[QUOTE="Citan_Uzuki"][QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="-uHuRu"]first of all, your wordplay is lame and PS3 is appealing, its just a matter of opinion. Xbox 360 is not appealing to me, but thats just my opinion.donalbaneWell, the bulk of the gaming press, even on this site, are having this conversation wheather or not you agree.
True but alot of the press was questioning the need to upgrade this time last year when the 360 didn't really have a compelling game that was not on another platform Cod2 and oblivion arguably the best games at this time last year on 360 were also on PC. Yes I know it had other good games but nothing compelling like say gears of war or even dead rising to really make people want to jump in to the next gen People just seem to put a bigger emphasis on the ps3 because there is competing consoles and they are the maket leader.
I believe in the long run sony will be fine they may not win this gen like they did previous gens but they do have a system that once its library starts to mature will definatly compete and offer a good experience to those who purchase it. I'm sure sony wishes its sales were betterat this stage although they won't admit it but to risk an early price drop or something where they would lose even more money when the library isn't there could mean handicapping them later on once they do start to get a better library.
Right now I think they are wisely spending on dev support and features like home that devs can use to help enhance the upcoming library instead of trying to grab as much early marketshare. Like I said earlier if the sales don't turn upwards by christmas or early next year then I could see them doing a price drop earlier than they would like to stimulate sales.
Sony isn't the market leader anymore, and saying that "well the 360 had good games this time last year, but they were also on PC" ignores the fact that Microsoft gets a piece that action too.
market leader from this gen you know what I meant(by this gen I mean ps2, xbox, GC since the ps2 is still sellin and coming out with games it is only fair to take that into consideration when I talk about market leader in consoles). My point about the games being on pc was that people didn't see compeelling games to make them go out and buy a 360 at that point. You bringing up the fact Ms makes money off games for windows would be like me bring up the fact that sony is still selling a boatload a ps2 yes its good for the company to offset losses but has nothing to do with ps3 or 360 sales.

[QUOTE="Citan_Uzuki"][QUOTE="_Tobli_"][QUOTE="Citan_Uzuki"]If mass effect doesn't get above 9.0 the lemmings will be severly owned I mean mass effect looks great but by the amount of hype it has gotten anything below 9.0 will be a sever disappointment to the people proclaiming it the greatest rpg ever(alot of 360 fans have pretty much already given it the title even though its not out yet and they haven't played it)

Yeah i will be so disappointed if that happens. I mean if one dude says that my most anticipated game isn't AAA i won't buy it. Because everyone knows that games that get less than 3 A's suck ass /sarcasm
Come on it's just one dude's opinion. Besides some of the best games last gen are AA titles like Shadow of the Colossus
I agree but personal opinion and SW opinion are not the same thing everything gets exagerated here like the ps3 game drought. its has had a very solid linup but no AAA = no good games here in SW.
I wouldnt call the lineup a solid one
I would. A great FPS(resistance), great fighter (VF5), good racing games (f1, motorstorm, rr7), qulaity sprts(all multiplatform I know). soon to get an high qulity rpg in oblivion. its not great but it is a solid linup and does have good game sure alot are multiplatform but I'm just saying it does have good game but because many are multiplatform people discount them. Its not as good as the 360 but it really shouldn't be expected this early in the game I was just commenting that it does have quality games yet here in SW people act like it has none because of no AAA.
Its solid not great. hits most of the genres and some good quality in most.
depends on your definition of solid I guess.

[QUOTE="Citan_Uzuki"][QUOTE="wavebrid"][QUOTE="Citan_Uzuki"]just to flame the fire here as an example jade empire great game hyped to high hell on the first xbox same developers pretty much AAA everywhere but here on gamespot only an 8.4. I agree with GS score thpough having played through jade empire I didn't see it warrenting a AAA score although I did thoroughly enjoy the game.

last gen not current gen :|
your point? I'm just saying that its possible the game won't get above 9.0 I mean I honestly think it will get above 9 but if it doesn't there will be some very big damage control on xbox fans part. I think my example was quite valid as both games are rpgs and have similar hype level not to mention developed by the exact same developer. This is merely a what if? thread seeing as the game isn't out speculation is totally fine seeing as people have already proclaimed it best rpg ever and GOTY contender based on videos and game info, nobody has even touched the game except for the media and even then playing a small portion of a game can make it seem awesome but games are rated on the whole experience not just a couple minute playsession or video.
my point is you cant assume something just by perovous gen
an assumption and speculation are totally different. I already said I think the game will get above 9.0 but if it doesn't it will be a big deal here on system wars. I merely used jade empire as an example of a similar game developed by the same company not scoring to the high expectations it had. The fact the games are on different systems in differnt gens is irrelevent, a game can not live up to expectations regardless of how good it looks and mass effect looks very good.
my assumption is that lemmings will be owned based on speculating IF the game doesn't score 9.0 based on its hype, it will be big hit to 360 fans arguments. I feel like I'm repeating myslef here. Simply put people wil be dissappointed if the game doesn't score 9.0 which I think is a safe assumption. I am however not assuming the game will score below 9 just saying it is possible and used jade empire as an example of a game that didn't get the score many people thought it would. Why you brought up the whole gen argument is beyond me.

[QUOTE="ironwarrior2"][QUOTE="bexarath"]I'm starting to get really tired of EA's laziness.wavebrid
That's not laziness. That's weak hardware.
prove it :| oh wait you cant power is better than xbox. looks alot better than cod3
I really think Ea gets a bad rap for developing when I think they are a pretty good developer seems everyone always rags on their mediocre games and forget the good ones they make.
I also think people are discounting the Wii though its still early in the systems lifeccyel sure when compared to the ps3 and 360 it is weak but we don't really know ah what is capable of I guarentee there will be some games this gen that will look beatiful on the system and really make the people calling it a GC with gimmicky remote look stupid.
