I like both game series, but if I'm only buying one system which one is worth getting for the exclusive? I'm not a fan of JRPGS so don't talk to me about Final Fantasy. There are rumors that MGS4 may eventually show up on the 360, but if the PS3 picks up steam this year that probably won't happen. Thoughts anyone?

*Concerning the 360 to get MGS4 Rumors*

There are also rumors that there was no moon landing.

Personally I like MGS much more than NG and I also have DMC4 for action games on the PS3, in the end the choice is yours, and yours alone.

I'd personally go with MGSIV. Everything I see and read about the title makes it look incredible.

I guess if you're basing your purchase only over this I'd say MGS4.... but there should be more factors involved. :?

What other factors would you suggest I consider? I'm not saying that sarcastically.

Based on one game? MGS4 most definetely.

You can substitute some pretty decent hack-n-slash like DMC4 for NG2 on PS3 as well. So you wouldn't miss out too much.

Both will be awesome, it all depends on the personal preferences of the gamer. I like hardcore action, so NG2 for me.

Wow, you could just as easily say SC replaces MGS4 on the 360. See how silly your reasoning is?

in action, NG2 will be better but on an overall level, MGS4 will blow it away. Get MGS4 and then get DMC4 and NGS to scratch that hack and slash itch.

Good point actually. But I believe that DMC4 is a closer substitute for NG2 than SC is for MGS4. So my argument still stands.

In your opinion, of course :P

It's really silly to be directly comparing two amazing series of different genres. Both are AAA titles.

Well there certainly should be more exclusives that you must like. Just to throw some out there, there's Uncharted, Resistance, LBP, GT for PS3. There's Halo, GeoW, Banjo, Fable for 360.

And less important are each system's features. PS3 with the Blu-Ray and 360 with XBL and such.

Neither one of them are similar. DMC games are about free roam combat and the s tyle system which is the complete opposite of NG where you have dial a combo based system with a bigger emphasis on things like evasion.

SC is aimed towards realism. MGS hasn't aimed for realism since well the first one.

That was obvious. Sony is obviously making it VERY worthwhile to stay an exclusive.

MGS4 FTW.

Also you shouldn't be countering NG2 with DMC4. GOW3 is where the fight is.
