Okay the rrod was bad, but then it got better with the newer model, so why do ppl keep saying the 360 "sucks" ? lack of quality titles? I don't think so:

despite all the bashing, sub-hd, it turned out to be a good game.

it didn't come out yet, but it's at leat AAAE guaranteed.

it didn't impress, but still it's a decent exclusive.

another game from Microsoft that is not gonna score less than AAE

it's arguably one of the best games so far and it's only available on pc and 360

another pc/360 AAE game, except the Pc version is affected by Ubisoft's DRM.

These games, even if not exclusives did enrich the xbox 360's library and if Microsoft decided to also bring Fable 3 to the Pc, that's not gonna penalize those who wanna play the game on the 360.

How is it then that the 360 is having a crappy year?

And then you hear comments like "but the Wii has more exclusives". of course it has more, just think if it didn't, with the lack of 3rd party support, it'd be the worst console ever.

"The ps3 is on a roll". yes, they're focus on first party studios has paid off, but again it's only thanks to exclusives like God of War 3, GT5, Little Big Planet 2 and Heavy Rain that they're competing against xbox 360's lineup.

thoughts?

It is bashed only in someforums, in real life people prefer it

Also add Limbo and Dust, two stunning XBLA games coming this year

For me that like deep, long and varied games, 360 has Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Fable 3 and Wii and PS3 nothing, maybe Wii has Xenoblades, if gets a US release this year

The X-box 360 doesn't suck however, System Wars is pretty much about exclusives. Microsoft started off with a great strong line-up of exclusives but now since 3rd Parties are going multiplat for nearly everything Microsoft can't keep up with Sony and Nintendo due to their 1st & 2nd Party.

There is a difference, most 360 bashing threads are pure bashing or pure PS3 praise against 360

Most PS3 "bashing" threads are just stating that some people prefer 360 and that is considered bashing here as it seems

Guys, the wii, 360, PS3, and PC are all great platforms and they all have many great games for it. The only people who bash other systems are fanboys and a bunch of dumb teenagers who like to make fun of the wii.

The 360 had a very strong start compared to the PS3 at the start of the gen. 360 fanboys gave the PS3 fanboys a hard time about the PS3 having no great exclusives and no AAAEs either. Now the PS3 has hit its stride while the 360 has faltered and you see the tables have turned. Now the 360 is getting less exclusive support while the PS3 is picking up more. The PS3 wasn't given a break from criticism so don't expect any for the 360 either.

Really? i've seen far more bashing MS's lack of exclusives.

Indeed, this forum posts are 90% PS3 lineup praise or 360 lineup bashing

The funny part is that when i have bought Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell and Alan wake so far and plan to buy Fable 3 and Halo Reach, and have no plans to buy or bought any PS3 games, is rather strange to see so many threds praising a lineup that for me is short games that i usually only rent, like GOW3 or Uncharted

You're right we should only buy games that you're interested in.

The same reason people bash the Wii or PS3. They don't own the console so they don't follow its game releases and thus conclude that there are no games.

Why would you buy Alan Wake and rent GoW3 & Uncharted? They're all short, single-player games.

Alan wake was 15 hours, about double the play time of Uncharted 2 or GOW3, and it was not as repeatitve, there was far more exploration and freedom in Alan Wake world, making it closer to the adventure genre i like, than the hack and slash or shootergenres of U2and GOW3

A lot of people like me prefer the PS3. More great games, and you get one of the best if not the best Blu-ray players for a good price. Oh and PS1 classics are the freaking bomb.

Actually i am considering buying GOW3 too later, after a price drop

It is just that was over so fast, that i cant justify buying right now, especially since i dont much like hack and slash games, so i would not replay it easilly, with so many RPGs and adventures around that fill my time (Demon Soul, Mass Effect 2, soon Fable 3 etc)

For me was not couple of hours difference, was a day difference (Alan Wake took me two days, GOW3 one), and since i like the gameplay far better in alan Wake, makes perfect sense, since i will gladly replay it later, something i would barely do with GOW3 that is so linear

The amount of hardware problems on the 360 scared a lot of people away, at least initially. I knew a bunch of interested people, only one of whom got one, and he had several hardware problems (but not the RROD). Besides, you're better off waiting until after the shakedown period.

Alan wake was 15 hours, about double the play time of Uncharted 2 or GOW3, and it was not as repeatitve, there was far more exploration and freedom in Alan Wake world, making it closer to the adventure genre i like, than the hack and slash or shootergenres of U2and GOW3

I beat GoW3 in about 12 hours, but either way, was it worth buying for the couple hours difference?

Actually i am considering buying GOW3 too later, after a price drop

It is just that was over so fast, that i cant justify buying right now, especially since i dont much like hack and slash games, so i would not replay it easilly, with so many RPGs and adventures around that fill my time (Demon Soul, Mass Effect 2, soon Fable 3 etc)

For me was not couple of hours, and since i like the gameplay far better in alan Wake, makes perfect sense

I use Goozex, so I buy the games for a good sale price, beat them, trade them in for high points with the intent of getting them for cheap down the road. I basically treat Goozex like a rental service, where I have the option to keep the rental without anything out of pocket.
