Forums - Gaming - What DON'T you like about the console you own?

things I hate about the consoles I have

DS: pretty much nothing, I like it alot. Hate the friends code system for online games. I also do some programming for the DS, and I simply HATE the 656kb of video ram, mostly because its tiny and only 512k can be used for textures for the 3d mode (vram banks A to D... yeah I know this is nerdy :p).

Wii: I grabbed mario galaxy, mario kart, brawl.. and I'm now pretty much done, nothing else interests me on the wii, its bugging me. Nintendo's Friends code system, Gah I mean I like seeing what game my friends are playing so I can join them if possible, without having to get a code from them for each game they have and jumping into each game to see if they are there :S

ps3: some second rate ports, public perception it sucks (it isn't that bad guys), lack of rpgs. Home is simply terrible.

I forgot DS and PSP so here they are

PSP: No complaints. This is my most used system I am playing PS1 titles on it as well either via remote play or after downloading it . PS1 games look amazing on PSP.

NDS: crappy graphics barring a few , publishers only use one screen most of the time. I am happier with my GBA titles although I am eagerly waiting for fire emblem DS



 

Wii - No custom soundtrack.

That is the greatest thing about 360. Its damn custom soundtrack!



PS3

- I don't know why, but it's incredibly slow. A 30MB game update can take up to 2 hours to download. I've thought about replacing it, but I really don't wanna lose all my save files.
- $120 AU for a full priced game.
- Mandatory installs can be a minor annoyance.
- No BC.

Wii
- Friends codes (and online in general) suck.
- Hardly anything to play on it.



Wii: 3rd party support (getting better).

360:

- Games usually have worse framerate than Wii ones (inexcusable for hardware which is technically more advanced).

- D-pad sucks.

- The supposed 20 GB hard drive has much less than 20 GB available for use.

- Noisy.

- No free online.

Come live in Europe, all electronics have 2 years warranty at least :P

 



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

PS3 - Lost exclusives, Less features than XBL, Mandatory installs, long loading times for some games, crappy ports

360 - Loud, RRoD, stupid avatars, pay for XBL, Live has more lag than PSN IMO, loud 12 year olds on Live (not the systems fault, but still), stealing would-be PS3 exclusives, looks like the old dell computers; See for yourself: http://gwaincusa.com/images/DHS.jpg



Wii, what really annoys me is lack of decent original western support, i do like Japanese games but some big Western Oriented titles would make me like the Wii even more.

No RE5 on the Wii

Friend Codes (even when i do not play much online)



i hate the hate it gets from other people
