Wadda Jyp,a Wii would be a vastly Superior Prize. PS3 is Crap, A Majority of it's games glorifies Porno and Villian Worship.It also encourages Perverted Behavior. ------------------ |

quote: What? I have to disagree---Resistance doesn't, Motorstorm doesn't, Lair doesn't look like it will, Final Fantasy 13 most likely doesn't-----what popular PS3 games do that? Legend of Zelda on the Wii encourages people to put on stupid looking clothes and go around the country side abusing animals with a sword---if you twist the meaning of the game---the only way popular PS3 games could be construed in that manner is if they were twisted in a similar manner--every system has shock rock games that try to use over-the-top amounts of violence or sexual innuendo to sell a few thousand more copies---but they have many more games with good storylines and gameplay---and, like I said, I can't think of any PS3 exclusive (not counting Ninja-Gaiden Sigma since it is half exclusive half remake) that truly embodies those negative elements. ------------------ |

zookey Member Posts: 1902 From: Great Falls, Montana, USA Registered: 04-28-2002 |
That is one game. What Hentai games tho man? Just because a game is Anime doesn't mean it has Hentai in it---Hentai is in the minority I can't even name ONE Hentai game and I am a Japan-oholic---with GTA clones come on dude there is like 1 or 2 of them and they did marginally well at best, Resistance and Motorstorm have outsold those clone games and neither of those contain sexual crap---the most popular PS3 games are very good: Resistance: no sexual crap Motorstorm: none also FF13: nope FF VS 13: nada White Night Story: probably not Lair: more than likely not Heavenly Sword: only some people would think the heroine, Nariko, is dressed a little too loosely--but all private parts are covered wholly and I don't personally consider it a sexual costume and she is VERY well crafted from a personality standpoint, the focus is on her soul and character not her physical assets. Metal Gear Solid 4--the only thing I could think of is that Snake can look at 'porno' mags (that have pics of women in bathing suits, from my understanding no full nudity) and leave them as bait for bad guys---which I still think is immature but that is one tiny element and, from my understanding, you don't have to do it at all to play the game. Nobi Nobi Boy--nope (from maker of Katamari Damacy) Calling All Cars: Nope Haze: Nope UT3--maybe, honestly don't know Warhawk: Nope Socom: nope all their popular games are generally pretty good. GTA is in the minority, as illustrated by how it was the only negative game that many people can name--which is a direct result of Rockstar's shock rock marketing. Please don't label the PS3 as all bad over one title man! ------------------ |

I'm no Playstation fan (or maybe a closet one) but I have to agree with Zookey entirely on this. Hentai is to anime, as Porn is to movies. I'd rather personally have a Wii, but a PS3 is a better prize. if anything, sell it, get a Wii and with cash to boot. ------------------ |
zookey Member Posts: 1902 From: Great Falls, Montana, USA Registered: 04-28-2002 |
Heheheh is the Wii shortage still going on? I know that is off topic but, as I was imagining Arch's scenario it popped into my head--what if the kid sold the PS3, tried to get a wii and got denied? Man that'd suck! ------------------ |

He, smart kid. Nice story, although I'm with ArchAngel on this one: the Wii would be a better prize. |

actually, I said the PS3 was a better prize. sell it that's a 8800GTS plus a e6600 Core 2 Duo. or Flowmaster mufflers, eibach coil springs and a Weapon R Short Ram Intake. mmmmm....computers and cars. the two loves of my life. ------------------ |

I have a Wii, its a stupid bit of nonsense I havn't touched in months. Cost around $500 too, Christmas and all that. I've been trying to sell it off to somebody, but I just might be stuck with it. ------------------ |
ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
I'll take it for 50 bucks ------------------ |
crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004 |
How about $275 for the console, twilight princess, cod3, as well as the controller required to play the downloadable games. Mario 64 is downloaded. no 50 bucks, but I think $275 is fair. Everyone seems to think since its a wii, they shouldn't have to pay more than $200. They forget the cost of the other things. I'd go as low as $225 and thats really it. ------------------ |
zookey Member Posts: 1902 From: Great Falls, Montana, USA Registered: 04-28-2002 |
quote: LOL I agree with the cost statement---to get a lot of features you get out of the box with PS3 you end up paying a truckload with any console--so any game system you should expect 600 or more to get it the way you want it.Yeah, after Wii sports wore off I didn't touch mine either, but I will get it again for Smash Bros Brawl--that is the one game I want, maybe no-more-heroes but definately SSBB ------------------ |
ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
quote: haha, yeah, 275 is fair, and 225 is a deal (for the package. nose wiimotes and nunchucks are expensive, but then, accelerometers can usually rack up a cost). That money' will go into my car. The only reason I'd get a Wii is because it'd be something the family can enjoy. I almost never play a console alone for just the value of the game. and yes, I'll give that to the PS3. it does come with many features that others you have to buy for. Although, the most consoles still come under 600 fully equipped. The PS3 really is too good for it's time. ------------------ |

Some developers are doing good on it--actually I would say like 80 percent do, but your lame money-making-only studios like EA only want a cookie-cutter product and don't want to invest time into making a game, which is why all their franchises are either copy-pastes of previous games or copy-pastes from other people's concepts (incase you didn't notice, I HATE EA!) LOL I am the exact opposite, I have a hard time playing games with a keyboard/mouse on a computer screen--at a PC I feel the urge to work---LOL I can really only play on a HD monitor now--HD is so much nicer---and now the PS3 upscales DVDs to HD and we can see the imperfections in Family Guy with the pencils they used to draw the lines--it is insane hehe but shows you how much of a bump-up HD is from SD! I think the PS1 and PS2 were way ahead of their time too (Sony got heat for using CD's that they were 'way too much room' then took heat for DVDs for the same thing)--it seems they have done a lot to advance the console industry over the past decade because they have the guts to release a higher end machine---honestly, what I see of Microsoft's attitude is, "How can we beat Sony?" when, if they thought like, "How can we advance the industry?" success would fall into their lap more because they would be thinking like gamers as opposed to competitive business men. ------------------ |

Ahh, but heres a small thing about the ps3: I've never touched one. You're one of two people I know of personally having a ps3. The other is a friend of a friend, who I've never even met. I'm not exactly slumming either, I live in a middle class suburban area. People are opting for the 360 because it has solid technology at a lower price. I'm actually a bit afraid that the ps3 is going to eventually go the way of the DreamCast. Thats not to say there won't be a ps4 or something though, as Sony's consoles have experienced international success. ------------------ |
zookey Member Posts: 1902 From: Great Falls, Montana, USA Registered: 04-28-2002 |
The PS3 is doing really good--from what I heard it sold more in its' first 6 months than the 360 did in its' first 6 months----plus people buying a PS2 today will buy a PS3 when they go next-gen since they will want to chill with the franchises they got to know on PS2---plus Sony is way more wise than Sega was---Sega did some dumb moves--none of them ultimately fatal--but they all added up to trouble, plus EA jipped Sega really bad---they said they wouldn't support the DC unless Sega sold 1 million consoles, Sega broke a record by doing so in 90 days and EA backed out of their word. WikiPedia has sales figures for PS3 tho and it is doin' really well---I highly reccomend it, I owned both a 360 and a PS3--I used to be really pro 360 but it was just watching MS's actiona and seeing their attitude that made go back to basically being a 1 console dude---last gen I owned all 3 and I owned all 3 of this one but the 360 and Wii turned me off for varying reasons, actually I was really jaded by the 360 because MS was so concerned with beating Sony they didn't think up a lot of stuff for it, the result is a console that kinda works but is more an upgrade to the XBOX than a true sequel---I know it is more powerful but the ideas with how the software and hardware (especially the OS of it) aren't that much of an upgrade IMO. ------------------ |

Death To All Gang Banging and Mafia Glorifing Games! ------------------ |

NEVER! well, a gang banging game would be pretty disturbing. ------------------ |
