[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Such big words for an internet message board poster, this is a rarity for posters online. But really, what could they add as far as game content(mods and such) that hasn't been done to death already? Then again, I guess I shouldn't talk, since I am definitely NOT a FPS gamer. And again, I don't mind switching discs for the 'bonus content', but that's another topic altogether.
I will say that, while the PS3 has me on the fence because of price and crap I won't use, I am equally on the fence with the 360 due to the allegedly rampant console failures. The Wii? I won't even bother buying one, since the Gamecube I bought last gen didn't even get taken out of the packaging.
So, to sum up for those who 'won't read past even the first sentence in a reply: I don't want a PS3 yet because it's outta my price range that I'm willing to pay for it in, I don't want a 360 because of the rampant failures and I don't want a Wii because I didn't even bother with the GC I had last gen.
While that last one wasn't a truly valid reason I suppose, I don't feel like wasting money on anything that will just sit and collect dust.[/QUOTE]
big words? Meh. I'm just saying that EVERY post of yours, and they are rather frequent, finds something to bitch about, complain about, ignore, or weasel your way around. I don't think I've ever seen you say something you like or enjoy; so far as I can tell, you don't eventually want a PS3 because you'll use it. You'll eventually want one just because it is cheap.
You have nothing to say, frankly, except to whine and bitch. I'm not saying this to be Cap'n cool guy, I'm saying this because every post of yours shows that you do nothing but piss and moan about how not everything is to your liking. I hope you aren't married, because you make those "glass half empty" folks look like
in' saints by comparison.
Let me put it this way: I point out that, at this very moment, there is reasonable evidence that game developers may be hitting the cap on what they can do with the space on the DVD drive. Your immediate response (to a phenomenon that affects ALL OF US gamers) is to say that you don't think graphics matter. Well, that's grand, but I wasn't talking about graphics. So, to humor you changing the question on me, I point to UTIII, and show that ACTUAL FLIPPIN' CONTENT is teeming over the edge of a game on DVD, so the utility of BR is (if only slightly) showing its advantage. Again, an industrywide phenomenon that affects ALL GAMERS. Your response? YOU, *personally*, don't care for FPS or mods.
Again, again, again, not the
ing point. The point is that DVD is on the verge of being just too small for some games. Remember: a game doesn't have to be 50GB in size to prove the relevance of BR. It has to be just one iota larger than what a DVD can hold. If it's video today, and graphics tomorrow, and mods the next day, will you continue to take a "me, me, me!" approach to rationalizing away every single reason that DVD can't remain king forever, or will you eventually admit that, whether it's game content you care about or not, developers are coming closer and closer to the edge of their discs?
Personally, I don't care for racers, so PGR shouldn't bother me no matter what it has ('cept Geometry Wars
). That they had to create a workaround for night and day lighting doesn't impact the game all that much, IMO. But it is a point of consideration, whether I care about the game or not. It's not about you; it's not about me. It's about patterns and happenings among developers.
You've ignored two important questions I asked: do you want a PS3, and if so, why and what for? Also, how can you simultaneously hold a position that claims you wish Sony would take out all the stuff you don't want, while also lamenting the number of SKUs and revisions they put out?
