I have my old atari 2600/nes/genisis/snes/dreamcast/n64 still all connected to my old bigscreen in my recroom ... i love games ... i'm not a graphics whore...but when i watch a movie... i want my HDTV and surround system to be used to its full capacityKiutu said:
basically people have spent X amount on a games console and feel the need to shout about how they made the right choice too people that didnt make the same one forgettin this is entirely opinion based ... in a way it has similarities to religion but less extreme
both consoles are good so you made a good choice on your purchase may have been expensive but worth every penny or cent or wherever you come from hahaha
so if you all ( meaning fanboys of their respected consoles ) would sit back and just think about it the Console War is inevitably pointless because even if X console wins all thats proving is the majority of people like X console more....doesnt mean its any better. make sense??
no!
thought not continue on your stupid arguements then wonder why gamers get such bad coverage on the news

I have met plenty of Blu-Ray loving grahpic whores, but does not mean all are, and I rarely watch movies anyways. I see it in theaters once and am good aside from a few I really love, such as Star Wars, or amazing movies like Seven and American Beauty. And a DvD is fine.HuddledMass said:
You know, I've seen really more vocal 360 and Wii hatred on these boards than PS3 hate. I own a PC, 360 and am a new-fangled owner of a Wii but really see no reason to get a PS3. All of my friends play with 360s (the party system is awesome, and in games like SF4 there are more folks to play against) and really, there aren't really that many exclusives on the PS3 that currently interest me.
Know your hardware, kids.
And killing the only open gaming platform around would have dire consequences.
In fact, there's plenty to fault with games today. You say we should read books if we want a storyline but games today really resemble movies much more than they did before. We have hours of cutscenes in our games that tell shittier stories than games before did. And I understand the concept of not wanting to frustrate the player. It's when you start getting games like Bioshock where the hard difficulty doesn't even begin to challenge the player or games like Prince of Persia where you don't even get to select a harder difficulty... well, you get games where just going through the motions and there's really no advanced thought to it.
We had a boatload of games in the 80s and early 90s that had bad game balance slanted heavily towards the retarded AI. Now we've reached the other end of the spectrum where even the hard difficulty on the games feels like a tutorial for the actual game. Mind you, I have no problem with games taking it easy on players if they want to, since that's what the easy mode is for after all, but if there's a minotaur with a huge axe then by god I want to be able to select a difficulty where getting hit by that axe actually hurts.
There's a reason why games like Spelunky and Izuna have been so refreshing lately.
You know, the 360 hardware is actually much closer to the PS3 hardware than PC hardware.Wargamer said:

There are plenty of old games that are just excellently crafted that have stood the test of time. A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Super Mario World, Monkey Islands, Diablo 2, Starcraft and many many more. A mediocre game back then might be a bad game now but a good game is always a good game. For example, the last two games on that list are played actively to this day. That enough should be proof enough about their quality. I hadn't even played A Link to the Past before it was released on Virtual Console but I loved to bits. More so than current Zeldas.Mazty said:

This actually bothers me: the sort of zombified irrational loyalty I usually associate with Rush Limbaugh fans.Goldbling said:
If my Wii bricked TWICE, I would've shit in the slot and sent it back to Reggie. By showing MS that you're willing to put up with such poor hardware, they're not going to make any sort of effort to tighten things up in the future.
It makes me wonder how the hell Greg Zeschuck (Dragon Age Origins) says that "video game consumers are some of the smartest." Where the hell did he get that from?
Gee, that was an original insult. Did you think that one up all by yourself? Good little fanboy. Here, have a doggie biscuit. (pats woundingisfun on the head)Woundingisfun said:
WOW YA RLY THINK SO?! I LOVE DOG BISCUITS, THANK YOU! <3miracleofsound said:
It's not the insult in itself that's original, but the way it's layn up, and you placed it right in front of the goal.
Yes, your eloquence and humour astound me. Bill Hicks would be jealous if he were here to witness such ferocious wit.Woundingisfun said:
Yes, and I can see you are a big fan of sarcastic humor as well. Good for you. But let's not screw the thread up all the way. When you don't remember what it was the topic was about there is something wrong. I like the PS3, and it is the only gamestation I need in this gen except my computer.
I hate the PS3 because IT KILLED MY FATHER!!!!
nah, just kidding. I dont hate it, its just that its expensive, and doesnt have very many games, or at least many of those I'm interested in.

I hate it because it costs
Seven hundred pounds
SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS
OH DEAR GOD, SEVEN HUNDRED POOOOOOOOOOOOOUNDS!

And if you read my previous posts you would see that I have a 360 and a PS2, both of which I love, and my definition of screwing up the thread would be indulging fanboy urges to slag off other console owners, as you did in your long post on the last page.Woundingisfun said:
I don't know why people hate the PS3. I hate the fact that I can't afford one! But when God of War 3 comes out I will starve for a week or two so I can get it.
I do not have an opinion as to the technical specifications of either unit. I own a Xbox 360 because it was cheaper at the time. My question is what makes the 360 technically better. I am not trying to pick a fight only ask that you expound a little about the reasons for its superiority.hannahdonno said:
