Thread: Where are my Satellite Guy's gamers at?

What system are you playing CODMW2 on? I'm assuming 360? If on PS3 I'd love to join in.

Same here if PS3.

Bioshock 2 just hasn't impressed me. I really loved the original Bioshock. The lack of being able to go back and play selected chapters seems like a big oversite to me. Also in the original I could get all the way back to the start from any point. But with 2 once a chapter is done, you can't go back.. Just something about it I don't like..

PS3/Wii family here. The Wii has not been getting a lot of love lately, but that could change this year hopefully. New Zelda (possibly) and new Super Mario Galaxy 2.

But, as for the PS3 (in my opinion the best system out there because, yes, it just does everything) my son is almost ranked out on COD-MW2 (he's 11) and I am in the middle of Assassin's Creed 2. I finished Uncharted 2 in a week, it was just awesome. After AC2, I will take on Rapture again in Bioshock 2.

We like games that have a lot of story in them. I grew up reading and collecting Comics. You should see my attic. I love story and character. To me a game is just a waste of time if it doesn't have story and characters that you can get into and care about. Even a game like Super Mario Galaxy 1 had this little bittersweet story in it that was told as a fairy tale and it was just awesome, and of course the gameplay was great also.

But that's why we care about the Nathan Drake in Uncharted, or Atair and now Ezio and Desmond in Assassin's Creed. My daughter is 8 and she loves the little sisters in Bioshock. She will go around mimicking their voice and talking about "Mr. Bubbles."

Sorry, didn't mean to go on. But games in this day and age have grown at a tremendous rate as far as quality. They are on the scale of film and books. I'm 46 so...I remember the first video games. Yep, I had that atari and NES right there on the tv beside the satellite contoller.


But, thanks, this is a great thread.

There's that, the pre-rendered video may look better since they have 50GB of storage versus ~15GB, and I heard that they're going to keep in the original Japanese voice track, while the 360 will just have the English track. Other than that, it should be the same. I'll be going for the PS3 version, since it was originally designed for that one, and I like being able to swap to the Japanese dialog with subtitles in case the English acting is god-awful, and the last few FF games haven't exactly been up there with other games like MGS, ME, etc..

I couldn't agree more with what you say about prefering games with great stories and characters, but this just sounds a little creepy.

I doubt either of you will feel the same way about the BIG Sisters in BioShock 2..

Here's some graphic comparisons:


This is what Final Fantasy XIII looks like on Xbox 360
