@TayloredRedWing How original…
@JDFatalist Oh, and I forgot to mention MGS 4>Splinter Cell: Conviction
i really do hope that the connection errors are fixed soon cause i havent been able to play online much cause of it. and the whole getting into a game and waiting in a looby for like 20 minutes while the host starts a game is seriously retarded. for games, thats stoneage stuff. they should make the online where everything is preset on the server and the match starts immediatly. but anyway aside from those online issues, yes this game is beast!
wow looks down and see’s none stop paragraghs about consoles……can we just talk about this guy’s review? or the game?
@JDFatalist I’m not saying that quality is being diminished or raised by these differences. It’s just that those differences clearly present that the PS3 library is more favored than the 360 library. Why else do you think most publications (such as IGN and Gamespot) and gamers think that the PS3 has the more impressive exclusives?
@JDFatalist I’m not clinging to anything. I’m just presenting an argument. Gears of War is in fact in second place. I doesn’t matter if it’s by 2 points, 2 seconds, etc. The differences are there, and that’s final. That doesn’t make it an objective fact because game quality is entirely dependent on personal opinion. I wasn’t twisting anything. I said the PS3 has the higher-scoring library, so that calls the attention of the worst reviewed games as well. I never changed my argument. I’m
@JDFatalist genre bests for each platfrom. Mass Effect 1> Demon’s Souls, Forza 3>Gran Turismo 5, Halo 3>Killzone 2, Infamous 1>Crackdown 1, LBP>Splosion Man, UC2>Gears of War 1, MLB 10: The Show>Kinect Sports, and God of War 3>Ninja Blade according to both metacritic and gamerankings. Whatever differences there are (no matter how inconsiquential you find them) count. I’m not appealing to popularity because that would imply that I think this is all bojective fact, which I don’t think it is.
@JDFatalist There is no such thing as objectively better. It’s all subjective. What that proves is that in most people’s opinions UC2 is better than any 360 exclusive (the same applying to LBP, but with a +1 difference). I’m not using just these games as the basis of my argument. The fact of the matter is that for every number of 360 exclusives, there are a couple or so PS3 exclusives that top them. This is a consistent pattern. If that still doesn’t say anything, then compare the scores of the
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
PS3 has better reviewed games. ur words. u now twist that to “look at the 360′s worse reviewed games, that counts 2!” If console X has tons of high rated games but also a lot of lower rated games, it isnt somehow diminished because of bad games, and Console Y, with fewer top rated games isnt somehow better because one game scored +2 higher LOL. Appealing to OPINIONS when those same scores rate COD 9+ and saying they decide the +2 difference is worth something is unreasonable
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
Additionally, if you go around acting as if the +2 difference is significant in any way then it shows how badly you must cling on to something so childish. It really sinks to the depths of fanboy wars to argue that closely as if a +2 difference objectively makes UC2 king over a 360 game. Fact is 360 has high rated exclusives on top of a whole list of better reviewed games in comparison to position. To act as if Gears is “2nd place” because a 2 point difference is silly
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
A +2 difference means UC2 is objectively better? Sry, but no, MC is a sum of opinions. To tell me that PS3 has the better reviewed library using solely UC2 is flawed reasoning. You continue to twist your original statement that PS3 has better reviewed games. This claim is incorrect, as shown. The 360 has more higher rated games. The difference between “1st placer” games is by 2 meaningless points. This is all aside from the fact that you appeal to popularity, logical fallacy
@JDFatalist The score differences ARE important, I’m not arguing based solely on UC2, hype has nothing to do with actual quality, I was referring to the entirety of both libraries, and the better game library=the library with the higher total average score, not the one that has more higher scoring games. The fact that the 360 has a whole page is meaningless when there are PS3 exclusives that top them. You are going back to your a bunch of 2nd placers>a small group of 1st placers argument again..
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
In fact, ur analogy shows u only pay attention and hold on to the petty +2 scoring of UC2 since you clearly ignore the fact that the entirety of the 360 library outscores and outnumbers the PS3′s. this is according to YOUR appeal to MC and YOUR logic. My argument makes use of the placement of the scores as well as the number of scores: go to MC, list all PS3/360 games, and u will see that, when it comes to placement, the 360 has one whole page more of “better reviewed games”
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
UR words were “better reviewed games” Bringing in lower scores is off the point, especially when those games weren’t hyped anywhere near the level low scoring PS3 games were like LAIR/Haze. A 2 point difference is childish to argue about, it means and says very little. Your appeal to popular opinion is a fallacy, especially when you act as if +2 scoring makes UC2 superior. 360 has MORE HIGHER RATED games: BETTER reviewed library. Your analogy shows your lack of comprehension
@JDFatalist LMAO, if anyone is doing any twisting, it’s you. I’m talking about the entirety of both libraries, not just 70+ like you keep bringing up (and that includes the bad games). It doesn’t matter if you find the scoring differences minimal. They’re still there. Your argument isn’t very good because it’s not indicative of placement. By your logic, a huge team made up of 2nd place winners is better than a small team of 1st place winners…. That’s a pretty nonsensical understanding. =P
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
And bringing up the 360′s worst rated games is pointless, u are here talking about the better rated library, dont divert the topic. Go to your precious MC, 360 has more 70+ games
PS3 is just better end of story
@cheezo545 naa its 4 he’s just playing 3
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
Incorrect, and now you move to the topic of exclusives after boasting about “library”
Your manipulation of the scoring is pointless- LBP and Uncharted’s scoring is arbitrary when you consider the fact that they are not scored significantly higher than any of the other games this gen. Halo is rated 94, Uncharted 96. A 2 point difference is extremely petty for you to brag about. Again, you missed my point: You talk about GOOD “better reviewed games”, the 360 has more.
@JDFatalist No, I did not miss your point. You’re acknowledging the number of games placement while ignoring the placement. PS3 games in each range have a higher ranking score for the most part than the 360 titles. The biggest example is that both LBP and Uncharted 2 are better reviewed than any 360 exclusive released so far. The 360 also has the worst reviewed exclusives of this gen, including Fighters Uncaged and Bomberman: Act Zero. On average, the PS3 library is better reviewed.
Fucking fanboy wars below smh grow up and stop listening to others opinions….
is there 3 player only split screen?
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
Actually, you completely missed my point: the 360 library has both quantity and quality— again, the 360 outnumbers the PS3 in games rated 70+ on Metacritic.
@JDFatalist I do. The 360 does have more games than the PS3, but the PS3 has the better reviewed game library. Quality>Quantity. =]
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER
I hope you realize that both Metacritic and Gamerankings list more 70+ games for the Xbox 360 over the PS3
