Live, Achievements, Kinect, Halo, Fable, Avatars.

I don't even care about the achievements, Kinect, Halo, or avatars... but they're still pretty tightly woven into the Xbox brand, as a whole.

That is all :P


Full of Win.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

That's all in order what comes to mind when thinking about Xbox brand.

But is this a serious thread? "Racist/Homophobic preteen boys"? "Poorly hardware"? "Failure in Japan"? Of all the good things you could come up with, you come up with the most negative ones.


I did come up with good ones - better Multiplat games, good controller for some games, etc.  Unfortunately, most of my experience with Xbox has been negative.  I liked when they were having exclusive jRPGs in 2008-2009, and I bought one for that.  When that stopped, I felt a little cheated - even though MS has it's reasons for dropping the jRPGs (which confirms alot of my thoughts about the Xbox userbase).

The fact remains, no matter how good the Xbox is for shooters and online gaming - I could care less about those two things.  I understand others really like those two things (majority of people in my country do).  I'm speaking for myself.

 


Ouch. You're generalizing a lot when you talk about Xbox userbase. It's almost the same as the PS3 userbase, IF, you rule out the japanese userbase. We all know Japan don't dig Xbox. Though the system find its niche around there, and that's one of the reasons why it still gets support. And all those great shmups that i don't mind at all! (Dodonpachi Ressurection is one of them and it will be reelased next month in europe)

Also, even if they've stopped, Lost Odyssey is still the best close thing to a good Final Fantasy we have this gen. How does a couple of NiS games can come close to this? :p

But to the point. yeah, i think that's just bad generalizing. But feel free to think whatever you want.


That and Tales of Vesperia English is why I replaced my broken Elite for a slim.  Also for the arcade stuff. 

 

Unfortunately, the good jRPGs on PS3 are still held in Japan only.  Now that Graces and Ni No Kuni are coming out, that will finally be making the jRPG situation better for the PS3, exclusive wise.

But seriously, much as the "america, Fuck Yeah" link was meant to be a joke, it's actually kinda true (at least when it comes to gaming.) Microsoft basically says "Okay, we want to have america", and that's that. They are losing to both Sony and Nintendo in Europe, and have virtually no presence in Japan at all, but they're in a close second in America and will likely come out on top this gen.

Plus all their best games are, brace yourself, Gritty shooters, Racing games, and western RPG's. they're an american company, through and through.

Not that it's a bad thing, but yeah, I'll enjoy my PS3 AND 360, thanks.

Final Fantasy XIII :p



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Then the other thread should be locked too?

the other thread was not formed out of retaliation...

it wasn't even formed to bash sony, when forming topics in general its entirely up to the people who visit the threads to respond in whatever way they choose...

the ironic thing is that all i've ever heard on coming to this site is how bad sony fans are in comparison to the others and yet i see evidence everyday that thats bullshit


Clearly you have bias which is blinding you.

 

Anyway, I think of RROD (even though it's a non issue anymore) epic online, epic games, and amazing controllers.
