Darc Requiem on 20 August 2007
| rocketpig said: I just bought a PS3 and frankly, I'm unimpressed. The Heavenly Sword demo was terribly disappointing and I was even more disappointed once I popped in God of War to do a quick head-to-head on the game. GoW is vastly superior and IMO, loads more fun. Lair is also kinda "meh". It has some strong points but there are a few things that take away from the experience (I'm not sold on the SixAxis controls for the game... hopefully there's an option to use standard controls in the full version of the game). The PS3 does upscale PS2 games wonderfully (God of War looked brilliant on my TV) and the Blu-Ray player is nice. But if you're looking forward to games, the only game left this year that really has me excited is Uncharted whereas the 360 has BioShock, Halo 3, and Mass Effect coming this year along with some JRPGs such as Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata. In short, if you only buy one, I'd go for a 360. The PS3 probably isn't going to excite me until late 2008 and the 360 already has a boatload of games worth playing RIGHT NOW. |
I share the same sentiments Rocketpig. After playing a few exclusives (FFX,MGS2, DMC, etc.) on my brother PS2 back in 2001, I went out and got my own PS2. After watching my friend play KOTOR in his X-box, I went out and got an X-box. My brother has had a PS3 since last December and I have played it. It isn't bad, but I have no desire to get one of my own either. The only thing I differ on is the HS demo. The only thing I didn't like about it was how brief it was. Of course my PS2 crapped out before GoW was released so I don't have it to compare HS to.
