Mr. SmartyPants wrote:SEVEN days remain!
Bobtheduck, I don't care if I can get every stinking Final Fantasy game on a ps3. The problem is real simple: It's on a ps3 and it costs 600 dollars.
I already have access to nearly every single Final Fantasy game (Original version or not).
The only ones I don't have are XI (Like anybody wants it), Tactics Advanced, XIII, and X. And they cost like what? 20 dollars each? (Besides XI, I could care less about XI)
So why should I buy a stinking ps3 for 600 stiking dollars and possibly re-purchase every single FF game I already have] the only eye-catching game[/B] they have for the ps3 is MGS4. And there's no way on this earth am I going to purchase a 600 dollar "Gaming-slash-entertainment" system just for one game.

Mr. SmartyPants wrote:Bobtheduck, I say 600 because nobody cares about the core packages. Not many people bought the xbox360 core package, and nobody bought the ps3 core package either. The core package fails.
Anyway I did read what you said. It actually doesn't matter if the games are free or not, the CONSOLE costs 600 dollars. I'm not going to buy a freaken 600 dollar console when I can spend less than 100 to finish my Final Fantasy collection.
Although I am skeptical on the older final fantasy games being Free or not. Nintendo's Virtual Console has you spending 5-10 dollars on old games, I would imagine Sony setting up something similar. If they make it free, good for them. I'm still not going to buy a 600 dollar console for games which I already own]
No, Sony is NOT making them free... They have two options. 1. A transfer from a PS3 using a PS1 disc, and 2. Download service a la virtual console store on the Wii. I guess I should have been clearer.I did not buy the xbox360 for only one game. Not even three. I don't think you should buy a system for only three games either.
I believe I said 7 games I know about, but I forgot to mention Assassin's Creed. It's just I was only mentioning exclusives. If I include non-exclusives, that list grows. True, due to late distrobution of the SDK for the programmers to get used to the system, the 360 versions look mostly better... [button="whatever"]though I think the bleeding lights thing a lot of games have done is ugly, and you get less of that on the PS3 versions[/button] that will change as people get used to the system, and there will be more multi-platform games that I'll want...The 360 games which have caught my eye are:
-Gears of War
-Lost Planet
-Rainbow Six Vegas
-Blue Dragon
-Mass Effect
-Call of Duty 2 (And I guess 3)
-Condemned
And a crapload of others.
Gears of War... We've gone over my opinion on that.
Lost Planet - I don't know anything about it yet. Unless Capcom plans on targeting games specifically to a non-Japanese audience, I can't see them continuing their 360 exclusives.
Rainbow Six - Old FPS, and on PS3 as well.
Blue Dragon - Akira Toriyama crap... I'm sorry, I hate his style, though it doesn't look as bad on here as it does on DQ8 and the Chrono Trigger adaptation on PS1... Honestly, it hasn't caught my eye.
Mass Effect - not a clue about it... Hmm... Watching a video now... Hmm... Looks mildly interesting, but I've never been into NA style RPGs... Even the Sci-fi ones... I won't judge it yet, though.
Call of Duty 2 and 3 - More FPS... *yawn*Oh, and it's on PS3, too...
Condemned - Ok, I may be wrong, but... A first person Horror game... No thank you... It didn't work for me with Doom... I doubt it will work here... First person just takes me away from the story... That even includes Halo...
Speaking of Halo, the only game I'm really interested in seeing on the 360 is Halo 3. The idea of completing a series is just great... It looks great, and I'm hoping they integrate the other stories (the novels and ILB) in it, which based on that trailer, I think they are. I just won't buy a 260 for that, but I'm sure I'll have access to one by that time.
But you know what? You play your 360. That's fine. I'll play my PS3. I won't buy a 360... Ever. Not because of lack of games, but because I hate what microsoft represents in the gaming industry. You know what, though? I'd sell 360s and I have on a number of occasions recommended them to other people (though never on this site.) Know why? IT's what they wanted. I want a PS3. And I say it's not worth judging the system a flipping quarter year after it's release.Sidenote: Kojima, if you make MGS4 for the 360 as well, I will love you forever. PLEASE DO IT!
Bobtheduck wrote:The 360 core fails because it sucked... No harddrive, when X-box pioneered harddrives in consoles. PS3 20 gig set is not NEARLY as crippled as the core set on the 360. That is NOT a fair comparison. Really. And a lot of people DID buy the PS3 20 gig set. It's missing only 40 gigs, a card reader, and wi-fi, the only one worth reclaiming being the wifi.

Mr. SmartyPants wrote:Right, but why not just spend 100 more dollars for extra goodies? That's basically the consumer mindset, and why Sony released two bundles. Granted it was a great idea. If I wanted a ps3 I would pick the premium over the core.
1. The ps3 uses the same controller they've used for about 10 years. It's seriously not ergonomic compared to the 360 and gamecube controller. They totally excel in terms of ergonomics. I think most people can agree to that.
2. Rainbow Six Las Vegas is not an old FPS. The franchise may be old, but Vegas is not. That plus xbox live and a not-crappy controller makes it awesome.
4. Ever play F.E.A.R.? It's very Similar to Condemned. I assume you've played neither though, if you're comparing it to a lame game like Doom.. It's NOTHING like Doom. It's not a "suspense-horror" game. Both are truly frightening (Mainly F.E.A.R.) which many veteran PC-FPS players will attest to. It's has it's mix of suspense, psychological horror, and is pretty terrifying.
5. I don't see how one could love Chrono Trigger yet not be anticipated for Blue Dragon. It has Nobou Utemasu, Toriyama, and the rest of the CT development team. (Or a good number of them I'd imagine) True the art style isn't the best. But the fact it got remarkably high scores on Famitsu gives has me anticipating for it.
6. Lost Planet sold remarkably well in Japan.
It may be weird to say this, but a much more comfortable controller simply makes gaming better. The ps1/2/3's controller feels mediocre now. It's enough to pass, and isn't crappy or anything. But no way is it comfortable.
And what exactly do they represent in the gaming industry? I think they're doing pretty well. Compared to Sony which I think is making all the bad calls, but whatever. In fact, the xbox360 is doing fairly well in Japan. Games like Lost Planet, Gears of War (Yes I said Gears of War) and Blue Dragon has gotten the 360 sold as high as 18,000 units sold per week (Not a lot in comparison to other consoles, but it's better than the previous 1,000 per week), not to mention that Gears of War is currently one of the top-10 games sold in Japan, PLUS it got amazing reviews off of Famitsu. (10/9/9/9 - 37/40)

It's an improvement over the first run of controllers on X-box, but I still prefer the dual shock. It was an extention of the SNES controller, so it was an easy transition, and apparently many Nintendo fans agree... Look at the "classic" controller on the Wii. DIfferent people have different opinions, though.
4. No, I haven't... I'll have to try it on the PS3.
6. Yeah... The best selling games on 360 in Japan are the ones that the very few 360 owners ALL bought... Systemwise, PS3 allready outsold the 360 in Japan.
7. As for what MS represents, This is a much longer story. It's about why I stopped being a PC gamer, back around the time PS1 was released... It has to do with Microsoft trying to bring that same philosophy to Consoles, which I don't want to see... They haven't completely succeeded, but they made a serious dent. And no matter how well an individual game does on the 360, it is severely FAILING in Japan.
Mr. SmartyPants wrote:I dunno. I mean I don't see people complaining to Nintendo going "Aww man! You changed the controller AGAIN!" or anything like that.
I hope you enjoy it
Why would people buy more than one copy of a game?
It's obvious the 360 is the weakest system in Japan, because it's not by a Japanese manufacturer. Anyway like I said, I'm basically saying what the sales reports tell me. (I'll pull up a link in a minute)
Yet. I still prefer Japanese games and such.Newsflash. We're not in Japan.
for nowWe are in the U.S.
Agreed, though it could have something to do with Microsoft's attitude toward gaming and their roots in the AMERICAN PC gaming world...It's obvious that the 360 is failing in Japan because Microsoft is not a Japanese company.
Not really... Like I said, PS3 has outsold the 360 in Japan after a mere 3 months... Neither come close to the Wii, and the DS... Well... That's just on a different plane alltogether.However the statistics show that the 360 is gaining more ground due to hits like Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Gears of War, and Blue Dragon.
Likewise Worldwide sales statistics show that the 360 sold over 10 Million. The ps3 is only at 1.2 million.
And the Wii is at approximately 4.4 million.
