You're welcome for Saints Row. :)

Terumoto 09-14-06 08:51 PM

lmao... I love nintendo. Their games = way more fun than most other games.

Its hilarious... its always the preteens and teens that say "omg nitendo r so stoopid, their games are made 4 kids and deres no gta on it!?!!!!111!!!"

And the mature gamers, and the ones who actually have lives based around playing games (meaning magazine editors, game reviewers, etc) all say nintendo games are impressive as fuck, and insanely fun.

TROUBLESOME™ 09-14-06 09:00 PM

fuck nintendo.................**smashes game cube**
there games r gay....no blood.....sum of tha role playin is dec but id way rather hit up any other game system

Terumoto 09-14-06 09:34 PM

lol... exactly.

People like you would rather have a game that you get bored of in like two seconds and is completely shit if it has either:

1. Black people (preferably gangstas)
2. Guns
3. Blood and gore
4. Something to do with breaking the law
5. Done up cars (must have black people)

Shear Kaughn 09-14-06 10:33 PM

^^^your pretty much wrong because my sister has a gamecube and i've seen and played the games on that console....they are very cartoonish and seemed to be aimed at a younger audience and just arn't that appealing......and i'm not the only one who feels this way...

for most older people...18 or older...this shit is really lame..

..i mean....you may like this juvenile shit...but me..... :nono:

Terumoto 09-14-06 10:45 PM

OK, howbout resident evil as a direct response thats gory and RE4 was originally just for gamecube before it got ported... Did your sister have every game?

Just because the graphics are "cartoonish" doesnt mean its a bad game. Also doesnt mean its intended purely for children...

For example, theres a game for GC that got ported to DS, that is considered a kids game. Its called animal crossing. Its rated with the lowest rating because the graphics look kiddy, the censorship guys were just like oyeah, fair enough. But the game is literally jam-packed full of adult themes such as sex, lesbians, smoking pot, psychadelic drugs, radical social and philosophical ideas... Its funny as fuck.

Terumoto 09-14-06 10:47 PM

Oh and I guarantee to you that the wii will have PLENTY of "violent" games if thats what youre after...

More or less every single third party developer (including rockstar, valve, konami, namco, THQ, square-enix, etc) has expressed a HUGE amount of interest in the console and its creative possibilities.

Kirk 09-14-06 11:19 PM

Red Steel. (A samurai based game I'm looking foward too.)
Metroid Prime 3. A space shooter.
Far Cry: Vengeance. A shooter.
Call of Duty 3.
The Godfather.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. I think you know.
Prince of Persia.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

That's for all you "there's no violent games."

And if you base the fun factor of violence/robbery/killing/etc. then you're an idiot.

Kirk 09-14-06 11:24 PM

P.S. - Don't generalize a system when you don't know shit about anything.

Terumoto 09-14-06 11:25 PM

Word.... :thumbup:

-TeamOne- 09-14-06 11:27 PM

regardless, ps3 shits on wii and 360

Kirk 09-14-06 11:32 PM

Explain yourself.

p4ntzistheish 09-14-06 11:40 PM

I's funnyarguing video gmaes to people who bust buts over graphics.
1. 'ZOMG I looks amazing"
2. "Dude It's Pong"
1. "But The graphics...OMG!"

JTR 09-14-06 11:40 PM

I'll tell you why xbox 360 is better

- The elder scrolls: Oblivion
- Halo 3
- Dead Rising

those 3 games kill that shit

1. PC eats this shit.
2. Not out yet.
3. Now this....is pimp.

But MGS4 eats Xbox 360 and shits on the remains as it burns in a fire. Wii has Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Zelda. I think 360 loses there. Checkmate.

G Deuce 09-14-06 11:48 PM

PS3 Graphics will be on the same line as 360, but $200 to $300 more. Buy a 360 and a Wii. Two for the price of one. Plus, Wii is more interactive game playing then either two. Plus the graphics are top line too, but less expensive.

Got elder scrolls on PC. And its coming out on PS3 as well, with better graphics than the 360 version.

Halo 3 - I guess its personal preference, but ive never liked the halo series. So much hype for just a normal FPS. And playing FPSs, especially multiplayer, is TERRIBLE on that kind of controller. Wii has the whole FPS business on lockdown.

- Dead rising... Whats so good about it?

.
.

About 360 being same as PS3 but cheaper. Nope... Far from the truth. PS3 = A blu-ray player with top of the line processing power (wtf 7 CPU cores) and a kick ass GPU. Games that have the ability to be 50GB (theoretically blu-ray is capable of holding up to 200GB on a four layered disk)... = Longer games, better graphics, higher resolutions, more media, more processing power, japans technological ingenuity...

PS3>360.

360 is pretty cool. Some nice processing, a good GPU. But HD-DVD is lame... Ive got that shit in my standard issue laptop that work gives me.

The reason the graphics for ps3 and 360 will look about the same or slightly different at launch is because nobody has any idea how to program properly for the hardware. 7 CPU cores is something nobody has ever seen before, its next generation technology, new stuff. 360 I think has 3 (same as PS2 and xbox, it might have four, I cant remember). So it will only get slightly better... Where PS3 performance will steadily rise with time.

Wii will definitely win this round of console wars though. Its got the value, the innovation, and the pure dopeness. As well as nintendos uncanny ability to make great games, and the huge bandwagon of highly acclaimed third party devs that LOVE it.

This generation gamers really have only two choices, not three.

Its either PSWii, or Wii60.

Nintendo Wii wirelessly communicates with the internet.

You can play Gamecube games aswell as download hundreds of older games from NES, SNES, Sega Genesis (yes, sega), N64 and NEC TurboGfx platforms.

It's not the size of a steamboat.

You can use the nunchuck, gamecube controller, or third party controllers.

Wii stays connected to the internet even when power is off. (updates)

The Nunchuck brings out new oppurtunities. Such as in the game Red Steel, you use it to use a sword. Blocking and slashing with your movements. Owning the Oblivion combat system. (the sword fighting anyway)

If you say this isn't the most innovative and creative you're bonkers.

Wether you like to think so or not, variety of games goes to Wii.

Oh yeah, and the Wii Channel. Aside from a few pointless channels, you can find out the local weather, breaking news, access the internet, the shopping channel, which allows you to download hundreds of games. Etc.

So what does ps3 have that Wii doesn't? Graphics? "OH, i want it so realistic." Don't people play video games to escape reality and not to find another one?

And I guess ps3 has the same old gay controller too. 11 years and no advance except the look of a boomerang. Hm.

Sony went back to the original shit, but took our Vibration and put in a half-assed motion sensor. lol

Terumoto 09-15-06 10:22 AM

Yeah, shit was smooth.

*Sony unveilvs batarang controller*

Public: ".......wtf?"

*Nintendo unveils wii-mote*

Public: "omfg cool"

*Sony unveils NEW IMPROVED controller, which ironically looks exactly the same as every previous sony controller*

Public: "Fair enough... vibration?"

Sony: "No, but brand new innovation we thought of years ago and never mentioned or had any intention of actually putting into a controller; one dimensional motion detection input!"

Public: "K."

----

Not that sony is bad at developing games, controlelrs or consoles, but that one little move was a little bit suspect. lol.

%%%% 09-15-06 01:44 PM

I'm getting Wii for sure.I've always been a fan of Nintendo's.Besides,where else can someone get Metriod Prime and Zelda?

TROUBLESOME™ 09-15-06 01:49 PM

zelda pwns.............so itll be ill for that

Kirk 09-15-06 04:17 PM

Where'd all those people go that were talking shit?

TROUBLESOME™ 09-15-06 04:25 PM

i was talkin shit.........but it will be good for those kind of games no doubt im playin summener right now and thats a nintendo style game rpg....which r ill.....so it wont be that bad....i just dont feel most of tha games...

So can the PS3, theyre called roms

It's not the size of a steamboat.

neither is the ps3, its not like im gonna be carrying it around in my pocket anyway, the size is fine

You can use the nunchuck, gamecube controller, or third party controllers.
to me that comtroller is super gay, they gamecube controller is also supergay

Wii stays connected to the internet even when power is off. (updates)

who cares? when in need of an update ill just leave it on, i can afford it

The Nunchuck brings out new oppurtunities. Such as in the game Red Steel, you use it to use a sword. Blocking and slashing with your movements. Owning the Oblivion combat system. (the sword fighting anyway)

so does the ps3 controller

If you say this isn't the most innovative and creative you're bonkers.

Wether you like to think so or not, variety of games goes to Wii.

not as much variety as PS3

Oh yeah, and the Wii Channel. Aside from a few pointless channels, you can find out the local weather, breaking news, access the internet, the shopping channel, which allows you to download hundreds of games. Etc.

PS3 has this and more

So what does ps3 have that Wii doesn't? Graphics? "OH, i want it so realistic." Don't people play video games to escape reality and not to find another one?

no PS3 also has more games, full internet browser, the capability to acces your ps3's music from a different city or state(if you have a PSP) also you can download PSP games to your PS3 HD and play them on your PSP from anywhere, defeating the purpose of ever buying a psp memory card, or game again, loads of shyt dawg

And I guess ps3 has the same old gay controller too. 11 years and no advance except the look of a boomerang. Hm.

that controller has been the best controller every since it came out, easiest to navigate and use, i hope they never change it



PS3 kils son, face it, cmon now youll never get bored on a game even after you beat it, cuz after you beat it ou can download the new levels, and characters and story lines that come out each month

yea i agree, but hey evryone has their little bumps, lmao they also stole the xbox's console button

Kirk 09-15-06 08:40 PM

Yes, I could get on RV from the Wii.

Nintendo Wii is alot smaller and sexier.

To you that controller is gay. Glad you've enjoyed playing the same thing for years. :bored:

With Wii you won't even have to update yourself. It saves you the trouble.

The PS3 controller can't match Wii's so don't even say it does.

:bored: You find so many of the same types of games on PS3. Whereas Wii has something for everyone.

What more does Ps3 have than what I said?

And the shit with the controller is just a matter of opinion.

Kirk 09-15-06 08:49 PM

P.S. - Wii connects to the DS aswell but I'm not sure to what extent.
