    there are plenty of decent ps3 exclusives

    plus you have the bonus of no multi-disc games

    so you can rent stuff like LA Noire and Rage and Battlefield 3 from the redbox

    plus you never have to pay money to play online, so when you feel the urge to bust out street fighter one day you don't have to worry about being able to lose to all sorts of people

    Yes but I already have played those on my Xbox

    and I don't pay for my Live subscription, so that's a nonfactor

    also the PS1/PS2 library on PSN is kind of incredible, although the prices aren't great

    I never thought I'd be able to play Um Jammer Lammy again, yet five dollars later it's mine forever

    I own more wii games than ps3 games, but it's use as a BD player makes up for it.

    By a lot

    If I got a PS3 it'd be for stuff like Uncharted and because a bunch of my friends who play fighting games play them on PS3 so I can finally fight them.

    As someone who likes very few JRPGs, let me tell you that it does away with a lot of JRPG bullshit and has actually had me playing my Wii consistently lately (I don't know what it would be like with a remote, as I use a classic controller)

    so i'm catching up on the Welcome Back Tricaster thing and they announced the 12-hour Skyrim stream but Jeff said it was only gonna be Greg Kasavin and a mic

    I mean I like Greg and all but I wonder how entertaining that will all be if there really aren't going to be people popping in and out

    This. The only games I have on my 360 at this point are Rock Band games, because that's all my wife plays (when she plays games at all). I got a PS3 last December and have since made a full transition onto it as my platform of choice.

    I literally know nothing about it other than it is a JRPG and that it's been the subject of controversy because Nintendo is dumb and can't do anything right for their fans

    but I can buy it all I want!

    also something happened in the Bombcast the other day regarding Uncharted that kind of pissed me off after beating it

    they're all confused what the title Drake's Deception actually means and treat it as a negative

    if you pay attention to the game's story it is super obvious what it's referring to

    like, it's not even a metaphor

    I don't know whether it would be to your liking or not as it's still a JRPG that throws a lot of tutorials your way, will be hard to read on standard def and has an annoying 'cute' team member, but it is still a beautiful game with great combat, music and locations

    I like the PS3's interface 100% better than I liked the Xbox's. It's clean and not screaming neon ads at me constantly. It's lovely.

    Also I watched that Skyrim statue unboxing and now I know what all of the Bombcast guys look like and it's weirding me out when I listen to the podcast. In my head Gary Witta looks like John Oliver and now I'm afraid to see what he actually looks like.

  • AdusAdus Registered User regular
    Wait so you're like one of those people who listened to the bombcast but never actually went to the site? That's really weird. I mean I like the bombcast and everything but it's not even close to the best piece of content they produce.

    Also I bought a Wii for Zelda the first time, screw doing that again. I actually really enjoyed TP, but I didn't care for anything else. Even Galaxy which everyone raved about just wasn't very fun.

    whoa what

    explain your thoughts on Galaxy, please

    I mean I really do not like the Wii or what it represents for various reasons, but Galaxy made me feel like I was 6 years old again

    it was, for me, an experience of pure joy

    Giant Bomb's ability to take the most bland piece of software imaginable and turn it into Sky Train sums up everything i love about them

    All right I don't like this forum software. Shows me as having double posted so I edit one then after that there's only one post again.

    @YaYa - I don't know, man. It was just one of those things where I played it for a couple hours then didn't really feel compelled to keep going. I don't know if I've really been interested in a Mario related thing since SM64, honestly.

    I've discovered that 3D Mario games really aren't for me

    I just don't dig em all that much. Or any other 3D Platformer for that matter.

    Do you have a 3DS?

    Well then you're lucky you found out you dislike 3D before you got one!

    You do realize I don't mean 3D like Avatar or 3D movies

    3D platformers meaning stuff like Mario 64

    My mom was thinking about buying a 3DTV.

    Which ones are the best?

    My mom was thinking about buying a 3DTV.

    Which ones are the best?

    one that doesn't do 3D

    I know that's not exactly what you wanted, but it'll cost much less and do everything useful that you'll want a quality TV to do, so

    I'm looking forward to hearing what he has to say about it on the next bombcast. He was totally against even trying it up until now

    also, i think i should buy that game

    All the high end TVs have 3D now. If you want 2D quality that's better than stuff from 2008, you're going to end up with a 3D TV.

    That said, home 3D isn't going to take off until the good brands (Sony, Samsung, Panasonic) switch to passive 3D.
