I got a better thread title: PS3 owners... why are you so intent on trying to make others switch to Sony?


I know. It's like some devout cult. Although cultists tend to be less condescending, and smoother in their approach.


Why can't you just play Uncharted and like it? What is wrong with you?

"What is wrong with you?" - Condescending - Cult version "What is wrong with you?"

"Why can't you just play Uncharted and like it?" - Not very smooth. Cult version - "Why can't you just go to our church/love our god?"

Seems to fit both criteria pretty succinctly.

Why can't you accept some people feel differently to you?

I bought a PSX at launch (Q4 1995 - downunder here) - for $AUD695. I bought a PS2, I have a PsP (and an impressive library) - and have probably spent over $200 on Sony games (new & PSN - no 2ndHand) in the last 6 months alone. I'm no hater of Sony - but they're not my favourite. I've been gaming for 30+ years - own thousands of titles, across multiple consoles - spanning those 30 years - and never at any stage in those years, have I collectively seen a group of gamers act so downright condescendingly and patronisingly towards anyone who doesn't share their preference as I have seen Sony Diehard Fans - and that's a select group - separate from regular Sony Fans - but who tend to be legion on the internet, blurring the distinction between the two.

Um isn't the above a parody - in reference to the cult smark?

OT

I was an early PS3 adopter and bought my PS3 for the JRPG... the JRPG that never came... FF kept getting delayed, KS was missing in action, Namco and SE was making game exclusively for the 360... seriously it was like 3 years of nothing except Valkyria Chronicles while the 360 got JRPG after JRPG and eventually I just gave up on them ever coming to the PS3 and got a 360 instead.

I played through LO, ToV, Last Remnant, Inf Undiscovery, Eternal Sonata, Magna Carta 2, Star Ocean... It was my main system while my PS3 collected dust... then one day MS hit a switch and suddenly no more JRPG, it didn't slowed to a trickle - it stop stone cold.

Not long after that, the PS3 picked up the slack. FFXIII seem to act as a floodgate and FINALLY all the niche and not so niche stuff started head over. Namco fell in line with Atlus and NISA... and I now the prodigal child is back into the fold.

I see no reason so far to adopt next gen console, primarily because all the JRPG are still coming to the PS3... Xillia 1-2, Disgaea Dimension, The Guided Fate Paradox, Atelier series, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles.

So this time I'll wait and see where the JRPG is heading before I commit, because backing the obvious favoured PS3 from the get go was a mistake, I should havebought a 360 and enjoyed the initial rush of JRPG before switch to the PS3 mid gen.
