Oh good golly.
Is this the same guy from a few months back that wouldn't shut up about the PS3?
It was like everyday I had to explain how low the odds of the Great Bioware porting Mass effect was.

Yeah. He's got a little bit more proof behind his belt, due to some mistaken listings and a misspeak by a Bioware person at a press conference, but still nothing solid.

And he's yet to comment on how the PS3 version of Dragon Age got ******** up.

That's been bothering me for awhile, is the 360 version pf Dragon Age origins not ******** up? I've just been hearing how the "PC version is leagues better than the PS3 version" I want to know how good the 360 version since I was going to get that one.

Also... Bioware sucks!

Just kidding. They are bastards, though.

From what I've read the ps3 version looks better than the 360 version, but the 360 version does have less framerate issues. Though apparently all versions of Dragon Age, including the PC version, have framerate issues. Also to whoever stated Baldur's Gate as a Bioware product that was Black Isle, granted Bioware kind of grew out of Black Isle, but there's still a very big difference between the two companies. You could say that Fallout was Bioware as well by that logic, it definitely was not.

Xbox 360 > ps3 > wii
xbox is just a good console with the only problem being yo ugotta pay for live and the red ring of deaths
ps3 doesnt have nough good games and had a bad start.
wii only really has the mario games and smash brawl going for it in my and many others oppinions.

Every console except Wii this generation had a horrible start. Most people don't remember the 360's start because few people bought on and those that did had to send theirs back because it was frying entire entertainment units. The ps3 had a very smooth start compared to the 360, it just started a little later in the game. It's normal for a new console to take a year to get started. Also the ps3 has a ton of great games, it's a matter of opinion. I'm not very fond of most of the 360 exclusives, but I'm not a big fan of FPS. It honestly comes down to a matter of opinion. What isn't an opinion is the horrible 360 Arcade that's killing the video game industry right now.

GO BACKWARD CAPABILITY AND CLASICS!
I so wish I could play sp one games on the PS3, but NO! They blue ray destroys my beloved copy of FFVII, GAH!

I play FFVII on the ps3 with no issues at all. In fact all psone games work with no issues on the ps3. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but you shouldn't be having that problem.

Well ignorant people, it is obviously the Playstation 3 that stood out amongst the 3 consoles. They have games like Killzone 2, Assassin's Creed 1/2, Batman AA, Ratchet and Clank series, Resi 5 and so much more. What do Xbox have in comparison to all these hugely successful games? Xbox have games like Halo of course. But one huge, successful series and they want to knock Ps3 off the top? C'mon be realistic. Not to even mention Wii. Why is it even being mentioned in this column/forum in the first place? It's a typical family-fun based console and is just so, well, lame. Given a choice of these 3 consoles eg.(ps3 with 4 free games: Killzone 2, MGS 4, AC 2, COD 4) (Xbox with none other than Halo, nothing else) and (Wii with, say, Mario kart?), which would you choose? People with sensible "gaming" brains will definitely choose the former first without doubt. So people, stop arguing and move on with life. get a ps3.

Over half the games you listed are available for the 360 as well. You might want to research your claims a little more before you make them. I mean I like the ps3 more too, but that argument made absolutely no sense.

Sexiest man in the world states:

Few things wrong here champ.

1) Bolded are multiplay aka 360 has those too

and

2) If the Wii is as bad as you say it is, why is it in the lead still?


Of course he's also the most delusional man in the world too...

The Wii is in the lead in console sales, in video game sales it's in dead last. Since this is a large portion of current console company revenue it's debatable whether Nintendo is truly in the lead as far as Net Profit is concerned. I'd be interested to see the figures. Granted, I'm pretty sure Nintendo is in the lead, but I doubt they're as far ahead as everyone believes they are.

i think the ps3 is the best. for one it doen't heat up as bad as the xbox and it has better graphics and online avatar chating sites such as playstation home. then theres friends list were you can block poeple if there bothering u or etc. them theres all the great games you get to play and the downloadable ones to. so overall the ps3 is way better.

The 360 doesn't heat up. I'll admit the whole issue of the red rings is bad, but it still has an avatar system. You are also able to block/mute people, as well as download games; things you said the PS3 has but the 360 does not. In addition,a lot of the games that are on the PS3 are also available for the PS3, with the exception of a few games like Rachet & Clank, Killzone, Infamous, etc.

Not gonna take sides in the console wars, but you should at least know about the system that you decide do put down.

There's over 100 games the ps3 has that the 360 does not. It's more than a few. Also the 360 does still get very very hot. This has not changed. The RROD may not be as common as it used to be, but the 360 does still run pretty hot and pretty loud. Own up to your console's weak points. They all have them.

Pretty sure those games are all available on the PS3.

I think the problem isn't problems of function, I think its more toward graphics wise..The graphics for FF7 ins't too greatly pretty to begin with, the HD only makes it more blocky. However this is not true for the PSN release, which looks a bit better than the PSone version.

timed exclusive does not fit the definition of exclusive

I see no definition in there that "timed exclusive" doesn't qualify for.

Because until it comes out for another console, guess what?

It's still exclusive!

And outside of Japan, Tales of Vesperia is *gasp* exclusive to the 360.

lol you didn't even look at the definition did you, your nothing but a liar 360 has no good exclusives

sup b***h
you dont know what mass effect is?
I'll help you out
it might be the best rpg this generation
I say might because mass effect 2 isn't out yet so I don't know how awesome it is

Mass Effect was extremely underwhelming imo. Granted I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 2, hopefully it's done much much better, but the first was by far the worst Bioware game imo. Sooooo many repeated textures, the planet exploration just seemed like a really bad way to make the game longer than 15 hours, you spend half the game driving around if you want to find everything, and it was just way way way too easy. The shooting controls were decent sure, but... there was almost no character customization when compared to their previoius titles like Jade Empire and KOTOR. They tried way too hard to appease the FPS fans that they kind of killed the game for RPG fans imo. It's half of what it could have been. It just really really started to feel repetitive after a few hours. Maybe it's just me... I really expected a lot more from Bioware though.

No, ******** you.
They managed to blend RPG and FPS good.
I'd rather trade a whole lot of customization and real time combat for not a lot of customization and real time combat.

********, would you rather it be like Morrowind or Fallout 3, where you see yourself shooting/hitting the ******** only to get "LOLMISS"?

******** NO YOU DON'T.

Oh, and I'm so glad you think exploring the side planets sucked.
That's like complaining about how collecting coins in mario sucks.

Who cares? That's not the point of the game.

Blend RPG and FPS?

In Mass Effect? Which is third person?

Exploring side planets wouldn't be so boring if the textures didn't repeat all day long. There's very very little to actually find on the side planets, but the land area is pretty large. It just seems like a tedious task instead of a fun part of the game. Also, yes I would much rather the game be like Fallout 3. Fallout 3, in my opinion, was much much better than Mass Effect. I really didn't like the game that much, get over it. Not everyone will agree with you. It doesn't mean you have to act like a four year old and cuss someone out because you're fragile little ego got shattered. The game was much less in depth than their prequels. Jade Empire is still one of my favorite games by Bioware. It was done very very well, had a rich and diverse world and the story was awesome. Mass Effect seems like way too much was added in after the fact. Mass Effect is supposed to be an RPG first, shooter second, not the other way around. I do like the new game+ mode, because honestly I think all games should have one, but the game wasn't fun enough for me to want to play it a second time. I like RPGs, I can't stand FPS. You like FPS a lot more obviously. Which is fine. Bioware needs to market Mass Effect as a FPS with some RPG qualities, not a RPG with some FPS qualities. It's simply not true.

Targeting is first person. If you show the character running around or not, combat is done in first person so it's the same difference.
