Nintendo tells me to jump, I jump.
I've been buying their system and products only ever since I started my gaming days.
... and I have yet to really be disappointed.

Gotta admit, not a big fan of the Wii. I gave it a shot, but I couldn't get into. Guess it's not my niche.
I have played my friends PS3 and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The 360 was pretty fun too, but once I eventually buy a next-gen system I'll probably get a PS3 first.

I've played all three next gen systems, and they all have their pros and cons, but I found PS3 to have the most cons and the fewest pros. The controller design for one is awkward for me. Dual analog is great sure, but when they're both at the bottom like that it messes with my thumbs. I know this is the same design as PS has always had, but I wish they'd change it.

Also, there are maybe 3 PS3 games I like, and one more on the way. I like Folklore, I like Motorstorm and I like the latest Ratchet and Clank. I'm looking forward to Haze, and that's seriously it.

I love the Wii because it's games are multigenre style deals with the focus on creativity and being clever, not exploiting the same cliche's forced out over and over in genre titles, like Halo or Metal Gear.

I mean, Mario and Legend of Zelda hasn't changed in nearly a decade, and each new title is still more creative than anything Halo or Metal Gear has ever done. The art direction actually acknowledges art, instead of shinyness, and the gameplay shifts as the game moves along, instead of being the same strict stuff all the way through.

That's not to say Halo doesn't have it benefits. It was the first large scale FPS to really incorporate maps that were all different than each other. Prior to it most games were corridors or wide open spaces that never reflected any plausible sort of terrain. The exception would be the first TimeSplitters, but that game got completely ignore because it innovated everything, and people hate change. The TimeSplitters seres the best FPS work ever done. Period.

Metal Gear too pushed some boundries. It made stealth gameplay popular, but the concept had been done before, just not in a way the audience would latch on to.

Anyway, this is a matter of taste, and I just like games that don't do the same shit everytime, and are more wacky and offbeat I guess.

Also I like the Wii controller, I haven't enjoyed a gamepad since I got my Wii.

how about i save myself $400 on something i'd only play for a month then get bored with

Philip K Dick · February 29, 2008 07:55 PM

i was under the impression that pc games consisted of fps games, mmorpgs, and rts\\\'s

that all require all require you to upgrade your hardware constantly to play

Halcion · February 29, 2008 08:03 PM

in a few years wii, ps3 and xbox will emulated on to pc, you can already buy an x-box 360 remote for your pc.

vinexist · February 29, 2008 08:38 PM

So to be popular buy everything except a ps3

Philip K Dick · February 29, 2008 08:49 PM

i own all systems so i dont really care but i like my gimickii a lot better than my overheatbox 360 thats for sure!!

Spent $600 to upgrade my PC with a new graphics card and motherboard (it was originally just for the graphics card, but we needed a new motherboard to get the graphics card to work with the computer, so that was an extra $300). Then I had to get a new sound card to be able to use voice chat on games.
Currently I need speakers that sound good (and have bass) and a new microphone that isn't broken.
So, in other words, don't go PC if you can. The games are fun, but god damn it's a hassle and I had to reinstall every single game I had on Steam because Steam decided it hated me and stopped working.
Still, PC gaming is fun. And I can use Garry's Mod. I mostly wanna get a PS3 to play MGS4 and Little Big Planet.

Well, I don't know about you... but I'd want a fairly nice computer even if I never played games on it. I'm not really even much of a gamer to be honest.
When I went to upgrade my computer with a graphics card and a power supply, it cost me like 300$ for the card and another 100$ for the power supply. A little bit pricey, but I can run anything from portal to crysis now.

My computer was already equipt with fairly good with a sound system, it was plenty fast enough, I have a nice 20" widescreen monitor and most everything else I want. Stuff like sound and speed for computers are stuff I'd hate not to have even without playing games.
