PS3 pulling a Saturn?
markrvp:
God of War 2 will be released this fall for the PS2. Sony should have saved it for the PS3. Oops.

You really need to stop starting your posts with statements like that. Or with things like "you're completely nuts" or "you're insane".

While you're probably right, my post didn't actually start with, "That's just retarded." It started with, "PS1 games mainly were pure crap . . ."
Which, frankly, is just retarded.
Also there are two war games (including Metal Gear Solid which can hardly be called a war game), three racing games, two fighters, two sports games. That's 9 out of 34 that I listed that don't meet with your approval. Anyway, do you think it would be somehow better if the console only made adventure and puzzle games and just ignored any genre that ChadTower wasn't interested in. Why do you think I listed Tekken in spite of hating the Tekken games? Surely you can recognize quality and value in something even if it's not really your thing. And you can pretty much triple the size of my list. They were just the ones that I could think of in about five minutes or so. It's nothing like comprehensive.

And I think Super Mario 64 is better than Super Mario 1. I think Resident Evil 4 is better than Resident Evil 2. I think Virtua Tennis is better than Pong. I don't get it. You're talking about sequels to games that came years later on completely different platforms. The Atari 2600 didn't suck just because better things came out later.

No, but there is no reason I should consider a system something I want based on having games I do not want. I do not care about the opinions of the public. They can make them and succeed with them but to me that does not make a good console. A good console has enough of what I want that I will spend the cost to get it.

that pretty much sums it up. i think the general view is whos the cheapest, who has what games, and who can bring the most joy but i would be lying. video games in general are headed in the wrong direction. just as todays media + Music, back when i was growing up i never once heard a curse word, but as my generation starts to turn every flipping song can express there "emotion" in such violent acts as if it were like this 10 years ago, i wouldve turned my head in disgust. Video games are headed the same direction, instead of playing something for fun, your playing a movie in 3D. its not about fun anymore... its about someone making a whole lot of money off advertising, and for kids, mario is slipping for them and younger and younger kids want games about stuff they really dont know, or should even care about.. for example i heard from a freind that Shadow the hedgehog has some obscene language for a sonic game?. whatever happend to those self explained games? (ive heard this alot but...) who could imagine 70-80's kids growing up being chased by ghosts, eating glowing pills in the dark, and chanting waka waka waka?
