That's fine and well. It still doesn't mean the PS3 lacks games, though. It's just not right for you.Simriel said:

Oh thank god. You make sense! Indigo_Dingo is the main culprit I know of this lack of understanding. I just don't enjoy the range of games offered by the PS3. I personally enjoy Western RPGs (Mass Effect and the like) and Non-Realistic shooters. Could you seriously recommend a PS3 to me?Pendragon9 said:
Well, I'd recommend an 80 GB Ps3. Or a 160 GB one. There's not really many other choices out there.Simriel said:
If you're looking for games, then I'd suggest Armored Core 4 and Armored Core: For Answer. Two of my favorite mech action games that are multiplat. The community is a bit bigger on the 360, but I thought you'd want to try those games anyway. Plus it's sort of a non realistic shooter, since it has giant robots and all.
I don't have the list of games you might like out, but I'd definitely delve a bit to see what's out there. I'm a big fan of the Ratchet and Clank games myself, and am awaiting the sequel.
YOu obviously misunderstand. Based on the kinds of games I enjoy, Western inspired RPGs and non realistic shooters, and based solely on exclusives, could you tell me I would get my moneys worth of games from a PS3 over an Xbox?Pendragon9 said:
Hmm... sadly I would have to say no. I'm not a fan of Western RPGs that much save for Oblivion, which is on most consoles. And I'm not sure what types of Non realistic shooters there are out there, so I wouldn't be able to recommend the Ps3 for those types of exclusives.Simriel said:
I'd say to hold onto that money until there were more games coming out. Or simply go on PC. (if you can afford it)
LEAVE PS3 ALONE! *sobs* ALL YOU CARE ABOUT is MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT! It's a CONSOLE! It went through an economic recession, it had bad launch titles! *sobs* LEAVE IT ALONE! PLEASE!
every system is good for a different reason, but i love my 360 and PSP the most.
the 360 is great because its got everything i need and has most if not all of the current generation of game releases set for it.
and the PSP is epic because i can play ANYTHING on the move, i have a modded psp and i love it. i can play NES, Commodore 64, Atari, Sega Genesis, MSX, TurboGrafx, GameBoy, Super Nes, N64, PSX, basically anything you can think of within reason, and it even has the Quake Engine ported to it, so i can mod the hell out of it and make my own games.
i've already managed to make a halfway decent remake of Goldeneye and Half-Life on my psp using Quake, but i don't think anyone else would appreciate it as much as i do.
and just so we're clear, the wii was fun, but its a gimmick that only lasts a short time, the ps3 looks great, but with the long wait for new games, i can't see myself paying 400 bucks for a blu-ray paperweight when regular dvd's look just as good, and the DS is good too, but once i'm done with the games, there really isn't much replayability.

if you think the ps2 is durable, try owning a gamecube.wordsmith said:
in fact, buy one just to see if you can break it, i think its only 20 bucks now.
mine has had milk poured on it, it been dropped from a 7 foot shelf in my hot-as-hell garage, and the lid has been chewed and ripped off by my dog, but the thing still works without a single flaw.
Can I have your games then?pantsoffdanceoff said:
OT: Last I checked, the PS2 was teh best selling console ever. I haven't checked, and I have no doubt it's now the Wii, but the PS2 was a great system, no shame in losing to it, unless you're supposed to replace it. Then there is a little shame.
I just stick with the good old Playstation 2.
There are way too many games I haven't played for it, and I can't afford to sell one of my balls and half the other one to buy a PS3 yet. I never really understood what's the big difference between the two consoles. Graphics look a bit better... what else? If I wanted to look at something pretty, I'd go outside and look at the sky.
... or not.

I think what a lot of people are failing to see is that if Sony doesn't get their shit together, there may not be any more exclusives, nor will there be a comeback in the next generation. The worldwide recession could knock them out cold if things don't turn around for them in another year or two. Sony is losing revenue all over the board, not only in the video game sector. They'll lose investors. Then they'll have to start charging for PSN (which I've read from some industry blogs might happen by the end of the year) and they'll lose the capital to invest into exclusives. That's a considerable amount of nails for their coffin. Huge companies are going under left and right in this economic recession. Don't think that a commodities company like Sony can avoid the fate shared by several auto makers this past month.
