Question to all the 360; PS3 fanboys

Aight guys.
The 1 millon dollar question:

To sony fans:
Would you trade MGS4 for GEARS 2?

To 360 fans:
Would you trade Gears 2 for MGS4?

Ofcourse both games would be a PORT!

For me yes... i dont mind the 360 guys having snake if they give me gears2 :P

Discuss

Nah, I'm cool with what I have. I mean, we have to have at least ONE exclusive title this gen...

I'm PS3 btw.

god can I smell the flamebait this post is gonna get fast...

"Nah, I'm cool with what I have. I mean, we have to have at least ONE exclusive title this gen...

ok would you guys trade r2 for gears 2?

I'm looking more forward to R2 because I actually really liked the story of Resistance(the mp was ..eh) but thats mainly it..gears isn't even on my radar, I think Fallout3/LBP/Farcry 2 - one of those will be the GOTY for me :)

I don't mind PS3 getting Gow2 but i don't want MGS4... No offence guys, but I dont want to sit through ungodly amounts of cut scenes...

I would love to trade Solid_SnakeXx for Haze...revive Haze and put you to sleep.

i have a ps3.....it blows.

sony have taken the fun out of gaming.

here is my pre-order list for autumn/winter 2008:


xbox360- PURE (Bought)
xbox360- Fallout 3
xbox360- COD5
xbox360- GOW2
xbox360-FABLE 2
xbox360- Pro Evoloution Soccer 2009
xbox360- Monopoly (What can I say, I love my board games...and online will be great :-p)
xbox360- Ghostbusters
ps3-Little Big Planet

hmmmm.....looks like microsoft will be having a lot of drinks on me come christmas time, (and a whole bunch of other people)....sony are gonna be crying into their solid snake duvet cover by the looks of it. I heard Jeff say on last weeks bombcast something to the effect that what platfform you choose depends on what gamerscore/trophies you are invested in, i don't buy that.....xbox live pisses all over psn....for several reasons, but not least because people can actually CONVERSE! nobody talks on psn, you may as well be playing ai. But simply, xbox is just a better platform...period.


edit: one good thing about the ps3 is movie streaming from your pc, thats what function my ps3 provides, because randomly media center syncing is absoloute gash on the 360, hopefully that'll be fixed when the update arrives, then i can use my big fat sony machine for its intended purpose....er .....making toast?

edit2: i forgot to answer the question. my answer is no. lmao

I'm not a fan of either, although I prefer the 360. Since I haven't played a single MGS game I don't know what I'm missing and from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be something I would be in to. So things could stay as they are for me, and in either case I have both a PS3 and a 360 so if I wanted to, I could just get MGS4.

And to answer this question...No, I would not trade those two games. Gears 2 for LBP? Yes. Gears 2 for MGS4? No. Though I am not the biggest fan of MGS4.

Gotta say no.
Gotta be some exclusives out there.

Why would i trade Gears of war for a montage of 40 min long Shitty cutscenes?

I'm not too particularly fond of Gears and I never really liked any MGS game. \
I'd trade gears 2 for lbp

I'm actually kinda shocked at how many people here prefer Gears over MGS... More lost faith in this generation. Still, it's comforting to know that most of you are kids who weren't playing games early enough to appreciate the action diversion.

"I'm actually kinda shocked at how many people here prefer Gears over MGS... More lost faith in this generation. Still, it's comforting to know that most of you are kids who weren't playing games early enough to appreciate the action diversion."

We're all that's left.

You know what's funny (and sad) when you think about it. We grew up with Metal Gear, Metroid, Goldeneye and Zelda. This generation is going to grow up with Halo, Gears of War, World of Warcraft and Call of Duty.

I'd probably take MGS4, even if I think the MGS series is getting somewhat taxing. GeoW2 seems a lotta the same.

Would I completely give up Gears 2 for MGS 4? Nope. But I sure wouldn't mind the game being ported to the PS3, regardless of whether or not I'd get to play MGS 4 in return.

Us nintendo fanboys want some games.

Gears and mgs4 have cover systems both are third person camera both have a great story.
The only difference is ones got 40 minute long cutscenes."

Beyond stupid. Beyond comprehension."

I don't prefer Gears over MGS, but I wouldn't trade Gears 2 over MGS4 because I was extremely disappointed with MGS4. I felt that the game just went downhill after Act 2 and the end was a disaster. I also don't think having a game you watch more than you play is the best way to tell a story anymore. And just for the record I loved MGS1 (Favorite PS1 game) and I loved MGS2/3, but MGS4 just wasn't the amazing game I was expecting it to be."

Yeay MS paint.  Shit that's all I have to draw things with too.

Halo 3 Left 4 Dead Gears Of War 2 Alan Wake

If Halo is the best multiplayer game you've played in many moons I suggest you try some more games.

I have a PS3, not an Xbox. And I'm still getting the superior version of L4D. To even bring that game into petty console arguing is pointless, because it's a PC game.

More of the same is, in fact, not the same.

While I readily agree with the Halo 3 statement you're other "claims disguised as fact" are totally false because you haven't even played the games yet."

I actually think Alan Wake looks awesome (from what I know about it which isn't much) and I really wished it was coming to PS3 seeing as I don't own a 360.

As for Left 4 Dead - I thought it hadn't been announced for PS3 yet but even if it had, I'd presume it's lead development platform is the 360? Which is the bane of the PS3's life really - you only need to look at MGS4, Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank (even Wipeout HD) to see that factually the console is far, far, far more powerful than the 360.

It's sad that the multiplat's don't reflect that.

"Someone who likes MGS2 but not 4... Weird, but OK I guess. I think 3 is the worst, but in no way even close to mediocrity. Every MGS game is a great game. Also I have drawn you this chart displaying why you are somewhat right (about the downhill spiral after Act 2)."

I may have found the problem. I loved MGS3, it is quite possibly my favorite MGS game and I just really enjoyed everything about it. It was something new and different, which MGS4 was in the initial two acts, but fell short in the last 3. Looking at your chart I agree with the drop off at Act 3, but I don't feel the game redeemed itself at Act 4. I also found the bosses of MGS4 to be pathetically stupid and boring; they were not interesting at all and after you've seen one, you've seen them all. I'm not saying that MGS4 was horrible, but I don't believe it's the masterpiece it's said to be."

MGS games have never had unanimous opinions. I agree that the MGS4 bosses were sub-par, with the exception of Laughing Octopus and MG Ray, but I still think it was a great game.

IMO MGS2 trumps all."

I have no need for Demilich's opinion.

sorry some people enjoy actual GAMES, not 40 min long shitty cutscenes"

40 min cutscenes are fine as long as they are entertaining. but there is a valid complaint to make against MGS4. after the first 3 acts too much of the gameplay involves big action set pieces and battles and the sneaking/stealth gameplay is pretty thin on the ground. so i love MGS4 but a lot of that has to do with how invested in the series i was from the previous games and needed to see how to story ends. But if you were to take away the story and Cutscenes i dont think its as good as MGS3
