The 360 sort of fails at delivering truly exclusive experiences.

[QUOTE="soulitane"][QUOTE="loosingENDS"]

Not really, Sony was amazing in PS1-2 days, PS3 is the problem that focuses on indifferent shooters than what made PS1-2 great

Their exclusive JRPGs besides Demons SOuls are pathetic, like the horrid White Knight or Neptunia, 360 has got all JRPG gaming this generation easilly

In trying to immitate 360 success in shooters, they totally destroyed their game lineup

PS brand has lost all its appeal to me, that is all and Sony is responsible, who wants 100 indifferent shooters ? Not me for sure

Everytime i think about getting those, i see videos of gameplay and i stop

I am not very fond of the style TBH, while some elements are indeed very attractive, i just hate the combat thing in it

I was never in beat em ups

But i agree that this is definatly one of the interesting games of PS3, together with Folklore, Heavy Rain, Demons SOuls, Journey, Nino Kuni etc

What i hate, is SOny focus on cinematic games like Uncharted, MGS4 etc that i dont like at all, when those could have been amazing RPGs instead

Sony has lost its way imo, totally

I do plan to rent it, but with so many games around never got the time

Dark Souls is ruining any other game too, i cant stop playing it, i only do breaks and play other games fast so i can get back to Dark Souls :)

So far i loved Demons Souls, liked Folklore, enjoyed the art of GOW3 (but hated the gameplay) and will buy Ni no Kuni and Dragons Crown

It does get some good games, even though are few and far between, but they are not Sony focus and this dissapoints me

That would be sad if those werent some of the best games on their genres.

Anyway....arent Kameo, Banjo N&B, PGR series, etc high scoring 360 exclusives aswell?

And I would counter that exclusives were not MS's focus in this generation, as evidenced by literally every business choice they made. And it seems like it worked for them.SpruceCaboose

By paying for timed exclusives/exclusive content?

[QUOTE="soulitane"] I agree to an extent on Sony, I'm not the biggest fan of their exclusives this gen. They're fun but fail to hold my attention past a single play through for the most part. If you can ever get either Yakuza 3 or 4 cheap, take the risk you might actually end up enjoying it :Psoulitane

I got a Shen Mue vibe from it, is it anything like that game ?

Also should i go for 3 or 4 ?

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

That's because Microsoft doesn't care about quantity of exclusives as much as Sony does, obviously. If you don't like it take a hike.

loosingENDS

I dont find any quality in Uncharted, Infsmous, Killzone, Reisstance etc

These games are casual crap for the masses

What bout halo, fable and gears? They are far more casual and catered for the masses.

@EDIT: If you're going to only play one, go for 4, it has the most variety due to multiple characters and is more refined too.

Halo has amazing gameplay, it is the only shooter i really enjoy playing

Gears has amazing art/world/monsters (crap gameplay though), that is why i rented Gears 2-3 ( i will buy them later for the art though probably)

Fable is one of my top game series of all time due to its world, NPC simulation, huge epic cities and art

Halos, Gears, Forzas, Fables plus Rare games being some of the most creative, unique games on earth and standouts like L.O. and Crackdown vehemently disagree as do I. :P

Their most critically acclaimed exclusives are a third person shooter (Gears of War), a first person shooter (Halo), and a racing game (Forza).

FPS the most overused genre this generation. Third person shooters are everywhere. Racing games are pretty generic. It just seems like you can get a great first person shooting experience anywhere, and there are so many great third person shooters out there, and lots of good racing games.

With PC, you have RTS games, MMO's, and tons of other exclusives that you just can't get anywhere else, not even similar experiences. There's nothing else out there like Metal Gear Solid 4, or Uncharted with the platforming, puzzles and 3rd person shooting combination with the verticality. Games like LittleBigPlanet differentiate themselves from everything else, as do games like Heavy Rain. Games like Skyward Sword and Super Mario Galaxy are unlike anything else out there, multi-plat or exclusive.

It just seems like the critically acclaimed exclusives on PC, PS3 and Wii offer experiences you can't get anywhere else, while the critically acclaimed exclusives on 360 are very generic, and the experiences are very similar to tons of exclusives on competing platforms as well as many multi-platform games. They don't even have the dialog like a Metal Gear Solid 4 to differentiate themselves.

I know that Kinect is unique, but it sure isn't critically acclaimed.

Oh and by the way Xbox 360 had an exclusive snowboard game that was fairly well received (even won an award from Gamespot) already back in 2005! Amped 3 that is.

Don't also forget Xbox 360's DIY vehicular Minecraft exclusive - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

But no, it's all about blockbusters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Not that I disagree with the gist of your thread, because I do think there should be more quality 1st party titles of more varied for Xbox 360, but your post is very simplistic, and not very well fleshed-out. But worst of all you are acting self-righteously and think your voice resonates the strongest!!!

Well I enjoyed playing the Gears & Forza Series... thats all i care..

Not much of a Halo fan but i did enjoy playing H3 & Reach, their mp is fun...

I think all consoles have great exclusives to offer, some just have more !!

Not exactly sure on what "truly exclusive experiences" mean!

Unlike most PS3 exclusives, 360 games like Halo, Gears or L4D, tend to last years with a solid multiplayer comunity. Fun and popular multiplayer experiences, long campaigns, 4 player coop campaign, etc...

Rare actually pushed out some great games for the Xbox this gen, and they were all very different from each other.

Unfortunately not many people gave them a chance, so they're making **** now.

I'm not gonna downplay Halo. It isn't like I don't own every single Halo game ever released.

I didn't say 360 didn't have 1 single game that delivered an exclusive experience.

Well that's a matter of opinion, but I kind of have to agree with you. There isn't any game on 360 that really appeals to me, I got tired of Halo (IMO Halo 3 was a dissapointment along with ODST, Reach was good though),Gears is good but also got tired of it, Fable is like RPG light and not very fun for RPG veterens like myself,and I didn't care for Left 4 Dead or Forza (these are the exclusives I tried).

Only 360 exclusive I enjoyed alot was Mass Effect, but that came to PS3 so there was no reason to keep my 360 anymore. I kind of have to though because it's broken and it just sits there. I expect MS is making new exclusives for the 720, that's where all the exclusives are going, to making sure the 720 has a strong launch line up.

The 360 is a dead system, MS is going retiring the platform and launch the 720 next year. I think Halo 4 will be the last exclusive for the system, only downside is that MS doesn't support their platform once the new one get's released so Lems will have no choice but to buy the new one or jump to PS3.

What does the PS3 have or the Wii that is unique? Nothing is the answer.

"meh" Is what I have to say to you.

(oh god, I'm a sheep defending the 360)

[QUOTE="arkephonic"]

I actually like the 360 quite a bit. I have around 40 games for it, and I don't sell games or consoles anymore, so I'm stuck with the 360 for the long haul whether I like it or not.

I'm just pointing out that it doesn't really have anything to differentiate itself.

coasterguy65

See this is why I can't take the TC seriously. I like it, I don't like it, I made a thread about why I don't like it...maybe I like it but I'm just upset that there are not enough exclusives...what is it man!!!

The Xbox 360 is a piece of plastic with the primary intention of providing entertainment. I'm sure anyone can find entertainment from a 360, myself included.

That said, as a multi-platform owner, the 360 is clearly the least valuable. The PC, PS3 and Wii all offer more experiences that are truly exclusive that you can't get anywhere else. The 360 would be a great console as a stand alone console, if it were your 1 and only gaming platform. But it is a console that really struggles to have a purpose when you have them all. Halo, Forza and Gears of War are pretty great, but I just expect a little bit more than that.

Gears of War Trilogy is over, I can't say I'm too excited for Forza 5, I mean, how many times can you reinvent racing in the same generation?

Halo 4 is being developed by someone other than Bungie.

Kinect? Please....

It fails at everything if you ask me

finalstar2007

I don't agree. The 360 is ok. If it had the same exclusives as Sony, I would go for the 360. It is a better console than the Playstation.

I think games like Forza and Halo are the best things the 360 have going for it. The actual hardware seems very cheaply made. I think the PS3 and Wii are much higher quality than the Xbox 360, and I'm talking about the Xbox 360 Slim, not the ticking time bomb Xbox 360 original.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"]sort of fails? no they failed big time, Big Time folks.Tessellation

[QUOTE="cloudff7tm"]Everybody knows that already. MS can't really compete with Nintendo and Sony when it comes to exclusive experiences. I have enjoyed quite a bit of exclusives on 360, but Wii and PS3 do a better job when it comes to exclusives. I do think the 360 is a great console regardless though, and I dont regret buying one. Everybody is looking for different things or are in different situations, ya know. So if the 360 isnt doing it for you thats fine. Just get rid of it if you have one or avoid it if you dont.arkephonic
