thaddius' Console Classic 2012 Edition: Round 11

[raulpica]

If you find the PS3 or the 360 lacking in exclusive titles then you are unfamiliar with their libraries.

Looks like I should take a pic of my PS3 shelf, I've got almost every PS3 exclusive out there (actually, only those, I don't care for multiplatform games)

And err... I can't take a pic of my 360 collection, if you catch my drift, but it's quite expansive too.

 

[prowler]

The PS3/360 generally offered the same games. Once I got a decent PC, I didn't see any need for them. After all, all of the games worth owning one for (Deus Ex: HR, Arkham Asylum, Portal 2, etc.) were available on the PC.

But you have games which you can't play on the PC at all.

Have fun missing out.

The Wii has a large number of exclusives strictly because it is too technologically backwards to play anything else.

congrats foxi! you've made the most stupid statement of the day!

so... according to you, we got Skyward Sword because the Wii is underpowered? not the motion controls?
What about Sin & Punishment 2... same? not because the pointer suits perfectly for the genre?
I could go on and on... but, I guess you get the point

playing a game just for the graphics its like watching porn for the plot

Zelda is a Nintendo franchise thus it is exclusive. The motion controls are not exactly "indispensable" in it either. Sin and Punishment 2 is published by Nintendo, guess why it's not on the PSMove. Do some research next time before you make yourself look like an idiot.

Besides, where exactly did I mention graphics? Higher specs not only allow better graphics, which admittedly make the game more appealing optically but also more content and more complex mechanics. Draw distance, amount of active A.I characters, all sorts of physics calculations and so on and so forth require beefy processors which the Wii lacked. At the end of the day, its competitors can do the same and more while at the same time allowing for better graphics and physics.

PS3 for me.

+ I don't care for motion control gaming (I'm looking at you, Wii, Kinect and PS Move)
+ Free online multiplayer (I'm looking at you, Xbox 360)
+ Has a HDMI port (Xbox 360 didn't have a HDMI port then. Don't flame.)
+ Controller has a built-in rechargeable battery (I'm looking at you, Xbox360 and Wii. Buying a play and charge kit is unnecessary cost)

- Expensive
- Poorer quality multiplatform games (Mostly due to lazy developers trying to cut cost, but oh well)


Now don't get me wrong, I've played all platforms and I think the Xbox 360, the Wii and the PS3 are all equally awesome in their own individual way, but I prefer my PS3 any day.

the entire game is based on that control scheme

Sin and Punishment 2 is published by Nintendo, guess why it's not on the PSMove. Do some research next time before you make yourself look like an idiot.

yeah... because every single Treasure game has been published by Nintendo. Besides... S&P2 was released one year before the PSmove came out. Seems that you have to do your researh too. Publisher =/= Developer

Besides, where exactly did I mention graphics? Higher specs not only allow better graphics, which admittedly make the game more appealing optically but also more content and more complex mechanics. Draw distance (XENOBLADE), amount of active A.I characters (THE LAST STORY, both AI and NPC characters), all sorts of physics blah blah blah blah

360 IMHO, just feels better and so solid, although I must say the graphics aren't that good anymore, it's starting to feel old, and I hate all the multimedia services that are crammed down your throat.

@NahuelDS

There are multiple PSMove games that were released before it and ported over later, but this is not the case with Sin and Punishment 2 *because* Nintendo holds exclusive publishing rights to the title and the developers can do jack about that. You need to use common sense sometimes, it will do you good. That, and read up about publishing and licensing software before you say something silly. Again.

As for your latter two examples, lol and lol. Good games, but for entirely different reasons than the ones you listed. Fanboi much? You can't be that subjective about your opinions, that's humanly impossible. XD

 

[YayMii]

Voted PS3 simply because that's the console I play more. But I credit the 360 since I've been playing on Xbox since 2002.

@[member='NahuelDS']:
1. Zelda works without motion controls.
2. Dead Space Extraction came before the Move, and was ported, so your reasoning is invalid. The sole reason S&P2 isn't on Move is because it's a Nintendo franchise.
3. Try combining all of those elements that Foxi4 mentioned into one game. The Wii is simply not powerful enough to do it all.
4. Your whole post is screaming 'fanboy'.
And before you label me as a 'graphics whore', keep in mind that I personally think that even the PS3's graphics aren't that good, and that it doesn't detract me from playing on it anyways.

amount of active A.I characters (THE LAST STORY, both AI and NPC characters),

Spoiler

YES SO MANY CHARACTERS ON SCREEN IT'S JUST CRAZY.

I just realized something... NPC and A.I treated separately, I like that. Cause, y'know, A.I controlled characters are somehow different from Non-playable characters.

And yes, the "Most Inferior Port of the Decade".

 

[thaddius]

I edited my original post to say this, but I just wanted to say it again: thanks to whoever corrected the topic title. Much appreciated.

In other news: 6 days remain!

 

[Just Another Gamer]

Can't wait to see who wins this time

 

[Satangel]

Status quo between Wii and PS3 ! 360 is just redundant according to the Temp, bit uprising actually.

 

[YayMii]

...The Wii took the lead. But that's to be expected; the 'Temp is a Nintendo forum after all.

 

[Taleweaver]

I voted for the wii.


Yes, I read the entire thread. Yes, it's technically the weakest, multiports suck, multiplayer options are crippled and all that jazz. But it's also the cheapest one, and in the "fun for your money" department, it's simply the best one.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

And yes, the "Most Inferior Port of the Decade".

Although to correct myself, I'm not being entirely fair. The Wii was able to have some decent AI counts in Samurai Warriors 3 and Sengoku Basara and still look good (well, "good for the Wii"). Although none of those compare to Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 in terms of massive AI counts.

 

[I_AM_BIB]

I like wii much, but anyway, PS3 gets boring after playing a game constantly, but on wii, i can just pirate games! Also, does PS3 have Skyward Sword?
Yeah.

No.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Also, does PS3 have Skyward Sword?

No, it has good games.

 

[emigre]

Also, does PS3 have Skyward Sword?

No, it has good games.

Nah, I was just being funny.
