THE BORE

Thats right - the X360 games got sealed up in an airtight box and shipped away to the family storage warehouse.... the X360 console itself sold....XBL membership - cancelled. If I want to play again its easy enough to buy a new deck and get the games out of storage...for now that shyts on ice. I wasnt even bothering to turn it on now that the PS3 has picked up.
Now with that out of the way - Wii/NDS is back!
I of course started off by re-downloading all of my VC ROMS for free and having a good play session with this gens real NEW best controller - the Wii classic controller. Best controller since the SNES. The Wii VC library has grown since August when I last owned a Wii.
Then I moved on to my first new Wii ware.... REsident Evil Umbrella chronicles....
Holy hell - as a lightclub game veteran, I must say this game is pretty weak. I wont have the Wii zapper attachment till tomorrow or so - but holding the wiimote and sluggishly dragging that cursor around the screen blows....ill still play it because im a fan of the genre and this has me intrigued plus I fookin love RE...but this has nothing on Time Crisis 4 with the Guncon 3.
Next im off to try Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 for the first time.
Im tempted by Sould Calibur legends, just because I love hack and slash combo games.
I got the new TRauma Center, Twilight Princess and Cooking MAma Cookoff comming in the post from Amazon.

haha jesus christ, wtf is wrong with you? The ps3 hasnt picked you deluded bastard
-
Sorry, Wii60 here.
Btw, Trauma Center: New Blood is hard as hell. Thank god for co-op.
-
you fail at gaming
EPIC FAIL
-
you guys.......
-
Wii60 or bust.

Sorry, Wii60 here.

beezy, do you have issues with widescreen on your TV? black bars on the sides?
-
ps3 picked up?
bizarro
BIZARRO
-
hahaha, oh abrader, youre becoming very jotaro
-
I guess in my life Japaneese consoles FTW.
Same thing happened last gen in my XBOX/PS2/GCN cage match..... The playstation and microsoft console are just tooo similar....except Playstation gets better JP support. Nintendo gives you something different....thats how it works out for me anyway.
-
Ugh.
-
Playstation 3 has very little REAL support, and most of its games are in better shape on the other console. It has what, two games, one that probably isnt REALLY exclusive, and one that is yet another fucking Final Fantasy? Who the fuck cares about PS3 as a gaming machine, bring on the blurays.

Abrader: How can you be tempted by the WORST SOUL CALIBUR GAME EVER

i just can't understand how ANYONE can choose ps3 over 360

Nope, not with Wii Sports, Trauma Center: NB, or Super Mario Galaxy. I haven't tried Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn yet.
Edit: I did try F-Zero GX on my Wii earlier tonight though. It was 16:9, but it didn't completely fill up the whole screen.

My 37 disk PS3 library says hi!
plenty to play on the system if I got just under 40 games on it in just the first year.
-
mario galaxy works fine for me, i haven't tried the ther three games you listed
try Metroid Prime, Zack and Wiki, or any other random third party game

I do not know how to explain it - I gave both consoles a good solid 12 months and played the best games on both systems.
PS3 just wins the taste test in the end.

haha omg you have 37 titles on ps3? omg hahahahah

Abrader: How can you be tempted by the WORST SOUL CALIBUR GAME EVER
I just got done slashing, hacking and grinding thru two of IGA's games...I crave more mindless slashing and hacking.
I dont have high hopes - but i may try it.
-
jesus christ
-
"jesus christ" over the fact that i may try a game?
You need a nap.
-
it must be embarrassing owning only the two weaker consoles of this gen -- the ps3 and the wii -- and not even having a high-end gaming pc, to boot

That's all I own so far. I'll let you know when I get MP3.

Fuck that. I like my PS3 and have been playing it more and more lately but I'll be damned if I got rid of my 360. There's just way too many games on it, tons of people I play with are on XBL, and almost all multiplatform titles seem to perform better on the thing.
Getting rid of the 360 in favor of the PS3 seems like the equivilant of trading in a PS2 for a Gamecube back in '02.
-
haha jesus christ, wtf is wrong with you? The ps3 hasnt picked you deluded bastard
Seriously. This is allegedly occurring in the coming year, now we're referring to it in past tense? ???

Post that pic again so everyone can laugh.
I'll give you $5 for that copy of Sonic the Hedgehog.

that's something to be proud of man. ::)

seems like abrader's dominatrix is out of town for the weekend
-
Although I own all platforms, I support the PSWii. Best gaming combination. :) 360 is considered the red headed one in my gaming family.

Here's the batch of modern classics:

I think he had images of his 360 pile but they are down.

guess the blu ray news got to him
-
Well at least he has Gundam
-
I'm a sony fanboy but mana knight and abrader are embarassing
i have 80-90 ps2 games and 60 or so psx games and pretty much all of those are quality.
but this is ridiculous.
-
i am so sorry for u

Has it been confirmed yet whether abrader's a viral marketer or just really, really deluded?

Im on my ps3 more often than him and all I ever see under his name is folding@home
-
enough with the drama, let him enjoy his time.
-
I'd agree if he didn't spend all his time trying to rub 360 owners' noses in it. Whatever "it" is, I don't even know.
-
I don't know how any serious gamer could get away with not having a 360.
-
lol - is 37 games considered impressive by the way?
seems a very small number of games :/
I didn't even know the PS3 had that many games.
-
Sonic : inferior version
Sonic sucks anyways
-
My 37 disk PS3 library says hi!

Actually, dc, every version of Sonic would qualify as the inferior version.
-
I like abrader, but that stack of PS3 games is ridiculous

good man
throw the wii at some distinguished black fellows though... fucking pos

No you are a bottom feeder college student who thinks getting high and riding his bike up to taco bell drive thru is >action<.
Your opinion matters least - especially after reading your "I started my gaming life on the PSOne" CastleVania comments.
I think some of you spazz out way too much over this stuff. The objective of gaming is to play what you like and enjoy it - it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks - you arent playing the games for the benefit of others or the forum.
Say what you will about my choices - but the lads here who haven't even played the hell out of all three systems this gen who love to just dogpile in on these things for cyber popularity are the saddest of all.
I played the X360 for 12 months in its second better year and I played every top game on the system.
I am sorry to report that most of it - even highlights like "Bioshock" are just meh. The Playstation 3 is the better system - period. And it held up to the X360 in its first and slowest year.
-
yea bioshock is meh. ::)
you're becoming a sad joke character abrader.
-
I don't even own 37 games total
-
i love you groo but...
sonic is shite :-\
-
So Metroid Prime 3 is pretty fun.
I have only played with the advanced controls so far - but I hope they really do consider re-releasing prime 1 and 2 with this control option.
At first I was taken back by all the dialog in a metroid game - but once I got further along it felt good playing it.
-
yea bioshock is meh. ::)
you're becoming a sad joke character abrader.
Sorry you disagree - but you can stick the joke character/viral whatever conspiracy theories you feel like tossing out up your ass.
-
if you put it that way, yeah
tbh, never cared about him or mario that much, I'm a mega man (mostly X) taco lol
-

Hehe well lately I have been playing alot of PS2 games - so you will either see me not logged into PSN - or on PSN away from the PS3 with folding @ home on.
-
ok - im sorry if I sent out some rude replies above but some of you got a little way too uppity over what I choose to play in the way of videogames.
I played ALOT of Bioshock and it just never grabbed me.
I think I for sure would have liked the game better if it was more realistic and didnt have the plasmids.
The plasmids alone were a big 'meh' aspect of the game for me....just give me guns and knives and security systems in a city under the sea with raving lunatic gangs.

It's because you can't afford a PS3 and never played one, which is why you are so bitter towards PS3. It's actually a very good console. And yes, I own and played more PS3 games than anyone else here besides abrader.
I'm actually not all that big of a Sony fanboy, I just show it more because I know many of you hate Sony here. :P
-
Hey Genji gets it's "meh"'s too!
-
at what point did you stop playing it?
A little after the part where you make the stuff to keep the trees alive.
-
Hey Genji gets it's "meh"'s too!
I thought Genji 2 was pretty good. It's better than 80% of the games on 360 for sure. :P

I am suru Himmy has played PS3. And he can prolly afford one since he does have an X360 - but prolly not both. He had to choose....and he based his choice on what he felt would help him fit in more on the internet - which is sad.
The writing is on the wall - especially in that thread he made about DMC4 installing hahahah - Makes his regrets all too obvious....
So Himmy - is fitting in on the forum more fun than playing games you like?

Haha, I believe it. He's trying to fit in with the "cool" people just like most internet nerds do. Since I'm no internet nerd, I get what interests me an enjoy it, even if it goes against the majority. :)

I own a PS3, and its shit. I have one good game for it thats exclusive, and a crapload of blurays. Its a fantastic BLURAY player, and thats what I use it for now. Gamers choose 360
Sticking to your guns on this issue doesnt make me respect you so much as put you on my list of people I wont take game recommendations from. Youre delusional!

Since I'm no internet nerd
*looks at Naruto avatar*
riiiiight....

This is getting interesting (http://i1.tinypic.com/6ww4egi.gif)

No - YOU choose X360 - and I dont care to go around saying you are delusional because our tastes differ.
Again evilbores biggest problem rears its ugly head.
Your preferences are not "the end"
get over yourself.

If by interesting you mean "like a bunch of cranky pre-k kids over due for their nap time"
YEAH!

you left yourself open for the beating by hitting the 'post' button.
-
A little after the part where you make the stuff to keep the trees alive.
so about 3 hours in right?
well I dont fly thru stuff - I spend allot of time looking at the environments, looking for stones to turn over etc.... the game has some great detailed/lit environments that you could spend alot of time digging thru.
I spent about 6 hrs total id say
-
you left yourself open for the beating by hitting the 'post' button.
Grow the fuck up.

And oh, about Bioshock
if there is one thing i hated about it, it's the fetch quests.

QFT. Like one of my best friends said, "360 owners have low standards and too much money." I just can't say it better myself. They will buy a new 360 over and over again even if theirs breaks, along with buying shitty games like Two Wolds, and so on to inflate their "nerd points". It's not gamers choosing 360, it's a bunch of snotty people who love being Microsoft's pet.
-
And oh, about Bioshock

one minor nit I had was with the engine they used.
I would have preferred a large seamless/streaming environment game with no loading screens to take you out of the atmosphere.

abrader isnt a gamer, hes a twisted demographic!
