TALES OF VESPERIA

GET IT NOW

BEST JRPG YET THIS GENERATION(yes I am a Tales fanboy.)

Fable 2 is also another amazing RPG, and get Left 4 Dead and I'll see you on LIVE :D Theres also a large list of fantastic titles that are probably really cheap by now too.

Best online games: Gears 1 and 2; Halo 2(I know right? People still play it.) and 3; Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead. Those are only best imo, though.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

It's only natural, Just as its becoming apparent the Wii will never get real core or hardcore game support, its all too apparent the PS3 is benefiting less and less from the HD symbiosis that let it ride the coat tails of the 360 and its games thus far this generation.

Sorry Sony, you've lost.

what are you talking about? there are great games on the PS3 but they dont have that"mass-appeal" games like MS games has. Imo MS are really great in marketing games like gears, mass effect, even lost odyssey(mind you sold really great in the west and now part of the platinum collection now), imo sony needs a killer app like halo to position themselves against ms.and no im not talking about MGS4, they need a gaem like killzone2 .

 

 

Should I bother responding to someone who insists Killzone 2 is something to be excited about? I don't see anything fruitful coming from our discussion. That's like a Wii Owner being excited about Geist 2.

 

 

I suspect after KZ2 comes out and I most likely enjoy it (based on descriptions from some beta testers who I trust) we're going to have another one of those long arguments where you try and debate the quality of a game you haven't played against someone who has played it.  Cherrypicking whatever little random negative comments you can get from people who have played it and didn't happen to like it, assuming they're the only ones who see the truth, and then spending the whole time telling me that I only enjoyed the game because I wanted to.  Good times, good times.

Honestly though, could we just skip it and you not badmouth things you have no clue about?  Could we do that please?



...

Congrats on the 360, I hope to get one soon myself.

Since you have an arcade model you may want to pick up one of the following(someone probably mentioned them before):

60gb HD stater pack - you can get these at CC with one of their coupons for extra savings. ($10 off of $75 - they have them at the stores next to check out counters - good between 12/06 - 12/14)

20gb HD offer - $30

Congratulations.

I'm not sure you'll see this in all of the anti-PS3 trolling going on, but good for you.

 

Well said.  Thank you for pointing out the anti-ps3 trolling in the mircosoft forum when a gamer makes a switch.  Thanks for clarifying.

That was an incredibly unwise move , you could probably buy TWO arcade units if you sold your PS3 used.

Why didn't you just by an arcade alongside your PS3 it's what I would've done THEY ARE DIRT CHEAP and the PS3 hardly depreciates in value except when there's a price cut.

Guess you won't be in on the K2 action next year*sad face*

Marketing 101... people will not buy something that they don't want.

Financialy unwise , Economics 101 ....You don't just trade in your new ferrari car for a new Skoda simply because you don't like the ferria , the Value difference between the two vehichles makes trading them wasteful, you might want to if your Ferrari car is broken or has suddenly dropped in value because Ferrari cut it's price but appart from that you pretty much threw money down the drain.

Yes thats right, after 18 months of PS3 heaven, Ive traded my PS3 in and got a 360 arcade model in return...

Got 2 games, Halo 3 and Gears of war....suggestions for new games will be appreciated....

I only have one pad so far, thats my priority now, to get a second.

And to Sony fans reading....sorry....

Talk about a change. Congrats!!!!!!!!

 



lol, woot, I make funny idea:

Snake: Colonel! What happened to the audio. It feels....compressed.

Colonel: I sold my PS3, Snake.

Snake: What the hellrrgg!?

Colonel: The PS3 was too expensive Snake. I wanted to get the new Blackberry and I needed to trade it in for a cheaper console.

Snake: ...pease...don't tell me...

Colonel: ...(sigh)...yes Snake, I bought a 360.

(Pow!)

Colonel: Snake?...Snake!...SNAKKKKEEEE!!!

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'm heading to bed, but I actually read every post. What I find just downright disturbing is ... the backlash from Sony fans over Col.'s decision. You call him a traitor, said he'll regret his decision and pretty much disown him. Wow ... what will he have to look forward to if he decides after college that he'll pick up a PS3 again?

I have seen threads where a person who owns a 360 or Wii buy a PS3 or a 360 or a Wii and the said group will celebrate with them. Not with the PS3 control group. From the vast majority of PS3 fans here, all I have read was pure-tee hate and a hint of fear. Fear that folks will see the light - that the PS3 isn't the second coming - and realize that while it was cool a couple years ago to invest in potential, now, folks are giving serious consideration to a system that was laughed at, taunted, ridiculed for failure - and is achieving a victory against a formidable foe.

Even if it's locked, words are forever - and the hard-core Sony and SDF types have their immaturity plastered all over these boards. So sad. You don't see more than a handful of folks from the 360 and Wii side condemning folks. No, we all realize in the end, it's just a game.

Col. Stubby, I recommend Halo 3, Fable 2, Test Drive Unlimited, Call of Duty 2, Mass Effect, Ace Combat 6 and try the demos on LIVE.

And Col. - even if you change your mind and head back to the Sony camp, you'd earned mad respect for broadening your horizons. +1.

Please don't categories the "majority" of PS3 fans as these hate posts are coming from about 5-7 people.
