pick it up.

IGN was always credible. Its the fanboys that say anything else.

OP: My God its the orange box all over again. I thought we were past this

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I suppose this is a sign that I should cancel my purchasing plans altogether, now that my 360 is out of warranty.


LOL. Pretty funny... can't play games on it or it will explode!

 

At $400, nearly twice as much as what I've paid for most consoles in my life, I  expected a significantly smaller failure rate, yes, and I don't plan to throw any more money towards it than I have to. Now that I have a PS3, that is where my remaining multiplatform purchases shall fall for the remainder of the gen, and with the Japanese-developed exclusives drying up on the 360, the decision is made easier still. After having my PS2 fail on me 3 years after launch last time around, I assumed Sony would be the one to avoid. Ah well. In any case, I'll know better next gen not to be so hasty in buying a system within the first year of launch.

But back to Bayonetta. I was always sitting on the fence as it is, as I wasn't blown away from the demo. I'll probably give it a rental some time.



so that story about Sony "fixing" the ps3 version was false? Hmph, looks like i'm getting to for 360.

Well this is not really a surprice after reading news a while ago that Sony defs are helping to get Bayonette to play more normal. (with a patch fix or something)


You can't do THAT much with a simple patch. I was thinking it might have been delayed for the PS3 in the west while Sony work on a port. It looks like it's not happening since these reviewers are playing the western version already. Sony could fix it at a later date but it would shaft all the early adopters.

It's dissapointing to see this game rated so much lower for laod times and slow down, i mean..wtf Sony, weren't you supposed to patch it to be on par? Ugh. I say it's still worth a buy for the PS3, you just have to be more patient, nothing wrong with the gameplay itself (besides a few slow downs) and who knows, maybe there'll be a patch by that time, and it'll be fine.

Its not just slowdown and loading problems. The graphics look piss poor in comparison.

This is getting silly......

I am starting to think that the LAZY DEVS argument just doesnt hold water any more.

It seems that unless the game is designed ground up with the PS3 in mind then its going to run better on the 360.

After 3 years this should not be the case

Im starting to think that the original argument that the Cell was good at everything so long as its not videogames may be true.

Pour shame.

How can the lazy dev argument no longer hold water, or the Cell be horrible for gaming?  Have you missed all the great exclusives for PS3 recently?  Are all the multi-plats that have recently had little to no difference in quality between 360 and PS3?  Of course, it's because of lazy developers.  Just like if there's an exclusive or even multi-plat that is bad on 360, as well.  Is that the 360's fault?  Hardly.  Lazy developer syndrome again.  Heck if you look at some of Sega's personal efforts as of late, it should be come as little surprise. 

 I just hope that the rumors of Sony helping out on this one are true, and we get a patch that improves things.  Having said that, though, I didn't really notice a problem with the demo.  Seemed to run smoothly in battle, and noticed very little load time when pausing.  Who knows, it might just be IGN making a mountain out of a mole hill.

No sale, lazy efforts=no sale

Same here.  If they don't care about selling the game to PS3 owners than I don't care about their game.




 

Wow pretty big difference in score, wasn't Sony suppose to fix it? Oh well i won't get it anyway
didn´t lik the demo at all, DMC is much better imo.
