this thread is stupid. so what! does that guy saying those things effect you in anyway, other than you getting angry at him... and another note, have you bean to japan since this generation of consoles came out? well i have and i can tell you, the wii is the most popular console in japan and on top of that ps3's are just sitting on shelfs in tokyo, meanwhile i saw on 3 seperate ocasions a person buying a 360 and a huge stack of games.....wreak
You are a hypocrite. If this thread is "stupid" and this guy saying those things doesn't affect me, then why did you feel the need to post on here? What I'm saying doesn't affect you does it? Other than you getting angry with me of course. Also, no I haven't been to Japan, but just because you have and observed a few transactions, that does not make you an expert on the Japanese game market. You're anecdotes about a few 360 purchases are not nearly enough to shake my unwavering belief that the console is relatively unsuccessful in Japan. I defy you to find me one report, one piece of credible news that says that the Xbox 360 has outsold the PS3 in Japan. Everything I've read says that the PS3 has sold twice as many consoles in Japan in its first four months than the 360 has in its entire life. And I'm not at all worried about Final Fantasy or Metal Gear on the Wii. Technologically it is the weakest of the next gen consoles. It's innovative game play has started, what I believe to be a fad. I say that it is a fad because I cannot envision people maintaining an interest in a game console that offers graphics that are barely better than a gamecube.

I have Armored Core 4 and I have to say that it is not that great. I beat it in about five days. the menus are clunky, the graphics are just so-so, the story makes no sense, the load times are frustrating, and the missions are too short (longest one will probably take you about 8 minutes) Though, despite all of that, I can't say that I totally hate the game. I mean, once you navigate the painful menu system, and wait through yet another seemingly unnecessary load time, you start playing and it is actually FUN. But then it's over in a few minutes and you're back to the frustration. Genji is a game that is also full of frustrations (mainly from it's atrocious camera), but I found that game to be alot more fun and engaging. I would say that if you like the action/adventure type games and you don't want to spend 100 hours on Oblivion, then you should probably get Genji. People will tell you the camera sucks, and it does. People will tell you that it's just button mashing, but that's not entirely true. You can mash buttons and do pretty well, or you can use each characters unique abilities and moves and actually do some pretty cool samuria stuff on the bad guys. I liked it overall

Don't you want these games to succeed?

 

 

tequilasunriser
yes I want these games to succeed. I want them to succeed because they offer the best possible gaming experience. I want them to be games that offer the best graphics, sound, story, and size. To do that, they need the best hardware, which is undeniably on the PS3. I don't know where you get your information because every interview on every gaming website and magazine quotes Kojima as saying that game is being made especially for the unique and superior capabilities of the PS3. And the guy who said that FF exlcusivity is "under discussion" is also mis-informed. It was a French Sony executive, who is relatively low on the totem pole if you ask me. Also, it was pointed out that his statement was grossly misinterpreted due to the language translation. No one else at Sony or Microsoft has corroborated that story. Also, since Sony has a policy of NOT paying for exlcusives, there is nothing to "discuss". If square intends to release FF13 on the 360, chances are pretty good that someone at Square or Microsoft would have said something by now. I will bet anything. I will stake everything I have on the fact that these two games will NEVER play on the Xbox 360

I'll jump on the Sephiroth bandwagon. I can't remember HATING a video game character more. When he killed Aeris, I made it my life's mission to finish the game just to get back at that son of a **** Usually you play through a game for fun, enjoyment, a sense of accomplishment upon finishing it, unlockables, or a quality ending. But FF7 was the first and only time I was MOTIVATED to finish the game because I wanted revenge.

[QUOTE="freediro"]its sad i have actually reported a couple of employees, to the corporation, who blatantly miss-inform customers and deny them from buying something, i usually step in because the employees from there have nothing to say or prove themselves so most customer realize the employee is being a jacka**. its sad but people cannot overcome the stupidity that lies in their mind.BikerPunk
i step in as well, when i hear an employee giving a BS story. Most stores i go to arent that bad, but the dudes at BestBuy and Future shop are famous for feeding people Lies. I give a real credit to the EB Games by my place, who have been honest, and told me when a game sucked. They have talked me out of game purchases before.......they probably treat me good cause i am always there picking up a new game/controller/etc. VIP baby. woot.

You're lucky that your EB gives you the straight dope on games. That is surprising to me because when i worked a FuncoLand, our DM instituted a policy that we were NOT ALLOWED to give opinions on games. Whenever a customer asked about the quality of a game, we would have to reply that we either had not played it, or that it was "pretty good". Though, to my own credit, I lobbyed hard and finally got the manager to agree to allow me to give unfavorable opinions of SuperMan 64

[QUOTE="CajunShooter"][QUOTE="ghaleon0721"] God of War - Now this one just threw me. Because not even the pathetic, misinformed, illogical fanboys that infect these boards would say something so blatently idiotic. The game just happened to be in front of me on the shelf and I picked it up and scanned the back cover. published by SONY. licensed by SONY. Distributed by SONY. Copyright SONY. The real sad part here is that this same clerk is probably going to condescendingly scoff at some poor mother next christmas because she wants to buy a Mario game for her kid's PS2.

Not only did Sony publish the game but they actually developed it. It was made by a branch of Sony in Santa Monica

I know, and this especially enrages me because just a few days earlier i read a piece on gamesradar.com about gamestore clerks and one of the people they interviewed said that one of his biggest pet peeves was when some uninformed parent came in asking for a Mario game on playstation. That in and of itself is dumb because he can't expect a parent who is a non-gamer to just automatically have an uderstanding of the major players and products in the gaming industry. But add to that the fact that a game store clerk who proclaims to be knowledgable on the subject would actually tell people that a first party franchise will appear on a competing console and I think the contradiction is enough to tear a hole in the very fabric of the universe. And one more thing on this....the April issue of PSM magazine did an interview with the developer of god of war and he said that although he envisioned GOW as a trilogy, he would wait and see how the second game sells before he starts work on the third. So this clerk is claiming multi-platformism for a game that DOES NOT EXIST

[QUOTE="The_Rick_14"][QUOTE="Krigon"][QUOTE="Ngon"]

[QUOTE="coolguy681"]I think I know why? I heard that they are wating until enough people buy the PS3 before they put it out in stores. They are clearly waiting for a good fanbase. Ubisoft wouldnt delay a game 3 times unless it was a good reason. So they are just waiting.Krigon

the one just release was just lame... i think they're tweaking it and waitting for a bigger fan base

as long as it does'nt look like Splinter Cell (in terms of lighting and other graphical misses) when it releases!

so have you played SC on PS3?

Triend it out abit.

I have no idea what Splinter Cell is like on other consoles, but I can attest to the graphical glitches in the PS3 version. I have it, and I'm at the part where you have to place a bomb on the cruise ship in Mexico. Already I've had several instances where Same would just get hung up on NOTHING. I mean I would try to walk, but get stuck like there was a wall there, but there was actually nothing. I've seen several instances of what I call "hiccups" where I will be walking along smoothly then suddenly the animation gets chopped up and suddenly I've "teleported" two steps further. During the prison break mission, I got an objective to hijack the news helicopter. I aimed my gun at it and shot it. Then it disappeared. I don't mean that it fell behind something. I don't mean that it crashed. I mean, I pointed my gun at it, pulled the trigger, then it was just gone. I've also had the game freeze a few times to the point where I had to get up and manully reset the PS3 Ubisoft can take all the time they need with R6 as long as it doesn't come out like Splinter Cell

i heard there might be some GOW news coming out soon? anyone know whats up?freediro
. The April issue of PSM magazine had an interview with the developer. He said that he envisioned GOW as a trilogy but would have to see how well GOW2 sells before he will begin work on the third game.

Where are these GameStops located? I work for GameStop/EB but the ones in my area are objective. I would recommend you to report him. If you want action, take action.darkagent0019
Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, NH I'm not going to report him. I think the idea of him getting reamed out the angry parents who all promised little Johnny that he could get Final Fantasy for his Xbox this christmas is punishment enough. Besides, who is to say that the person I report him to will even accept the fact that this guy is lying. I used to work at Funco Land and my manager at the time was always full of crap like that. In retrospect, I think the proper thing to do would be to rush to the counter and ask to reserve a copy of Metal Gear Solid for the 360 and catch him in his own lie.

wow. Just goes to show you some or most people working at those stores dont know a damn about videogames.

1. Devil May Cry 4: True.

2. FFXIII: Could happen. (keep in mind that exclusivity is nder discussion. So we should know by E3)

3. God of War 3: Are you serious?

4. MGS4: This one could actualy happen people,but not very likely.

black_awpN1
I disagree with you when you say that "people working at those stores don't know a damn about videogames". The problem is that this guy DOES KNOW. And he chooses to LIE. And FF and MGS will not be multi-platform. Kojima has said MANY times publicly that MGS is made for the PS3. Period. Also, FF is being built from teh ground up for the PS3. I can't imagine Square Enix re-desiging its engine just so that it can port a game to a system that hasn't even sold a million units in Japan.
