PS3 is better!

Cant see how getting a PS3 would improove my singleplayer experience?

360's main draw is in it's multiplayer, yes? well, the PS3 has a lot of great single player games.

Without a doubt.

Dosent realy matter to me if it is MP or SP though. Either i like a game or i dont,
Aint realy leaning toward any particular genre either. Gameplay and Story is are my top 2 priority when im looking for games

yea i agree, but the types of games I like tend to be heavily narrative, and thus tend not to be multiplayer.

Is it me or is both xbox and ps3 games going away from telling a story to more of kill everything and just ignore whatever else is going on. It just seems that way to me. I might be wrong but it feels like that to me anymore

A couple of games seems to do, but there is still many great ones with a good story.

It seems that way to me too, and if there IS a story, the story is the cutscenes in between the levels, or its in like...recorded things that you find throughout the levels (like in dead space or fear)

I agree with this somewhat, there are some games with a story and if you notice, they do amazing.
Heavy Rain I think is a prime example. It's not big on action, but is amazing.
Even Bioshock, which seems like a ton of action, has a true backstory, and if you actually play the game (Collecting the recordings, listening to people) you find out this amazing story that is a satire of our real world right now.
Halo which is an action game was developed on a pretty good story for a shooter. All the games (Aside from Halo Wars) connect with the story to create a long running background.

I think the problem isn't game have lost their backstories, but I think the Consumer and gamers OVERLOOK the stories that the developers put into games.
So, to sum up, no I don't think game makers gave up on stories, I think the gamer has given up on paying attention to the story and just focus on the killing.

I really dont like PS3 that much, really. I just feel that PS3 and the games that comes with it is all just madly overpriced to cover Sonys expenses after all of the bugs and faulty models that were released with the PS2! PS3 has everything Xbox360 has, but its about twice as expensive!
Ive also just never liked Sony all that much, they trashed 2 of my favorite MMORPGs!!!
Matrix Online & Star Wars:Galaxies. They completely destroyed both only weeks after taking them over!

So I have a personal grudge with Sony which makes me boykott them like crazy, their PS3 is no different(If the above happens to no longer be true, ignore it please, the part of the expenses)

Ive always liked Xbox360 more, the red ring of death doesnt happen all that often(I think), and they seem to support games more my type. PS3 has alot of action packed games, and fewer RPGs, while Xbox360 is visa versa, atleast from my point of view it seems like that.

In the end though, Im not much of a TV connected console player. I play Wii cause my wife has one, but I mainly play PC, just cause I can tinker alittle more with it than say an Xbox =P

Red ring has never happened to me either. Never had a problem with the xbox that couldnt be fixed by myself in under 10 minutes. and even those are rare

But im more of a PC person myself. Especially since i got a new pc a couple of weeks ago \o/ Prefer it mostly because of the modding communities for various games.

I cant afford it myself, not even close, but my dad being a rich motherhumper, and it being my birthday...why not harvest when the crops are ripe, huh???
So I'm sitting around, ticking down the days before I move to Oregon, and will receive a custom built Alienware worth 1600 bucks XD I cannotz waitz!

Hopefully it can run everything...actually if anyone here knows more about it than I, I'm gonna go put one together right now and paste the specs here, gimme a sec, and lemme know what you think please!
