BTW, that video you posted, firefox, is a CGI presentation of how it plays.

It's not the actual game...

WTF with the picture?

He must have just bought a 360 or a Wii and realized what a waste of his hard earned dollars it was.

And I know about the CGI. I couldn't find a gameplay video. But the screenshot is supposedly in-game.

It's not about what it's looking forward to. It's about what exclusives it has, which are: Halo 3, Gears of War, the Orange Box (Half Life 2+Episode 1/2+Team Fortress 2+Portal), just to name a few.

We of the white box of doom do tend to exaggerate

But the following is true: The Xbox is Superior

1. The Xbox's Graphics Card (Xenos) is better than the RSX in PS3's, even though the RSX has a higher mhz, this is due to the unified shader architecture of the Xenos, it is also due to the fact that Nvidia, while designing the RSX, took one of their consumer cards and modified it only slightly, while the Xenos is based off of a different architecture than their consumer cards.

2. The PS3's Cell Broadband Engine, while being theoretically superior to the Xenon processor, is extremely hard to code for. Although the more time passes the more power programmers can extract from it.

3. The Xbox is also better in the fact that their are more good games for it than the PS3, Microsoft learned from the war between Xbox and PS2 that better hardware does not equal sales. Sony made that mistake with the PS3 and is now paying for it exactly as Microsoft did.

4. Xbox Live is also superior to PSN, even if it is pay-for, notice how you cannot talk to people outside your game in PSN like you can with Xbox Live, although both services have stolen ideas from the Wii (avatars anyone?).

5. While the PS3 does tend to be more reliable than the Xbox, it still does overheat more often. Also the problems with the Xbox have been largely fixed, almost no new consoles get Red Ringed, although the new focus is on the DVD drive scratching discs.

6. The PS3 is heavily overpriced, their base model is as expensive as the Xbox top model, which would you like, a $400 with only 60GB or a $400 with 120GB, or if you don't care about harddrive size a $300 with 60GB

Think About It People

PS3's have a failure rate of 0.2%, 360's was once at 68% and is still around 10% or 16%.
If you bought all the things for the 360 that the PS3 comes with standard, it would cost as much as or even more than a PS3.
The PS3's lineup of games is easily catching up, if not passing the 360.
PS3 has constant updates which is always updating PSN, this most recent one added Text Chat, where up to 15 people can be in a chat room. Even during a game.

I'm not sure what PSN is like, but looking at past experience, Microsoft does a better job with their online gaming.

Past experience with what? You are not sure what it is like but you are going off of your past experience with it?
Or are you just talking about how you read this online? Of course Microsoft's service is better. Nobody wants to feel ripped off. But as of right now, PSN is fine for me. I have had far more connection problems with the 360 than I do now with my PS3. And I don't even own one. I have never had an issue with Killzone 2, or Call of Duty, or anything.

I was referring to Playstation 2, since I have used that online.

What?
And I've never had any sort of connection problem with my 360, and it's always online.

That one made me laugh. And don't say Killzone 2, Resistance 2, or MGS4. Those are three titles. THREE.

That one also made me laugh. NO WAY! TEXT CHAT! It's WAAAAY better than using a microphone!

But yeah. Fail.

1. Thank you for naming three that easily beat most Xbox 360 titles. Let me continue.
Little Big Planet, Heavenly Sword, Resistance 1, Motorstorm 1 and 2, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Grand Turismo 5 Prologue.
And then there are the games that will also be better when they come out: inFamous, Grand Turismo 5, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Demon's Soul, MAG, Quantum Theory, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Under Siege, Wardevil: Unleash the Beast Within, White Knigh Chronicles. X-Edge, Yakuza 3, The Punisher: No Mercy.

PS3 has SIX AAA tiles to Xbox 360's THREE

So to argue on a level you understand.
PS3 Wins, Xbox 360 fails.

Thank you and good night.

Gears of War is incredibly simple and repetitive. The sequel added nothing new but the ability to stick your chainsaw in their asses. Halo 3 is hated by more people than the three PS3 games you listed combined. And what *millions* of xbox games are people talking about if people only talk about those three that you mentioned?

Which means you obviously never played it.

You're right! You've got updated weapons, new weapons entirely, a whole new campaign, new game modes (including Horde), and the ability to play with bots. It's basically the same game twice. I agree 100%.

Halo 3 is hated by more people than the three PS3 games you listed combined.
That's like saying World of Warcraft sucks.

And what *millions* of xbox games are people talking about if people only talk about those three that you mentioned?
Those are the only Xbox 360 exclusives worth mentioning. If you want me to compare shared titles, then that would be a whole nother' story which ends with Xbox 360 coming out on top.

lol, how did we go from exclusives to shared titles with marginally better graphics? I asked you to name exclusives multiple times and you keep changing the subject.

I have played both Gears multiple time, and did not find them to be as nearly as exciting as everyone was raving about. I'm not saying they are bad, just overhyped, but not to the extent of Halo 3. New crap is still crap. And WoW does suck, there is just nothing better at the moment. Just because everyone plays it does not make it good.

If everyone is playing baseball, but you like basketball and hate baseball, are you going to be the only one on the courts, or are you going to go out to the field?

I'm not sure. You said something about millions of Xbox titles... I dunno, your previous post was retarded.

I DID name the best Xbox exclusives.
I have played both Gears multiple time, and did not find them to be as nearly as exciting as everyone was raving about.
That's because you probably haven't played it. The Gears of War games are excellent shooters.
I'm not saying they are bad, just overhyped, but not to the extent of Halo 3. New crap is still crap.
You either have a terrible taste in games, or you just haven't played any of the games in the series. I'm guessing it's both.
And WoW does suck, there is just nothing better at the moment.
If World of Warcraft sucks so much, how come many people play it?
Just because everyone plays it does not make it good.
Actually, it does. If the game sucked, nobody would be playing it. Even as we argue, millions of people are playing it at the same time... And that's the truth.
If everyone is playing baseball, but you like basketball and hate baseball, are you going to be the only one on the courts, or are you going to go out to the field?
That statement only helps my argument. If the game in question is World of Warcraft, you'd probably hit it up with your friends because you'd want to fit in with them.

I'd like to point out Fable 2, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and Lost and Damned.

You seem to have a problem understanding that your opinion is not fact. This is an entirely subjective topic, so please discuss with that in mind.

What is "bad taste"?

-------------------------

I'd also like to say that the games you guys are talking about are all great games. The only reason you guys are arguing is because you both own different systems, and for some reason, want yours to be considered "better". Be glad you own at least one gaming system, most kids don't have one.

Yes, name some.

Yes, and nothng else. So is there nothing else worth mentioning?

I have played both of them. For the second time, I did not say they were horrible. All you keep saying is that they are great. Why?
You either have a terrible taste in games, or you just haven't played any of the games in the series. Im guessing it's both.
I have played all of them, and me and many others have found them to be incredibly overhyped beyond reason. You don't look beyond the mindless killing. The Halo series could have been so much more, but instead they focused on the mundane. What do you do besides shoot things. Oh yes. You shoot some more things. By the end of the game it just gets so damn boring because you've been doing the same exact thing throughout.
If World of Warcraft sucks so much, how come many people play it?
Once again, because there is nothing to play that everyone else is. You keep repeating the same thing over and over, making less sense each time around.
Actually, it does. If the game sucked, nobody would be playing it. Even as we argue, millions of people are playing it at the same time... And that's the truth.
WoW, it makes you feel good when you finally take down that boss, or complete that quest. But it does almost nothing new or exciting in gaming perspective. You sit there for hours and hours clicking on things. WOOOOOOOOOOOOW That's brilliant! But the things is, it does almost nothing new. Looking from a technological view WoW is horrible. It uses basically the same engine as WC3, the only thing they did was shift the focus from controlling an army to controlling a hero. Look at WC3: WoW. That's practically going to do the same thing, except it will be free. WoW is fun and entertaining, but it is not a great game. Just something to pass the time.
That statement only helps my argument. If the game in question is World of Warcraft, you'd probably hit it up with your friends because you'd want to fit in with them.
That doesn't mean you would enjoy it. You would do it just to fit in, not because you wanted to, or the thing in question was any good.

Now enough about WoW, The Official Playstation 3 Exclusives list for 2009 Beat that.

Twilight Princess is also pretty mature. A lot of it's scenes are very dark and gritty... like when you meet the light spirit of Lake Hylia. Preeeetty creepy cutscene that was.

Hey, hey, hey! Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Twilight Princess are WICKED games. They don't need to be mature to be awesome.

Yeah, so you don't consider Red Ring of Death an overheat situation?

Actually the Red ring is a General Hardware Failure, just the famous one is caused by crap soldering and not enough screws.

Basically the motherboard warps and disconnects the GPU solders, it can be fixed but you have to be very careful.

It can happen at low temperatures too

Alot of those PS3 exclusives are crap:

Atelier Rorona: Greatttt more RPG's
Demon's Souls: Fable 2 Copy anyone?
EyePet: Your Virtual Pet: Need I even explain
Katamari Damacy Tribute: Would be better on the Wii
MAG: from the creators of the online phenomenon SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs A.K.A. Worst. COD Clone. Ever.
Under Siege: A mix of Halo Wars and Spore, I wonder how that will turn out
White Knight Chronicles: Japaninized Master Chief in an RPG :O
X-Edge: Realllllly looks like it's on a DS
Fat Princess: Think, teamwork with a bunch of whining 9 year olds "helping" you
Flower: Congrats, PS3's are now viable for retirement centers
Noby Noby Boy: Snake IN 3D
The Punisher: No Mercy: How many comic book games do they have to release before they relize THEY'RE CRAP
Ragdoll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic: I think Ill stick with Street Fighter
Savage Moon: HEY, THEY COPIN OUR TD'S :mad:
L.A. Noire: Oooooooo ima detective, go back to Crosswords nublets

Also for inFamous, anyone remember CrackDown?

Only Ones I Would Get:
God of War III
Killzone 2
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Uncharted 2: Among Theives
Twisted Metal (might actually buy a PS3 for this one)



Also, Halo 3 could use inprovment *cough* XYZ Forge w/ snap *cough*

Although I believe you should also want to get a PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4.

Stop saying that. No way will that actually make this any better.

I)eadnerzhul has some good opinion but he also has some very ignorant (I don't really blame em) opinions.

Atelier Rorona: Greatttt more RPG's

Wow, and you don't think your console has more obsolete RPGs?

Demon's Souls: Fable 2 Copy anyone?

And your point is? That they copy-pasted Fable into a blu ray disc and sold it as another product?

EyePet: Your Virtual Pet: Need I even explain

Yes, please do explain the problem in this game. What ever happened to the idea that kids want to play games? And the idea behind this game is quite interesting. Something you can't say is simple bs.

MAG: from the creators of the online phenomenon SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs A.K.A. Worst. COD Clone. Ever.

Omg. You're calling SOCOM a COD clone? First of all, it's a third person shooter. Second, it's not even a run and gun kind of game. Third, you're a ignorant dumbass for thinking this is a COD clone. The last two games of Zipper Interactive did fall behind the rankings compared to Socom 1 and 2, but that's because they had a dead line. They were pressured to release games in a year ever since Sony bought them. So you'd know how that would turn out.

The newest SOCOM is not a Zipper Interactive product. It is made by Slant Six who also made Socom: Tactical Strike which was impressive but lacked intelligent AI. Their new Socom was also rushed by a dead line and got low scores for the bugs in the game. But, the scores were raised from C- to B+ after a patch was released.

MAG is going to be different this time. MAG will no longer be SOCOM. MAG won't have a dead line. And MAG won't be rushed.

Under Siege: A mix of Halo Wars and Spore, I wonder how that will turn out

Well thank god you didn't start putting out an opinion on a game that barely has any frigging info. Also, why the hell are you putting in downloadable PSN games?

White Knight Chronicles: Japaninized Master Chief in an RPG :O

Will you stop thinking that everything PS3 is a copy cat?

Fat Princess: Think, teamwork with a bunch of whining 9 year olds "helping" you

Then don't play a game for 9 year olds.

Flower: Congrats, PS3's are now viable for retirement centers

No, they're just expanding the titles to different kinds of people. I know that you know that every game doesn't have to have some sort of masculinity present.

Savage Moon: HEY, THEY COPIN OUR TD'S :mad:

Hey Hey! they're copin our socom! Damn GoW bastards. <<< See how inaccurate that was? Well, your response is just the same.

L.A. Noire: Oooooooo ima detective, go back to Crosswords nublets

Just like what I said. Expanding titles to different types of people or preferences.


God of War III
Killzone 2
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Uncharted 2: Among Theives
Twisted Metal

^^^ Those are quite alot of titles that are quality.
