New Game Systems?
« on: December 10, 2006, 11:33:48 AM »
 Hey all I was just wondering with X-mas coming up, did anyone treat themselves or a family member to a new super powered PS3 or the low tech and hilghly innovative Nintendo Wii? Or does anyone around here prefer the 360 to these new game platforms?
 I got my Wii on Nov. 19 and if anyone knows that was the day it was released, I waited in line for only 18 hours. I absolutely
love it. Call me a Nintendo fanboy though, I have stuck around through the crap called the 64 and the OK gamecube. But this new system totally kicks much a$$ and especially LOVE the new Zelda game. OMG Link turns into a wolf how can you go wrong there.

Hello.

The PS3 is a piece of crap with to high a price tag, the 360 may be a far future project. I do intend on getting the Wii as soon as my gutted finances allow. Though I would get it just to play all the old games I grew up on FIRST Zelda anyone ;D.

Hello.
Yah, I will be watching the long line of goobers who return that thing because it is a two bit piece of crap. People haven;t had that thing a month yet and it is being recalled. I will sacrifice my wallet to the Wii at a later date and time.

The 360 rocks on toast.  Gears of War is friggin fantastic, and the 3 Tom Clancy games on it are all stellar.

I've heard bad things of the PS3, and have some friends with the Wii who say it's very cool.

I still have no desire for console gaming.  All the video gaming that I do, I do on the PC.

yeah, but these games are made to play with a controler -> sit on the floor or sofa.

thats the biggest difference to pc games (mouse).

if I just had the money, I might have a console, but so I use my ever useful computer..

Man you are missing out on the Wii, they is no sitting on the couch it is all up on your feet for the most part. Like Red Steel you point and shoot as if you were hold a real gun. In Zelda the fishing is AWESOME. I know it sounds lame and all but when you have to actually throw out your line and then real in with the Nuncuk as if your were holding a real fishing rod. I might get the 360 as well in a few months. I mean for how cool the Wii is, the graphics on the 360 are freakin amazing.

Forget the computers.  They're only going to turn on us anyway.  Y'all saw The Terminator, right?  Now tear yourself away from that nonsense and finish painting your models.

Power to the PC!

Errr...well, I guess that is kinda assumed...

But, back to my main point...PC games rock.   Medieval Total War 2, Half Life 2, Neverwinter Nights 2 and the other fine games destined to find their way to my PC soon... And they all end in 2!    Muahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahaha.

OK, returning you to your regularly scheduled madness...

I need a new PC to play Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, which rocks on toast.

Other then that, I find my Xbox takes care of me. :)

I'm a die hard PC gamer "No mouse, it ain't in my house!"

My biggest frustration is what seems to be the increasing trend of designing games principally for the console and then porting them to the PC as a terrible afterthought, which results in controls designed for a controller which translate poorly to a keyboard.  Or worse yet, franchises that got thier start on the PC abandoning that fanbase to go exclusively to consoles i.e. Call of Duty 3.

I like game consoles mostly for the multiplayer stuff.  Since I don't have X-box live, I tend to hook up me and 3 freinds to the Box for a game of Star Wars Battles, or Ghost Recon.

Now, if the Mechwarrior or X-com series were to continue, I'd be tempted to get a new PC for gamin' :)
