Anybody think that the games on X Box 360 are just in general, glitchier than those of PS3 and Wii? Is it just me, or is one of the most influential things that people look at when reviewing games the graphics? And the X Box fucks itself up so often that most people can't get past that. Sure, the visuals are fine, if not awesome, but the way it runs, just most games just...kill themselves. Like for The Last Remnant: I have a hunch that as soon as it gets out for PS3, people are going to be like...oh...Maybe it is the engine that Square is running, you know, the Unreal one. They might be inexperienced, but has Square ever had glitchy graphics before then? Just compare. Anybody notice a trend here? MAybe it is just me being biased against Microsoft, but seriously...Like Mirror's Edge. For PS3, it is fucking fine, but try it on 360. Any thoughts?

    Also I'm just not sure I understand some of things that are going on in this post. You're saying that when Last Remnant comes out on PS3 people will realize it's UE3s fault? Because it is UE3s fault.



    Also, yes, this is just you being biased against MS. I feel that this is either some weird flamebait post or a shill thread of some weird proportion, or market-research bot that's just gone insane or something.

    Either way, both systems have poorly optimized code. Both systems have glitchy code. UE3 has texture pop-in pretty much universally.


    EDIT: It may also be a weird overflow from GameFAQs or GT forums.

    While I'll admit that the Xbox 360 has been infamous for its hardware failures (3 rings of death, anyone? Disc read errors), I can only disagree with you, my experience on the PS3 has been FAR more glitchy. How many times have Mirror's Edge and LittleBigPlanet simply froze on me and I had to restard the system?

    Anyway, I'm not wasting more time or words on an obvious "lol MS" thread.

    This. For definite.

    First post, first thread, and it's a basher thread. Either he's a kind of board troll, bot, or not that bright, since this is the type of thread that ends up in a giant argument and locked on a good day.

    or something

    But to try to be on topic, my XBox rarely gives me any trouble. The worst I get is sometimes it'll take forever to sign into my profile, but after that it's all good. I can't even think of a time when it's frozen. Honestly, I think I got one that's somehow better made than others. It loads considerably faster than my step brother's or my friend's, and it doesn't even have the Falcon chip in it. I'm lucky :lol:

    Both systems have their high and low points.

    Personally I detest the 360 hardware (I'm on my 3rd one) but I love the games, particularly XBLA.

    On the PS3 side I love the hardware, and the games are pretty good as well, although I personally think the 360 has a slightly better lineup.

    In the end i use both consoles equally. I do find my PS3 gets used more often for it's media capabilties (blu-ray), however I find I play more multi platform titles on the 360 (like controller better as well as friends list).

    You can't really go wrong with either system to be honest. For those on a budget simply looking for a gaming system the edge goes to the 360 simply because you can pick one up for dirt cheap. The PS3 offers pretty much just as good games, but also has blu-ray going for it ... unfortunately that comes at a higher price of entry.

    *shrug* I have both and love both.

    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    Water jets are cool. I'd want to hold it out horizontally and see how far it shoots. Plus, water that cuts metal? What will nerds think of next.

    And the system I use most is the PS3 because of blu-ray. IF x360 had blu-ray I might would have gotten that, but I'm overly afraid of the death thing. How often does that happen anyway?

    No his post was the perfect way of phrasing it.

    Odds are it will never happen to you. Odds are also if it does it certainly will never happen more than once.

    But that doesn't mean that when it does you don't want to fucking shoot MS.
