What's with games going to different consoles while their tags say "Only on"?

Fair enough, stealth games aren't for everybody. Personally I thought they weren't for me after playing Splinter Cell and wanting to die...but MGS4 did kinda change my mind.

Fable was still pretty sweet.

Yeah, I guess "massive letdown" was probably a bit extreme, but there were a lot of unfinished, redundant plot bits/side quests....like the Mayor of Bowerstone? (I think thats the one, the chick who you can marry or hit on or something) and you go find her dead sister in a haunted house. Once that mission ended, you couldnt actually do anything with it, the mayor didn't acknowledge that you took part in that quest or anything.

I liked slowing down time and zapping the crap out of everyone with lightning, that was fun.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, I mean you could either marry her and hide that she killed her sister or let her face the law, which then would kill her. Either way, that quest was kinda done...was long enough anyways. Or do you mean that you couldn't marry her and also blackmail her at the same time?

It's not even that it's stealth. It's just that there's something about the games that I don't like. I can see why other people like them (unlike Halo, where I really don't get the hype), I just personally find them massively overrated.

Fair enough, I don't actually understand why anyone likes Super Smash Bros Brawl, I guess that is similar.

Hmm...I cant remember, havent played it for years haha. I might have finished the main quest or something before doing that side mission so it might not have actually mattered anymore. But yeah, they needed a few more open ended options.

I agree that it shoul have been bigger, but I can't think of any comparable game at all, so I am happy with that.

Also maybe randomizing loot stats, its no fun buying the best weapon in the game right after you win the Arena and become basically the richest person in the game.

Personally I had most of the best stuff already by then. That first minigame (memory I think), was just so easy that you just had to spend some time making millions.

Fable 1 was awesome. I have yet to play a game with as much replay value, the only game which came close was Final Fantasy Tactics.

On my second playthrough and onward, I aquired every item in the game.

On topic, it looks like Sony is jumping on the "only on" bandwagon.....

...and also a PSN logo, just like Microsoft and Nintendo promote their online games. lol

it was only a matter of time.

atleast we know Resistance will never jump ship

I remember when the same thing was said about FFXIII.

Unlike FFXIII(published by Square Enix), Resistance is published by Sony, and developed by a close developer.

then you get your resistance, which is completely original in every way and in no way shape or form a copy of other games.

if the reviews are great, then i will. I mean who has ever heard of an alien invasion twist on WWII?? 😄

WWII - COD/MOH/practically every war time game
Aliens - Gears of War/halo 3/Timesplitters/Half Life 2

New ideas....well nevermind i guess...i mean Wolfenstein never tried something similar.

New ideas are in short supply. Theyre all at the Wii, De Blob, Ninja Bread Man, Cooking Mama.

dear god, I thought I'd never see that... 😄

... no, honestly. I did thought I'd never see that, shame SONY

on the other hand, they've always promote online capable games on the covers, they're just using the PSN tag now
