Forums - Microsoft - Top 5 Xbox 360 Games PS3 Fanboys Wish They Had

If I Really want to play any 360 exclusive i'll just play my brothers 360, but to this day I haven't felt the longing or need so this list doesnt bother me at all



Around the Network

Fanboys are blind. They have no interest even in good games. The writer fails. Also, consoles are chose because of games so PS3 owners might not be interested in X360 titles. In a similar manner X360 owners might not be interested in PS3 games.

Now, as a M$ hater I must say that list is terrible. Mass Effect is the only one I have even slight interest in and I can get it on PC if I want. Probably not; it's still not interesting enough. However, Alan Wake is what interests me the most (read: the only one that actually interests me). What a pity they're making it Vista-only... Oh well, I guess it's just another reason to hate M$.



2 of them are on pc (GeOW, ME), the other 2 will come to pc eventually(Halo 3, GeOW 2), 2 of them aren't even released yet (Fable 2, GeOW 2), one of them isn't even that great (Dead Rising), and one of them doesn't exactly look like it is going to sell systems either (Fable 2). They compiled the wrong list in my opinion.

I would have thought that most ps3 fans would be after the rpg's that the 360 has to offer.

How could you forget Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm???

 

Best. Game. Ever.

Damn Sony. How could they just leave me and countless millions out in the cold like that?

I think Gears of War and Halo 3 should switch spots.

Am I the only one who really doesn't give a flying f*ck about these (partially multi platform) games anymore after playing MGS4? Letś look at the games:

5. Dead generic.

A game which exited me for half a second when it was released and I actually owned when my 2 360ś still functioned. For some weird reason one of the basic rules of playing a game is functioning hardware. MS seems to have the exclusive rights to failing in that department.

4. Fable 2

A game that is yet unreleased, how can I possibly envy any product that simply is not there?. Number 1 really wasn't that good as a million other games in that genre, and this time around they make the world 10x bigger, but they are better off making it 10x more interesting.

3. Gears of War 1 & 2

2 isn't out and 1 looks better on PC with added content and is cheaper.

2. Mass Effect

I am not a sci fi nerd. Could not care less, the pc version appears to better judging by the comments I read on the gamepage here. http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=7635

1.Halo 3

I really liked Halo on my original xbox. Great game I could play on a system that didn't die on me. Perhaps if they decided to make a good follow up instead of rushing a half baked product out to customers (the year headstart obviously didn't help them after all) I would have played Halo3. Now I did not, and that's just ok by me. Atleast my Wii, PS3 handhelds and PC never died on me while performing their basic task. A good piece of mind is well worth missing the graphically unimpressive Halo3 for.

I don't agree with everything, but I do agree with what he said about Fable 2.

Instead of being 10x larger, why not make it 10x more interesting.  I had no personal stake in the storyline.  It just was boring.

Dead rising was exciting, until I had to hold that dumb sluts hand to take her back to saftety.  And trying to find save spots was always fun.



Perhaps you should change the title to Top 5 games on a Microsoft Platform, that would solve ALL of the issues.



The link starcraft is referring to is now "Top 5 PS3 Games That 360 Fanboys Wish They Had" and contains stuff like:

5. Final Fantasy XIII

Although the 360 does have Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, both of which come directly from the man behind FF himself, there really isn’t a JRPG to be found on the 360 that comes anywhere close to matching Final Fantasy. It’s even quite possible that no other JRPG will ever out do this longstanding franchise. To have the next chapter appear on the 360 would be a delight for any owner, and even the ones that don’t enjoy RPG’s would revel in their counterparts’ anguish of losing one of Sony’s most important exclusives. Yes, the 360 did receive Final Fantasy XI, but everyone knows how MMO games usually pan out on Microsoft’s console. We’re sure that most 360 gamers are still praying for the true arrival of this franchise, rather some shotty port of a lesser entry in the series.

4. Grand Turismo 5

Racing genre junkies who own both Xbox consoles have always been able to rely on getting their fix with the Project Gotham Racing series, but when it comes to the true gear heads that put motor oil in their breakfast cereal, no other series will substitute GT (not even you Forza). With over 900 cars, GT 5 offers a plethora of racing possibilities, and let’s not forget those stunning graphics that make us feel like a deer caught in a pair of virtual headlights that can’t quite comprehend what it’s seeing. The only real comfort 360 owners can take in having to live without this franchise is that PS3 gamers may not be able to enjoy the full game until after 2009.

3. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

There aren’t many other games quite like Uncharted in general, let alone on the 360. With its intuitive mix of platforming, puzzle solving, and straight up shooting, Uncharted delivers a blockbuster of an adventure that could compete with any summer movie release, and would surely please gamers of either platfom. Not only is Uncharted an important title for its genre, but it also symbolizes the great gaming that can be had on the PS3 as one of the best titles the system has to offer. We can’t really think of any good substitute on the 360 that offers the same style and story that Uncharted does, which makes it one of the most envied PS3 games of all. Although the series is just starting out, don’t bother hoping for a reverse BioShock effect, as Sony owns the developer, Naughty Dog.

2. Resistance 1&2

We can list Japanese RPG games or racing sims until HD-DVD makes a comeback, but the truth is that what 360 gamers really live for are First Person Shooters, so much that we didn’t use the usual acronym. Yes, the 360 is by no means suffering any shortage in the shooter market, but the genre is so near and dear to many who own the console that some jealousy is to be expected at seeing PS3 owners enjoying one FPS franchise that Xbox owners cannot. It’s like taking a Star Wars fan and a Trekkie, then giving the latter a lock of George Lucas’ hair. With the sequel’s promise of even more nifty weaponry and an astonishing 60 player online component, the Resistance games offer a very real FPS experience that just plain can’t be found on the 360. Blasphemy isn’t it?

1. Metal Gear Solid 4

MGS 4 makes it to the top of our list not only because it happens to be the timeliest (releasing this week), but the incredible history of rampant speculation concerning a 360 version point to one thing: Xbox gamers want it BAD. Maybe the root of all this vague hope can be traced back to the taste of the franchise that Substance gave to the original Xbox, or perhaps the envy spawns from all the notoriety the series has in general. Even the most ardent 360 fanboy cannot deny that the Metal Gear Solid series is a hallmark in the history of videogames, offering unrivaled stealth action with a storyline worthy of excessively long cutscenes. Naturally, the most loyal Xbox owner would deny any desire to play it, but don’t think for a second that a 360 port of MGS 4 would be any less successful than former Sony exclusive Grand Theft Auto.



Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.

It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.

But surely one of those top 5 would be GTA4, which PS3 already has?

Sure 2 of them are on the PC, but can you play them on the ps3? That is the whole point of the article.

Besides, games for windows and games for 360 are the same thing/platform.
