None of the quiz contestants seem to be booing, it seems to just be the dicks in the audience.

Proving that strongly favoring or disliking any system right now is retarded.

All of them have significant strengths, and unlike every prior generation (at least in my living memory) there's no clearly superior or inferior system this time around.

I have one friend who is a diehard MS supporter. He seriously gets pissed at me when I buy a PS3 game. Thing he, this guy's favorite games are things like JRPGs, those 'nippon ichi' strategy games, guilty gears, basically everything the Playstation has been home to forever. EVERY time a buy a new game for the PS3 we go though a cycle: he declares I'm wasting my money and shouldn't support such a heartless company, suggests the game will be crap, sees me play it, declares it's stupid the company is losing all this money by making it a PS3 exclusive, then restates his hope that sony goes out of business so that EVERY game will be a 360 title.

Oh, then it usually ends with him trying to borrow my PS3.

It doesn't make sense to buy a PS3 for FPS titles, and it doesn't make sense to buy a 360 for JRPGs. They both have their merits and do different things better than the other.

??? There are more exclusive FPSers on PS3 and more JRPGs on 360. They're all shitty as far as I can tell, but there it is.

The PS3 has more exclusive FPSs that run along the lines of Resistance, MAG, and Haze. The 360 has more JRPGs like Magna Carta 2 and various forgettable titles who'se name I don't care to look up.

At any rate, most of what I was saying about my friend took place in the Ps2/Xbox days.

All pure-console lovers sound like this to me.

At this point the 360 doesn't have a lot of exclusive rpgs anymore. Star Ocean 4, Tales of Vesperia among other are being released for the ps3, and that's because the 360 in japan can barely sell a couple of consoles per week.

The 50% of 360s that haven't failed yet are good consoles. I'm thinking about rolling the dice.

Basically, some people (sony fans, I guess. I can't imagine they're just square fans, it wouldn't make sense that they wouldn't want the game to be multi console and sell better) feel that MS 'stole' final fantasy away from sony because they're a big dumb evil corporation etc, and are loyal to sony, hence this. Does it make sense? No. I can understand if they bought a P3, couldn't afford a 360, then this was announced as 360 only, leaving them out of the game they bought the console for, but that's not the case, so this is dumb.

Some are saying that the game got some things cut for the american market because of the time the ms version sucked away. This is obviously not true, and the cuts seem to be pretty much invisible, but don't even dare contradict them, cuz the're gonna thumb down your comment to oblivion.

one of my sisters lives in japan and she says that in the west we often get a crapper version of the game shipped a lot later. Makes you wonder why people still buy this shit to be honest.

I must be getting old because I can no longer tell who is male and who is female in these damn games.

Honestly, the American market for games is getting better and better all the time. We're seeing less imports as a result, while games like Uncharted, Mass Effect, and God of War are taking the spotlight.

Really, the only company that still brings over the majority of it's titles is Nintendo these days, but that's only because Nintendo is the only company that gives a fuck about the wii (rightly so, I might add).

If I could take back my stars and give em to you I would, good fucking point Pain.

I hear you, I fucking love Final Fantasy to be honest, and while its my personal favorite RPG series, I cant say its the absolute best RPG series (if anything that crown may go to the Mass Effect series, in terms of recent console RPGs).

..though once upon a time it came fairly close, or more to the point I suppose it seemed Square could do no wrong with its RPGs.
