Saving up for a new gaming system.....

Normally no...mostly because I find them all boring and the same. There's still a few I like 😛 COD4 I got to try out a while ago (yay for doing events at my work and stuff) and actually did like it a lot.

And I know 😛

Or it just was an extremely flawed game from the very beginning (none of that "it wasn't as good because of the ending" garbage, please).

And a game should be able to draw you in from the very start. It didn't do that.

Really, if I'm going to be playing that sort of RPG, I'd rather actually be roleplaying it instead of playing a video game 😛

😛

I certainly didn't feel it was crap. Instant action? Instant assassination? Awesome. 😛

I never got into KOTOR either, but I absolutely loved Mass Effect, it got me hooked immediately and beat it twice in less than a week.

And what's great is, even for someone who may not be great at the genre, you can still get rewarded and level up at a decent rate, as you get EXP win or less at the end of the match.

I do wish there was co-op in COD4, though.

Co-op would be nice...still wish they'd done that for Bioshock.

I'm trying to play Oblivion at the moment. Overall I find it fairly boring and tedious with some moments of fun. I do like sniping things while on top of rocks, but getting from place to place is so damn boring unless you teleport but then you lose chances to level up and blah.

Leveling up in Oblivion is kinda worthless. I've heard people who have said that the game actually got more difficult and annoying as you leveled up, since everyone else levels up with you.

For some reason I've always hated when games have that sort of system. It just makes so much of it completely pointless...and sometimes it's fun to go back to an easier area and just beat the shit out of things.

Any game/movie/thing with Keith David = AWESOME. That's a fact. 😉

Yes, I've never been a fan of it either.

I like Creed too, but I do agree, it gets repetitive fast. I like the ability to free-roam/kill random guards/do whatever you want more than I like the storyline. 😛

AC is good, too. Nowhere near as good as promised, but better than what some have said....

BTW, played Blue Dragon at all?

Oh, and today at work, we put together the standee for Lost Odyssey...which has a stickynote on the back with my name on it...

This needs to be moved...

You put the stickynote there?

Nobody 'respects' the PS3, it's a ****ing joke.

Maybe in another year or two it'll be worth the huge pricetag, but right now the games don't in any way justify it.

Really, the only reason I'd get it is for FFXIII. And for that...well...still got a couple of years.

A LOT of games were going to be PS3 exclusive that aren't anymore. DMC4, Assassin's Creed, GTAIV just to name a small handful...

And GTA would definitely have been a system-seller. But instead, look at it, delayed because the PS3 is so damn hard to work with...

No, I've not played Blue Dragon. I heard it wasn't so great.

Hmmm, personally I like it a lot. It's rather FF-styled, art looks like Dragon Quest, and I find it a lot of fun. Pretty much everyone I know who likes FF likes it. Plus it does some really neat things with combat.

YOU are the one I should be listening to. Here is what is important to me: I want the system that has the widest selection of games, the best SW games, best prices on said games. I will also use the system to watch DVD's, so whichever one is more reliable aas a DVD player. Price on the system is also a factor, durh. 😉

360 definitely has the widest selection. SW games, if the current trend keeps up, are all cross-platform. Right now my siblings are using my 360 to watch a movie. The prices on new games for both PS3 and the 360 are usually $60. 360 has better online but you have to pay for it. PS3 does blu-ray; the 360 has an HD-DVD player but it's an addon that costs $180, so you'd need to buy that separately if you want to do HD movies. On the flip side, though, since it's not built in it doesn't drive up the price.

And most importantly, any version of the 360 you buy will be the same base thing with different addons (harddrive size mostly), and are all upgradable, so you could start out with the cheapest version and end up with it having as much stuff as the Elite, minus the color. You can't do that with the PS3. Plus, the 40GB PS3 has absolutely ZERO backwards compatability (will never play PS2 or PS1 games) and the 80GB one has only limited BC.

Really, the 360 is the stronger system by a longshot. If you're looking to get a PS3, I would really highly recommend you wait another year. Or if you really are set on a PS3, try and track down a 60GB because that's the best version of it.

Damn straight.

I've heard the story was the weakest part of Blue Dragon, what's your take on that?
