Also... I find it funny that people are tearting Twesterm apart for basically saying "I don't like the fact it doesn't come with HD cables or the menus system, but I like a couple of the games, and dislike a couple other games."

Seems a bit fanboyish to over react this much... then again, what should I expect. Seems like you can't reasonably complain about a system or game without a few fanboys trolling you to all hell.

I'll try and see how it works.

Final Fantasy 12 kinda sucks, it's a MMORPG without the MMO, the Story is combination of Star Wars and Tactics Ogre, right down to their being characters that look exactly like Lans Tartae and Lans Hamilton... and they have the same exact place in the plot... The Pirate modifing a star wars quote atleast once "That airship enough for you, boy" also, the first place you fly to in the airship could only be Cloud City more if the Magistrate was played by Billy Dee Williams.

Also it's actually also known as "The Cloud City". Also the cutscenes were pointless, as their was nearly no graphical improvements aside from the hair... and who cares about hair?

(Ok so maybe this will go without being flamed... since noone likes FF12 really. It's still my favorite FF since 6 though. Though i haven't tried 9.)

 Maybe because the OP wasn't reasonable. It was basically a long tirade about not having $15 cables included in the box, a poorly timed hint in Uncharted Demo that doesn't indicate anything about the final game, scrolling in the PSN sucks (even though you do not have to scroll at all!) and how a 15 min. demo of Heavenly Sword was just about button mashing. And as a result, he gives the impression that the PS3 is crap based on mostly inconsequential or non-existent issues. The only issue that he mentions that is worrisome is the bit on Heavenly Sword being just a button masher. Problem is, the actual game is quite a bit deeper than that. The combat gets more interesting, the Sixaxis shooting portions were a riot, and the way the story was presented was very impressive and just downright cool. 

 His review is plain worthless. He doesn't even review a game that he's actually played through. He just talks about demos. How is that a reasonable review of a GAME system? 


He gave the packaging a negative review.  Not the system as a whole as far as the Cables went.  He never gave an end review for just the score.  The cable thing was just related to only the packaging and how he thought an HD Console should come with HD cables.  Therefore it had no emphasis on the final score... since their wasn't one.

Also he gave negative reviews to PSN to his expierence and the XMB.

A reasonable response would be "Hey their is an easier way to navigate the PSN" and not "OMG YOUR FILLED WITH HATE GO TO HELL!"

Also, as for reviewing demos... i've seen many people review demos.  See the Uncharded Demo is up thread for one place.  Just because these reviews arn't as positive you've got a problem with them.  Despite the fact he was just posting first impressions... and mentioned that he still planned on getting Uncharted.

All and all other then the rant on cables i'd say his PS3 review was pretty positive as he enjoyed a couple of the games and plans to get a few more.  While he's not happy now it seems apparent he'll be very happy with the PS3 down the line.

Most likely when he gets enough good games that = the amount of money the system costs, as that seems to be how he operates.  Which to me seems very reasonable.

 The real truth is... "First impression good" Hooray nothing but postives... well and the occasional bash from a hater.  "First impressions bad" get the hell bashed out of you for no good reason.  If his thing boiled down to "I had the PS3 for 2 hours, so far it's awesome the demos are great, nobody would be saying "Oh but you haven't put enough time in it or played it enough to know if stuff is going to get old" everyone would just be positive about everything.  You wouldn't bash him for the same reasons you are bashing him now... despite the fact that basically the same issues would exist.
