Thanks everyone who chimed in on whether or not I should get a PS3.
There's been more games than just those two that I've been interested in (mainly some PSN exclusives like the music shooter one, that one with the line/maze thing that you have to rotate the camera to fill gaps or whatever, flower, among a few others) but I couldn't see myself buying a console for a handful of PSN games. Now that I get netlix through my 360 it wouldn't cost too much extra to get BRDs mailed to me too so I'm seriously considering it. I wouldn't ever rent a system too much of a tease.
Demon Souls sounds like a must-buy and must-buys have been hard to come by for me over the last 3-4 months or so. Other than MW2, ME2, and maybe Bioshock 2 the future releases are looking bleak (for me) so at this point I'm desperate.
Anyway if I get a PS3 I'll let you guys know what my tag will be (I'm sure O1 is taken).
1. Super Metroid (SNES)
2. Super Castlevania IV (SNES)
3.Yoshi's story (SNES)
4. Super Mario World (SNES)
5 Star Fox (SNES)
6. DKC (SNES)
7. SM64 (N64)
8. Pretty much all Zelda reveal trailers
9. Metal Gear Solid 1 (PS1)
10. Battle Arena Toshinden (PS1), hey it was a launch PS1 game and it looked great.
11. Tekken (PS1)
11. Wipeout (PS1)
12. Panzer Dragoon (Saturn)
13. Tomb Raider 1 (Saturn)
14. Halo 1 (xbox)
15. CoR: Escap from Butcher Bay (xbox)
16. Rogue Squadorn 2 (GCN)
17. CoD 2 (360) and mainly for its silky smooth 60fps.
That's just off the top of my head, probably leaving some out.
Borderlands is the shit, get it! The only thing I can complain about (and this is nitpicking) is the game feels slightly linear. One of my favorite things about the game (something that RPGs I've been playing as of late does wrong) is the character DON'T level to you. So if you level grind then move ahead in the game you're actually a bad-ass (I'm looking at you Too Human, Fallout 3, Mass Effect). Get it, you won't be dissapointed. Awesome FPS controls, pretty deep RPG elements, tons of loot, decent AI, I could go on.
Have you been playing much Borderlands because I'm facing some of the same dilemmas when deciding what to level up, what mods to use, which weapons to save, etc.(I'm still on the fence about whether or not I like not having anywhere to store my loot)?
My other question is, would Demon Souls and Uncharted 2 alone warrant a purchase of a PS3? I don't have anything against the PS3, it just hasn't offerened enough different experiences than what I get on my 360 but I love games like Castlevania: SotN where level grinding is almost a necessity and you re-kill the same enemy 100 times to get some rare item. An action game with good RPG elements is at the top of my list for games (why I like Borderlands so much, perfect FPS controls with deep RPG elements).
Anyway, should I finally pony up for a PS3 for these two games, especially since I'm a huge fan of that gametype? Thanks,
I just picked up borderlands today after one of my live friends said it was really good and I kept hearing nothing but good things about it. The art style in the screen shots sorta turned me off to the game but if it's supposed to be that good then I don't care. I haven't played it yet since I've been digging into Tekken 6 (more of a tekken tag fan) but tomorrow I'm going to crack open Borderlands. My gamertag is O1 (the letter O then number 1) I could use a another live friend who plays borderlands if you want to add me.
Soz for the late reply, I only just got your message, I still read the site and still have a read through the comments most of the time, but just haven't logged in for a while.
Much like yourself I suspect, it was just getting stupid, waaaay to many avid, narrow-minded fanboys that get offensive etc, and I felt like every comment I made I was having to check that it couldn't be construed as Bias cause I didn't want to have to worry about the fallout.
Thanks for the nice message though bud, hope to hear from you soon, I will try and appear a bit more now. May get some abouse now though as my first comment for a while is poking fun at a stupid comment! -lol- Can't help myself sometimes!
My xbox 360 just RRoD'd on me. That'll be the fourth one. Say what you will about the 360, it's unreliable as fuck and probably the biggest fuck up of the generation (right after Sony's absurd launch price, anyway).
hopefully I'll be back online within the month >_<.
It's a long read, but it nails exactly what makes Harmonix and Rock Band great, and why this new genre of gaming is much more than a fad...and how Activision simply doesn't 'get' it.
It also makes me sad that game journalism doesn't seem to hold a feather to the likes of the NYT in their own damn industry.
