Saaking5269d ago

sonarus5268d ago

Budg3tG4m3r5268d ago

Whut5268d ago

JokesOnYou5268d ago

Hide your women and children the X-terminator is here to turn us all into mindless Xbots. Oh the horror! Look they even disguised him to be an NFL analyst, ha ha lucky for me I spotted that 360 Controller of Mass Destruction and turned off my TV before I got hypnotized. Damm you micro!, Damm you for ending the world in 2012!

JOY

Lightsaber5268d ago

Its funny that all the ps3 fanboys so up set over this. If MS paid them how is that any different then paying ot run a tv ad for halo or forza. MS is a business no sh!t they are going to pay for ads to try and sell their crap to make money. Sony and ever other business does the same damn thing

its not advertising if they never mentioned MS's name.

DelbertGrady5269d ago

The only controller worthy of being in the NFL.

table5269d ago

indeed. a crap sport needs a crap controller ;)

HAHA YUP .

Football:A cheap american spinoff of rugby.
360 Controller: a cheap american spinoff of the dreamcast controller (witch is 10x beter).

Saaking5269d ago (Edited 5268d ago )

I know it's personal preference but I find the dual shock to be much better. The face buttons, d-pad, and the "bumpers" kinda suck on the 360 controller. On the other hand only the triggers suck on the Dual Shock. Besides, there's a reason Sony has stuck with same design for 15 years+.If it ain't broken don't fix it.

EDIT
@soda: childish? In what way am I being "childish"?

DelbertGrady5268d ago (Edited 5268d ago )

Not surprised by the childish reactions.

It's impossible to say anything remotely positive about the 360 without getting bashed for it on this site.

@Saaking - Your fundamental crusade against everything "M$" is childish, bordering to insane. Can't even post a humorous comment referring to the UFC's sponsor quotes without having you going "No way! Sony is teh better!!". A severe case of Sony OCD I guess.

Saaking5268d ago (Edited 5268d ago )

I gave you a reason, all YOU said was "The 360 controller is better." Besides, I wouldn't be calling out fanboys if I were you. You're first comment bashed the PS3, don't act all innocent.

DelbertGrady5268d ago

lol! How did my comment bash the PS3??

This story is about the 360 controller and I commented on that, in an innocent humorous manner. You assume by not mentioning Sony in an MS related article I automatically bash them?

Sitdown5268d ago

"Besides, there's a reason Sony has stuck with same design for 15 years+.If it ain't broken don't fix it"

*looks over at sixaxis, raises hand*

Moving along; so let me get this straight...dvd is not broken, but because Microsoft is using it...then its holding back this generation and bringing gaming down. Sony holds on to something for 15+ years...and its okay. I think I am finally beginning to understand the wonderful world of Sony. And no, I am not saying that you mentioned dvd9...I am just commenting on how interesting it is that fans of Sony tend to have all their bases covered..no matter what goes on.

table5268d ago

i was bantering with you soda... nothing childish about a bit of banter mate.

evrfighter5268d ago (Edited 5268d ago )

"indeed. a crap sport needs a crap controller ;) "

Indeed thats got to be why soccer games excel on Playstation

har har

Sitdown5267d ago

Wow...given your name, you would have been better off not commenting on my post. You say I can't be that stupid, and sarcastically use "genius", but you do realize "JackofAlltrades" is a oxymoron right? Anyhoo, allow me to deconstruct your attempt to respond to my post. If a controller doesn't effect what is in a game...why did you even mention the wii controller? If controllers don't affect games, why does certain games come with their own modified controller? Why did Sony put the rumble back in its controller? Why have buttons been added over the years? So like wise, plenty of developers have cut things out of games because of the inability of controllers. There is a reason why some gamers prefer the mouse/keyboard combo over a controller. I would go further, but the fact that you resort to name calling speaks volumes to your inability to have a discussion. Guys/gals like you turn to negative remarks to help their weak points....cause if you really read my post, you would see what the overall message was was not about the controller and dvd. But anyhoo..pretty sad that the "current champ" of "biggest retard" just neutralized your post.

Mista T5269d ago

how can you do any replays with that analog stick and d-pad?

Mista T5268d ago

can't do accurate replays with them though

dktxx25268d ago

he probably used the triggers. all he has to do is move the video back and forth.

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken9h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt13h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken9h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 6h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies20h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis1d 23h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast1d 21h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake1d 15h ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
