What about Blue Dragon? I still want to play that game...

From everything I have heard, it is not a system seller. Plus, RPGs aren't on the top of my list like they used to be.

Lost Odyssey is coming out tomorrow. Final Fantasy for 360 basically.
All the new ff's suck because the original people who made 1-9 are gone and did Lost Odyssey and some others.

If any console here has lost all reasons to buy because of features, exlusives, and services, it's Ps3. By FAR.
They lost all good exclusives, all they have to look forward to is metal gear now.

We got Assassins creed, UT3, GTA 4, DMC 4, and a few others from them.
Ps3 only has Home, which has yet to even come out, which is a dorky version of achievements and sims mixed.
Not only that, they lost all BC, and two console sizes already.

Microsoft has a great library, with the best online service and other great and easy features. It's a console worth buying, unless you have a high top computer. But I'd rather play on a machine that's roughly 350, then pay 1000's a year for the same shit, only a little better just to keep updated. :p

Microsoft has a great library because they just buy their way into anything that people like. Personally, I dislike most of what microsoft does other than Windows.

I don't give a shit about their ethics, as long as I get to play some good games.

Fucking ditto.

They're smart if anything. They're on top so I guess whatever they're doing is right, right?

I hate them with a passion, but they brought me the 360, so that's good.

[MondayHopscotch]

well i guess im on the other side, kinda -- i hate them (the gaming side of them) with a passion as well, which is also the reason im NOT ever going to buy a 360.

[Cyberxion]

Why? Any particular reason? Not that it matters I guess. I'm just curious.

Did they break into your house and like, kill your goldfish?

YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!!!!!

IT WAZZZZ UUU!!! 0_o

No really, they just piss me off.
They have terrible customer service, and their products are known to break easily or not work properly after you just paid a fortune for their "exclusive" products.
Just some other things they've done made me a tad pissed.
But, you have to admit, they do know how to make a good console - that is, when it doesn't break.
It's my favorite right next to Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 64! =]

i just hate how they work -- they let games develop over the years on nintendo and sony systems, then just buy the rights to the series once they get big, its bullshit.

Ahem, Suikoden.

Also, DWVI getting a 360 release instead of wii makes me annoyed. Stupid Nintendo.

They're smart. XD
They work like EA, which pisses me off, but it's smart.
And if they have the money, skill and business to do it, more power to them.

Ahem, Suikoden.

I want dynasty warriors 6. I haven't played since the 3rd because they're always the damn same, but I think after skipping 3 on now on next gen, it's worth a get.

Meh, Nintendo wouldn't have developed all those great series if they hadn't been heartless bastards back in the days, with the way they handled the third parties and whatnot.

Not that I'd ever get a 360.

NEW CUTSCENES AND CHARACTERS!!!

They removed a few for DWVI though. Lols.

[MondayHopscotch]

they are like a bad friend that lets YOU buy video games, then just borrows the good ones and forgets to return them. Dick move, microsoft...

Edit:

Mind me asking how they heartlessly bastardized said 3rd parties?

[Libra]

I hope I get LO in the next 2 days.

There is much more then MGS4 that I am anticipating for my PS3. Gran Turismo 5, more Naughty Dog and Insomniac games, Resistance 2, Killzone 2 (which I have been waiting for since well before the 2005 E3 trailer), Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus. You can't forget the exclusives that I have now that I am enjoying a lot such as Resistance, Uncharted, and Warhawk, and the multiplats such as UT3, Assassins Creed, Oblivion (The one we "stole").

Assassins Creed was never announced as PS3 exclusive except by the media because it was shown on PS3 first. UT3 was already going to PC so it was just as "exclusive" as any Xbox360 Blockbuster. GTA4 just happens to come out on both consoles at the same time rather then a few months apart. Both consoles are also getting their own exclusive content. DMC 4 is the only PS3 "exclusive" to go to the Xbox360, but Capcom is also releasing Lost Planet on PS3 to "make up for it."

I just want to know how you can have a "dorky" version of achievements. They also haven't lost all BC. You can just choose to pay less if you don't want to play PS2 games. But there are still models on the market with backwards compatibility, and Sony has also hinted at full software emulation in the future. Also, what do you mean by two console sizes?

I also failed to mention that at no extra cost, I can play online all I want, and watch high definition movies and upscale my old DVDs. I see the PS3 as the system with it all, and so does EGM in their latest issue.
