Forums - Gaming - Has your opinion changed on the PS3 - Post E3 / Leipzig?

No, I still have little interest in the PS3. PS3 exclusives keep coming to the 360 so as time goes by, I have less and less reasons to pick up on. I may pickup one near the end of the generation so I can get my hands on White Knight Story and Valkyria Chronicles though.

Still i wouldn't buy a PS3 it's just not a product for me, i do see it as a quality multimedia centre.

Few Personal reasons (i'm not bashing the console)

Games library still in my opinion is a bit boring and that's my main point i really can't stand most of FPS games, and they are the main genre on the PS3. I like RPG's and games like Zelda and PS3 does not have enough. Uncharted and Rachet and Clank were fun games i've played on Playstation, the rest were a bit meh, i admit LBP has loads of potential.

Because i don't have time to play any online games; wi-fi and free online, home, don't matter for me.

Blu-Ray, well i've got massive DVD library i love my movies, but at the moment still BR moves are too expensive, plus i would be kinda forced to convert my movies to BR (since there would be much difference), so from personal choice i don't care about BR yet.

Price is also beyond my budget as a student.

At the end of the day, i do know that PS3 is a good product, but simply not for me, and i don't think that in near future i can be convinced to get it.


ps. Oh and i have hope for RE5 on the wii.



I still prefer Xbox360 and Wii.

The PS3 to me always seems to be on the cusp of delivering something big - the big games always seem to be out next year - but it never actually seems to deliver it. Take for example, 2008, it was meant to be the year of the PS3 yet, so far to me at least, it's been dissappointing.

Maybe with the release of LBP, Resistance 2 and Home it'll finally deliver on it's potential for me.

 

I remember buying the Playstation 3 and 360 at launch. I'm one of the few odd ones who is very used to rolling with the punches. The games library was unimpressive to me, up until I destroyed all my preconcepted notions of genres and actually played them.

 

When I finally beat Resistance (I hated it when I first got it, but than I actually played through it), Uncharted, Ratchet, Heavenly Sword, and MGS4 - I realized something. The Playstation 3 games were of uber-quality and were doing very right. The library is almost there, but once LBP and R2 come out, IF they hit the scale I want them to, I can see myself taking back my vicarious claims on the game's library.

 

I think the problem is that if you own a 360 and have a friend who's PS3 you can play on you realise exactly why you didnt purchase one yet. See The games you mentioned are between ok and good(apart from MGS4 the sole reason for me to own a PS3). The 360 has far more quality titles on offer, and after playing say NG2 a game like HS seems slow and cumbersome. Uncharted is good, but for 3rd person shooters you have GeoW. Ratchet is certainly a matter of taste (of which Mario wins hands down) and MGS4 has no current competition (I doubt Conviction will be half as good unless a miracle happens.)

 

When my collection consists of

Mass Effect

Eternal Sonata

Halo 3

Gears of War

Lost Odyssey

Ninja Gaiden 2

Blue Dragon

Bioshock

Command and Conquer 3

Kameo

The Orange Box

Forza 2

Soul Calibur 4

Devil May Cry 4

Oblivion

GTA 4

 

Why would I need a PS3????

On top of that the new dashboard is right on the money and the new live stuff at E3 puts 360 a leap in front on on line services again. 10,000 films available for free if you have gold by the end of the year. Seriously why would I spend £350 on a Ps3 when I can buy 8 good to great games for my 360 by the end of the year?



nope.. nothing on the Ps3 still doesn't interests me =/ ...

Not really, but my opinion of the 360 went up. Sorry. The permanent loss of BC is a big deal to me.

 

Didn't you own a PS3 with full BC, which you sold? If BC was such a big deal for you, why didn't you keep it instead of selling it at a loss?

My opinion of the console has changed but it still isn't great. It seems as if I'm always anticipating the "next big release" instead of being content with the current offerings for the console (like I am with the 360).

LBP, SOCOM, Killzone 2... These are all names that we've been talking about for years now. I'm tired of waiting and want Sony to start delivering games I want to own as opposed to games I want to rent (Uncharted, R&C, Heavenly Sword, etc.). I bought MGS4 simply because I wanted to play it on launch day... If not for that, I would have rented the game once I found out how entirely mediocre MGO was and how Konami was shafting the consumer with DLC for the multiplayer. It was a worthwhile experience (as was Uncharted, HS, and R&C), but there's nothing out that screams "buy me" for the PS3.

Warhawk is about the closest thing to something I would play constantly but I'm not a big fan of vehicular-based shooters. Nothing against the game, it just isn't my cup of tea.
