I know, it's just... this city is so generally unhip and unwealthy, I usually don't have to worry about stuff like this happening, I've never failed to get a launch system at my leisure. And I didn't see a goddamn sign of any hype or buzz whatsoever despite massive gameshopping in the day(s) leading up to the launch. I thought I was OK. |

i'll just paste what i wrote in sagames: I had my first go at a demo booth today. I was quite impressed with how well Call of Duty 2 played, even though the fixed position the controller was in made it kind of hard to navigate when the going got tough. Aliasing was a bit nasty at times, but the smoke effects blew me away. Kameo played and looked like boring crap :( King Kong's graphics were brilliant and when the T-Rex roared at me, the effects made it seem like it was really pissed off about something. Probably me not being in its mouth, I guess. I didn't really get very far since it kinda ate me a lot. Anyway, I'm pretty damn impressed after initially being sort of lukewarm to the graphics of the launch games. I'll probably go with CoD2 for launch, since the gameplay felt so tight and the AI played pretty well. Hopefully there will come up some more interesting games before Gears of War launches. |

I've been a PS-er from day one. That's mainly because PSOne has had excellent games from the start, although too many of them never landed in Europe, or even the U.S. It was a natural continuation of 16-bit Nintendo quality control combined with Sega-style speed and action. PS2 hasn't been anywhere as wonderful: too many sequels, too many goddamn sequels, too many fucking sequels (MGS, GT, GTA, NHL, NFL, THawk etc). Still, at least these sequels were, on the whole, pretty well done. And there's still Final Fantasy XII on the horizon. X-Box, from the start, seemed in my eyes like a really worthless device. Gates-bashing aside, the games simply didn't convince me. I agree with kaen in the sense that they're only flashing the Halo-guard over and over again. It was an alright enough game, but unless you in addition really dig stuff like NFL, it really had nothing but poor imitations of the best games of each genre available - whether in racing, RPGs, action, platforming etc. Plus: I didn't need an X-Box to play Halo through - I did that on my computer. The same now goes for CoD2, Quake IV etc. (The only raison d'etre for the machine would be its hard drive, which I know people have used as an emulator platform, a music and film catalogue etc. That's putting the Box in some reasonable use. Plus Dead or Alive had bouncing titties.) The 360 now? Well, it's the tired old Halo, CoD2 business all over again. Looking at the selection, I'd say Perfect Dark: Zero Hour looks the most promising (I don't care for sports games). But unless they really drop the BS and start developing some killer games, I'm gonna go on ignoring the hype. I don't know whether X-Box has chances of topping PS as "the" platform of this decade... I don't really care. It's games that count. That's why I'll put N64, PSOne, Dreamcast and GameCube over a dozen X-Boxes, 360, 720 and beyond. |

Totally disagree, the Xbox owned, Microsoft earned second place because their library of games was superior to Nintendo's (the ''Halo is the only good Xbox game'' myth is, well, a myth) and the 360 looks to gain even more ground. That's all well and good that you played Halo on PC, but some people didn't invest in gaming PCs and the Xbox recieved most PC games worth playing. It was very useful to many people in that sense. My CPU isn't good enough to run Thief 2 but I can count on one hand the number of PC games I wanted to play but missed out on, since I got most of them for Xbox. Likewise, some people are not willing to spend all that cash on a new gaming PC they'll have to upgrade soon... you can get an Xbox 360 for a fraction of the cost and play CoD2 and future FPS' on the big screen and Xbox Live, no muss, no fuss. And the 360 will again get most PC games worth playing. People who don't want to spend money to keep their PC up to date but have all three consoles aren't missing much, mostly because of the XBox and the 360. Also, any console game that was multi-platform was always far better on Xbox than the other two. Nobody should have to settle for the Gamecube version of Splinter Cell or the PS2 version of Max Payne, they're weaksauce. Only the Xbox did the PC versions justice. And I can't see how you can diss the Xbox's racing lineup, it's by far the best of any platform. Project Gotham Racing + Forza + Rallisport Challenge= trifecta of ownage. And it had plenty of exlusives worth buying the system for. Aside from those racing games, there's Ninja Gaiden, Jet Set Ret Radio Future, Jade Empire, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Otogi, Shenmue 2, Full Spectrum Warrior... Ninja Gaiden alone is worth billions of dollars. The 360 launch is just kind of OK, but still one of the better launches in recent memory. Just about every game is worth playing. |

I'm a PC gamer, but if I would have to choose a console, which would be based on the games I'd want to play, I'd probably go for xbox 360 too. |

OH NO I CAN'T USE MORE THAN ONE CONSOLE OH MY GOD fuck off |

But if I have a slammin PC, I mean, seriously, do I need an xbox360? |

I dunno, it depends on what games you're into. I certainly couldn't have done without Ninja Gaiden and Panzer Dragoon Orta. The Xbox 360 will undoubtedly have tons of great exclusives too. If you like these exclusives, you might as well get one. If not, you don't need it. |

Are you looking forward to Too Human and Gears of War? |

I think I'm waiting until all 3 are out. I'm getting the Revolution first just because you can play a whole back catalog of Nintendo games. That's going to be insane. I love the new controller as well. The conrollers we have now feel old, they were designed to play 2 dimensional games. The New control scheem looks to be perfect for controlling something in 3 dimensions. I see PS3 and Xbox 2 having a very similar game selection. I actually think Nintendo will have a lot of exclusive games for their console. Time will tell. It'll be fun. Now I have to play some Mario Kart DS online. |
