Video Games...Discuss Them

I didn't expect my playful jab at the Wii would end in such bloodshed.

[Dukefrukem]

MGS4, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance, and Resistance 2 are crap. inFAMOUS is passable. Uncharted is the only good game on your list, and two others haven't been released yet.

Since we're listing off games, here are some great 360 exclusives:

Halo 3
Dead Rising crap
Gears of War on PC
Gears of War on PC
Left 4 Dead on PC
Geometry Wars 2 XBL
Earth Defense Force 2017 crap
Crackdown passable
Dead or Alive 4
Fable 2 crap
Galaga Legions crap
Braid on PC
GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned crap
Pac-Man Championship Edition crap
Project Gotham Racing 3 crap
Project Gotham Racing 4 crap

By the way I own all three consoles. I agree that 360 > Wii > PS3.

and there you have my ratings.

i thought people at matchcut were above system bashing

i thought that kind of behavior was reserved for teenagers and idiots

What's the difference between console bashing and moving/music/book bashing?

What's the difference between console bashing and moving/music/book bashing?

Consoles serve media, whereas movies/music/books are media. Bashing the consoles is sorta, well, missing the point. And pathetic.

i think trotchky summed it up pretty well up there

fanboys have some sort of blind allegiance to these hardware manufacturers for absolutely no reason and most of the time they, at least in my experience, base their bashing of other systems and their games purely on speculation

We're not bashing consoles. We're bashing games. That's media right?

And what's your definition of a fanboy?

Duke's rating of "Dead Rising" seems strange, since he and I spoke several times about how great the game was.

[megladon8]

Anyone with a 360 and LiVE capabilities should download "Rocket Riot" immediately.

It's great fun.

[Dukefrukem]

Duke's rating of "Dead Rising" seems strange, since he and I spoke several times about how great the game was.

All those ratings were exaggerated on purpose because of the ratings I was given for the PS3 games. I liked Dead Rising when I started playing it. The save system killed it though. That game also came out before the PS3 was even released. That's almost fair.

[megladon8]

That reasoning makes no sense, but OK.

[Justin]

I feel like I am the only one that had no problem with Dead Rising's save system.

I got used to it.

It was just a bit jarring at first, but then I appreciated what it was they were going for, and it grew on me.

I think it's pretty cool.

[Dukefrukem]

That reasoning makes no sense, but OK.

How does that not make sense? I was told that Resistance is crap (where it's far from crap) so I in turn said other games are crap (that are far from crap). Dead Rising is obviously not a crap game.

I got Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Anyone played it?

Yeah, but you were asking the below question, which I was attempting to answer with my post:

And yes, I would consider games media. Well, most games. Not that Godzilla game that came out a year and a half ago. That's not media, that's fecal material.

Loved this game. Played it six times through. Only stopped when I got my XBox.

I was trying a forum trick and you passed. Just making sure you're staying consistent.

Excellent! But don't worry; I will always refer to that Godzilla game using some sort of poddy word. It's as easy as breathing.

[Spun Lepton]

Also, last I checked, Dead Rising 2 is going to be available across multiple platforms, including the PS3.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

The second one is due out this year if I'm not mistaken, and the whole game will be based on the idea of "fusing" the different heroes' powers.
