It's a month for Gamers.

I don't care what system a game is on as long as the game is great. I have both the 360 and PS3 so there is no such thing as Exclusive for me. So I think October will be a great month for gamers.

Was there a question? I see allot of replies but no question.

Q: What should I buy first? Bioshock or Fallout3

A: Which story and gameplay do you enjoy the most..... Choose accordingly

Q: What do you think is better? Bioshock or Fallout3.

A: Fallout3 is not out yet, so can't answer

I personally will get both. Maybe Fallout3 fist since I loved playing Obllivion. Bioshock looks great and I played it a little on the 360. I will get this one soon enough as well.

Oblivion is a great experience for any gamer who enjoys the theme. I finished as a Knight and then tried a Mage. Did not like the Mage as much so I stopped early in the game and built me an Archer. I love playing with the Archer and the battles are much different with that class.

The one thing I don't regret doing is going through the game and accomplishing many of the side quest along the way, but purposely not trying to do everything there is. I passed up many caves and forts along the way. Now when I play the game with a different class, I can discover new areas and enjoy it that much more.

I am not Starwars Geek by any means, but I do enjoy the movies and the story. I may get this game for the story alone. A 7.5 Rating is not bad at all. My rule is 7.0 or above I will buy.

UNLESS I SIMPLY LOVE THE TYPE OF GAME. Dynastiy Warriors can get a 2.0 and I will still buy and play it. LOL It's brainless fun. Hacking away at hundreds of idiots with cool combos. LOL

It's hard to answer this question.

GT5 (Not out yet)

Pure

Motorstorm

These are all COMPLETELY different type of racing games. If you want to race Quads and do tricks, then go with Pure. If you want offroad racing with great damage and physics, go with Motorstorm. If you want to race cars, then go with GT5.

They are different type of games. If you where the difference in GT5 and Forza2. Now you have a discussion in your hands.

Also on the Exclusive remark. Why does it matter? If you like a game, who cares if it's exclusive or not. As long as it's available in the platform you have.

The facts is that HDMI is DIGITAL Signal. That means it's either 100% good or 100% bad. So an $8 cable will either give you a 100% GOOD Signal or 100% bad. Same goes for the $75 HDMI cables.

I don't care how much insulation you put on the thing and if you use Gold connectors or not. It's bull. Digital signals do not rely on insulation to get a better signal like Audio cables do. There is no leak of the signal. 100% or 0%

Like the others said. BluRay will look great on a 1080i or even a 720P HDTV. Remember that there is little difference between 720P and 1080P below 42" Screens. This is not to say there is no difference at all, but just very little. You won't be able to tell the difference in most cases. If you go with a 52" or 56" Screen, then 1080P becomes more attractive.

Listen to the replies on here because they where all great and spot on. Maybe not mine but at least theres. lol

Even though im not much of a fan of the metal gear series as some of my friends is :P

Well anyways im almost finally done beating the game for the first time. pretty close to act 4. & truthfully i like mgs3 better. the gameplay feels a whole lot better imo, i miss how you can rely on your survival instincts in that game. eating any aminal that comes in your way basically , i dont know i just enjoyed mgs3 more maybe im considered crazy :P

well at least im not that guy stating haze is better :lol:

realistic44

Everyone has an opinion and we must be respectful of that. I am only going to point out some things about MGS3 which make me feel completely opposite of you. In fact, I think MGS3 is the worst control scheme of the entire Series.

Yes, I have played every single MGS game to include the 8 bit versions and PSP.

So here is where MGS3 fallls apart. Think about this......

When you are looking in First Person Perspective mode to aim your gun. YOU CAN'T MOVE. You must get out of First Person Mode to move your character.

When You are running around in 3rd Person mode, you can move but it's hard to aim since there is no really good retickle to go by.

If you are running in 3rd Person Mode with your gun drawn, you have lots of mobility and just about Zero chance of hitting anything.

The Cammo Idea. How stupid is this. Who in the world will be carring enough clothes to open a clothing company to the battle field. The fact that you have to crawl 10 feet and change clothes, then crawl another 10 and change again is not only stupid, but unrealistic.

Eating. Why does Snake eat so much? I mean, when I sit down to play the game. I don't have to stop and eat as often as the character does. So why waste my time with it. I don't remember the last time I watched an action movie and said. "You know, my favorite scene is when the guy stops and eats to regain his energy and heal his wounds"

The Camera does not work. OK. There are two versions of the game Snake Eater and Subsitence. Forgive me if I spelled it wrong. Snake Eater was broken. Why? Because the camera angles do not work for an open environment like the jungle. PERIOD. If you think of all previous MGS games to this one. The environments where in a building for the most part and very tight. This allowed the camera to work just fine. In MGS3 it does not work. So much so that Kojima agreed and attempted to fix it with Subsistence. In many cases you will be crawling and switch to First Person mode only to realize there is somebody right there. 10 feet from you, looking at you with a"!" over their head. It was terrible. Now you have to crawl and change to First Person mode every 5 feet to make sure you can see in the distance where you are crawling too.

Subsistence is an improvement but it also had bugs. The camera felt loose as if it where tacked on as an after fact. Well. IT WAS!!! The other thing that was frustrating is that if you are crawling and get near tall grass, you go into First Person mode without wanting. It was terrible because there could be a guy right next to you and you wish to crawl around or away from him but in high grass the camera angel changed so that you can't see the enemy at all.

This is why MGS3 was terrible. Loved the story and glad I played it in order to keep the series going for me, but I was disappointed in the implementation of the controls.

Kojima learned from this HUGE Mistake and changed it all in MGS4.

MGS4: Camera feels tight and responsive. You can walk around in 3rd person with a good reticle and shoot people with out issues. You can WALK around in First Person and shoot people easily. You can crawl and blend to your environment without changing clothes every ten feet. You can control your camera at all times and always have a clear picture of the action.

Best of all: You can play as a Stealth game, Action Shooter or Stealth/Shooter. YOUR CHOICE. That is realistic.

Now only if we can cut down on the cutscenes and have more ingame story telling, we will be GOLD!

Just my opinion.

Removing the internal HDD is a standard procedure and the Sony manual shows you how to do it. So if you have issues with stripped screws, Sony should be able to help you out. I would try to remove them myself and get new screws as BaconB1ts123 mentioned.
