It's funny. I was thinking the same thing because I read that exact article and comments you were talking about right before I clicked on this thread.

I completely agree. Ps3 and 360 games look so damn similar, it amazes me when ever I see the two compared. Then you have the folks that post screenshot after screenshot, like they're trying to prove something lol. There is a reason Halo is my favorite franchise, and it's not because of the graphics. It's only an added plus Halo 4 looks really good.

PS3 fans don't necessarily have to be PS2 and PS1 fans - usually the most vocal people are ones who flip-flop very easily

BTW, what's wrong with inFamous. The game looks great for an open world type game. I mean it's not AMAZING but I'm not wasting my time staring at the leaves on the trees for hours wondering why they don't look better lol.

Infamous 1 looked pretty ugly with huge aliasing going on everywhere, I platinumed that game anyway - Infamous 2 looks quite good

I also platinumed the 1st InFamous game.  InFamous 2 looks better than the 1st but overall it's still pretty ugly. 

Such ugliness. If once seen can never be unseen. Right!

Edit: Just being sarcastic if not clear. I don't like think you can call any of the modern games ugly. Some might not match the artistic pallet and be bland but ugly. Come on. 


lol I guess ugly is kind of harsh haha

Lmao so you saw that too haha  Same he, I love Halo but not because of the graphics.  The picture comparisons always crack me up.  Like "Eww look this pic has 2 more particles floating about!" lol




       

Weren't you in a debate recently about Live and PSN? Both of which are inferior to Steam.



Yes, because as owner of both consoles I can say they have close parity between their different perks and weaknesses. They are not twins. After losing my last PS3 I realized that the PS3 really did not have much to offer me for a while that the 360 did not have and thus my over zealous days for Sony went on hold and may never reappear. Basically, I can wait for it to get more exclusives I must have, like the Last of US to get it again. I could make a huge list of what is better on each console, but I will not and I will continue to be baffled by the PS3 vs 360 threads now. To me, it should MS and Sony vs Nintendo because Nintendo is way more different than the other two on so many more levels. This will change of course with the coming of the Wii U as Ninty's console clearly looks the same.

Yes I was.  I'm talking about graphics not an OS.  And I still believe it goes like this Steam>XBL>PSN>Origin>Uplay>Wii Friend Codes

P.S. The reason I was argueing with that kid is the way he worded things.  He was stating PSN+ was the best yet he has not used another online service.  They all have pros and cons.....Well Uplay is just kind of garbage but besides that they all do a few good things that sets them apart.  I choose steam over XBL simply because it's free but XBL has more features.




       

i was never really a part of the whole graphics debate thing myself but regardless

if you aren't interested in discussing something then stay away from those discussions...

its not up to you to tell people what to discuss

Cant speak for Nintendo, but MS is an ever changing identity in gaming. Sony adopted their style for not one but two generations.

So at the very least its funnier from my stance



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

" PC has 25x the power as current consoles "

Oh really? Which one?
I always laugh at comments like this which compare a PC to a console. These are 2 very different things.

Anyway, no, I don't get annoyed. I know 360 owners might get annoyed because it is a fact that PS3 exclusives having been pushing console graphics to its limits for years now.(Not just my opinion, look at those analysis from Digital Foundry, Lens of Truth or whatever)

If you do get annoyed, I have a simple solution, get out of the thread. It's not that hard. The only reason I can see someone getting annoyed is if your preferred console is losing in these arguments. Yes, you CAN have a preferred console even if you own multiple consoles.
