I'm having trouble breathing. So hot, want to touch the
hiney. The idea of fighting ''spirits'' that can come
through walls is scaring me. Jesus I can't wait.

I was actually thinking about this last night. Do i really
want to put myself through the psychological torture of
ANOTHER Silent Hill game? Do i really wanna scare myself
again? Do i really wanna see another freakishly ambiguous
storyline where almost anything can happen and most likely
will?

Yes, yes i do

I seriously have a tough time completing these games. I
could do it in a day, but it usually takes me three because
every once in a while, I just have to say... ''enough is
enough.'' Too hard on the nerves.

"These enemies relfect the team's desire to create a
different kind of fear in the player, that of constantly
being stalked and chased"

Great...more soiled matresses for me.

The Haunted house in SH3 is probably THE MOST scariest thing
i have ever had to endure in a game.

silent hill games give me nightmares for months after
playing them.

plus, simultaneous xbox and ps2 release, brilliance. konami
has finally seen the light.

i really with sh3 was on xbox though, i would have loved to
play that with better graphics.

Jesus, I can just imagine enountering this thing in the
shadows, seeing the outline and then realizing its face is a
fucking BABY as it draws closer. Shudder.

And I regret seeing that pic. I kind of wish they'd keep
these monsters under wraps to make it all the more shocking.
I guess they need to sell it though, and this works.

hrm. I'm on normal. but I haven't been playing it for
a while, but you just get so tired of playing the same boss
hundreds of time. I'm so close to cheating or looking up how
to defeat him, but that would spoil the fun of it.

i hope that the playstation companies give up and just start
making games for the graphically superior xbox, much like
sega makes all their sonic games for gamecube.

it would be the most logical decision since everyone's
beginning to realize just how big the graphical processing
difference is.

actually, i take that back. utter filth like ffx2 can stay
on ps2.

well if you've beaten the gta games on ps2 and xbox like i
have, you wouldn't be using the word "slight" to describe
the graphical differences. it's the same as having a 128
meg video card in one pc and a 32 meg in another. sure
they're both 3d and fairly smooth, but there's SO much more
detail and better anti-aliasing on the high end one that
there's no reason to play the other.

not to mention the depth you can have on xbox games, there's
no possible way for things like morrowind and deus ex 2 to
be on ps2. the load times would be like waiting for paint
to dry.

and then there's the whole 8 meg long-to-access memory card
vs the instant access 80 gig hard drive. and the custom
soundtracks, and i've repeated myself millions of times in
the other 30,000 discussions of why xbox is superior, so i
tire of this.

ok, some games... but with Silent Hill 4 I can't see there
being massive differences in graphics. i've played silent
hill 2 on the PS2 and the graphics were excelent, that kind
of standard is fine for me.


 

offline kochlear from aud-stim.com on 2004-01-10 16:04 [#01027050]
Points: 2311 Status: Addict



well that's simply because that game was developed FOR ps2,
then ported over to xbox. on games like splinter cell where
the process is reversed, you notice and extreme drop in
graphics and an increase in load time.

the in-depth games are always the best ones. i played
through final fantasy x and it was so linear i might as well
have gotten a bag of popcorn an some ju-ju bees.

honestly, i think i speak on behalf of everyone who's
thoroughly played morrowind that it seriously does ruin
gaming for you to an extent. suddenly your standards are
set too high for run-of-the-mill crap to entertain you any
more. a negative side effect of playing such a good game.
:(

ok first off, the Xbox sucks cock, because 1. its a
microsoft product, and bill gates can suck my ass, 2. it
screws up so often, I know 3 people with crapboxes and it
freezes often, and doesnt load shit often..... crappy
system,

and so who cares if it has somewhat better graphics, i could
care less, the thing with xbox is that game developers will
never be in greater number compared to the ps2, for good
reason, xbox is lame crap.

ps2 rocks the house, WAYYY more better quality games, I go
to the store to buy a game and the xbox section is limited
and quite crappy looking, boring titles, now the ps2! it has
a ton of great fuckin games, oh and did I mention its a
microsoft product and that sucks? ha.

SH4 will be the shit.

At first I kind of wanted them to leave it at 3 and call it
a day. But now, after playing 3 and enjoying it so much... I
think I can easily stand another. :)

I guess the one thing I really don't want to see
happen is a movie. I just don't think it would have the same
effect. The comic is also looking pretty lame. The art is
kind of cool, but it doesn't fit well. I think one of the
greatest things about the games is seeing how the monsters
move and twitch. Can't really pull that off with a comic.

Making that 'graphical' reference is utter rubbish. Of
course a system that come sout afterwards will be
'graphically superior.' As much as I feel all three systems
have their strengths and weaknesses, Sony will remain on top
for some time.

I don't even need to state how big of a flop X-Box has been
in Japan (where majority of the game developers are, hence
why it's not their #1 choice).

Heh, not more references about how blocky the x-box is. :]

Regardless, if it doesn't go over well there it's only a
matter of time before the inevitable comes this way. Just
the way it is for the time being, Japan still has the
biggest videogame market.

All we need is love. They all have their merits. I have all
three major consoles, and I definitely like the PS2 the
most, that's my biggest library. Xbox is second and it has
been getting more playtime than PS2 from me lately. I'm more
into gun based games and shooters like Rainbow Six, Splinter
Cell, and Ghost Recon, and Xbox delivers much better in that
regard.

Now, I barely ever play the Gamecube anymore, it's been very
neglected lately. And one of the biggest rays of lights for
me, the new Mario Kart, was extremely underwhelming and I'm
definitely not buying it. I'm looking foward to Twin
Snakes... and that's about it for the short term Nintendo
front. Metroid Prime is going to be great but who knows when
that's due out.

Games are definitely much better when on the Xbox. Best
recent example of this is Max Payne 2, phenomenal for Xbox
and pathetic for PS2.

smooth. and since YOU said it's lame, i am going to
completely change my opinion in favor of yours. especially
since in the 6 months i've had it it has never crashed.

Ophecks: it's not that the other consoles aren't good, it's
just that people bash a video gaming console, that has and
can play the best video games, because it's heavy and the
size of a pc. pretty fucking stupid reasons to judge a
gaming machine.

you can't exactly lift arcade machines but i'm sure NOBODY
would pass up the opportunity to own one.

i prefer the companies who make the games.

the only reason i have ps2 is because i dont like much of
what xbox has to offer in terms of games. other than
multiplatform games. but even if konami does stuff for xbox,
they still do a lot of ps2 exclusive games. i am also into
square enix, and as far as i can tell they wont do anything
with xbox. and you wont see xenosaga on xbox.

i dont doubt that xbox is powerful, i know it is. but right
now considering the money i currently have and how much time
i spend on games, theres no need to change. if xbox had more
games that would appeal to me i would buy it. theres no way
im buying it because of anti aliasing or how it has better
graphics. you could improve upon anything graphically, but
thats missing the point. i thought silent hill 3 had
excellent graphics on ps2. as did 2. could they have been
better on perhaps a different machine? sure, but in the long
run it doesnt make much of a difference, as the game
developers work around the specs of each system. so the
graphics are a bit different, big deal?

unless you are ultra picky like mp3 nazis who only listen to
13409342353 vbr ogg lame gigaram studio kymalogic
1.5va.zip.rar.ape platimenium gold standard mp3s, i really
would see no need to switch suddenly for me. but, thats just
me eh.
