"PS3 will probably just have one monthly fee", and "PS3 will also have fully functional online play," which is exactly what Xbox Live currently has. Granted many of us at the forums agree with you that the PS3 certainly has the edge but saying things like what you said above does seem highly "fanboy-ish." Maybe check out to see if your claims are correct before promulgating the virtues of the PS3 so readily.Originally Posted by Tidus Andronicus
I have. It's not that great, really, kinda fun sometimes (like Halo 2 with my cousins) but generally unimpressive.Another question. How many of you have actually sat down and played an XBox game for a few hours? This goes out to al of you "Xbox sucks" people.

Tidus read and also download the trailer (which many assume to be FFXI), SE IS going to release FFXI for Xbox360 for no other reason that they could and can make money off of it. FFXII i heard is still a PS release so far.
From what i feel, its up to Sony or MS to charge for online and also up to the game developers to charge for say an MMORPG. So the fees i have to say will be up to them, and i wouldnt be surprised if both of them have fees. We dont even have too much of a definite plan for any console right now(especially Nintendos atm..so under veil). Fanboyism sucks :x
As for Xbox Joel i have played a few from my friends and on demos at stores...and i dont know why but alot of them are kinda lackluster to me somehow...just doesnt have that spark the other games do.
I haven't. I can't bear to do it. It's freaking painful!
Yes. My roommate had one. I didn't find it fun...at all. Of course, Halo is fun online...and only online...but it's on PC aswell, so why waste money on an Xbox, and Xbox live when I can play it on my PC, on dialup, for free?
I'm not one of those "XBOX SUCKS!!1" nazis, but I must say I've yet to see any games worth playing on it that aren't on other platforms. It doesn't make any difference to me what consoles people play...why should I care?
It's just if someone says "OMG UR GAYSTATION TOO SUKS XBOX IS TEH WIN!1!111" and it's more like "Playstation 2 sucks and you suck for playing it...Xbox is awesome", I'm going to respond with why I dislike Xbox.
It's all about the fun of playing the games to me. All Xbox lovers ever seem to tell me is "It's got the best graphics. PS2's graphics suck!" or "It's got a 12793661868931418946984689178643871436 GHZ processor! Your PS2 doesn't have that!"
So yeah...I mean if I saw atleast a handful of games I'd be interested in playing on it, I'd get one...but I've yet to see a handful of games exclusive to Xbox that I'd be interested in playing.
I like Kung-Fu.
Well DMKA what about Katsumi's nice nice package and....*dies* XD
Sorry thats like the only other game i was interested in O_o..besides Halo of course and Halo 2 but it still doesnt make me feel like forking over the money for 3 games.
Look at it this way. US PS2/3 won't have Guilty Gear X2 #reload or SNK Vs Capcom.
maybe so but it does have Guilty Gear 1,2 King of Fighters 1,2 Street fighters 1,2 and 3....if I were to be all anti Xbox (which Im not) I'd probably say "well xbox /2 wont have killzone 1/2 and use Unreal engine 3". but thats not the type of aditude I'm going for.
You cant judge Consoles by if they do/dont have 2D games
I love 2D games ( espically GG ) but I still think Sony has a very good and well rounded games.
And I was fortunate to live in UK to get GGX2 Reload on PS2 yay!
RE5 and MGS4 are so far the reasons why I'm not going for an X-Box 360. I reckon GTA: Sin City and FFXIII (provided both are made) may add to that. RE, MGS, GTA and FF are my favourite game series, and seeing as I'm not made of money, I'll be going for the console that I know is a lot more likely keep me entertained in the long run. If Microsoft get all those series released on their system as well then I'll have to look at it a lot more closely.

LOL when I see that one system is better than another, I become more 'fanboyish' if you will tword that system. But mainly, I just hate microsoft, they are teh evil! =P
Of course, I'm of the belief that Neither Sony, or Microsoft should charge ANYTHING for an online system! There is no reason that Microsoft or Sony should have a Xbox Online service or a PS3 online service... Since I already pay for high speed internet, why do I need to pay them MORE just to hook it up to that internet...
I don't mind paying that kind of fee, as long as the games I play don't charge MORE as well! either that, or I want to only pay my internet fee and then the fees to play the online game... WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO PAY 3 DIFFERENT FEES!! >_<
1: Fee to have internet access.
2: Fee to connect System to that internet access.
3: Fee to play certain games online.
and with microsoft : Fees to get better features to otherwise dull games.
BAH!
Like I said... There shouldn't be ANY #2 fees!!!! I have the internet, and thus a way to get to individual game servers... I dont want to pay just to get my system online.
Either that, or microsoft and Sony should NOT allow 3 party game makers to charge additional fees...
I only want to pay for 2 of those fees... >_>
This is why I don't really care about online games... and why Xbox 360 wont be much fun for me, cause I dont care about its online features... instead I will focus on PS3, its games, and its graphics... who cares if it has online stuff.
ok... enough ranting... I just hope Sony does it right... unlike Microsoft with all its blasted fees...
I like Nintendo's idea, of FREE online play! at least they got the idea right.
If you want to call me a fanboy, fine, I'm a fan boy based on what ever info I see that makes the system I like seem good to me! If I'm wrong, I'd like to be corrected... lol
AND: Samuraid, I was referring to the multiple fees that Microsoft is planning to have on the 360, not to what is currently on Xbox Live. Have you read some of the horrors of 360's fees? o.o its down right scary how much stuff you will have to pay for...

I only agree up to the point of where the game is going to be hosted for online play. On the developer's server or Sony/MS's server? I would say depends...i do hope that it could be free some games online however either way but i do understand certain games need to be paid to play.
Thing is, if they don't standardize it... and make it either the job of MS/Sony to host, or that of the game developer... then we end up having to pay more fees... one for the console, and one for the game...
As easy as it would be to pay one fee for MS or Sony's standard service... Most game developers might want to have controll over their own game's server... thus letting developers make more money off us...
Its just too hard to even work out... Which is why I wish it would just be free totally... or at least just 1 fee that MS or Sony inturn uses to pay the game developers for server services.
Whatever lol... This is why I'll never get an Xbox 360... its too heavilly focused on online play.

Or instead of that you in turn pay if you want to play the game. I would hope that the online fees is nothing and that Sony and Xbox and Nintendo only have something like a well..Battle.net thing and you can be capable of hosting most games off each other's consoles and therefore no need to worry about paying for that stuff. For MMORPGs like FFXI or EQ, the develpers are surely going to host it on their own servers and therefore you need to pay them. But who knows... The point is the developers arent going to pay for MS or Sony or Nintendo to host their games if you dont pay consisntantly them in the first place. No one in their right minds will let tons of people soak up bandwidth and electricity and matienence for free.
Online play is the next revolutionary thing, offline play is the thing of the past, and its good that they are expanding this territory.
As much as Online play is fun in some ways... There are still plenty of good reasons that Solo play is fun and will not die out.
I'm a firm believer that single player games will always be just as popular as multiplayer. Single Player RPGs are still much fun!
And proportionally, there are a LOT more single player games out there, then multiplayer. (at least on videogame consoles lol)
I still like Online games, I just think they need to be less of a hassle. If I want to play a game online, I dont mind paying for that one game, as long as I dont have to pay just to connect my console to the internet (that I already pay for).
I would love to play an Online game like .Hack or something of that nature.
But if All thats available is Online games, then it gets kind of boring... And if each of those Online games has a fee... then people will be stuck playing only one or 2 online games... which can get boring eventually... and it might also lead to the decline of gaming! as more people will put time into the games that they pay monthly for... and that lowers the amount of money smaller 3rd party developers can make... and might cause the game library to become stale.
On the other hand, a game as revolutionary as .Hack would keep me pretty busy and I wouldn't need many other games. XD
