A Conversation You’ve Never Heard Before

An obviously fictional conversation between an Xbox-only gamer and a primarily PlayStation gamer that...wait...doesn't contain any name calling and seems to end in peace?

user98412885337d ago

would be nice if people weren't so hateful ;)

imoutofthecontest5337d ago

Trusted words from an analyst and a therapist. You might say you're something of an "analrapist."

"I feel like a Mary without a Peter and a Paul."

I always end up on all fours... like a cat

saladthieves5336d ago

How did this get approved?? Why do people write things like these??

ChickeyCantor5337d ago

Implying that 360 and PS3 gamers only like a certain genre of games.

LAWL.

imoutofthecontest5337d ago

Writing out nods to every single genre would have been a bit long, don't you think?

ChickeyCantor5337d ago (Edited 5337d ago )

Perhaps just saying "I don't like gears of war" and "I don't like Heavy rain" would fit better don't you think?

imoutofthecontest5337d ago

I don't follow. You don't like those games? I suppose they're not for everyone but they seemed like good examples of quality exclusives on each console. Perhaps you feel they were not the best choices and for that I apologize.

ChickeyCantor5337d ago (Edited 5337d ago )

My second comment makes less sense, what i meant was:

"I’ll bet you’d enjoy something like Heavy Rain."
And
"I’m a big fan of action games, particularly pop-n-shoot"

Both sides provide games in equal spectrum.
However you implied that PS3 lovers only like passive-action, novel-like games and 360 lovers only like action shooters.

I just thought it was funny. More like Ironic.

imoutofthecontest5337d ago (Edited 5337d ago )

I don't think that picking those particular exclusives implies that any given person only likes that genre or only that game, they were just examples of exclusive titles on each console.

Each one having a good offering of games is the whole point ^_^ You realize it and that's great, but it's just tiring to see alllll the venomous hate over non-issues, you know? Lots of nitpicking about which system has the best version of multiplatform games, taking a dump on the "other system's" exclusives even though they know dang well they wouldn't be talking that same trash if the tables were turned. So tiring.

gamingdroid5336d ago

I like options and right now there are options.

Take your pick, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3 or PC!

If you are like me, you got all four albeit, my PC does need a slight upgrade on the graphics card.

" don't follow. You don't like those games? I suppose they're not for everyone "

Even being fan of a genre , doesnt mean you'll like every franchise included in it .

I can't stand gears of war for various reasons , mainly the design and appeal that didnt pull me into it . But i'll love stuff like Vanquish and Uncharted easily from the same genre .

I'm a major jrpg fan , but hate Lost odyssey or FFVIII ... etc .

"Lots of nitpicking about which system has the best version of multiplatform games"

yeah i agree that it's most of the time silly . You shouldnt care if you dont have a choice in consoles , in most cases .
And those that have both , dont have them running side by side examining it pixel by pixel . You'll probably just pick a favorite among the two , or wich got most of your friend online

NCAzrael5336d ago

@gamingdroid

Right there with you. Well, except for the PC needing an upgrade. My PC has actually gotten the most attention lately, thanks largely to Rage, the BF3 beta, and The Old Republic beta.

I just wasted 45 seconds of my life

And now another 30 posting this comment

jacksonmichael5336d ago

That only took you 45 seconds to read? And yet, posting this took you 30? Sir, I doubt your math.

BushLitter5335d ago

With regard to the 45 seconds - I'm a law student. Fast reading is a necessity :)

With regard to the 30 seconds - I'm a slow typist :)

Canary5336d ago

Goddamn that was a poorly written and awkward article.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle20d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7720d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg26d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree26d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai26d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde27d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy27d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12527d ago (Edited 27d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
