You get what you pay for, if you like PSn then great. I like live, i pay for live it's welll worth 50 dollars a year. when a friend is online i can talk to him , invite him into the game i'm in, or just talk while we are in games of our own. we have video chat, voice chat, or instant messaging. All can be done in game or not. it even can be done if we are in fifferent games. all without interupting gameplay. Can you do this on PSn?

Simulators: Ace Combat,AdrianWerner

Not a sim

Adventure: Dead Rising, Saints Row, Crackdown, etcopex07

You've listed three games and not even one is adventure game. Good job! ;)

If those arnt adventure games then what are they? even gamespot has them under adventure games, have played any of them?

Tactical shooters: GRAWopex07

The day games like GRAW will be considered tactical shooters is the day the genre dies.:(

GRAW is about as tactical as it gets now days, can you even name a more tactical game released this gen even on PC?

Strategy: Command and Conquer, LOTRII, Viva pinataopex07

Sure, they are. But that gives what? One strategy game a year? This fits the "patheticaly bad" criteria nicely

Okay I didnt need to provide a bunch of games for each list, this thread isnt called a "bunch of games for everyone."

Racing Sims: Forza 2opex07

One game..wow. Well I would also add MotoGP, still...two games? This again fits the "patheticaly bad" criteria nicely

Same as above

MMOs: Final Fantasy online, Phantasy star urniverseopex07

PSO isn't MMO and FFXI is one game, once again "patheticaly bad"

Do you mean PSU, its as much as a MMORPG as guild wars is.

Puzzle: arcade titles like puzzle quest, Hexic, exit, etc..

opex07

There are few puzzle games on 360 and even those that exist are all merely ports of older puzzle games from other platforms. So once again "patheticaly bad"

Comments in orange. The 360 may not have alot in each category, but atleast it has one in each genre, unlike every other system this gen,

PC no Jrpg/Fighter

PS3 No racing sim, MMO, RTS

Wii no WRPG, racing sim, RTS, MMO

but it doesnt really matter because I can see that your only going to claim games as not being certain genres even though they are labeled as so by gamespot and most other places.

Sorry about that I ment to put a comma between JRPG and fighter, and can you name a fighter or JRPG on the PC?

as for the rest if your going to include future titles theirs no real point because Im pretty sure each system will eventually get a game in each genre later into its lifetime.

does it have a console thats as quiet as the ps3 and wii?linkin_guy109

I only notice my system running when the game goes dead silent. Even ambient noise coming from the game background and I dont hear my 360 so this is a non issue.

But it does have good games for every genre. But the TC has guts trying to bring that argument here to SW.

I play my 360 and PC the most, so I think they go nicely together.

The fact that it can play three or four of my all time favorite games like Kotor and Dead Rising just sets it apart for me.

[QUOTE="LibertySaint"] it doens't have high quailty games like the 360. LibertySaint

Scores of reviewed games(counting from late 2005, around 360 launch) say you're wrong

i

i'm not saying all 360 games are high quailty but it has quialty games in all genres!
LibertySaint

it has no quality games in adventure and simulation genres. also no quality games in platformer genre. So sorry, but no.

what has kameo? a adventure platformer game as i recall...from launch right? ....welll i guess that 360 really is pathetic when its can't get anymore adventure or platformer title /hybrid titles since launch :roll:

I dont like anime and I had never watched Naruto but Naruto is one of the best platformers I had played it years.

Most SW trolls dont have a clue about the entier 360 library, and will never bother to find out.

e, but even the PC doesnt have a sim that released during this gen at this timeopex07

Really? Silent Hunter 4, Falcon 4.0: Allied Assault, Flight Simulator X and Darkstar One beg to differ. And I've listed just AA sims, there are many more lower scored (or even those that never got reviewed by Gamespot) ones


If those arnt adventure games then what are they? even gamespot has them under adventure games, have played any of them?opex07

Ermmm..Gamespot doesn't have them listed under the adventure genre. What the hell are you talking about? They;re listed under action-adventure. That;s a diffrent genre (sure,there are those that think action-adventure isn't a separate genre, but if that's the case then games like Dead Rising or SaintsRow would fall into action genre anyway, as they're much closer to action than to adventure. So either way they don't count as adventure games


GRAW is about as tactical as it gets now days, can you even name a more tactical game released this gen even on PC?opex07

SWAT4, Red Orchestra, Regiment , PC versions of GRAW1 and 2(completely diffrent games from console GRAWs)and Armed Assault? Not to mention numerous mods (especialy Insurgency)


Okay I didnt need to provide a bunch of games for each list, this thread isnt called a "bunch of games for everyone."opex07

I wrote that;s 360 selection in strategy is "patheticaly bad" not that it doesn't exist. So why did you name those games anyway?



its as much as a MMORPG as guild wars is.opex07

Well that makes sense considering GW also isn't a MMORPG :)

Puzzle: arcade titles like puzzle quest, Hexic, exit, etc..

Dude all three systems have a little bit of everything for gamers. The only reason the xbox 360 has more games is because of the 1 year head start it had, but other then that yes the xbox 360 does have tons of great games for almost every type gamer, the only thing I can think holding people back from buying them is RROD, because it simply showed proof from 2007 lineup that was better then the ps3 and wii lineup and all xbox 360's big franchise games came out and still the ps3 and wii outsold it with a weaker lineup of games that year. I think that is a big fact why the xbox 360 didnt sell as well as MS and people thought it would because of RROD in 2007 with that monster lineup of games the xbox 360 had.clintos59

360 has racing sim's, my favorite kind of sim.

And I think you are taking the Adventure genre in a very narrow context.

I would rather take my PC over my 360 if I had to choose but I don't.

And all the PC ports of 360 games six months to a year after the fact do not favor the PC. I hope ME is better on the PC, I will pick it up at bargain price, because I already beat the **** out of the game.

I was as excited as anyone for MMO's when they first started coming out. And I have played over a half dozen, severl very seriously. But that as a whole is the most over rated genre.

Call me about a new MMO when they ditch a lot of the conventions that WoW insured we will be recieving for the next 5 years before anyone comes out with something fresh, and actually enjoyable.

No, I'm taking it in correct context. Claiming Kameo is an adventure game is like claiming Halo is a racing game because it has warthogs.

The adventure genre is on its last legs until something fresh comes along.

I did however play Dreamfall on the 360. It is BC but that I believe that is an adventure game?

You are talking about the Myst heritage, witch has a very low amount of appeal. Why? Because you can get just as much adventure in a title that also has action. News at nine. I loved the first two Tomb Raiders, they were great adventures.

Sorry, I could care less what the gamespy definition is. Because what you are describing is a very narrow, almost dead genre.

The only main complaints these fanboys can come up with is the rrod. But at this moment and time everyone knows that the 360 is where the games are at. And only blind fanboys will claim that it only has shooters and at the same time the best upcomings games coming out for their console is a shooter and incorporates shooting. :roll: Jump in.

ReverseCycology

But the truth is, is that reliability is a big selling point, no matter how good the games are. It becomes a great hassle having to send in a broken console 2-3 times, one that you spent 350+ on.

We're not living in 2004 anymore. Currently adventure genre is making a big comeback on PC and DS. There are many games being released and developed, both traditional ones as well as those that push the genre into diffrent directions.

Sorry, I could care less what the gamespy definition is. Because what you are describing is a very narrow, almost dead genre.

Coyo7e

Well, you obviously have no idea about this genre, so first go and read up a bit and then come back .

if adventure genre is "almost dead" then racing sims, platformers, fighters, puzzle games are all dead as they're doing even worse than adventure genre is nowadays

I never thought it would happen but as PC gamer I have to concede that impact the 360 has had on the market. Micro transactions and games like CoD going console. CoD4 is better on the PC because it can be mod'ed not to suck (IMO, if you love CoD4 more power to you). But it seems clear to me that it was made with XBL in mind.

But the 360 gets a lot of attacks on these boards that are just pure **** The fact is that it does have a very diverse line-up and a lot of good to great CONSOLE games.

Hell, sometimes Bioshock is more fun to me on my couch with a big fat trigger and rumble. PC gamers always post like their backs against the wall while trying to argue they know they are still king.

PC's are not in danger. But 6 years ago I did not even really need a console around. MS has changed that.

We're not living in 2004 anymore. Currently adventure genre is making a big comeback on PC and DS. There are many games being released and developed, both traditional ones as well as those that push the genre into diffrent directions.

Sorry, I could care less what the gamespy definition is. Because what you are describing is a very narrow, almost dead genre.

Coyo7e

Well, you obviously have no idea about this genre, so first go and read up a bit and then come back .

if adventure genre is "almost dead" then racing sims, platformers, fighters, puzzle games are all dead as they're doing even worse than adventure genre is nowadays

In new directions that will often conflict with your narrow definition of the genre.

When was an adventure game in the top 20 sales for a month? or even top 10 pc sales? Name these big comeback games?

Myst online was a free title that really did not succeed.

Go ahead and call everyone else ignorant who does not agree with you and defend your genre till your last breath. Call me when it does make a come back.

It's not "my definition" It's the only definition avaible. and no...they don't conflict with it. This gen has shown us you can take the genre and push it in completely diffrent direction while still keeping it an adventure game

Call me when it does make a come back.

Coyo7e

This gen alone there have been 8 AA adventure games and 16 A ones. And GS isn't reviewing all adventure games that are being released.

So obviously you have no clue about adventure genre. Especialy since Myst Online never was free (heck...there was no Myst Online, it was released as URU, once again you prove how little you know)

Really? Silent Hunter 4, Falcon 4.0: Allied Assault, Flight Simulator X and Darkstar One beg to differ. And I've listed just AA sims, there are many more lower scored (or even those that never got reviewed by Gamespot) ones

Hmm when I checked the list at gamespot none of these games showed up, my mistake


Ermmm..Gamespot doesn't have them listed under the adventure genre. What the hell are you talking about? They;re listed under action-adventure. That;s a diffrent genre (sure,there are those that think action-adventure isn't a separate genre, but if that's the case then games like Dead Rising or SaintsRow would fall into action genre anyway, as they're much closer to action than to adventure. So either way they don't count as adventure games

The action Genre doesnt exist since everygame consists of some form of action, If it were to exist everygame avaliable would be considered action.


SWAT4, Red Orchestra, Regiment , PC versions of GRAW1 and 2(completely diffrent games from console GRAWs)and Armed Assault? Not to mention numerous mods (especialy Insurgency)

Swat4: not this gen

Red Orchestra isnt tactical, its pretty much Run-n-Gun but with no cursor limiting your aim GRAW is more tactical

Regiment ?? cant even find this game on gamespot, or wiki, maybe you ment something else?

GRAW 1 for the 360 scored 9.0 and the PC version 7.8

Armed Assualt once again cant find out anything about this game.


I wrote that;s 360 selection in strategy is "patheticaly bad" not that it doesn't exist. So why did you name those games anyway?

Because you asked for them, and then acted like it didnt even matter that I mentioned them, and are missing the point of this thread.

Well that makes sense considering GW also isn't a MMORPG :)

GW is labeled as a MMORPG at gamerankings and is also one of the highest rated games at MMORPG.com

No....PC actualy has at least one game in every genre this gen, 360 lacks any sims and adventure games

You still havent provided me with an actual JRPG for the PC.

Edit: found it under ArmA, but anyways I havnt played it but it only scored 7.0, which isnt anything near GRAWs 9.0

What sports games? All it offers is multiplats that's on the PS3 or Wii. PS3 is the best console for sports titles.

[QUOTE="loftus42"]Son, you are a PC gamer, no console has what your asking for, if they do then provide examples. but i think you just would never be satisfied with a 360 even if it got up and scratched your ***.
AdrianWerner

Uh...oh.. bring on the drama. Did I hurt your feelings?

TC claimed 360 has something for any game, I'm just saying he's wrong

And of course I could never be satisfied with 360, all my favorite genres and game types are bassicaly non-existant on 360

no you didn't hurt my feelings, he brought up games that are in most of the genres and your saying they are pathetic, that's just your opinion. his opinion might be completely different then yours on these games. besides he said something in every genre, not 5 to 10 games. He brought up a point and you were supposed to vote on it. And the definition of some of those genre's are so tight in your opinion, why don't you bring up examples of these games instead of just saying your wrong. that's why i said that you wouldn't be satisfied. plus again that's your opinion and of course your entitled to it, no matter how much you hate the 360. which, lol, is just another one of your opinions.

Ermm..using this logic there are no adventure, action adventure and roleplaying genres. As almost every game has some form of adventure and action and in every game you play some role :) You can't take the names of the genres literaly.

It would be different, in order for me to be able to adventure around I would have to be free to do as I pleased, and not stuck in a linear game forcing me to go on a certain path. Take Gears of War for example I only really get to move in one direction forward no need to adventure around, but during my fights I experience many different times of action.

Erm..RO isn't run and gun, you will get slaughtered if you try to do it this way, GRAW is much more run and gun than RO not to mention being far less realistic.

I use to Play RO all the time and was fine for the most part running and gunning, more so than playing Graw on singleplayer which was based around using cover.

Oh,..God..now I have embarass myself by showing my knowledge of hentai games ;)

Allright, all for the good cause :D this gen(sticking to english releases, afterall there are dozens of PC jRPGs released in Japan all the time and just naming commercial games, ignoring all the freeware games)

Are these titles even released in Western countries, It would be pretty hard to follow the story if its in Japanese (if they even have stories) and thats one of the most important elements in a JRPG, and using Hentai games is kinda going far, those arnt really games for "any gamer" which is the threads title. Overall your realling reaching to get any form of a JRPG for the PC, I mean even Aveyond 2 didnt even get reviewed by most sites, if all.

OK the only one that I've came up with so far that might be close is one that tracks all three America, Europe and Japan, and adds them together.

360 6,776,000

PS3 6,568,000

I think these are accurate since they add the three sales from each area. I was only including north America, because he said the rrod kept it from selling more then the wii, and PS3. and to be honest japan wouldn't buy a 360 if it was 50% off lol. Which didn't pertain to his statement. But to keep things honest these are the best figures from a reputable site i could find.

Huh RO?=ragnarok online? WTF since when it's a run and gun game?!.It is if you play in a 9999999x Rates..or something,LOL.

BUt if you play low rate or Officials,it'll take you around 1-7 months from 0 to something.To really do some run-and-gun stuffs.

But yea xbox360 is good @ games..not to mention 1800-Fix-my-360 game.

Over G fighters ;)

Adventure games? I could go on.

tactical shooters, tom clancey games? (idk what u consider tactical)

forza 2 for racing sim

many puzzle games on arcade

ffxi for mmo

many rts

AdrianWerner

Over G isn't a simulator. There are no adventure games. And the rest...I wrote "patheticaly bad" and you prove that with your listing. Sorry, but having one or two games isn't what could satisfy any fan of of that particular genre.

If it was then PC can satisfy even fighting games fan

Eh, PC gaming only has plenty of each genre because it spreads over much more time then any console does. As I can clearly see you are a hermit. The 360 is by far better then the other consoles in terms of variation and quantity of each. I hate your logic.

No simulators, no adventure games, no real tactical shooters, patheticaly bad selection of strategy, racing sims, MMOs and puzzle games.

So...no... it doesn't have library that could satisfy "any game"

It has what? 3 RTS inferior multiplat titles out now? :lol: Hardly anything compared to the over a dozen great RTS titles (both multiplats and exclusives) that the PC has for this gen alone.

Only 1 exclusive RTS title in its lineup..... and it most definitely will not match up to games like Starcraft 2 or Dawn of War 2.
