Gamers: PS3 or Xbox?

I'm...yanking your chain...eroges...galges, bishoujo, bishounen, etc.

I have no idea what you just said. Are you trying to talk dirty to me?

It's just small differences in what's displayed. Pictures of young girls, pictures of young boys, games trying to date girls/boys, games trying to have sex with girls/boys. In the end, it's all the exact same layout with little to no interaction. You basically sit there and hit the space bar for hours on end while you read. Every once in awhile, you'll get an option similar to those old books that told you to go to various pages depending on the outcome you wanted.

Pictures of young girls

You're partial to these ones.

My sig basically describes the Japanese mentality. It's easy to say the best games comes from Japan. However, they only choose a very small fraction to bring over here compared to all the games they release. Do you really want to have a text-based game where you try to seduce little girls?

Do I?

The wii is selling much better than both the ps3 and the xbox. Third partry developers would be retarded to abandon the wii

That's because people are buying it for the novelty factor and to play Wii sports with Grandma every so often. They're not going to buy anything that Nintendo doesn't release - ie, anything except Mario-associated games.

Then how did the resident evil 4 remake sell so well? This...not....make...sense Even the gamecube had some big third party titles, FF crystal chronicles, soul calibur 2 (multi platform but the gc version was most popular), viewtiful joe. Nintendo seems perfectly capable of not only getting hard hitting third party titles, but getting them first

And anyway you could make the same argument about 360. How many people are buying it for halo or gears of war? They're not going to but it for anything ms doesn't release, ie, anything except microsoft games where you shoot aliens...

Your argument makes no sense, your basically saying the wii is destined to fail because of some preconceived totally unfounded notion that mario will be the only game sell well on the wii. You're totally ignoring sales, which are kinda important...

To be honest, FF - Crystal Chronicles wasn't that great. In fact, it was a pretty horrid RPG considering you could beat the entire game in less than a day. RE4 did well, yes. I bought it, although I didn't like it. Soulcaliber II was great and did extremely well for the GC, mainly due to the fact that Link was an exclusive character in the game. I pretty much agree with the rest of the stuff said, though.

My friends and I have all been hardcore gamers since we were in high school. I have all the systems(except for shitty PS3) at my house and when they come over, the only one we play is Wii. They too have all the systems.

Lol FF Crystal Chronicles was horrendous. Square has really started to suck with all their retarded spin offs. You know it's bad when they'll stoop as low as to slap a main series label on a lame MMORPG.

I'm really glad I have Rogue Galaxy to play for the next 3-4 weeks while my Suxbox 360 is getting repaired.

Square's FF sequels and spinoffs were mostly shit for the most part. Anybody remember Mystic Quest?

MQ was gold compared to X-2. X-2 is easily the worst game FF ever created. I can't get past the first battle it's that horrible....

 

[OneArmedScissor]

I heard Mystic Quest sucked, but never saw it. The spin offs used to be stuff like Tactics, though. Now, it's just remakes, or mostly just ports, for inflated prices and random bullshit. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a direct port of FF7 to PSP for $50.

I played it for an hour or two and thought it was lame, but I want to try it again for some reason.

EDIT: X-2 I mean.

360 for sure imo.

People say that the ps3 is more powerful but I've yet to see it. As far as I see it, the ps3 is crippled by the lack of memory and the 360's downside is using dvd9's.

I was able to sell my PSX copy of FF7 for $70 on ebay.

The PS3 is technically more powerful. Ram is the biggest thing holding it back, but you can get around that. The biggest thing is that the 360 dev. software has been around a lot longer than the PS3 dev. software. Sony is finally listening to its developers and changing the software based on their input (which wasn't exactly something they used to do). People are more familiar with the 360 dev. tools because there's nothing really "new" like the cell processor.

Yes it is more powerful. The reason why people are developing easier on the X360 is because of the ports of the DirectX libraries and similar APIs that provide the audio layer. The memory issue of the PS3 can not be worked around unless they start tapping into the Cell's capabilities. You would most definitely need to make use of one of the cores for swapping out segments that are buffered to the hard drive. Blu-Ray is far too slow to be used a swap device so the data would have to be precached to the hard drive. Also, how well you can swap out the data depends on the front side bus as opposed to the IPC of the CPU. You need a faster "tick" rate to transfer data on the bus than the processor doing instructions so there isn't any jitter while precaching. That's most likely one of the reason why Epic is having issues with porting Unreal Tournament 3 to the PS3 with their streamed map technology which loads up newer segments instantly.

They do precache stuff on the HD, though. That's one of the big ways they're able to get around the lack of RAM. I've never seen any FSP reports on the Cell processor, so I'm not even sure what the FSP is on that unit. I also have no experience in using a Blu-Ray drive as a swap device. David Zucker of Midway already said that the issues have been worked out, and Mark Rein of Epic said that the PS3 version of UT3 is still set to the end of 07.

X-2 seemed more geared towards women...my woman loved it, and seeing it was all about 3 chicks, i can see why! ive never really been into FF games though...just not my thing. X's Blitzball was pretty fun though!
