@ OP. WTF are you on?

They aren't unfinished games. You seriously need to re-evaluate gaming.

NG2, TOV, Bioshock. These games are all completely finished and how they were meant to be. Years later they are released on PS3 with a few extras. That is inevitable. They need to get sales on the PS3 version. And this is a way of doing it. Personally I like to do my gaming now.

This is a massive reason why I preferred PS2 over Xbox 1. PS2 would have all the games. Any games that went to Xbox 1 were usually 12 months later and more content. But noone cared so, I guess it's the same this gen and any gen. Noonw wants to wait 12 sometimes 18 months for many games and find a few add ons.

Fail thread.

Seriously. I rather play a game one year earlier than waiting for a PS3 version with one new character or one new multiplayer map or whatever.

The real question is:
Who's dumb enough to pay fullprice for a game with barely more content than the orignal game for half or one third the price ?

When I say this, I don't mean it in an anti-360 way.  What I mean by it is, why does the 360 get several unfinished games, see The Orange Box, Tales of Versperia, Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, etc.  just for finished products to be on the PS3 or PC.  We shouldn't stand for this..


I hope I'm not the only one who sees this.

Orange box (PS3) was a joke

Fallout 3 (PS3) was nearly unplayable at launch

Bioshock (PS3) only got a "playground" thing

ToV (PS3) Only got 2 new characters and more voice acting.

Eternal Sonata (PS3) only got 1 or 2 more playable characters

Every multiplatform game on the PS3 is inferior except one of the Burnouts and some other racing game.

WTF......you pretty much listed all the extra features of these MP games that are only on ps3 version and yet call it inferior?

 

That's not the point he was trying to make. The point is even with the additional content(which is minimal in many cases) the X360 version ends up being the more playable build with less graphical issues, freezes/lock ups etc. So in regards to that I agree with him 100%



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Serious thread?

PS3 had a superior Orange Box?

LMAO thats EXACTLY what I thought too!

FYI, Bioshock PC was exactly the same as Bioshock X360, and with the exception of TF2 updates so was The orange Box. I suggest editing the OP to something with actual examples

You.. a ToV fan, don't you feel betrayed that the 360 version was pretty much a unfinished game and that the PS3 is getting more content in their version.

You do realize that we get most of those games over a year early and most of those revolutionary upgrades of which you speak, are tacked on....I mean, you think that PS3 fans should be happy about how they got Bioshock, and 360 fans should be upset? Get real.



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.

So wait is this thread about games coming out first on 360 then on PS3 later with stuff it should've had the first time?

Only game 360 fans should be mad about is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, since it seems like they are going all out to fix the game.



can't wait for Track Season 2009/2010, guna beast out!

I would agree if you meant like multiplayer betas (halo 3, 1 vs 100, CoD WaW)

Umm, but the OJ? Isn't it really superior on xbox? (compared to ps)

The only game that I recall that might be the case is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. But that isn't out yet so we can't judge.
