Forums - Sony - So...i helped this Random guy at Walmart...

Choose a new PS3 "Game/games" for him AND his son who is 21.

 

Basiclly the dad is an HUGE RPG fan but isn't up-to-date with these "new" games and needed some advice, the people working that area at the time were stupid... and his son was a Sports and FPS nut-case... (huh? isn't that odd? oh well...)

 

Anyways he tells me a list of games hes interested in here was the list...

  1. inFamous - He thought this was a made by Sony WRPG...
  2. Fable 2 - I thought he was joking and from the look he gave me i said "dood...its 360 exclusive" he then giggles in despair.
  3. LBP - I just laugh.
  4. Folklore - i was abit dumbfounded, that he KNEW about this game, i said it was PS3's first legit JRPG game but also noted its hard to find in Wal-Marts casual game section, but loath and behold the guy found a copy.which was even more freaky.
  5. Fight Night Round 4 - I had no opinion...
  6. Blazblue - I said go for it.
  7. NCA 08-09 and 10...(His son?) - I said gtfo nao!11 "He then laughed and got the joke and i really did say "GTFO" ....
  8. Killzone 2 (For his son) - I said its great but it takes strategy to master, its not run and gun like Unreal.
  9. Tales of Vesperia - I said its not out yet, and may not come to USA and exclusive to japan, he then becomes even futher depressed...
  10. Disgaie 3 (sp?) - I said i wouldn't know i dont play 2nd games on mah PS3...

So he then asks if there were any SRPG's for the PS3... since he loved Final Fantasy Tactics back on the PSOne...

 

And then i go into Valkyria Fanboy mode and got up in his face and softly whispered in a non-gay way... "Viva La...Valkyria" He goes.. "Huh, wut waz dat brada?" then i shout Valkyria Chronicles like a nutcase!

..."The Workers they stare with all there noobishness..."

So i went on to explain'n in detail and he seemed interested, but i was GOING to get him to buy it... so i ask this lady if she could switch the PS3 game "the one on the stande" for a game called Valkyria chronicles she then says "We cant just switch games that arn't..." then this Pro-Gaming worker pops outta know-where (yay! took long enough) and says he'll handle it, and does his magic and voula Viva La Valkyria...

 

Then i tell the guy and he then begins to play it for 5 mins...

 

He comes back and says "Whats your PSN?" i then tell him, he then says "Your my best friend on PSN now! *Smiley face*"

 

So all in all my fission DID NOT get mailed, ironiclly 11 to 14 maybe other people there also picked up this game, we were talking quite loudly so lol.... if that did influence there purchase in anyway then wow... holy shyte im a freaking VC Zealot!

 

Note: He also bought Fable II, KZ2, Folklore and inFamous, i didn't really talk about those games much but he seemed happy with his purchases.

 

Double Note: Wal-Mart should hire me, they'd make t3h doh in the video games area!

Good work!

a sports, shooter and RPG nut? I'm not saying the ps3 is a bad decision but wouldn't the 360 be a bit better for someone like that?



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Well as far as RPG's go PS3 is on par with the 360 now, the list is huge.

And i think he knew this which is why he leaned toward it.

as far as sports and shooters go i would have to agree, but i think the son already has a X360 while the dad owns the PS3. (From the way he was talking)



I like the "it takes strategy to master" for Killzone 2.... hum...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Yay! More people with Valkyria Chroincles thanks to you!(Damnit I still need to buy that game!!)



Good job promoting great games.

dude must already have a 360 - he got Fable II.

Drat. Beaten to the punch. Again.

I hope he does own a 360, or his Fable II purchase would be kind of useless.

And shame on your for laughing at LBP!
