Faux Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 i have a ps3. used to have a 360 but not anymore. these are the biggest flaws with ps3: loading times feel really long. i don't really play often so if i want to play a console game i want something that starts up fast and 15 mins later i'm done. not to mention the updates. so many updates. online is BAD. not nintendo bad, but i avoid playing with friends because of how painful it is. if you're used to Live and Bungie's online combination, PS3 is like trying to sew using your hands instead of a sewing machine. yes, it's possible to play online. but it's just not as fun or as efficient. that $60 people pay for live is completely worth it just because Live does it so well. not to mention that if you've ever used the group chat on live, you feel so spoiled after going back to PSN. that entire schtick about how Live has the worst community ever? It's completely bs. Online is online across the board whether it's PSN or PC. Also people on PSN are a lot less social than Live. Every now and then in a Halo game you'd have everyone wearing a headset. A game on PSN with half the players using a headset would be a rarity. that's pretty much it. oh and i never used the bluray ever. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I think people on PSN would be more social if Sony included a free headset like Microsoft. Till this day I still don't understand why they haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till this day I still don't understand why they haven't. japanese vs north american customs with gaming. if you look at the most popular games in japan they're mostly single player (jrpgs, mario, etc). while the best sellers in america are sports games and CoD if it wasn't for microsoft i don't think console online gaming would be the way it is right now. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 japanese vs north american customs with gaming. if you look at the most popular games in japan they're mostly single player (jrpgs, mario, etc). while the best sellers in america are sports games and CoD if it wasn't for microsoft i don't think console online gaming would be the way it is right now.And when they do have it, Japan's multiplayer seems to be more about local multiplayer, since you have a huge population in a small area. Meanwhile, the States/Canada/Europe's population is more spread out, so we're going to prefer online multiplayer. Assuming that I'm not talking out of my ass, it does make sense that the Western company is the one that focuses on online multiplayer.

sarg1010 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 What everyone is saying about the social aspect (in regards to the headset for the PS3) is completely true. In my short time having a PS3 and MAG, which was about two months, I only had around ten matches that even just one person in my squad had a headset, and squads had around ten people in it IIRC. Granted, there were 128 people per team in the largest game mode, so maybe I was just never stuck with people that had mics. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

People might think I'm ragging on the PS3 without playing it but I did prestige on MW2 and maxed out the engineer on BF3. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossed_Body Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Cod,elder scrolls, sports.You've got all of those in the 360. AND the PC is the superior platform for both cod and elder scrolls. No need to grab a ps3 if that's all you play. What is ABAP? As ballin' as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estonian dude Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 You don't need an xbox controller, I have an aftermarket Saitek one that I can use both on my PS3 and my computers. And the only game that I've played that isn't compatible with that is Dirt 3... Which is weird, since Dirt 2 is supported. So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

It's just different.once you over look the:graphicsmassive FPS difference which is huge for shootersone of the most important ones; modding in singleplayer and sometimes multiplayer gamesbeing in control of your hardware and being able to upgrade, not waiting 10 years between each microsoft consolePC can handle far more, biggest example being bf3. You're telling me 64 man servers - 24 is not comparable in superiority, simply different? I don't think so tl;drthe PS3 has no games If you quote me please be sure to note that I'm extremely mad.

Alg Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Why is it that a friendly discussion about consoles always devolves into "PC is superior"? Seriously, everyone was getting along before that.

Low Levelled Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 I know.. I was kind of happy this didn't turn into a war. Till now. Pc is not comparable to ps3/360. So it doesn't really need mentioning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estonian dude Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I_am_Not, go back to your trollcave for writing such nonsense in here. The PS3 is not Japan's and Europe's most popular gaming console (besides PS2 and DS, ofc) for nothing. PS3 has a massive library of games, but you 'Muricans do not get all the good stuff. And even what you do get is sometimes insanely good. There is still no 360 equivalent to games like Metal Gear Solid 4, God of War III, Uncharted trilogy, MAG and numerous more. Oh, Valkyria Chronicles deserves a mention everywhere. Granted, online experience and some games are better on the 360, but that has already been said. They both have their own +'s and -'s and that is it. If you have the money for games and console and already have a 360, go ahead, try it out. There is a whole new world of games awaiting. Oh, and has anyone mentioned PC/PS3 co-op? On some games, like Portal 2 it is possible. And Dust 514, which directly influences EVE Online.

decebal Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 tl;drthe PS3 has no gamesThat's not a tl;dr, that's an assumption. And a very ill-informed one at that. Anyway, barring any "PC is superior" comments (which it is if you like modding, and shelling out cash to make an amazing rig), the game franchises you like define what console you should get. Like Halo and Gears of War? Go for a 360. Like Uncharted and Killzone? Go for a PS3. For me, personally, I preffer the ps3, I won't deny that. I've been in love with the Resistance series because Insomniac isn't afraid of making things hopeless to the point that the main character has to be killed. Also, the ps3 has a higher limit on the number of players it can support in one match for many games (MAG, R2), although I'm not sure if that's a hardware thing or a developer's choice. The only weakness I've seen lately with the PS3 architecture is that it is a lot more rigid in RAM usage, which led to lag (thankfully fixed) in Skyrim. The fact that many multi-platform titles tend to be ported over to the PS3 also means that sometimes they don't pay as much attention to the final product (with Bethesda being the main culprit here).
