wow......and i quoted you in agreement *throws up*

I'm crazy apparently, but I don't trust Metacritic in the least...a lot of the games I think are amazing aren't rated as such on there. And a lot of games I play that I think are horse-shit fall in the 80-100 range. I stopped using it a long time ago.

Always amazes me when you show ABSOLUTE proof you still get the thread going I think you made this a open and shut case.

 

saprano1 said: kitler53 said: with the 360s year head start it simply had a ton more games then the ps3 when the ps3 was released which was an advantage for the 360. but if you compare any given single year (2008, 2009 for example) they are basically identical in both number and quality.   Finaly somebody with a brain in there head. just because it has more dont make it better.

 

It a has more and has more games on metacritic with a rating of 90 or higher and more with a 90 ir higher, which means IT HAS A LARGER AND BETTER library.  You can say a lot of things about the 360 but this one is obvious

Metacritic doesnt mean anything in this.

Reason?Listen

1)There are a lot of games that are both in the PS3 and the 360 and the 360 counts as a 90+ and the PS3 one a 80+ just because the PS3 game was released some months later(GRAW2,Colin Mc Rae DiRT,many others).

2)There are absolutely heaps of Live Arcade games in the Xbox list over 70 and 80.Admittedly theres some PSN games too but far less and to be brutally fair the less that 50Mb Live games can hardly compete with the GT5P ,Warhawk ,Wipeout HD ,Siren and other PSN offerings.We are comparing here apples and oranges ,basically ,but the Live oranges are very numerous and distorsionate the raw numbers.

3)THe PS1 games in the store arent counted.The better example ....Castlevania Symphony of the Night is in both plattforms but only counts as a 90+ in the 360 as the PSN game is a PS3/PSP offering.This is absolutely unfair ,as many 360 offerings are old games(Rez,Soul Calibur,many more) yet the PS3 cant count the old PS1 games in its gamerankings numbers.

4)Many of the games that make the difference in the total numbers are old iterations of the sports franchises ,and old games as GRAW1 and Condemned1.While Condemned 1 could be argued as a different game ,I think nobody in its sense would imply the 360 library is better because having Madden 06 and Madden 07 ,Tiger Woods 06 and 07 ,NBA Live ,NBA 2k,NHL ,NHL 2K ,Fifa and the awful PES6 from years past.The same with GH2(a solid 90+ in the 360 list while the better GH3 has less in both PS3 and 360..),GRAW1 and a couple other games.


All this makes that the metacritic comparisions should be vastly adjusted.

Right now ,the PS3 and the 360 have comparable libraries.The 360 has better JRPG(although not a single AAA title there) and the PS3 has better plattform games ,better music games(it adds Singstar to the Rockband and GH),and some things more original (Eye of Judgement).All in all ,comparable.

You don't get it do you ?

It's not about that the 360 has more games. It's about the 360 has more better games. Which doesn't mean the PS3 has no good games.

What defines a good games library ?

1. many games (more variety) - 474 check

2. good games - 128 games over 80+ check

 

BTW: Kitler53 is right, but only for 2008 and probably the future. There were major differences in games quality in 2006 and some minor in 2007.

Ok read and listened!

1) I agree with that you are getting and old ported game and if you have pay $60.00 as in the case of bioshock thats a rip off for the PS3 owner so I agree with it getting a lower rating

2) The live games are amazing you should give them a try castle crashers and Braid are truly STUNNING games.  You are judging them cause of there file szie.  By the way the limit is 250mb know and braid was 144 mb.  But I dont care if it was 20mb the game is awesome.  Your right there are a large number of live games and they were rated highly cause they are awesome just goes to show it has a better library

3)That one I will give you

4) So what you can still buy the old games such as GRAW again more games, highly rated better libaray.  A library includes the older games yes 360 came out first and that is part of the reason for its bigger library, so what its bigger and better

No what you mean is right know PS3 and 360 are roughly getting the same amount of games. the library is sitll bigger and better on the 360.

LMFAO... thanks man, I needed a good laugh..

I dont undrstand how are you guys using scores based everybody else's opinion? and the 360 has more games of course its going to have better scores in there favor (in who ever's opinion) the point i was trying to make was that how is the 360's library better? somebody please explain. that scoring crap dont mean anything, i was trying to say (before those 2...3 clowns started to say i was crazy) ps3 and 360 basically have the same 3rd party games yes, but witch of the console exclusives do you like? you like gears and fable then the 360 is for you. you like resistance and LBP then the ps3 is for you. and you get the multiplats to go with them. you decide witch system is the best for "you"......how am i crazy?

gebx said: 360 http://www.metacritic.com/games/xbox360/scores/ 474 Games total, 113 have a 80%+ rating, 15 with 90%+ PS3 http://www.metacritic.com/games/ps3/scores/ 214 games total, 68 have 80%+, 5 have 90%+

16 month earlier on the market with nearly 200 games extra, its obvious 360 has a larger library, some great games were released in that time, so out of them extra games you are bound to find many 90+ and 80+ titles, that should explain the question that the op asked. going towards the end of 2008 and going into 2009 ps3e titles are looking much better. if ppl want to go round playing 2yer old games thats fine by me!
