Magan Carta 2 was a fun game to play, but the plot wasn't really that epic, and the game pverall was far too easy. I liked the character, the giant tiger? guy who lives 600 years, and the mare. There definatly was a good amount of character development in this game. I haven't beated Infinite Undiscovery, but to me the plot seems a lot better done, and it's enjoyably difficult. If it weren't for the bugs and poor localization...

As for the rest, DanneSandin if you're still reading,UltimateUnknown is right about everything except for online play. PSN is fine, and if you're like me and want to play just a bit every now and then, PSN is a better alternative over XBL because it's affordable (XBL just makes no sense if you only play a few hours online a month because you're literally paying close to $1 an hour).

PS3 has a landslide victory in terms of Action Adventure games, but 360 has a strong victory in terms of WRPG's. JRPG's only give 360 a small edge because PS3 is getting some pretty cool JRPG exclusives still, where 360 is dead in Japan.

This may be straying a bit off topic but when the heck am I ever gonna talk about this, plus its somewhat relevant lol. Yea I completed Magna Carta 2, I would agree that the game is not very difficulty, the last boss was a friggin joke lol, OP Juto and Argo (the dragon guy) quite literally just gangraped him. But to be honest I think the difficulty is fine, maybe unlocking a new difficulty ater you beat the game would have been nice. I would hate to play another Star Ocean the last hope, the last boss was so friggin difficult that I quite literally just gave up, and I never ever give up once I have gotten that far into a game but for Star Ocean I just had to. Not to mention each of the game's boss took like 30-45 minutes to beat which is ridiculous, it had a good story at least at the beginning but ruined it with insane grinding and difficulty (I was playing on normal, not even hard. I fear to wonder whats in the hardest difficulty that you unlock after you beat the game).

I started Infinite Undiscovery but just stopped playing after a while as there was nothing particularly interesting about the story or gameplay for me, hence I say MG2 is better, it had a pretty decent story that kept me second guessing and gave a very nice closure. The gameplay could be just a bit better, but it was fun nonetheless and all the characters were VERY well developed, I really felt as if I got to know each of the characters in depth and their motivations for fighting by the end of the game, which very few games do properly.

I also quite literally just got an actual SOLID copy of Tales of Vesperia from one of my friends 2 hours ago. I know you can digitally get it, but I still can't believe what I am holding, its an actual disc copy. This game goes upwards of £60 ($100) on ebay for the disc even though the game is 4 years old and my friend just had it lying around, so he lent it to me as I have been really looking forward to playing it.  I thought Magna Carta 2 was hard to find after all I went through to get an actual copy of the game, but TOV is insane. So far have played a bit of it, story seems pretty solid as expected from a Tales game and the gameplay seems alright. So I'll keep on playing and see how I find it.

I liked how Juto had those hidden powers and that guy was a clone of him. The story did pick up later, and it was a good game, deserved better scores, but overall it was just plain too easy, and the amount of side quests is minimal. Plus there isn't a super hard hidden boss, and the atmosphere and story was just not up to the level of detail as Lost Odyssey or Inifnite Undiscovery. Graphics weren't special either.

I also haven't beaten Star Ocean, I'm behind on my JRPG's. I bought a lot 3 years ago, played a few hours of each, and put them down. Been trying to finish Tales of Vesperia for 2 years now, I'm just too busy with school sometimes and I don't want to play 2 hours a week, and then 2 hours the next week. JRPG's need solid dedication to appreciate them because over the course of months, you forget the story a bit.

Infinite Undiscovery gets better as you play. MC2 does have excellent character development, that's it's strong suite. Thank god the guys who localized it localized all the dialog and didn't make us read because that would have ruined the game.

Tales of Vesperia is rare? I live in Toronto, Canada a freaken big city, it's not hard to find games like that here. I know a store only a few blocks away which holds multiple copies, cheaper then what you're paying. The Limited Edition is selling for $100 there new.

BTW Have you played Enchanted Arms? I felt the atmosphere of this game was a lot like MC2.

Hehe yeah, I'm still lurking about :) I have been looking in to PC's, and it'll cost me something around $1000...

If you're considering buying a $1,000 PC, I'd say get both a 4GB 360 and a PS3. Then you can play anything you like, and a PS360 cost $380 + tax, you can save that $600 for a Wii U, or a PC when you get bored of your PS360 (by then the $1,000 PC you build now would be $500 or less).

Only thing is I like me some RTS/TBS... :(



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Build yourself a quality PC first, then grab a PS3 for the exclusive games you're missing out on... Or vice-versa.



The Wii U will be on store shelves by the time you make a decision, lol.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

That's what I told him, but this guy just can't decide. I think this thread will go on until WiiU launch.

@DanneSandin: Keep in mind, you'll always be a fan of certain PC genres and one day you'll miss your strategy games. BTW: While you are still undecided, I've made my choice. My decision wasn't between a PS3 and a X360 (I already own both), but between an IPad and a new notebook. Today I decided to buy this.
