Nobobdy said anything about Killzone (1). I'm talking about Killzone 2, a FPS PS3 exclusive that in it's current state looks like it is going to blow all other FPS's out of the water. The sheer environmental destructibility in that game makes the Frostbite Engine (ie BF:BC) look like child's play. Just because Killzone 1 sucked doesn't mean Killzone 2 HAS to ride down the same road. Call of Duty 3 sucked, does that mean CoD4 has to suck too?MinisterofDOOM wrote:Killzone sucked. Because it was a crappy game. I didn't say I don't like scifi shooters. I said Killzone sucked. And it did.
Tell me that an MMO that allows you to choose to fight alongside either the Justice League or Legion of Doom, create your own superhero (looks, powers, suit, etc), level up according to crimes that you solve/commit, and fight against the opposing side of justice ALL ONLINE (MMO) sounds "lame", and I'd be convinced that you were deprived of Saturday morning cartoons as a child.MinisterofDOOM wrote:No, I don't like comic book games. They're usually cash-grabs and poorly made. Plus they're generally just no fun. Superheroes (with a few key exceptions) are lame.
That's your opinion. just like my opinion that RTS's are the worst game genre ever.MinisterofDOOM wrote:No, I don't not like fighters. I FARKING HATE fighters. Worst game genre ever
See, here is another point for the PS3 that doesn't show up on stat sheets: PSN is generally a VERY mature environment, versus XBL's hostile, immature environment. the xbox360 has become VERY popular among kids/teenagers. what results is these children (that act like morons) telling their mommies and daddies "I WANT AN XBOX360 FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!! I WANT TO PLAY Z0MG HALO 33333333333333!!!", which is the reason why XBL is completely flooded with stupid, annoying little kids (same reason why Halo 3 is flooded with children; it's popularity among the general consumer). PS3 is a different story. what do think would happen if that same kid asked for a more expensive, seemingly more "high-tech" a device; the PS3? Parents usually say, "PS3? what's blu-ray?? no, that's too expensive hunny.. let's set you up with a cheaper xbox360 & XBL account to play HALO 333333!"MinisterofDOOM wrote:No, I generally don't like online gameplay. I don't like it because no one knows how to have fun anymore. You're either enduring children acting like morons, adults acting like morons, or people getting mad at you because you're not playing the way they want you to. Screw that. I can enjoy games on my own and actually RELAX, which is the whole point of games.
bottom line is that the PSN environtment is nowhere NEAR as hostile or immature as the general XBL community. believe me.
what you've said here really shows how much you know about the PS3, or CHOOSE to know about the PS3. I'm gonna go ahead and knock these two statements out with one stone: UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3 for the PS3. UT3 for the PS3 DOES have moddability, xbox360 version does NOT. for pete's sake, I've seen Master Chief running around blasting people on UT3 online on the PSN. and you want keyboard/mouse support with USB ports? hmmm..... PLAYSTATION 3's GOT IT. not to mention Bluetooth capability, so you're not limited to ONLY USB, if you want to run a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse on your PS3, by all means you've got that option (exactly what I'm using to type this). want to play UT3 with keyboard/mouse guys and no controller guys or vice versa? you've got the option to filter it out. so my question is, have you ever played a fastpaced FPS using a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse setup on a 56" 1080p LCD? I have. and let me tell you, it's AWESOME. now keyboard/mouse isn't supported by ALL games, just UT3. but you can bet your life that more and more games will be supporting this feature as time comes. as stated before, it's the future of gaming.MinisterofDOOM wrote:Where on earth did moddability even come up? CONSOLE gamers have no business discussing mods. I'm a PC gamer. I've got the win there. Choose a different battle.
I like shooters that I can use a keyboard and mouse with. Like I said, I'm a PC gamer. I'm terrible with a gamepad when it comes to shooters. So console shooters are sometimes not much fun. Of course, if MS and Sony weren't morons and offered keyboard and mouse control support on their consoles WITH USB PORTS, that wouldn't be an issue for me.
no... my point was that Microsoft is choosing not to fix the problems because they know that idiot consumers like us are still continuing to buy these defective systems.. AND DEFEND THEM AS IF THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. I was saying that we as consumers should do something about it, take a stand, and NOT buy these defective systems so that MS would be FORCED to truly redesign the box so that it functions the way it should. the 3 or 4 "redesigns" that you mentioned were just another example of why Microsoft & it's 360 baby are bull****. their idea of a "redesign" is slapping a Halo 3 logo on the old, defective systems and calling it a "New Model", knowing that we stupid consumers are still going to buy it. they'll take the old model hardware, throw on a bigger HDD, paint it black, call it "ELITE" and make it $100 more, and we stupid consumers will buy it.MinisterofDOOM wrote:None of that has anything at all to do with MS being first to the market this round. It's just bad design. Would have happened if MS had been a year LATER than the PS3, too. And you're exactly right, and prove my point: MS DOESN'T care to fix it. THAT'S why it's a problem. Not because it was first to market. You'd think after 3 (or is it 4) redesigns, the problem would be gone if it was just a matter of rushed development, wouldn't you?
