    Well I didn't say that the platform will by an abyss filled with lackluster worthless but shiny titles for eternity either.

     

    I fully expect some nice stuff to come out on the platform by the end of it's life cycle.

     

    Hell, buying a PS2 on release was a dumbass thing to do. What was on it? SSX? :(

    I agree with Hell Kitty and CoF on this one.  All this talk about things like "consoles are for children, PC's are for adults" or "If you don't like (insert consol or PC), you're stupid!!!" is just idiotic.  Honestly, it's just personal preference!  If someone prefers one console over the other, it's their preference, it doesn't make them childish or stupid.  And it's both stupid and childish to say that PC's are for adults and consoles are for kids.  WTF?  There's an age distinction now?  When did this happen? 

     

    There are plenty of reasons to want to use any kind of gaming platform.  Some people may prefer PC's because of the games, downloadable content, multiple functions, etc.  Some may prefer consoles just because of things like graphics, games available, or what each console may have to offer the gamer.  It doesn't mean that if someone prefers console they're stupid or tastless, etc.  Get a grip, people.  Sure one may prefer a type of platform for given reasons, but to say things like "consoles are for kids" or "X-Box 360 buyers are all stupid" is just stupid and immature in itself.

     

     

    Wait, wait, wait.

     

    I didn't say that 360 buyers aren't stupid. At this point, they're either stupid, bought into the hype, or have more money than brains. There's a handful of launch titles, most of them only got good reviews because goddamn they so shiny, and only a few more titles guranteed to be exclusive to the platform in the future (Halo 3 [4?], Oblivion etc.). Whereas even at this point, everyone knows that Nintendo is going to bring over every single one of their franchises over to the Revolution, with all sorts of innovation because of that nifty controller, and PS3 will have not only the Metal Gear Solid series Blank was saying, but also a quite possibly superior version of Splinter Cell. Remember, the only reason the PS2 versions have been flawed is because of the hardware Ubisoft couldn't push as hard as the Xbox, that's why the Cube versions were marginally better, and the Xbox versions were best. Not like Ubisoft has a preference between consoles, other than money. I'm not sure if they've ever made an exclusive title for any of the consoles.

     

    So yeah, right now even though they haven't been released the PS3 and Revolution look like better buys.

     

    This isn't to say that the 360 won't shape up to be a pretty okay system like the Xbox did, but that buying a console at launch is stupid. So yes, 360 buyers are stupid.

    I'd like to point out that if I am not mistaken the correct term for a ball (spikes or spikeless) on the end of a chain attached to a handle is a flail. A mace is a similar weighted blunt or spiked instrument, attached directly to the handle. A Morning Star is a flail sans handle.

     

    Google Image Search backs me up if you would like to check yourself.

    I currently have a PC, PS2 and GC, and will likely get a PS3. Why? Because the PS3 has games I want to play, which is the same reason I have the other two consoles.

     

    I use the PC for more than just games, so I'll continue to be a PC user even if I stop being a PC gamer (not gonna happen). I have these systems because they meet both my needs (PC - work) and wants (PC + Consoles - games). The needs and wants of anyone else are completely irrelevant to me.

     

    And that's all it comes down to, an individuals needs and wants. If all someone wants to do is play games and all the games they want to play are on console, it's stupid to claim that they would be better off with a PC because "PCs can do so much more!!" if they aren't interested in any of those things. It's like telling someone who only wants to watch DVDs and has no interest in gaming to buy a console because "OMG consoles can play DVDs AND games!!"

     

    Would someone like ShadowPaladin, who seems to play every system, be better off getting rid of all the console systems because Kaftan says "everyone with half a brain prefer a PC"? Of course he bloody well wouldn't, as the only thing he'd be doing is limiting the games he could play. This attitude of "you are wrong/inferior/stupid if your needs and wants do match mine" is so damn juvenile.

     

     

    LIKE WHAT I LIKE OR ELSE YOU'RE WRONG!

     

    BABIES!

    The PS2 keyboard is a POS last I checked though, and won't let you use a regular keyboard, but just the sony one.

     

    There's an adapter sold by some company or other that makes the Xbox fully keyboard/mouse compatible. The review I read about it said that it totally owned in live matches of Halo, because now you could whip yourself around in an instant (like a PC shooter) instead of waiting for the Master Chief to turn.

    I hate shootery games when they're not a side scroller on a console and I liked Prime.

     

    It's really in the first person perspective more because it adds to immersion than because you're doing a lot of run and gun aiming.

     

    Generally you don't aim at all really, but just lock on to the various enemies.

    I've had mine for three years in it's current state.

     

    I expected to have to upgrade for HL2, but it worked okay for that one.

     

    Probably gonna need to upgrade for F.E.A.R., but I don't have the money for that right now so I'm pretty okay playing Bloodlines and my other old games until then.

    Oh yeah, and of course, the console that support Fallout 3: The Chosen One Must Choose wins by default.

     

     

    Isn't it clear man? Fallout 3: The Chosen One Must Choose will be released on the Revolution, in glorious 2D w/ Isometric Top Down 3/4 Perspective! The remote will be used like a mouse, for a higher amount of control than ever seen in a console game!
