Why i'm taking the PS3 over the 360

I'm sure lemmings and sheep can't deny this. The PS3 will be getting far more RPGs than the 360 and the wii combined. I am not a fanboy though. I own a wii, and I had a great time playing my friend's 360 when he brought it over a week ago. I do admit that the 360 is getting some great games soon, but because RPGs are the #1 genre on my list, I have to go with the PS3.

The gamecube really didn't end up with any RPGs, maybe 2-3 of them actually. and the 360 still doesn't have any. Not to mention that EGM flopped Blue Dragon, and while Lost Odessey does look like it will be a great game, it's not enough to sustain me.

My problem with the PS3 though is that it wont be getting any of the games I want until 2008, probably later too if you take into account the almost inevitable delays. But I think i'll be very satisfied once I get my hands on FFXIII, FF vs XIII, White Knight, Star Ocean 4, Last Remnant etc. Aside from RPGs, I still get some kickass games such as MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2 etc.

Feel free to challenge any point of my message, but don't call me stupid or retarded because I like RPGs more than FPS games. It's simply an opinion/preference.

360 is getting more

blue dragon,enternal sonta,lost oddesey,elveon, and alot more.

Blue Dragon

Two Worlds

Based on your avatar you probably made the right choice. Thing is 360 has more genres covered more thoroughly by (more often than not) better games. Also multiplats look and play better on it and online is much better. Still if you want a system primarily for RPGs then yeah PS3 would be the way to go.

Wii is getting a new Tales game though. but you already got one so youre covered there.

Ummmm 360 no RPG's?...... Lets think..... Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Lost Oddysey, Eternal Sonata, Fable 2bamafan3414

Fable 2 and Mass Effect clearly arent the RPGs the guy is looking for. He mean like FF, DQ style ones im pretty sure.

Firstly, is your question rhetorical cause you didnt answer it in your post? Or did you? I couldnt tell.

Secondly, wait till GS reviews BD before you base you whole desicion on it.

I like how he didn;t mention the biggest RPG Xbox 360 will be getting this year... Mass Effect.

Anyways, whatever floats your boat I guess.

I guess Oblivion and Enchanted Arms (also on PS3 i know) dont count ?

Anyway if you were really a big RPG fan you'd get both systems, i'll be able to enjoy all the great upcoming WRPGS and JRPGS on my 360 and PS3.

360 has no RPGS :shock: I've heard people say 360 has toomany RPGs releasing this year (Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata, theres like one or two others

360 has more RPGs announced right now and the Wii might be the one that gets future RPGs rather then the PS3. The PS2 and PS3 are not the same console and with sales as they are I don't think many developers will be able to invest in RPGs and expect to make their money back. With Wii sales the way they are you can expect a lot more RPGs then the GC had, more like the SNES if it continues this way.

My fault for not making myself clear. Unfortunately I am very close-minded, and prefer to stick with things I know. While games like Mass Effect do look appealing, more often then not when I stray from the standard RPG series I get disappointed (Legend of Dragoon is a good example). Games like Fable aren't what I'm looking for either. I like things such as Final Fantasy, the Tales series, Star Ocean etc.

And yes I'm a fuge Final Fantasy fan, which probably makes my decision extremely biased =D

The problem is, the 360 has been out for around 20 months maybe, and the PS3 only 6-8? and already the PS3 has equivalent or more RPGs announced than the Xbox 360 has, even though the PS3 has been out for less than half the time

They PS3 has REAL rpgs like Final fantasy, White Night Story and folklorei mean Mass Effect as a RPG LOL! The rest of the xbox RPG titles areno goodanyway.

But seriously why even consider taking a 360? In time blu-ray will win the format war, in time the DVD player in xbox wont keep up and u need to upgrade to a HD DVD player which will lose the format war. In time ur xbox will break down so many times you rather just throw it against the wall to save you the troubles. And i can go on.

Anyway good deal your getting a PS3 it will save you a whole lot of trouble and the systems rocks solid hard with great games coming.

I was like you at one point, I still feel like Mass Effect will disappoint me but it wont hurt to try. I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan like you but X-2, and XII disappointed me. You should be more open-minded and try new things, I was once a Sony fanboy(kind of like the hardcore cows on here, exceptlogical) but I tried out the 360 and have enjoyed it. Unfortunately the hardware is as bad as Ben Wallace's free throw percentage.

You never know, theres many things you probably would've enjoyed but by being closed minded you missed out.

Not all RPGs have to have a sword :roll: You make cows look bad. If I was one to make generalizations I would think all cows are that dumb.

Oh, btw if you didnt watch the trailer, the main character in FFXIII uses a gun :o does that not make it an RPG?

I'm sure lemmings and sheep can't deny this. The PS3 will be getting far more RPGs than the 360 and the wii combined. Night_stalker01

Oh ok, so these games are not out yet? shock:

Yes i can deny that statement first off the 360 is getting more rpgs this year(all exclusives)

Mass effect(trilogy) from bioware

Blue Dragon

Eternal Sonata

Lost Odyssey

Two Worlds(also on Pc)

while the ps3 only has one this year(folklore which since you used egm to "flop blue dragon" i will use eurogamer score which was 5/10)

and next year you can look forward to(exclusives)

Infinite Undiscovery

Fable two

so if you are an rpg lover why the heck would you buy a ps3 this year when the only rpg you have to buy flopped according to eurogamer?

other points:

Last Remnant was announced for the 360 as well trailers can be found on xbox live

The new FF or FF VS has been announced although everyone assumes 2008 but you could be waiting until 2009

Star Ocean 4 has not announced any platforms yet from link: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/starocean4/news.html?sid=6170405&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures;title;1

Finally, Yamagishi noted that a brand-new entry in the series, Star Ocean 4, is currently in joint development between Square and longtime series developer Tri-Ace. Specific information on the release date and platforms is set to be announced in the near future

Blue Dragon- it's been DBGT'd..

Two Worlds- Multi-Plat, and will come slightly later to the PS3 with more content

Mass Effect 1-3 Trilogy- do you honestly believe that even if it is a trilogy, that they'll all be out this gen?

MMORpg- could you be a little more exact?

Star Ocean 4 didnt annoucent a platform yet.- and from the series history what honestly makes you think that it'll be on the 360??

Its not that a gun is used but that the game doesnt play like an RPG. It in fact will play less like an RPG than KOTOR did. Not that I think thats a bad thing but as far as RPGs go.... its barely one.
