Hey I hear you on the Singstar front, but honestly it intrigues me more than Mass Effect and Bioshock. I know it's weird, but I guess I'm a different kind of gamer than most. I haven't see sawed in my opinion that I've grown tired of FPS. The same goes for KZ2. I'm not counting the days until it's released. Yeah, I'll rent it because of the hype, but I'm not overly excited about it.
I wasn't being sarcastic. If singstar gets you going, seriously great. I loved karaoke rev on the xbox. People have different tastes. I just think Mass Effect is going to be one of those genre defining games, who knows it might suck.
In the end, I think Sony's presentation was just as solid as MS, if not a little better. Just my opinion. I apologize for being defensive. There are issues that bug me about Sony. I'm not happy with the way they've gone about marketing the PS3. Heck, they should take note of Apple's marketing strategy. Keep it simple and clear exactly what you're getting out of the product. But, that doesn't change the fact I feel good about the future of the console. Same goes obviously for MS.
I think all 3 presentations sucked. I'm not saying MS had the best, I would agree if I had to rate them Sony was the best, followed by MS, then by Matel, Atari and finally Ninetendo
I'll give Microsoft props for showing games we will actually see within 6 months, but christ show us something for the future. The Halo 360, go f*** yourselves.
Sony, I've heard about KZ2 for 3 years, same thing with MGS4. Where are the new IP's?
Ninetendo, have fun with your new fitness "game".
But, why bag on "Home" until you've experienced it? It definitely could suck, but it just might appeal to a large majority of gamers. I think it's pretty cool they're going a different route and not copying the XBL interface.
I wouldn't rag on it without having tried it.
I'll just leave it at saying for someone my age 41, hell anyone who has a life over 25, I don't think it is going to be a hit. Who knows millions of people watch the View and I can't comprehend that either.
Anyways, just my two cents.....have a nice evening.
You're entitled to your opinions, my defensive note was simply because it seems like every time someone expresses a concern with the PS3 you defend it (which is fine) but then always throw in you don't have to worry about the RROD issue.
It's that last part that strikes me as odd that you keep bringing that up. We have collectively as a group beaten the piss out of MS on this issue. The 360 is a mishap of an engineering feat. I sincerely hope they have solved the issue, and the 3 year warranty no matter what anyone thinks is an unprecedented move on their part.
But I question why any of that would have any bearing on if I thought the PS3 was overpriced, the online system was crap and the games are just not there.
I'm not a PS3 hater, I've played the Show more then any game I have ever owned on my 360. I'm not concerned that Konami just pulled the weirdest marketing move (yesterdays comments / todays announcement) with MGS4 as I can still play it. As a Blu Ray player the PS3 is a deal.
I'd like to think I am critical of all systems, but lately I can just feel the console lines dividing here at DSP and it reminds me of the old usenet group days and well I just don't like it.
Anyway that's just my 2 cents.
All I want is the f*cking roster update.
