So, I know this guy I work with who I found out today bought a ps3.
He's a huge gamer, all he does is play games. His parents called him from Florida on vacation and asked him if he wanted one, because they were somewhere at Disney where there were tons of them for sale. So they bought him one saturday, and overnighted it to him. (of course he paid them back, he's in his 20's).
So, he goes out, and buys 3 games for it, 2 racing games and call of duty? Or something like that.
Anyways, he hates the motherfucker. Some interesting things he told me:
* - the only thing you use the motion sensor for, is in the fighting game, if a soldier runs up and grabs you, you shake the controller violently to shake him off.
* - To start the game, it downloads shit to the harddrive off the blue ray drive for 5 minutes. Every time.
* - After it syncs the harddrive and the blue ray drive, it resets the system.
* - Every time the system is started, or resets, you have to plug the controller in to sync it to the system. The cord for the controller is only 3 feet long, so each time you have to get up, walk across the room, and plug the controller back in, then unplug it, and go sit back down.
* - This situation renders the 'power' button on the controller practically useless, because the controller's only synced to the system when the power is on.... so you can turn the system off but can't turn it on.
* - One of the driving games is graphically on par with the original X-box.
* - The two shoulder buttons are extra sensitive, so you can't rest your fingers on them, it triggers them. You have to play the game with your fingers curled under the buttons, or sticking out away from the buttons, you can't let them naturally rest on the shoulders.
* - The analog sticks are really loose and aiming a gun is nearly impossible to do accurately, it's wayyyyyy too sensitive.
* - the controller feels like a hollow piece of plastic and doesn't weigh shit.
He's going to try to get his 600 bucks back off ebay and buy a Wii, lol.

-Motion sensing is used in more games then cod,im guessin hes talkin out of the 3 he got
-It only downloads shit from the hardrive the first time u play the game inorder to make load times faster
-im pretty sure u would only have to sync the controller once and never after that,thats how it is with the 360 and wii cant imagine the ps3 being different
-which driving game was it?
good move for him,shoulda just got a wii in the first place
-
I played one at best buy the other day. It was some motocross type game. The controller DID feel like a weightless piece of shit. I hated it and put it down mostly for that reason.
-
Man, honestly, you have to plug the controller in every time you turn the system on to sync it up. He went online and everybody on the forums are bitching about it.

thats the so called "killer game" resistance : fall of man.. my roommate at work (and my manager) has a 360 and we compared that game to gears of war... man.. gears of war looks SICK in comparison..
got to www.gametrailers.com or IGN and compare the two yourself
(also look up "project h.a.m.m.e.r." for wii. its looking dope too... nintendo got something up their sleeve..)

most video game players could use the exersize
-
A "friend" huh?
-
Yeah. I personally would never be stupid enough to spend that much money on a piece of shit like a PS3.
-
wow im definetly not getting one ever then
-
It's definitely not worth its retail price. I'll give ya that.
-
Maybe I should lean towards the 360 :-\
-
How did I KNOW there would be a bunch of negative things written about the PS3 inside this thread before I even opened it? I must be AMAZING.

You must know me very well. On the other hand; I've never heard of you.

my friend bought a ps4
-
on the real though......like sikotic said, it probably aint worth the price, but i know imma be coppin one.......the price of success homeboy
-

? What kind of retarded shit is that? The price of success has nothing to do with a ps3, and there's no such thing as a ps4. I assume you'll say that was a joke, but nobody laughed. Jokes are for the entertainment of others.

LMFAO@you've never heard of me...Come on, that gay shit won't work over here.

looks like the sony gaming console saga is over...
sounds like crap...
-
i just read ridge racer copies FIVE GIG to the internal harddrive coz the blue ray isn't suitable for in game transfers.. that explains the long load times.. hopefully they've done this so it doesnt happen every time... right....?
-
man some of ya are fucking retarded...the launch systems always got bunch of problems...remember when the 360 had a shitload of problems when it first came out...demos, games, xbox live update killed bunch of systems... system got heated up real quick...ALOT of people had to return the systems to MS to get a replacement.
and how the fuck do u compare gears of war to resistance? gears is a 2nd gen 360 game...ps3 just came out...
just cuz the launch games were not that good, means that the system is gonna be shitty? ???
-
on the real though......like sikotic said, it probably aint worth the price, but i know imma be coppin one.......the price of success homeboy
I'll be picking one up too, but probably a year down the road when the price is a little more reasonable and hopefully the quality of the product is higher by then.
I'm picking up a Wii tomorrow, but as a gift for my little bro.

I'm not an expert but blue ray is not as fast as normal dvd-roms.
PSP is slow as fuck too.
-
i bet PS3 is a 1000 time's better then a Wii
-
LMFAO@Overseer locking my thread with useful information that goes against the Wii, but leaving this one open. :laugh:
-
you mean your thread you tried badly to seem from a "fake" friend which you lied about to try and cause trouble?
whereas trauma actually wrote his post verbatim
its called flamebaiting..
-
Actually, that was just a small joke (since I didn't really believe Trauma's "friend" bought a PS3 and told him all that shit) and had very little to do with the actual thread. The information inside was very useful and it neutralized all the PS3 hating on this board. You only locked it cuz you love the Wii and hate the PS3...Just admit it.
-
you know this thread is fulll of bullshit as soon as trauma said "his friend" everybody know aint nobody rolling with that cheesecake
-
NIK.. for your information i did check that trauma's post wasn't "lifted" from elsewhere too.. its badly structured and many of the points were things i'd noticed myself..
why do you feel a need to provide "balance"? the ps3 isnt all that.. i've been saying that since BEFORE i was up on the wii.. if i had HDTV and the time to play games for hours on end i'd be 360 all the way.. but i dont.. i want something fun that i dont splash out loadsa money on something which i dont have time to get into in depth.. IF you were an active member of this setion or had been reading sports + ent before the split you'd know this..
i'm likely to get a 360 too in 18 months.. depends on whats goin on in my life

Dude, who cares if Trauma wrote that shit, the information provided inside my thread was still useful and I never claimed I wrote it, I even provided the link at the bottom. And for all you know, that guy really could've been my friend (he's not), but it's more believable than Trauma having a friend and telling him how much he hates the PS3 he bought...LOL.
-
so if NIK's title of his thread was... " I jacked this article from so and so on how the Wii sucks" you wouldnt have locked the thread ?
-
yeah.. plus if you look.. he later admitted he posted he to cause trouble..
-

oooooo fair enough... i jus dont like trauma and anything negative towards the wii that rile's up trauma im all for it lol.
-
yeah.. plus if you look.. he later admitted he posted he to cause trouble..
LMAO! When did I admit that it was to cause trouble? You just love making shit up, huh? I said it was to neutralize the PS3 hating on the board, never did I mention anything about "causing trouble". ::)

Look @ the attention I get in this thread alone, just from my words typed on a screen. You don't even know my name. I have legions of people on this board who follow what I say, what I do, what I comment on. I have people that hate me, and people that love me all because of blue and black text that comes from my fingertips.
For you to insinuate that I have no friends in life shows your complete ignorance and your loose grasp of reality.
Imagine a man like me who gets so much passionate hate and love on this board just through his words, in real life with all of my assets about me. I'm extremely intelligent, likely the most intelligent person you'll ever know of. Imagine those in my life that actually know me intimately. Imagine what it would be like to know my name.
I'm extremely good looking, when I look @ a woman she smiles.
I'm extremely successful @ work; when I walk into a client's business, I can meet somebody I've never seen before in my life and 5 minutes later have them laughing and buying me a drink like we've known each other for years.
I'm one of the funniest people I know and a great singer on top of that. I drive classic muscle cars and play guitar. I make a living @ work and a living on Ebay. I can fix anything and I love children.
Simply put; everyone I've ever met counts me as a friend. So, yes, a friend of mine bought a ps3. His name is Dave.

I'm cool, I swear!!!
Anybody that has to profess how intelligent, good looking, and popular they are are usually lying.

your loss! LOL

When your only argument is deepthroating your own dick, I think it's pretty safe to say you're the one that lost. :D

* - To start the game, it downloads shit to the harddrive off the blue ray drive for 5 minutes. Every time.
* - After it syncs the harddrive and the blue ray drive, it resets the system.
* - Every time the system is started, or resets, you have to plug the controller in to sync it to the system. The cord for the controller is only 3 feet long, so each time you have to get up, walk across the room, and plug the controller back in, then unplug it, and go sit back down.
None of these are true. To sync the controller when the system is turned on you just press the 'PS' button in the middle of the controller which then assigns to controller to a player, it doesn't have to be plugged into the system for this to happen. The harddrive thing is only the first time you play a game which takes advantage of the harddrive to lessen loading times.
-
None of the shit that dude posted about synching is true.
Load times are extremely fast and all you do is press the PS button once and turn on the system.
