I mean really there is so many gamers out there because of blind loyalty that they are depriving themselves of some of the best gaming we have ever seen being done on Xbox 360.

Most will say ahh RROD as a cheap excuse to stay blind to a certain company weather it be Nintendo or Sony?

Lets look at things PS2 had a terrible history of the disk read error. And i and so many others went through 2 or 3 PS2's

Lets go back further look at the great NES i mean come on you had to blow on the dam cartridges to get the dam thing to work pretty much all the time.

So how is it now that we have so many blind fanboys who refuse to buy a 360? And yet call themselves gamers? Because it's no secret some of the best gaming this industry has ever seen is being done on the 360 right now. And in the foreseeable future looks to get even better.

Explain this blind loyalty that we see? And why you are gaming on a lower level then you could be if you just gave in to your desires and got a game machine that ranks up there with the best of them.

Well then, I hope your enjoying your PC, Wii and PS3 just as much as your 360.

Why would you do that to yourself though. It's on the same level of greatness as the Nes and PS2 it has all the games and has all the support. And yes has all the hardware problems both those did. But yet so many still would not deprive themselfs of those. So why the 360?

Wait, so because I can't afford an Xbox 360, or have no interest in getting one, I'm doing it out of so-called blind loyalty? :roll:

no. just no. there are several reasons not to buy a 360.

1. if you plan to use it more than 3 years, there is the RROD problem.

2. if you don't like shooters, then there is no point.

3. you don't like microsoft

4. you got screwed when microsoft ditched xbox1 after 4-5 years, and don't want to relive that experience.

i wont buy one on the basis of value for money.... you get more for your money with the ps3.

+ on principles alone paying to use on-line is wrong. yes, i can afford it, but im a money grabbing person who refuses to pay £70 for a wi-fi adapter

point 2 is invalid.

360 has the most diverse library of games...surprisingly...but true nonetheless.

RROD is not a cheap excuse. When I buy a console, I expect it to actually work for a reasonable time. That said, I'll get one when there are enough games on it that I want to play that aren't also available on PC.

About Xbox 360:

Not officially selling in my country( no support or anything if it brakes )

You have to pay for the online

No games I'm interested in (everything is also on Ps3)

So if Microsoft correct this I consider buying it, For now I'll play PS3

Maybe from a Sony and Nintendo standpoint. I mean Sony is struggle with games. And Nintendo is to really. Most agree Wii does not have the best game libery except for a few good ones.

As for the 360 it has out of this world online features and funtions for home system gaming. And has an incredible game libery. And many more great games to come. So 360 really is just like the PS2 and the NES both those had the games and the developer support. Yet both those suffered from system failures issues just like the 360.

mah you fail.. your arguement owns yourself.. There is but one console having severe (even compared to the older generations) hardware flaws.. The 360.. Ps3, wii and if you want to bring it up, pc, don't.

I do own a 360, though I haven't been using it for nearly 80 days. (xboxlive last login) - so probably more.

Because with the Xbox 360 you know its going to break sooner or later, but comparing the blowing into the Nes cartrigies is stupid, I rather blow into the cartrige and know it works, than have to spend money to get it repaired.

Same for the DRE on the PS2, there was a home made fix to that, unlike the Xbox 360 where you have no choice but to spend money for repairs or get a uneeded 3 year warranty because once it runs out, what buy another one, how many Xbox 360s are you going to go through, before you realize its a bad system and shouldn't even be on the market for its defect it should be illegal to sell something that the company knows is going to break, no joke.

They shouldn't even have the RROD any more, the Xbox 360 been out since 2005, no excuse. Beside the Xbox 360 doesn't have any games I want, all the games I wanted I can't even get any more or are region locked and only availble in Japan(Galaxy Angel,Bistro Cupid, The Idolm@ster, The Idolm@ster Live For You!) and I refuse to buy original Japanese Xbox or Xbox 360 to play the games, just find another alternative/console to play import games on, because I know I'll be screwed if it breaks and unlike you I'm smart enough to know it will break and a waste of an investment.

No it doesn't have the same level of greatness what-so-ever.

OH and if it has all of the games then why are my 5 most highly anticipated titles not on it hmm? (Spore, STALKER CS, Empire Total War, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2).

People like the tc need to stop looking through fanboy goggles. I have a PS3 and a 360. The RROD problem is why I didn't get a 360 till about Sept last year. I'm a gamer so I don't like missing any games. Sure I wish I just had one system to play everything but it doesn't work like that. Last gen I had a PS2, Xbox, and Cube. This gen the only systems that interest me are the 360 and the PS3 both systems have good games.

If a person had a PS3 I could understand if they felt that they don't need a 360, some of my friends only have PS3's some of my friends only have a 360. The two systems share so many games and most of their exclusives cancel each other out.

Unreliable hardware is a good reason not to own a 360 I know some people who jumped ship because of that alone and nothing else. Those people who say well it isn't a problem anymore so people can't use that excuse how can you tell someone who's just lost over $400 in a product then expect them to trust the product again? Personally I felt a little crazy for buying a 360 even though I saw first hand from hundreds of customers with 360's went through, but I just could not pass up on the games the system has.

I bet the tc doesn't even have a PS3 its the only way he'd make such useless post.

I'm sorry that I made no mention of the Wii only because it doesn't interest me, but if wii owner is satisfied with just the wii then to each his own how can anyone tell anyone else what to like its.

How i mean yes PC has the RPG's and the shooters covered. But 360 pulls ahead with fighters / sports and / racers and now with some good platformers. Sure you can use a joypad on PC and download stuff from gamefly i guess. But it's not as good.

Adventure games

In-depth RTS

Simulators

Turn-Based Strategy

Rhythm

Racers

There's more too than I can list if you'd like.

Actually RROD is a real problem. The Ps2 disk read error effected most launch systems and within a year or two it was all fixed. The new 360 still has that problem 3 years later. Also I can't justify buying a system which has exclusives that either I don't want or I have enough patience to wait a year and a bit and get it on the PC

As mad as I am at MS. I do like the 360. Even though my launch 360 died after only 8 short months and im on #3 now. I guess being a gamer has its downfalls.

Sorry, I'm still not seeing enough reasons for me personally to get a 360 at this point. Who knows, maybe I will in the future.

However, when at least 85% -- I'd guess -- of my gaming is done on the PC, I'm hardly finding time to play my PS3 and Wii as it is already, the last thing I need is yet another console in the stable.

In addition, I prefer playing multi-plats on the PC, for example I haven't bought Burnout Paradise yet, nor GTA4, and would rather wait for the PC versions. If I get SF4, I expect that will also be the PC version. If I want to get Gears of War 2, I'd like to give time for a PC version to appear, and so on. I like having the improved graphics the PC provides, the configuration options, the various control device options (including the oh-so-important kb+m for shooters and RTS games) as some advantages.

So...nothing against the 360 at all, even the RROD doesn't bother me to a tremendous extent. It's just that I'm content enough with getting my 360 exposure via my friend's and see no need for one personally, although I certainly have to give props to the existence of the 360 for providing my favorite PC gamepad up to this point ;)

PDZ

8 out of 15 games are shooters.

now, lets take a look at a system like the gamecube.

only 1 of those is a shooter. even the gamecube has a more diverse library than the 360.

neither I nor the TC said they were talking about exclusively this gen, in terms of purely purchasing a 360, you'd be better off with a gamecube, plus the games are mad cheap now :).

2. if you don't like shooters, then there is no point.

mistervengeance

no.... i dont need to explain why....just no

go ahead explain...

which console has the most RPG's?...

Compared to PS3, 360 has many more racers, fighters, platformers, action adventure, even a few Strategy games up its sleeve.

hmm, then i guess you wouldn't mind taking a look at a sample space of the xbox 360's AAA games from gamespot?

gears of war

oblivion

the orange box

halo 3

forza 2

graw

r6v

civilization revolution

burnout paradise

rock band

assassin's creed

call of duty 4

puzzle quest

bioshock

and i shoot that down (PUN POWER) with the fact that over all this gen has seen more AAA shooters than normal, you could look at AAA games over all and i wouldn't be surprised if they were mainly shooters.

thing is, it's not only dissapointing due to the lack of variety AAAs

but look at them.. not an exclusive original IP AAA

and the only exclusive AAA that isn't a shooter is forza...

my 360 is about 98% dust, 2% console

no. just no. there are several reasons not to buy a 360.

1. if you plan to use it more than 3 years, there is the RROD problem.

2. if you don't like shooters, then there is no point.

3. you don't like microsoft

4. you got screwed when microsoft ditched xbox1 after 4-5 years, and don't want to relive that experience.

:? Wuh what? 360 has the most diverse game libary out of all the systems even PC.

See, now you're just making stuff up.

How i mean yes PC has the RPG's and the shooters covered. But 360 pulls ahead with fighters and racers and now with some goo platformers. Sure you can use a joypad on PC and download stuff from gamefly i guess. But it's not as good.

Let's see what AAAE genres the PC has covered:

  • First-Person Shooter ( Crysis )
  • Real-Time Strategy ( WiC and CoH )
  • Turn-Based Strategy ( GalCiv 2 Expansion Packs )
  • Racing Sim ( GTR2 )
  • Real-Time 4X ( Sins of a Solar Empire )
  • MMORPG ( World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade )

9 AAAEs comprised of 6 genres.

AAAE genres the 360 has covered:

  • First-Person Shooter ( Halo 3, PDZ )
  • Tactical Shooter ( Tom Clancy's GRAW )
  • Racer ( Forza 2 )

4 AAAEs comprised of 3 genres.

In case you have not noticed, the PC has the 360 beat twofold.

Now let's move on to AAEs.

PC has:

  • Real Time Strategy ( M2TW + Kingdoms, W40K: DoW: DC, SupCom, EU3 + IN, SW: EaW + FoC, R: TWA, CoH: OF, ACW: HT, HoI: D, SF2: SW, DEFCON )
  • First-Person Shooter ( S.T.A.L.K.E.R., BF2: SF, BF2142, ET:QW, The Ship )
  • MMORPG ( AoC: HA, GW: EotN, GWN, CoV, LOTRO: SoA, PotBS )
  • Sims ( The Sims 2: Open for Business, SMR, MS FSX + A, DarkStar One, Silent Hunter: Wolves of The Pacific )
  • Turn-Based Strategy ( CiV IV: Warlors + Beyond The Sword, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Dominions 3: The Awakening )
  • Role-Playing Game ( The Witcher, NeverWinter Nights 2 + Mask of The Betrayer )
  • Tactical Shooter ( SWAT 4 )
  • Racer ( RACE - The WTCC Game, GT Legends, TrackMania UNITED 2008 )
  • Sports ( NHL: Eastside Hockey Manager 2007, Baseball Mogul 2008 )
  • Adventure ( Sam & Max Season One, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, Penumbra: Black Plague )

360 has:

  • Racer ( PGR3/4, MotoGP )
  • Action-Adventure ( Kameo, Saints Row, Dead Rising )
  • Fighter ( Ninja Gaiden II, Dead or Alive 4 )
  • Role-Playing Game ( Eternal Sonata )
  • Sim ( Ace Combat 6 )

Once again, the PC has double the genres represented in exclusives that the 360 has. When you start breaking up sims into several categories, imagine the even more brutal slaughter.

Still willing to argue the point?

TC , of course you are correct about the misplaced loyalties but there is no way, no how these type of gamers will ever budge.

They will find every and any flimsy excuse in the book to legitimize them staying away from 360 but in the end, it's as you said - Brand Name loyalty. :?

Ahhh, if it were really all about the games my friend - sadly, for many it's not.

Oh well, carry on.

Why did this get twisted to a AAA debate. I nor no one mentioned anything about AAA's here.

What you have shown is that the 360 has the best shooters over Wii and PS3. But most also accept the fact that the 360 has the most diverse game lineup over Wii and PS3.

If you clean your NES it would work like new, the PS2's had many problems from disc read errors to not playing silver backed discs. I owned them all and had problems but I got a launch 360 lasted less than a year and had a warrenty so I got a new one that also lasted less than a year but M$ started there warrenty so I was able to send it in and 6 weeks later I was back in business for another 5 months and had to send that one in which only took about 2 weeks to get back and soon as I did I traded in all my 360 stuff and got a PS3 and will never look back because the PS3 is a very strong console with some great exclusives its self.

[QUOTE="Burnsmiesta"]Well then, I hope your enjoying your PC, Wii and PS3 just as much as your 360.

Or do we have a hypocrite?
Dur_Rocky

No sir not me. I have a PS3 and a PC well my PC needs a upgrade. But i havea Gamecube and a PS2 also. So not me.

You are the guy who's posting a lot about how Sony is a terrible company and so on. I've seen every post you've made is only in favor of the 360. Not once have you posted anything good about the Wii, or PS3 that I've seen. You're pro 360 only.

First, don't talk about other people "twisting" when you're the one who decided to "twist" my (so far, undisputed by you) argument against your claim that the Xbox 360 has the most variety out of any system (including the PC) into avoiding the debate at hand, only to attempt to use it to bash the PS3/Wii. :roll:

Second of all, measuring a system's genre diversity requires you to take a look at the exclusives library (meaning AAAE/AAE) and categorizing the games into several different genres. Getting more categories means more genre diversity. Obviously, this concept seems to have gone over your head.

Again how is it the most diverse? PC carries:

Shooters

RPGs

Adventure games

In-depth RTS

Simulators

Turn-Based Strategy

Rhythm

Racers

There's more too than I can list if you'd like.

Well yes i'll give you Shooters Strategy and Sim games for sure. But for Rythem games and Sports and Action Adventure and platformers you have to give that to the home systems

With Rhythm games like Audiosurf, it's hard to go back anywhere else

My point would be most would prefer to hook there Rockband or GH up to a nice TV and sound system rather then to a PC monitor.

Maybe we can turn this into a 360 reasons not to buy a 360 thread :D
