PS3

[Big Gulp]

It's probably too hard for you, though.

'Nuff said.  I don't react well to frustration.  I like my fun tubes heavily greased, thankyouverymuch.

[Yegolev]

It's a great game, but the fact that you will die in the intro might irritate you.  It's one of those games where the player has to skill up to get anywhere.  I'm all about fun these days, and even fishing in Animal Crossing stresses me out.

[schild]

Even if you don't die in the intro, a dragon punches you in the face and kills you to make sure you die.

It's pretty much the game I use to define whether people game for fun or game as a cathartic hobby these days.

Of all the millions of crazy things you've said about the game, this one has probably guaranteed my purchase.

[Yegolev]

You know, the things he says about the game are not actually crazy.  He does froth a lot but he keeps to the facts.

I'm saving this game for when I don't have a job.

[Rasix]

Heh, I played Dragon Souls for about 30 minutes yesterday after not playing for months.  Got stomped repeatedly.  It really is a game that you get drastically better at the more you play. 

Unfortunately the baby woke up and I had to leave a corpse with 5000 or so souls on it.

I'm going to second this, nothing on here has been a lie or over exaggerated. The game is truly phenominal and you only die because you suck.

I dont think I would take back the ps3, mostly, because I think that felling you have, is the 360 huge slow ass controller withdraw.

Getting ready to go right now.  Honestly, there's one exclusive game that I bought that was fantastic, and that was Uncharted.  Unfortunately it's not exactly a game with shitloads of replayability.  Sorry, but $300 for one really fantastic game isn't worth it to me.

[Rasix]

You're more of a Madden/Halo type anyhow.

This is the main reason I don't boot it up now.  I'd like to make some progress but I know that I'll just spend hours trying to not die in the beginning area.  No, not right now.

I was thinking the same thing.  Untraining yourself from the 360 controller might be hard.  Usually there are sliders to change stick sensitivity in game options, so I was thinking it must be the stick placement, grip size and convex caps.

I'd also like to ask BG what was wrong with inFamous?  Not that it matters, just curious.

As for $300 for a console, I suppose you have to consider how many times you are expected to pony up for a replacement.

[schild]

I don't think it's worth trying to convince him otherwise. He's going to end up buying it again after reams and reams of shit comes out for it, but we can just wait til that happens to post nelson_haha.gif.

[Yegolev]

It's a toss up between that and his next RROD.

[Cyrrex]

[Yegolev]

Bah, I've left that much and more laying around and can't blame anyone except myself: couldn't get back to where I died.

[Cyrrex]

 

I'll try again.

Unfortunately the baby woke up and I had to leave a corpse ...

[Yegolev]

When you start talking about something other than games, I can be slow to notice.

[Rasix]

I can assure you there was no infanticide.  I thought I was being rather clear within the whole new father/Demon's Souls framework.

I could have sworn there were more games than three on the PS3. 

[Yegolev]

Not sure about more than three exclusives, but I haven't paid much attention since I decided to buy everything on PS3 from now on.

Let's see, there's Demon's Souls, Disgaea 3, some Bluray variant of any God of War, Gran Turismo 5 (whenever that materializes), infamous (apparently subject to opinion), LittleBigPlanet (YMMFVAL), Metal Gear Solid 4, ModNation Racers (next year), Ratchet & Clank Future series, Siren: Blood Curse (if you like that sort of thing), Uncharted 1+2 (I have confidence), and Valkyria Chronicles.  I don't know if White Knight Chronicles (early 2010) will be any good, but hey, Level 5.

[Trippy]

schild's recommendations are on the Wiki:

[Yegolev]

He doesn't have Ratchet & Clank so his relevancy is called into question.

[fuser]

Just found out the other night that the last GT5:Prologue patch ate my saved file

[Velorath]

He doesn't have Ratchet & Clank so his relevancy is called into question.

Especially since he has Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, and  Heavenly Sword on there.  Maybe that acceptable back when the PS3 was new and there still weren't a lot of games out, but I can't imagine recommending those to anybody now.

[Big Gulp]

I don't think it's worth trying to convince him otherwise. He's going to end up buying it again after reams and reams of shit comes out for it, but we can just wait til that happens to post nelson_haha.gif.

Why?  If and when they've got more games that I actually want then I'll buy the system again.  What, do you think the system will get more expensive by then?  What exactly have I lost?

[AutomaticZen]

I find the 360's sticks superior as well, but the PS3 controller is a better general purpose controller.

Either way, I only paid under $250, so I'm satisfied.  I'll probably trade up to the Slim at some point, but no rush.  Uncharted, Infamous, and Disgaea 3 were worth the purchase, and Sony's E3 showing is what made me take the plunge anyways.

[Rasix]

I didn't detect any weeaboo in Demon's Souls, but I might not be trustable either.  It's probably too hard for you, though.

Heh, ate lunch with one of the few "gamer" types at work.  When I said the game was from Japan, he immediately started in with the JRPG cliche critiques.

Then when I said it was hard, and explained some of the difficulty, he immediately dismissed it.  When I said it was difficult, but you get better and really get into it, he dismissed that as well.  People don't want to get better at games any more, I think they expect Fable 2/Halo level of difficulty so they can feel good about trouncing shit AI and uninspired level design.

If I can tollerate it, it really isn't that bad. I couldn't even finish Super Mario Galaxy, which both my brother-in-law and 11 year old nephew manged to (last level frustrated me a bit too much).

There's really nothing wrong with either of those games. It's not like we're talking about shit like Lair.

Would you really recommend either of those games to anybody at this point?  Especially considering Heavenly Sword is still pretty much full price at places like Amazon?

[schild]

Heavenly Sword? Sure. I would. I enjoyed the shit out of it. Genji 2 though? Not so much. Lair? Not so much. Dynasty Warriors Gundam? Sure, 1 or 2. But I'd say they're both cheating bastards of games and overly hard unless you start at a lower difficulty.

[Ard]

Fuck you, I liked Lair.

I'd also recommend Heavenly Sword to people, so my taste might be in question.

[schild]

Your taste is far more in question due to Lair than Heavenly Sword.

Heavenly Sword is worth playing just for the voice-acting of the "bad guys" if nothing else. Also, they did a nice job with her hair (most of the time).

[Salamok]

Also, they did a nice job with her hair (most of the time).

That is exactly what I look for in a game! 

[schild]

That was a not so veiled jab at the thread that is currently about hair.

You know, I'm almost the exact opposite. Especially because when I read review sites that do a head to head I almost always see something like "oddly, the PS3 version had more slowdown/graphical issues/other technical bugs than the 360 version." I just finally decided that for whatever reasons alot of devs have more problems with the PS3. I suspect it's something akin to the issues the Sega Saturn had: the architecture is just hard to program for.
