A quick rating on PS3 games

Grizzled_Imposter — GMT

Scale is 1 to 10...with 1 sucking too bad to buy, 3 being ok, 5 being worthwhile, 7 is good, 8 or above is very good. Resistance (fall of man) 8.7 Blazing Angels 7.4 Full Auto 2 8.1 Untold Leagends (dark kingdom) 6.7 Genji (day of the blade) 5.5 these are of course just my openion, I have rated these games entirely based upon how much I like them.

There's something that I've been wondering about ever since the PS3 came out on the market. I've had limited time playing, but enough to notice how great the graphics are. Was the PS3 worth the $600+ purchase? Obviously there are other advantages to owning a system, like being able to watch bluray discs, but I don't see how that much money can justify a video game system. Comparatively, my Wii costs less than half the price of a PS3 and is much more entertaining. I'm not trying to spark a debate over which is better, I just can't imagine spending that much money and being satisfied with it.

Are you referring to HD DVD? They're comparable in quality. Apparently LG showed off a Bluray/HD DVD combo player at CES, so that's encouraging news for the format war. Even so, the prospect of buying HD movies for $10 more than the standard def counterparts isn't that enticing.

There is a lot of smoke in the air over the console wars. I will say this about owning a PS3 and the price. My computer was several times the price. is it worth it? depends on how much money it is to you, if it is a significant percentage then no, it would not be worth it. My kids like the Wii fine, I like the PS3. Also note, PS3 does not just play blue-ray, it plays HD DVD as well, so you are set no matter which way things turn out in the war of formats. Just a note tho, there have been over 1 million early adopters for Blu-ray, wheras HD DVD figures are sittling at around 500,000 total. Its not decided yet, but Im watching close. As for the 360? I have not played one yet, but I have a friend that has more than a grand invested in his in add ons like hard drives and wireless cards, the Microsoft t.m. spacific headset that is the only one that works with the system, the Microsoft t.m. spacific keyboard etc. and he is still paying a subscription fee for the right to use the console he already purchased on the only network that will accept its input. I don't have a real openion over if it is better but I don't like subscription fees, that kind of shot the 360 down for me. Of course I heard that HALO 2 is gonna be real kickin.....so you never know....I could be there too......

Wait... what? Have you tried playing HD DVD's yourself? That doesn't make any sense. Sony is trying to kill HD DVD with their own media format. That would be so contradictory to support a competing technology. You're not talking about upscaling standard def DVD's are you?

Nope, Im talking about playing HD DVD discs on your ps3. Both formats use very similar technology in the hardware department. I did not get entirely caught up in the hype when I purchased a release PS3....I did some research first. and no, I have not played a HD dvd on the system, I have only played Blue ray discs...

Right, that's how a combo player has been made, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can play HD DVD's without replacing the Blu ray drive, among other things.

On the side of the console, next to the other trademark symbols CDs and DVDs and Blue ray is the trade mark symbol for the HD DVD format, also it says that it plays them in the manual

No worries! :D I was just trying to figure out if there was something that I didn't know about.

I think he might be referring to Total Hi Def(THD). These disks have HD-DVD format on one side and Blu-ray on the other side. So, they could be played in either player.

Yeah but it seems kind of ridiculous to buy a disc that's two in one. Maybe the combo drive will prevail and it won't matter which disc format you buy haha

I finished Resistance (fall of man) on the hard difficulty last night. after playing some multi player on line, I am upgrading the over all score of this game to a 9. My only main gripe is that the game has no mouse functionality even tho the system supports a mouse and keyboard.

I finally caved in and bought a PS3 game. I got 'Call of Duty 3'. I've only played about ten minutes as work and Boingo take up a lot of my time :P . The graphics are ok on it. The sound is cool, though. You can hear gunfire, vehicles, people yelling, etc. from all over the place from every speaker. I think the controls are clunky, though. It is too hard to aim and move around fast. I probably just need to get used to it. I think the graphics on a PC are better, though. They aren't horrible, but I still think a good PC will deliver much better graphics. On a scale of 1-10, so far, I'll give the game a 6.5 . I may get that Resistence game in a month or so and try that one out. I haven't seen any other games that interest me, though. I'm not much of a gamer really.

I don't blame you, Controls for consoles take some getting used to, and I always am sacrificing sensitivity to a controller over my trackball. I have not got a high deff tv yet so If i get Call of Duty 3 it will either be on the PC or in the ps2 format. Im actualy supprised that you were that satisfied with it, at the low end it was programed for the game cube! I heard a rumor that said when they release the newest incarnation of UT for the PS3 it will support keyboard and mouse support. I guess we will see!

Re:A quick rating on PS3 games

I didn't know it was programmed for the Game Cube. I know it is available in just about every game system. From what I've read about the game, it looks better on the XBox 360. I have no idea, I don't even know what the XBox looks like let alone the game. There is this one part in the game where I had to drive a jeep through some defended road blocks. Anyway, the cool part about it was that I could stear by just turning the controller from left to right. I just thought that was kinda neat. I'm guessing that is probably available on any other system, but hey, I haven't had a game system since the original Nintendo.

YEAH, On some of the games the tilt controls are implemented very well. others, not so well. I actually think that it was probably programed for the PS2 and oversampled for the next gen consoles, not positive on that but the content is supposed to be substantially the same so it probably does not use nearly all of the space on the Blu-ray disk. Resistance is a pretty good game, I have finished it several times now, I recommend it when you can fit it into your budget. I generally get my console titles second hand myself, but that one was well worth the price. I have several friends that own Gears of War for the X-Box 360, after just 10 to 12 hours they are done with the game, Its pretty and fun, but has no staying power, at least when compared to the enjoyment that I am still getting out of Resistance. I do not know if I will finish it on the superhuman difficulty, I'm about half way through, but have started a new character on DC so we will see.

Yah, I'll get it eventually. I would get it second-hand, but the stores here sell used ones for about five dollars less then if it were brand new. So, it isn't worth it to me...yet. I have a hard time stomaching sixty dollars for a game. However, I pretty much haven't heard anything bad about that Resistence game, which surprises me. I typically read people who just have to complain about something, but I haven't seen much for this title. Is 10 to 12 hours short? I'm not sure if that is good or not. It would take me over a month then. I've had the Call of Duty game for about two weeks now and I've only played it twice.

Re:A quick rating on PS3 games

I guess it depends on your entertainment budget. "is 10 hours short?" If I am looking at a game, a movie or some form of entertainment, then I simply divide the cost by the amount of time (or the amount of time I think) will be used entertaining me, or me and others in some cases. So, resistance as an example: $62.50 (includes tax) divided by the 80 total hours that me and my brother in law have played equals .78 cents per hour. This comes out to about the same cost as renting a good movie for the whole family to watch. Lets look at UT for me hmmmm, looks bad, i went to the UT stats and don't know if I want to post how many hours I have played! Oh well, in for a penny, 971 hours, so approximately 5 cents an hour.

Re:A quick rating on PS3 games

looks like games are going to release for the PS3 that have full keyboard and mouse support for play. The first of these is due out in July. UT3. its too bad that we wont be playing on the same servers as the people who get the x-box 360 version. player 1 "ohh, he's turning this way, Get Him!" Player 2 "I don't know, its not very sportsman like to shoot him in the back, you know he is using one of those controller thingines." Player 1 "do it, do it!" Player 2 "see, he can see now, its fair" It is not fair. I have years of experience with the keyboard and mouse and a controller just does not have the responsiveness. Playing resistance online v.s. other players feels wrong, the maps are fairly open and you just cant turn your head fast enough to keep track of what it going on around you. The only plus factor to playing the game online is that the grenades are deadly. (I hate counter strike for that reason).
