Video Games XBox 360 vs. PS3 - Page 6

UteChief · 11-16-2012, 09:45 PM

With the $200 holiday bundles. PS3 with Infamous series and Uncharted 1 & 2 or XBox 360 with Forza and Skyrim. I'm trying to decide between a new XBox 360 or a PS3. I'm looking for opinions of each.

Thanks!

I finally picked that up about a week ago for $20 new with a gamestop coupon I got in the mail. So far so good.

Amazing games, same with the Metal Gear HD collection.

MGS4 was the only one I ever liked in that series.

If you're a burnout like me, just be warned that there are some platforming sections in a couple of the games that will make you want to throw your controller!

I ran into one already early on in GoW. The twin snakes or whatever those giant things are and then the huge one.

Anyone have the ratchet and clank hd collection? I like collecting these games more so then the new games to be honest, brings me back to better days when I had the PS2. So far I have MGS collection, JAC, Splinter Cell, Zone of the enders, GOW, Doom 3 BFG edition ( Game freaks me out especially at night, even broad daylight )...oh and btw, I am so pumped for FarCry 3 that it deserves it's own thread honestly this game looks to be the real deal.

I don't think it's the platforming sections that piss me off, more so the puzzles.

Anyone ever remember playing a series called Timesplitters, they made like 3 games, it was the creators of GoldenEye that developed it. They need to make a collection for that, one of my favorite games of all time..and does anyone have Saints Row 2 or 3 or have played it? Game is fun as hell and better then GTA in my opinion ( not story wise but gameplay wise and car customization wise )

Oh no. That's more of a puzzle/fight. That's MILD by comparison.

There's sections with long, spinning beams, covered with blades. If you stand still, you fall off and have to start over. If you get hit with a blade, you fall off and have to start over. If you get hit by one of the spellcasters on the platform ahead of you that you can't see, you fall off and have to start over. If you jump slightly wrong because the angles are ****ed up and you can't rotate the camera, you fall off and have to start over.

Why you no handle platformers?

The puzzles were easy for me. Never spent more than 5 minutes on any of them that I can think of.

Now, the vertical, spinning pillars covered with blades? I spent almost as much time beating that section as I did the ENTIRE REST OF THE GAME COMBINED.

I thought 2 was the best, I haven't touched 3 yet though, heard it's very short.
