In terms of what both offered in total and what real gamers would likely favor I honestly cannot see how Microsoft had won overall. I mean it basically was not necessarily ANYTHING new in terms of what would be brought to revolutionize the industry. I mean, multiplats are okay but I don't think you can accurately call FFXIII a multiplat due to the fact that it really is a timed exclusive for the PS3. Most of what Microsoft offered was in fact carbon copies of what the competition already offe...
I mean at least we don't get "NINTENDO SWEPT E3 AND DOMINATED" by the Nintendo fan sites. Microsoft fans have sunk lower than the Nintendo fans in terms of reality? That is just sad. I mean could someone tell me why people want to play FFXIII on an xbox 360 with RROD and a 5 disc multidisc game that is coming out a year later than the PS3 version is in the US? Sounds like the Xbox crew will be waiting for the most gimped version of a game this gen. And besides that, what did MS show...
What the hell is with that? I game a total of 20 hours a week. How does playing Wii for an hour a day constitute being "hardcore"? This just throws all the statistics they gave into the "We really aren't providing actual facts" category. What happened to them bragging about all those female gamers? Last I heard most of the Wii fanbase is female, does that mean that the amount of sex changes has suddenly skyrocketed with girls from 5-16 years old? Honestly. This seems like ...
If you think Nintendo delivered on its promise of 3d coordinate recognition than you are terribly mistaken and fooled. NONE OF THE GAMES HAVE MANAGED TO INCORPORATE 3D COORDINATE MOVEMENT RECOGNITION. The only thing that did happen with the Wiimote was gesture recognition which doesn't even come close to actual 3D manipulation. Gesture recognition is the equivalent of a single button press. It does not add immersion to the experience but merely changes what triggers a single action. Like in c...
I mean if you consider Madden 08 a worthwhile multiplat then I guess you might be right. But lets not forget about the growing pains of any new technology. I mean its funny that you say the PS3 is suffering from crappy ports but last I checked a good portion of 360 titles were PS2 ports for the first 2 years. And lets not forget about Crackdown, Perfect Dark 0, and Quake IV which were even more pathetic than the crappy multiplats on the PS3. And currently, multiplats on the PS3 ARE ON PAR wit...
Would you rather have a truckload of games that you cannot play due to hardware failure or just a handful of good games that you know you can. Personally if I had to go 6 weeks straight without gaming because the damn system broke 3 times I would just give up on the company. You can talk about the games all you want but what good are the games when the hardware cannot work to play them? Its like bragging you have the biggest vinyl record collection when you don't even have a record player. Wh...
Yeah because we all know that the Xbox 360 is the epitome of future ready broadband digital distribution with its 10/100Mbit ethernet port, lack of wifi, and 20 GB harddrive that makes the second generation Ipod look vastly superior. Lets face the facts, even if DD is the future do you really think HD 1080P UNCUT Movies will be distributed onto the crappy 360 with its utterly abysmal storage capacity that caps at 2 movies. I guess MS would love for you to have to buy multiple 120 GB Xbox 360 ...
Yes but the games are nothing special. You make it sound as though the DS games were an accomplishment of god himself. It is true that the DS does have a lot of variety but its not something we haven't seen elsewhere. You can argue that the PSP games are nothing but PS2 games but I don't see ANY DS games with the type of depth and artistic storytelling like God of War, Daxter, and FFVII CC. I see more simplistic games that are meant to be enjoyed in small doses rather than actual gaming accom...
Some DS games are good but I really do not think that they are greater than the PSP library. DS games are reminiscent of old PC point-and-click adventures. Those games are good but come on they are not the greatest. And trauma center and cooking mama have the same quality of flash games for crying out loud. The only game I think that might be a greater game is Zelda. Other than that all games are pretty damn similar to what you can play at an internet cafe.
The Wii's abysmal game library or how delusional Wii gamers really are. Truth be told the Wii sucks. Its library sucks, the hardware sucks, its online scheme sucks. And I have yet to see anything get better from a hardcore perspective.
Are games going to ever stop sucking on the Wii? Because I cannot imagine the Wii continuing to perform well in sales if the games don't improve. And another thing, who on earth buys a Wii for the games? The game selection is an abomination of low budget E rated ports. If you did, you probably meet the qualifications of being a retard seeing as the selection is utterly abysmal. And how many of those games were just wii-mote adaptations of gamecube games? Lets see, there's Super Mario Galaxy (...
Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Motorstorm, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Resistance FOM, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Twisted Metal, etc.
You must be retarded or sucking some major Nintendo c@ck to not even list some of these. Sony also has more developer resources and are always coming up with new IPs every year. I have yet to see Nintendo come up with something new besides another Mario game.
I thought it was just one game called Mass Effect. The rest seem to be PS3 titles so how is it the best lineup ever with the inclusion of just one game.
I don't get that.
There are more stupid people like the poster above who think the Wii is the greatest system of all time with the exception it has the worst library of games out of all three systems. Fact is that most people who bought a Wii were the average Nintendo fanidiots who never question Nintendo or the technology put into a system so many of them were severely uninformed about its real lack of potential. Sales don't justify a system is worth a buy, its games do. And to that effect Nintendo has nothin...
Why on earth would HD-DVD fans brag about "better picture quality" when most of the HD-DVD consumers lack an HDTV. Fact is that most HD-DVD consumers are just uneducated about their purchase because they lack the necesary knowledge that the benefits of HD-DVD are only apparent on a full HDTV. Most HD-DVD owners are still on standard def. There is a much higher margin of HDTV and PS3 owners than there are HD-DVD standalone players and HDTV owners. HD-DVD is just a cheap substitute fo...
How do you suppose they get the love of hardcore gamers with sub-par graphics, crappy ass ports, and a broken controller? Anyone?
With the way sales of the 360 are going it seems that microsoft needs a 20 year lifespan in order for the 360 to top 100 million. I don't know but to me that is not satisfactory with both the PS1 and PS2 reaching past 100 million within 7 years. The fact is that most gamers, and I use the term to describe a gamer with libraries that are greater than 20 in a generation, are mostly just waiting on the PS3 pricedrop. Fact is that there is no concieveable reason to own a 360 simply because you ar...
This is not to attract kids or the average PS2 gamer. This will attract parents that don't want to shell out $250 when buying three of these as stocking stuffers will do the job fine and save some money when they already own a PS2. This $30 peripheral will sell big for last minute shoppers and people who could not get a wii. The Wii console is already in short supply but if I were them I would have plenty of these available so that it becomes a good second choice. Hell maybe customers will bu...
I noticed that you stopped posting news and in the forums. I think they were overzealous, like a lot of us were, but it seemed the more level headed people like you and I, well... we just stopped paying any attention.
I honestly am very underwhelmed by yet ANOTHER pokemon game that really changes nothing in terms of redoing the actual concept. I mean look at the game Dragon Quest Monster Joker. I had a blast with that game because it was just so refreshingly new in the way it was done. I mean it really was a shame how poorly the title sold in america and how it was criticized and judged in terms of pokemon being the par of such games. I think that as long as Nintendo is getting money for the same ol' crap ...
