Forums - Microsoft - An Xbox 360 over PS3?!

Honestly, a year ago, I did NOT even consider buying a 360 over a PS3. I totally thought the PS3 would turn around and dominate the 360 for a quick 2nd place. (My loyalty always lied with Nintendo, though. What can I say? I love their games.)

With all these releases though, I couldn't resist getting a 360 this time around. Very enticing exclusives like Tales of Vesperia and Gears of war drew me in.

The problem with the PS3 was that I didn't find any of their exclusives interesting at all. Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Resistance, Killzone, Metal gear Solid..... Sure I've HEARD that they were great games. By almost everyone... But that was the thing. The only thing that had me beleiving in whether the game was good or not was just word of mouth. None of those games really pulled me in gameplaywise.  They looked good, sure, but I was never a person who cared too much about graphics.

I just have to say good job to Microsoft this time around, getting me, a total Nintendo fanboy, yes. A fanboy on VGCHARTZ, to get multiple consoles. I am seriously enjoying Tales of Vesperia and gears.

Halo, however I think looks and plays like crap. Shoot me. It's booooooring. That's why I don't trust the word of mouth.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

Enjoy your Xbox 360.

I've finished over 20 games on mine and im still finding cool games in the back catalogue after more than one year of ownership. Renting games is da bomb! I wish everyone enjoyed Halo like I do, but like every game theres a matter of taste to think about.


You should consider going online and purchasing a few Xbox Live games! Here are some games I have now or will buy very shortly online.

1. Castle Crashers!!!
2. Braid

Will buy very soon...

3. Carnan (Whatever) lol its a strategy tile placing game, looks V.cool.
4. Psychonaughts.
5. Jade Empire.
6. Fable 1.

Btw, you should have a look at the back catalogue of very cheap games. You can find some pretty awesome little gems there. Theres a list of games made by Mrstickball which you should look at stickied in these forums so I think you should check it out.




Tease.

Well I should finish these games for now, and I plan to get more around next month when I A. Get paid and B. Get a hard drive kit for my 360.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

Congratulations!

Halo 3 is like 20$ now or so I've seen it at some places, so it's a good reason to give it a try!

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
