PS3...thoughts so far

Retro Hero said:
No no no, don't be ridiculous, Strubes! You have to be negative towards any upcoming PS3 game. Unless it's a rehash of a Gamecube game, or yet another FPS for the 360, then it's just not worth the hype!

Which PS3 games will be a 360 shooter or a Gamecube rehash? Am I missing something here?

Wander around the fourms. You'll see what he means.

This topic is being annoyingly civil. It puzzles me that some of you would slam the PS3 for lacking in games, but completely dismiss the lineup that's soon coming. Heaven forbid that the PS3 goes the way of the Dreamcast because of baseless negative comments.

I'm not the one who's slamming the PS3 though. I've been defending ti, saying it will start getting better games soon.

What is so baseless about the comments? I mean, it's not like people are saying "Sony sucks" just for the sake of fanboyism. In fact, most of us who are upset are big Sony fans, but we are simply stating our frustrations with Sony. And I would think we deserve an opinion, considering how much of our money has went to Sony. I also think people are still not understanding that it does not matter what the upcoming lineup of games is, because the console will still be too expensive. There's just simply no game/s that would make me or many others drop that kinda dough on a console. "Oh but X2, it has blu-ray that's why it's so expensive"....Now that's a baseless comment, IMO. It's like buying a plane ticket to LA, but having to pay a mandatory $100 more because you will also be flown to Montana, just cuz it's pretty and they think you should see it {ok bad analogy, but u get it}. I also have concerns over Sony's QC, seriously, most Sony products I have owned have malfunctioned. But I guess that's another whole issue in itself. So for now, my final verdicts on PS3...it's a flop.

I kinda half agree and half don't agree with that. I don't think its right that sony is making everyone who wants to buy the console go through Montana (continuing x2's analogy. Read his post if it makes no sense). They should make it an optional add on to go through Montana, like the 360 did with the HD-DVD. But, if the PS3 ca out with enough good games, the $600 would be worth it to me.

They had better be pumping out some good games then.
 
Well, I myself don't own a PlayStation 3 but my brother does. I've actually played quite a lot of and the four words that I have to describe it are... same old, same old.

These games, even if on PS2, would be considered average. And, even if they wouldn't be considered as such, what is basically the same thing is already available on the 360 along with other amazing EXCLUSIVE games (Gears of War to name just one).

Other than attracting ridiculous amounts of dust and getting fingerprints stuck all over it, the actually console is not very innovative. I'd describe it as a PSP which you can't move around.

As for Blu-ray, I don't even get why this aspect matters that much. If I wanted a Blu-ray player I would happily pay over the odds to get one. But, seeing as I don't, I don't one bundled in to my home console just to serve as a poor excuse to rocket up the price.

Here's hoping Sony's just holding out something amazing for the future. Otherwise, its tow competitors have already left it for dead. God of War II looks to be much better than any of the PS3 launch line-up. So yea, you can play it on PS3. But you can also play without spending a ridiculous amount of money with a much cheaper PS2.
 
X2, you're right. Nobody is saying things like "Sony sucks." But the comments have been more or less "the PS3 is garbage."

I am just saying this: Look at the Dreamcast. Did it have crazy awesome games at launch? No. Did it start getting good solid games after? Yes. Was it crazy powerful for the time? Yes. Was it doomed to fail because a lot of people complained about the selection of games at launch? Yes. Why? Because developers will jump ship if popular opinion suggests that a console is unpopular. Should the PS3 be considered an "unpopular" console? By no means!! If a gamer is unbiased he/she will be patient and see what games are coming out to warrant the price of the PS3.

That's EXACTLY what I'm gonna do.
 
I would even go as far as to say the PS2 had lousy launch games with the exception of Tekken Tag Tournament.

The great Final Fantasy X didn't come out until late 2001, and truly amazing games like Dragon Quest VIII and Shadow of the Colosuss didn't hit shelves until 2005-2006!

So like I said, if we're in 2008 and there's still no great games, I will agree that the PS3 is garbage, but acting like the console has the spiritual manifestations of Satan, Hitler and Saddam Hussain living inside it just because there are no great games 5 Months after launch (only about 3 weeks in the UK) is too drastic, in my opinion.

Wait, there IS Oblivion, which is nice if you don't own it on PC.

Thank you thank you thank you. It's about time someone with rationality replies. I don't think you're reading things the whole way through Dart. You've made up this theory that I hate the PS3 and all this jazz. It's just not true. I'd say read through my whole post, rather than accusing me of trashing the PS3. :)
 
But, Oblivion isn't exclusive. Exclusive games make or break the console in my opinion, they are why one would pick a console over another.
 
...But for someone who chooses the PS3 as their console, Oblivion is a great game for them to own. Heard it runs better on the PS3 too. ;)

I have read things through. I just have been directing my conversation more towards you because you have presented your case more thoroughly on why you think the PS3 isn't living up to the hype. Not because I think you hate Sony. And since you have presented your case so well, I have felt the need to give rebuttal arguments. Simple conversation/debate is what I assumed we were having.

In saying that, I am not in any way discounting the replies of the other members in this topic. It's just easier for me to direct my conversation to one individual when it comes to simple debate.

Now, tap gloves, keep it clean and break!! :D

Aha, fair enough :p. I was thinking since you brought up the PS3 thing in another thread, that you were holding a grudge or something. :lol Break! :D

@ Retro...yea..It runs smoother...or so they say. I've seen it on the 360 and the PS3...you really don't notice the difference. Also, are you saying people would choose the PS3 for their console because of Oblivion...or just that it's a great game to have for it if they chose the system, period? Oblivion runs great on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. I agree with Spartan that exclusive titles are the backbone of any console.
 
Nah Strubes. I was just busting your chops on the other thread merely for comedic reasons. :D

I think Retro was saying that if you have or want a PS3, then you can also get Oblivion to get you by until the title selection goes up.
