360 of course |
I presume, correctly I hope, that the point Rol is making is that this thread may have just become - to paraphrase Monty Python - very silly. We've got a PS3 exclusive up against a 360 exclusive that happens to be on PS3 and PC in addition to 360. That's just... a bit silly IMHO.
Early on the thread seemed fun but by now it just seems to have gone off the rails. We have 360 games getting multiple goes and elimination of winning PS3 games to make room for 360 games. Whether this is due to a PS3 bias, the OP not working out how the whole contest would go well enough or considering titles well enough I have no idea but at this point the whole thing seems to have broken down somewhat.
I think part of the problem is trying to have multiple rounds - that just doens't work with exclusives as of course you might find yourself with exclusives from one console going through. I think a better approach would have been to pick a couple of exclusives by genre and pitch them against each other and have a winner by genre and then maybe a final round of winners.
The bottom line is the 360 factually has less full exclusives than PS3 at the moment and arguably less exclusives with a major fanbase (i.e. I mean that while it has Halo and Gears with huge fanbases it doesn't have as many God of War's or Ratchet and Clanks with more mid level fan bases) and that seems to have set up an immediate imbalance from the very start.
Anyway - I'll go out noting I slightly prefer Mass Effect 2 to MGS4 irrespective of platform although I find MGS4 to be overall the more polished title (which by number 4 in a big franchise you'd hope would be the case) although both suffer from a common complaint in my view - the actually gameplay always pales next to the promise of the cutscenes and the advertising for the games.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
