Console war settled

[DannoMight]

i didn't do that...i wanted to but that's another $400 bones + accessories/controllers at the minimum. barely had enough time to play the ps3 games i have

i used to that when i was younger though.

had the turbographix 16, SNES and genesis
game gear + gameboy, then eventually got the nomad (genesis mini)
sega saturn, n64 and ps1
dreamcast, gamecube and then wayyyy later after it came out got a ps2

I mainly play madden on the ps3 online and use it for netflix and blu rays. I used to play a lot of 360 but bought the ps3 after i got the ring of death and was awaiting the repairs on the 360. The wii i just had to do it. Plus the kids love it. I also have a modded original xbox with every nintendo, snes, genesis, and a few n64 games and about 40 regular xbox games all stored in the HD. Yep I'm a nerd.

Hardly settled...I've been playing Ps3 for the last couple of weeks and while it has grown on me, the xbox 360 still beats it on everything but a couple of points.

did you finally get into the meat and potatoes of dragon age?

No... couldn't get into it, the graphics were terrible, I was really surprised about that.

Part of it was probably because I don't have time to get into a game like that anymore.

But I didn't like the controls at all, I really dislike the ps3 controller, I have heard plenty of people complain about it and didn't think too much of it. But once I tried it for myself...it really does need to be redesigned.

I have been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2, I like it, really good game, surprised its not more popular. I havent tried it online yet.

the online aspect is very poor compared to xbox 360.

I have both Xbox 360 Elite and PS3.

I have played the PS3 exactly twice since I got it last year. Rest of the time, I am playing on the Xbox.

aren't there more 360's sold than ps3's? I mean in the end that's what counts right? I guess that means the wii wins this round but so be it. We can wax on and on about which console is better....but in the end it's who's sold the most. The online subscriptions are, unfortunately, probably the new gold standard for console strength. I myself am not that into online gaming as I prefer the campaigns. Online multiplayer is fun but it gets old after a while. I like to be told a fucking great story.

By the way I have no personal vested interest in who wins the console wars as I have no current and future plans of owning any one of the current gen consoles. But I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that wouldn't mind seeing sony fold up and obliterated. I hate that company, I dislike microsoft too to some extent but not nearly as much as I hate sony. It would tickle me pink if Nintendo stomped both of them out of the market as I feel they've diluted the quality of games. You guys standards have been so lowered by those two companies that mediocre crap games get you all fired up. The old days were best.

And Nintendo's game quality has been anything close to exceptional this generation? lol even their "best" games are just more of the same with Metroid, Zelda and Mario Galaxy. And I don't consider running around on miniature planets from the latter to be anything revolutionary. That shit gave me a headache with the constantly rotating viewpoint.

Care to name 3 other games you consider high quality besides Half Life 2?

Games don't have to win a fricken Oscar to be considered fun man!
