both your profiles say you haven't played Forza 2. Did you REALLY play it? hand on heart now, no skinch.

Do demos show up? I think that's what I played. Which, if you bothered with giving a shit about what the argument is even about as opposed to whatever dumb shit you desperate want (need) it to be about, is plenty enough. I don't like sims, and I dislike them even more when it's the only fucking option available. Well, that or some other tarmac racer, woohoo!

This is some strawman shit, and incredibly, it seems to all stem from your curious inability to grasp the very simple concept that the supposed excellence of the Xbox of this generation is worth somewhere between shit and nothing to me. Xbox was awesome, Xbox 360 is not.

I did try to help him the first time.  He handed me the phone, it was plastic with a picture as a screen, I looked at him and said "I don't know how to touch screen" before walking away.

So literally about 5 games make or break a console for you?  The system probably makes the majority of different types of gamers happy as balls.

Most people with your opinion would say that the system is just not for them and not come into this thread and say that it's a failure and ONLY selling better because it's a budget system.  Maybe you enjoy talking about games more than playing them?

:lol is this supposed to be deliberately funny or something?

You tell me. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a fucking idiot. But since I do know better, I'll just assume that your apparent inability to follow a pretty straight forward argument has everything to do with you having your nose far too close to the fanboy stink. Attempting to force fit the argument to fit your preferred path, be it by way of making sure it's known that it's just my opinion (as if it would be something else) or by way of introducing irrelevant qualifiers ("have you really played it") seems more than a little bit suspect. But by all means, keep arguing until it fits.

And for the record, I don't think someone who quite obviously lets fanboy affairs taint at the very least his expressed views on games should be playing the compass of the wise here.

Good for them, I guess. I'm not really part of that group, though.

I really don't think price is the only reason the PS3 was a failure. If PS3 and 360 were roughly the same price (assuming PS3 had no blu-ray to get to that price) I still believe 360 would have beat it. It would have been a lot closer but lineup vs. lineup the 360 had more appealing software and was out first, it would still beat it, but not by as much as it is now.

Don't think so. At least in Europe the 360 would have never gotten a foothold at the same price.
Well yeah, I was thinking more of just America really.

the 360 is selling well, but its a shitty console anyways.

Some people really, really need to learn to differentiate between the quality of the physical console and the quality of the experience.  The fact that the 360 is an unreliable piece of shit should not impact the quality of the gaming, social, and now multimedia experiences that the console has to offer.  I've been through three systems and my fourth has a defective disc tray that I have to bang on to get it to stay closed, yet it's still by far my most used gaming system because it gives me the best overall gaming experience, I have the most friends on XBL, and I like achievements.

What's even more batshit insane is this concept that the Xbox was somehow superior to the Xbox 360.  The Xbox was primarily known for its shooters and RPGs (both of which are well-represented on the 360) and a small handful of niche hardcore Japanese games (which is something that has fallen off this gen on all three systems).  Yes, it does kind of suck that we don't have new versions of some of the better exclusives like Rallisport, Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Crimson Skies, etc., but the current 360 lineup with all the missing third parties putting their best foot forward in addition to the awesome XBLA stuff is far, far superior to the Xbox.  Put another way, the Xbox platform morphed from the Halo box (plus a few random great games) to the standard platform for all games.  That's a pretty significant jump and people who fail to realize this are probably the same people who stop liking a band solely because more than five people know about the band, regardless of the quality of their music.

REAL TALK: The quality of my 360 gaming was always impacted by

1) Jet engine that roared harder then my tv making games like Condemned only playable with headphones
2) It stopping working so I had no gameplay experience at all

Shitty hardware can reduce the joy of playing a game.

1) It was never actually an issue for me across the three different serial numbers I had, but either way it's now eliminated
2) Get that shit fixed...they have a warranty for a reason!

A good analogy for me is Apple products.  Everything Apple that I've ever had ends up crapping out within a year or two (usually battery-related, but other issues also arise), but it doesn't make me enjoy my iPhone any less, but somehow Apple only gets a fraction of the backlash that Microsoft gets for their product quality issues.

I'd understand it if it was something that you were relying on like a car, but it's a damn video game console.  I don't want it to break, but it's not the end of the world when it does.

Fucking MS apologist.

The Jet Engine ruins MY experience, as does a console that breaks. It's the reason I bougth a PS3 in fact. No fanboy bullshit, legit reason here.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
And look how that worked out for me   :lol :lol
[close]

I'm not an apologist.  I'm just a positive person and I focus more on the 98% positive experience that the 360 has given me instead of the 2% negative experience.  I'd be an apologist if I made excuses for the manufacturing defects, which I never had.  I was actually a lot more negative before the warranty extension and repair refunds, both of which benefited me.  However, don't imply that you're shit out of luck once the console breaks, because that's typically not the case.

Regardless, I still believe that the gaming experience should be firmly separated from the quality of the console when discussing the quality of the gaming experience.  The fact that my launch PS3 has never had a single issue doesn't have any bearing on my feelings that PSN is still a shitty online service.

it really isn't, i paid $499 for my 60 gig which i don't even really play any PS2 games on

i'd say it's worth $299, though, for sure

Spitting shit also exists.

And if i say "spitting hot fire" are you going to tell me to drink a glass of water? And shoot the shit, what are you shooting shit in the middle of the street? Like you take a gun out on a date and just go unleash some rounds on a pile of dog doodoo, randomly?

Some low framerate and no v-sync-having bastard console version with shitty shadows and aggressive pop-in, I'm sure.

yes, but $26

i wonder if anyone is playing online at all, what with the 756 other multiplayer games out there this season

also, does pop-in and v-sync and shit like that really bother you guys, because i hardly ever notice stuff like that

that stuff does bother me but not as much as aliasing or slowdown

Its 26$???? Where?
It was 25.95 on Amazon on Saturday.

I really think the game massively overshipped. I've seen great deals on FC2 for weeks now, starting at 42 bucks on Newegg and dropping all the way to 25.

Damn, i would have picked it up. I've been meaning to play it.

Some low framerate and no v-sync-having bastard console version with shitty shadows and aggressive pop-in, I'm sure.

No, i wanted to get the 360 version.

So, a version that struggles to keep a steady 30fps, has shitty shadows, v-sync issues and aggressive pop-in then. I guess it could be worse, you could go for the one with slightly better shadows but that struggles to keep a steady 25fps.

:piss Consoles  :piss2 :

that's funny, when i play games i am usually thinking "wow, this is a fun game" or "wow, this game isn't fun" and not "wow, look at the jaggy leaves on those trees and the v-sync and frame rate and my fun is just RUINED *flaps hands*"

It's even better when you can think "wow this is a fun game, and what a wonderful image quality!"

i have not noticed any real pop-in or vsync issues with the 360 version, and the shadow thing is only evident on closeups

it's a gorgeous, gorgeous game

obviously fun comes first, but graphics to enhance the experience.  I'm not crazy about it to the point where I will look at ground textures and compare them.
