| Luney Tune said: If you don't care about Blu-ray movies, then get a 360. It's library of fighting games and JRPG's is *way* better than what the PS3 offers. In fact when it comes to JRPG's the PS3 is (currently) one of the worst consoles I've ever owned. The PS3 does have the superior version of FF13, but that's pretty much all it has. The rest of it's JRPG library is mostly made up of ultra low budget niche titles. If you're looking for a traditional JRPG with decent production values that is exclusive to the PS3, then you can choose from exactly zero titles (!). And that is after nearly four years on the market ! And all I see on the horizon is yet more low budget niche titles. The 360 isn't all that great either for JRPG's but it does have a small handful of decent quality titles, which is a hell of alot more than what the PS3 currently offers. The 360 fighting game library is again much better than the PS3 library. The 360 has exclusives like Dead Or Alive 4 and Samurai Shodown Sen, a *much* better version of Virtua Fighter 5 (online play, better graphics, "C" revision with better character balance) and the (slightly) superior version of most of the multi platform titles. The 360 also come with a hardware video upscaler that can significantly reduce input lag on many 1080p displays (crucial for fighing games). The 360 game pad is crap, but that's true for the PS3 pad as well. No true fan of fighting games would be happy with either pad. That's why there's plenty of third party fighting gamepads and arcade sticks available for both systems. You can read more about the PS3 1080p lag problem here: The New Definitive HDTV Lag FAQ and here: Games & input lag. And Demon's Souls is pretty much the antithesis of a JRPG. It's a dark lonely depressing WRPG with frustrating trial and error gameplay that involves memorizing billions of cheap instant death traps. It's not all that difficult (most of the bosses can be killed from a safe spot using ranged attacks), just cheap and depressing. I hated it. |
I respect your opinion but disagree with mostly everything you just said, especially the Demon's Souls part. I would actually like it if you elaborated more on it, especially on which "bosses exactly can be killed from a safe spot using ranged attacks"? I can think of a couple, but yea.....
