Well I have oblivion but I made myself swear that i would play morrowind first (I bought it a year ago and havent touched it) I also have to finish Fable because I know Oblivion is just going to spoil me rotten. The few minutes i played of it ive liked >graphics and proscessing are not an issue with my pc => I just cant get into point and click RPGS TOEE, NWN, and last one i tried Planescape:Torment. I guess I just like active games more.

Torment was a great game, original story, and very dark anti-hero.

^^

some like them some dont same for RPGs *L*

(real time stready:War craft 3

Action RPG:NWN/doungen seige

RPG :Planescape:Torment/fallout

Turn based stradgy :ZOE GBA)

I love a good soiled stradgy game same for FPS's,Actiona nd RPGs *L*

altho ZOE on the GBA has a bonus that no other streadgy game has,when you attack a target a crosshair screen coems up and yu have to get the crosshairs on the picture of the enime in order to hit,hit the bulseye for a critcal dodgeing is simluar,its a bit more than point and click but still its in that gern ^^

Fable is overly short plus if you take to much tiem your guy becoems OLD *L*

the 360 caps out at 400 altho thats a bit high for what it is,its more a 300$ system at best,the PS3 is realy WTF.

even if you add the new drive the whole point in gameing was to amke money off games,Xbox didnt make moeny in the frist few years why in the hell do they want to stagnate console sales by makeing it twice the price....I knwo the japanase can be arragont but this is pushign things 0-o

altho 10 to 1 its a coperation thing LOL

I think if anything, I am annoyed with the pricing of the PS3, what kind of a price is 600$ + for something that plays games, and reads movies. Its the price of a computer!! Why would I put that much into something like that, I would rather buy a computer!!

I gather the PS4, if Sony doesn't go bankrupt, will cost 800+, as the price seem to get more and more incremental with every release of a next generation console.

Comment by: malekite (Jul 04, 2006 15:38)

Yeah i really hope sony isnt serious and will release it at a decent price. North America counts for almost 1/2 theyre market if the PS3 flops over here (and Europe too of course)then that will cripple SCEA the japans sales might be enough to keep SCEJ afloat. Also has anyone heard of any developers pulling out because of the projected price? Just a thought, that if Sony is serious bout $600.00 then I as a game devoloper would know that I wouldnt make any sales and because no one can afford the system and I would lose alot of $ and pull out.

Comment by: hot_ice (Jul 04, 2006 15:41)

There seems to be increments of 200$ + with every release...FUBAR!

hehehe,anyway it might not be worth it,and a 360 even with HD sued wont cover half of the PS3 0-o

best off to hang onto what you got till the dust settles ,I still belive the PS3 will have better games over the 360 but theres jsut so much crap sony has to prove.

the 360 has at least proven it is a ok graphic centered system.

Here's the scoop on the PS3. It's not expensive when you think about what you get. A gaming console, a 60 GB hard drive and a blue-ray DVD, but what's going to kill it is eventually you'll have to upgrade the console to play future games, it's like a computer, and Sony's plan is to get developer's to make games into chapters. You buy the first chapter at the store and future chapters of the game on-line. That's where their going to make up for the mojney lost on the $600 dollar price tag they have on the PS3.

ya but I dot se gamepaly improveing anytiem soon I dont see the PS3 beign worth 600 in 2 or so years... jsut see alot of things that makes it worth every drop of the cash I am putting into it.

in 3+ years deffinately unless Nintendo nuters both the PS3 and the 360 *L*

Comment by: GCamaro95 (Aug 11, 2006 18:13)

Well Zippy, I feel that Nintendo is going to be the winner in the console wars, reasonably priced and the amount of games you can get on-line and the prices are reasonable

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Aug 11, 2006 18:33)

Ture,Nintendo is win win,even the craziests of fanboys will have it as a 2nd console,so with ninedto fillign thier niche's and 2nd console niches nintendos potenial is frighting and the 360 and PS3s almost on the other end,I have a feelign that the PS3 or the 360 will be relaced in the next 3 or 4 years. the PS3 has enough potenial to make it but the rpice might kill it,the 360 is stirfe with what could have beens...there might be soem potenial there.....but I dont know not unless they steal another great PC game like Halo or soemthing.

This is ridiculous. people get pssd off bcoz as soon as a new console comes out people rush to buy it and the next month, it drops over £400! the best time to buy any console is 6 months after its release. There will be more games, there will be cheaper games, the game graphics will have improved, the console would have gone cheaper, there would be "modding" services available, and there would be a smaller, better version of the old console. wait a while, dont be a fool by giving your money away and getting ripped off! the consoles only cost under £50 to build, and yet they are bieng sold for £500!

You know what, even thought I do not live in Europe, that's a LOT of money. Unlike Sony, I am not made out of money!!

FACT: That was based on a $60 price tag for games, which is not going to happen. Add $80 per game which looks realistic, and that price is now $910. Pretty damn close to $1000

*cough*cough*cough*

Hmmm, I wonder what the prices of PS3 games are. Oh, $60?

Seems someone owes me an apology.

I can understand you don't want to look back in hindsight, since doing so demonstrates you were wrong about everything back then and I was in fact correct. Instead of manning up and admitting it and apologizing for your idiotic assertions and boorish behaviour, you continue to act like child.

Comment by: svtstang (Oct 22, 2006 01:02)

LOLOLOLOL your so lame!!! Thats all that needs to be said, despite trying to use big words, your still pathetic! Many people told you whats up, yet you attack me......i dont want to be banned so thats all i will say. BUT, i do advise getting a shrink, finding a girlfriend, and figuring out arguing over old crap like this is lame.....
