Here we go again...the games R coming fella's so calm down.

power of Green 6193d ago

Whats the difference in what this guy's saying vs the others?. The games are coming alright (*_*). All consoles have games comming.

Dread19816193d ago

1. would you take the ps3 if it were free.

2. why...?

i see no reason to make one system look more bad then the other.

i had a 360 (was robed on chrismas eve) and i was very glad of it, but i also like my ps3, there are not that many games for it right now, but i am looking forword to the once that are comming.

ps. i think this guy must realy having alot work on his hands with all the bad pr that sony has gotten since the launche..

power of Green 6193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

People live to bash MS/360 this guy isn't alone. The day MS does to Sony what Sony did/does to MS; i'll stop purchasng their products. 360/2.5, Spring launch thunder stealing scam etc. etc.) MS's is attacked so offten it makes 360 fans not want to visit game sites and this guy's crying about people saying theres no games and PS3 too exspinsive plus noticing the PS3 isn't what was promised.

No one's going out of thier way to spite the PS3 out of envy or will even bother with bashing PS3/titles: Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and other PS3 hype building success in normal situations. Sony has had it easy, people complain about price and lack of sotware and its realalistic capabilites other than that!; no one's actively seeking to tarnish the PS3 as the Sony fans do with the 360. Media will buzz on whatever being talked about.

#5: The level of prejudice against "both" systems is amazing, People tag the PR filth with the PS3, come on bro, The PS3 is 3X more powerful than the 360, PS3's lauch games would be untouchable durring the 360's entire life span and all the other HD resalution Bullshit, reaching for the Sun jibba jabba.

And the 360 is hated due to the fact it's a threat to the PS legacy.

We'll see if that dude can undo the damage fast enough; no one wants to be lied to it's like a Cars Sales man Saying this and that and selling you a lemon(not saying PS3's a Lemon but that does upset people in simular ways).

(((((Kyur4ThePain ))))) There is no
conspiracy.

^^ Then WTF is this guy( Dave Karakker) talking about! then?. Don't make post the links of Sony PR saying what they said not to mention the Sony PR saying the PS3 is so! advanced its launch games could not be acheived on the 360. Did i type that right or do you need to read it again a few times?.

I'v owned two PS3 who gives a fack.

Go play your god dam PS3, will you have fun yes; will it change what this PR guy's facing no!.

Millions waited on the PR promisses of how revolutionary the capabillties the PS3 was going to have over the 360 last Sping and later when it actualy launched on day one and it wasn't as said, that was an attack on MS and this guys crying because people are saying it's too exspensive and has lack of software that the bulk of casual consumer care about.

(((((Kyur4ThePain )))))IF There is no
conspiracy don't reply to me!; post in general.

You bring up defect rate as if that makes up a large percentage of the 360 bashing from Sony fanboys, PR and 1st party devs. Thats moronic at best an is a prime example of what i'm talking about twisting to bash, that child like reasoning is funny to me adding the defect rate.

(((((Kyur4ThePain ))))) There is no
conspiracy. Its best i put your moronic ass on ignor, fools trying tell me to open my eyes when he's so anti MS he sports a anti MS avatar pic. lol

"noticing the PS3 isn't what was promised."
What was promised? A console with more advanced technology than any
other? I think it is just that...

"and other PS3 hype building success"
Like?

"as the Sony fans do with the 360"
Uhm, they break. Period. It's everywhere...open your eyes.
Magazines, newspapers, websites, even TV. There is no
conspiracy.

"PS3's lauch games would be untouchable durring the 360's entire life span"
Now you're just foaming at the mouth. Are those all things you made
up by yourself?

Once you actually own a PS3 and feel let down, then you can spew forth all that drivel. The rest of us will be having fun with our PS3s.

sonarus6193d ago

The PS3 is exactly what it promised. The most technologically advanced console today. Granted it hasnt delivered but it still has more than enough room to deliver. The amount of negative spin behind the PS3 is amazing. I remember the day i bought the PS3 from eb games. The guy that sold it to me told me so much bull it was amazing. Such as
1. You can't change the hard drive
2. The batteries for the controller arent rechargable
3. Has a very high failure rate
4. And a lot more...
Whats worse is i bought all that crap. I was this close to changing my mind on the whole console until he started convincing me to get an xbox360 which i already had. I was this close to not getting the game. The level of prejudice against this system is amazing i mean this coming from an eb games employee. WOW.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7222h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii1d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast21h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM18h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife7h ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit3h ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife1h ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
