Forums - Gaming - The worst console generation, starring - PS3, 360 and the Wii!

There is a big problem with the OP when he calls it the worst generation ever and praises the console with the absolute minority in sales while bashing the rest of the competition.

When someone makes an opinion that deviates too far away from that of the general public, he either is biased or plays video games like how picky wine tasters drink wine.

KD: Aren't you a fan of classic Resident Evil

I'm just saying

 

I am.

 

You're gonna have to explain your point though.

 

Did you not advocate the continuation of what was easily the most restrictive and archaic set of game mechanics of tthe 32-bit era?

 

This is a warning: Don't you ever speak bad about the classic Resident Evils. They're still miles above RE4. Now go play REmake and return a wiser man. 



Your points
"the Wii has no hardcore games"
"The 360 always breaks"
"Delays, price and shit marketing"

I'm gonna party like it's early 2007.

Honestly, think of something new, none of these are even true anymore, 1 of them was never actually true

Your points
"the Wii has virtually no worthwhile 3rd party hardcore games" fixed
"The 360 breaks very often and shares way too many "exclusives" with PC" fixed
"Delays, price and shit marketing, heavy loss of exclusive titles and support from previous gen(s)" still stands as it were

Tell me the above is not correct in any way, shape or form and I'll show you someone with poor eyesight. Granted, the points are modified somewhat but the general argument still remains that these are indeed the weak points of this gen, at least to some extent. As a long time gamer, I don't rightly know what I'd do this gen if it weren't for my PC.

You may be a mod, sir

But I owned the REmake, and I will fight you, I will.



i just read:
"IMO, by far the best console this gen. Plenty of fresh new gaming experiences; LBP, Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, Lair, Motorstorm, Flower, Afrika, Eye of Judgement, R2 (no FPS has gone this big and wild on a console the way R2 has), Home, Infamous, MAG, DC universe Online, The Agency and maybe some others I have forgotten. "
and i knew this thread is FAIL

Heavenly Sword - average clone of god of war,
Heavy Rain - interactive movie,
Lair - really bad clone of Drakan,
Motorstorm - average and mediocre game,
Flower - since when a tech demo where you can do absolutley nothing is any good game?
Afrika - no, just no,
Eye of Judgement - well something.....not that new at all - it's just next iteration of eyetoy games,
R2 - wow average fps-clone - i repeat this WOW,
Home - please tell how old is Second Life and all the other mmo games?
DC universe Online - look at Home description,
MAG - ok since when fps-clones only with bigger multiplayer is somethin new?
Infamous - you DO know that GTA3 was released in 2001 right? so what is so new in this sandbox game except that you've got superpowers(just like in Prototype)?
The Agency - no, just no.

"I'm not saying they haven't released any good games this gen, but compared to the efforts they made on the Gamecube of N64, consoles which done worse then the Wii, they are making less of an effort to bring quality to their console then previously. "
looked at Metroid Prime 3(best shooter this gen), Super Smash Bros Brawl(best fighter this gen), Mario Kart(great arcade racer if not best this gen), Super Mario Galaxy(best platformer since super mario 64), Wario Land, Endless Ocean(best sim on consoles for a long time), Captain Rainbow, and Battalion Wars 2 lined on my shelf - yeah he's just another blind hd fanboy guy trying to knock wii down just because it's selling better.



The DS saved this generation for me, IMO.



Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree.
ME = OWNED :(

End of '09 Predictions:

Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million

But I owned the REmake, and I will fight you, I will.

 

Instead of just owning games, I highy recommend actually playing them.

As for the fight I suggest some rules. You represent RE4, I represent REmake. We will judge on:

1. Scare level (key factor in Horror games)
2. Story
3. Graphics
4. Hardcore level/difficulty (like number of bullets/herbs available)
5. Quality of the puzzles
6. Gameplay

I think we can argue about the Gameplay, but REmake owns RE4 in all the other points.

I apologize, sir, I thought it was implied that I had played the game. I am not an unwashed iconoclast, in spite of evidence to the contrary. I am quite washed, if you will. I also played through Resident Evil 2 - both ways! And then I played Hunk's mission, and it was great.

Also, I feel you are stacking the criteria unreasonably towards the REmake. RE4 isn't survival horor. It does not try to be. In order to even it out, I would suggest these additional criteria, which are quite naturally not the horror game's forte:

7. Kicking ass and taking names (or: Feeling Like a Bad-Ass)
8. Boss fights
9. Enemy AI
10. Humor
11. How Many Regenerators Each Game Has
12. Number of Ill-Tempered Spaniards
13. Replayability
14. Guys in coats

Yea, were this RE2 you could argue about 14, and I suppose you can still argue about 13, but you can plainly see that the REmake will not win this contest, fair admin.
