PS3 General Discussion

Isn't that going both ways, VZ?

Anyhoo.. two weeks. Bills will be all paid up, finances will be steady, and tax return will be in hand. Ordered a couple more BD movies and a USB drive today, and that's it. Now I wait.
 
Going both ways? No, I don't fight in the "exclusive games" war. I just felt like pointing out the bias between when the Playstation 3 loses an "exclusive" title and when the Xbox 360 loses one. The reaction is quite different. It's doom and gloom for Sony and sloppy seconds for Microsoft.

edit:
Elder Scrolls IV, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, Ninja Gaiden, etc.? :sly:

Thanks Duck for the recommendation, I'll be picking up Saints Row on the PS3.
 
Oh noes! teh 360 is lozing exklusivez to tat ps3! teh w0rld is goin 2 END! :rolleyes:
I forgot to realise when Saints Row was an amazing gameplay experience on the same level of Grand Theft Auto 4.
I understand the point you were trying to make, but it didn't quite work correctly.

That's very true, too. The reactions swing both ways, depending on what side of the fence you're on. When you're straddling the fence and supporting both sides (i.e. owning both consoles), these arguments actually get pretty funny.

To be fair, if it was something like Mass Effect or Bioshock, you'd see shockwaves. However, we're talking about Saints freakin' Row. It's not a title to fight for.

And IIRC, you didn't see "doom and gloom" when KOEI said Bladestorm would be multiplatform.

Seconded. It is a former 360 exclusive, but it isn't a particularly good one.
 
Not as big as GTA4, Assassin's Creed, Fatal Inertia, Virtua Fighter, etc. :sly:


But seriously, just rent it when you get the chance. You'll thank me later.

Two games that were never intended to be exclusives, and one that no one cared about until it "wasn't" exclusive? Give me a break dude, seriously, at least think about what you write sometimes. The day's of the "exclusives" are dead. Don't be surprised when you see Bioshock on the PS3, or when you see the next Ninja Gaiden on PS3 as well.

I was hoping that the :sly: smilie would convey some sarcasm, but I guess I'm wrong...

No but what else is like Saints Row on PS3 and how many PS3 owners own 360's? Saints Row was not a bad game its very silimar to GTA and will give PS3 only owners a new option.

It may not be a bad game, but it's not exactly a good game either. Not something worth 60 smackers.

If anything, like I said before, rent it and/or wait for GTA4.

If you wanna be real technical about it; GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas (all of which are better games than Saints Row), GTA: Liberty City Stories (which is not), The Getaway (also better), The Getaway: Black Monday (also not better), The Simpsons Hit and Run (which is), Driv3r (not), Driver: Parallel Lines (not), Driver 2 (not, but close), Driver (not, but close), The Godfather (better), Scarface (better), Mafia (not so much better on the PS2), True Crime (better) and True Crime: New York City (about the same).
Saints Row sure as hell isn't anywhere near the top of the genre, regardless.
 
Um... on PS3? Saint Row is the only game like it for PS3, why bother with any game on the system if other games like it on other systems exsist?:indiff: Why bother with Resistance if Half-Life 2 is better? Why bother playing Madden 07 if Madden 05, NFL2K5, Madden 06 are better.
 
My case was if you dont own both systems. Miss that part? Or just bold part of my statement to make a point? I also said its an option, not to buy it or rent it but an option for either way.

Fine, I'll respond to your previous post to redirect and explain my point:
LaBounti
Why bother with Resistance if Half-Life 2 is better?
Because Half Life 2 can't be played on the PS3 in any way. GTA: Vice City, for example, can be; and is a far better game than Saints Row. That was my point. The fact that Saints Row is coming to the PS3 doesn't matter, because there are already far better games in the genre already playable on the system. It is a "who cares" sentiment more than anything else.
And now back to this:
LaBounti
Saint Row is the only game like it for PS3, why bother with any game on the system if other games like it on other systems exsist?
Your point about people who own multiple consoles is one of irrelevency, because there are PLENTY of games like Saints Row on the PS3 (which is the exact reason why I bolded the part I bolded). The first point being countered makes the piggy-backed second point useless. So, yes, I did bold that part of your post to make a point that the other part of your post was made a non-issue, because the first part was incorrect.
LaBounti
Why bother playing Madden 07 if Madden 05, NFL2K5, Madden 06 are better.
That is a very good question, though. Why play any Madden games made after 1994?
 
Saints Row was never that good, however the only good thing Saints Row is for, is renting out.
 
What was so not good or bad about Saints Row? The only knock it got from gaming editors was lack of orignality, thats pretty much it. the game its self is ok. X-plays reveiw was so focused on GTA they didn't share much on the actual game.

The cars handled bad, the story line was a bit short, but I still prefer the game play of GTA more.
 
The only thing I missed from Sanits Row was the auto-targeting system, so shooting was made a little harder. Other than that, I quite enjoyed it. Only I disliked how slow the cars went, even the supercars...

Roll on GTA4!

Backward compatibility.

They won't have the best graphics, but the gameplay of, say, San Andreas, would kick the snot out of Saints Row.

You don't. You wait until EA loses their NFL license and you buy ESPN NFL 2K10.
 
You hate Saints Row I get it, it's done.
And I said that when? I merely said that, on the PS3, there are far better games for your money in the exact same genre than there were when Saints Row came to the 360, making the fact that it is no longer exclusive about as relavent as what color socks you wear when you drive a car. On the 360, there was Saints Row. On the PS3, there is that entire list of games I just mentioned. I wouldn't think I would need to come out and say backwards compatability, as I figured it would have been a given.
So, again, as non-fanboyish as possible: When a game that anyone cares about comes out non-exclusive to the 360, call me.
 
I know the point you were making but to the person(s) that has/have played them all wold want to try a game like them but with better graphics? I never judged the game like you but i'm not going bash a game thats not as bad as someone says. A person that likes these types of games gave all those game you listes a chance regaurdles if someone (like your's and ducks opinion)thinks it sucks or not. All I'm saying is its an option.

Backward compatibility.

They won't have the best graphics, but the gameplay of, say, San Andreas, would kick the snot out of Saints Row.

The exact point i already made, you cant enjoy a game if all you do is compare it. Thats why Madden gamers hate the 2K games. I wasnt comapreing Saints Row to anything , I played the demo and was waiting for a significant price drop to pick it up. I ahve GTA SA and tryong something else doesn't hurt. I'm not defending SR just that I can't freely say somehting with out having someones opinons shoved down my throat.

Now I already understand people have their opinons but let the people who do care do their own reserch on the game and choose to buy it or rent it.

Some guy smashes a PS3 just for the hell of it!...... makes me wana cry..... but if you look the PS3 manages to hold together for quite afew hits of the sledgehammer..... shows its well made! A concrete block wouldnt have faired much better.....

Robin.....

I haven't watched the video (Youtube isn't working), but if you're talking about the SmashMyPS3 guys, that is oooold. And the people who smashed that PS3 also smashed a Wii and 360 on their launch days. And they even smashed an iPod.

And crying because you're seeing a game console getting smashed makes me want to cry. It's a freaking mass produced game console! It's not like it's the original painting of Mona Lisa getting burned to a crisp or the Statue of Liberty getting smashed to a pile of pebbles.
 
Doesnt make me cry. It makes me wonder why someone would waste 600 dollars just to break something. They are stupid. And if they smashed everything else too, what console do they favor?

Youtube is working for me now, yeah it is SmashMyPS3.

Well, they're not using their own money, per se, but the money from people who want to see a hot item smashed.

None. They do it for attention, and attention only.
