Metal Reviews

Traitor!

Hardly. I still have my 360, now I just have the best of both worlds.

Wait a minute...aren't you playing through both of the Resistance games? Hypocrite!

I have one, ID is just Sidebot. Online games I have include: NHL09, Resistance, Socom, GTA4, Metal Gear Online, Motorstorm, Haze, and LittleBigPlanet

And online games I actually play: NHL09, Socom, LBP, and Metal gear

Playing through the first one, and I don't own a PS3. I just use my friend and his PS3.

I may buy one for Killzone 2 though...

Cool, I have Socom and Resistance. I'll send you a request, mine is TheFeig. Are you getting Killzone 2? I just preordered it and got the demo code from Gamestop, its awesome...but short.

Just bought the entire Ghost Recon series from steam for 17.49$. Pretty good deal i think.

I'm thinking about buying an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3. The "live"-playing thing is cool but not nessecary and I want the console with the best action games and/or horror games. Which one should I go with?

Haha, this'll be fun! Neither, get a dope PC instead!

Resistance 2

+1

GTA IV for me plays pretty good with patch number 2. At the res and details that you should expect from an XBOX 360. Let's have some fun now.

Ah, yeah? Cool, I knew they'd get themselves sorted eventually. Do you still need to be online if you want to save games?

Yeah, you need to be online to access rockstar social club and get into your account. Pretty annoying.

So... the consoles aren't any good?

Nice! What's your PSN ID? I just got Res 1 & 2 for my birthday, but haven't finished 1 just yet.

Yes they are, despite what a PC elitist might make you think.

I have both (360 & PS3), and if you are only getting one I would say it depends on what you're looking for.

360 is better for online play, and you can get the streaming Netflix (if you live in the US) which is very cool. Plus, multiplats are almost always a sounder investment on 360, since they tend to have exclusive downloadable expansions (Fallout 3 and GTA IV) and a bigger online community.

That said, PS3 has a much more extensive and better list of exclusives, with more on the way this year. Plus, the online is free and you get the added bonus of having a blu ray player.

Consoles are good. Never said they werent. Especially this new generation. But i still can't imagine someone play a FPS with a gamepad, I mean FPS were designed for PCs in the first place.
Also games look better on the PC if you are willing to spend some more money than just 400$.

Oh, I wasn't referring to you, or anyone here, with the "PC elitist" comment. In fact, I agree with your points. The problem is that there are so many shooters that you can't play on PC (Resistance, Killzone, Gears 2, etc). Granted, control isn't nearly as good with a console controller as a mouse and keyboard, but I can live with it.

Crysis. That is all.

Ordered some slightly-older-than-new games in my most recent Amazon order, anyone heard of these?

Assassin's Creed (yeah I know you've heard of this)
Timeshift
Pariah
XIII
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl

Assassins Creed - cool
Timeshift - meh
Pariah - cool
XIII - very cool
STALKER - dont really know

And Mr. Angel, go for the 360. Get X-Box Live and then give me your gamertag.

It depends on what games you want though,

Halo 3?
Gears 2?
Exclusive Fallout 3 DLC?
Exclusive GTA4 DLC? (main video for the DLC uses a Sepultura song, it's going to be win)
Fable 2?

PS3 has some good shit coming out to. But I say start with a 360 then work your way up to a PS3 if you still want more.

Yes they are.

Upgrading your Pc to play games is also a good idea and while it could be more expensive than a console a good PC has so many other uses than just gaming, my gripe with pc gaming is that because developers cant take into consideration what kind of hardware or software you have installed games tend to be more buggy then there is this constant feeling that if you have better equipment the game could look better or play more stable and the risk of buying a game and to be unplayable on your computer.

Ps3 fanboys will tell you that the XBox360 is only good for shooters and online gaming but that is simply not true and while those are definitely its strong points the 360 also has an amazing catalogue of great games from all different genres so if the 360 is your choice youre gonna have a lot of fun with that system, but while Xbox live is an excellent service is also not free and most of its exclusives are also available for PC.

X360 fanboys will tell you that the PS3 has no good games and that is also a lie, true at first the PS3 had very little games but right now is kicking ass with its impressive list of exclusive tittles such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 1 an 2, Killzone 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted, little big planet etc, and its only getting stronger also most games are multiplataform so youre hardly missing anything with that system plus if you have a good HD tv you can experience most games on full 1080p hd, Playstation network is not as robust as Xbox live but it works, it has no lag and most important is free, plus you get one of the best blu-ray players on the market and all versions come with a hard drive the downside is that is more expensive than the 360 but if you ask me its well worth it.

About the Wii, well the Wii is a different beast, it is a good console but its a different kind of console or more well put "is console for a different kind of gamer", if you go with the wii youre gonna miss on most of the great games out there so you can forget about Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid, Fallout 3, Gears of War etc, so what do you get? well you get some really fun games that although more "casual" they are also fairly original but with that you also get alot of crappy games that exploit the gimmick that is the wii-mote (Wii music anyone?) the whole concept of the console is that everyone can play it and because of that i feel that hardcore gamers that bought the console were dissapointed with it but if you take it for what it is you will find lots of fun in it, also is way cheaper than a PS3 or an Xbox360.
