Author Topic: what should i get?? (Read 9416 times)

SageBell · « **on:** October 17, 2008, 01:45:51 pm »

i just feel like putting it here today. anyways back to the topic.
For Christmas i will most likely get the gaming system i want. but i don't know which i want.
Wii, Xbox360, and/or Playstation 3
I've narrowed it down to a Wii or Xbox 360

Wii has Fire Emblem, Brawl, Mario Kart
Xbox has Dead or Alive, Guilty Gear, Nascar

Both Have Soul Calibur and Rock Band
but Xbox has the better versions of the game.
on that note i was leaning towards the Xbox, but Wii has BRAWL!.. and is gamecube compatable.. but i really want soul calibur 4..
and i really want rock back. and if i got it should i get rock band 1 or 2??
i know rock band for wii does not let you have costum characters does rock band 2 for wii allow for the custum charaters?

don't forget you also want wii so you and I can play ourselves. XD either one to me would be awesome for you to have because then I could come over and play on them. :3

Xbox 360 all the way!!! Best overall gaming system out, and it has more Rpgs then you can shake a stick at. Wii is good for entertaining groups of people but it is overall geared more towards kids and all ages. Xbox Live is like the best online service out and it has Xboxlive arcade! That and BlazBlue wich is later down the road will not be on Wii. (BlazBlue = GuiltyGear) Overall in my opinion its the best!

melchizedek · « **Reply #3 on:** October 17, 2008, 07:26:00 pm »

The 360 version of rockband is better than the wii version.

Also, if you get rockband 2, you can import all the rockband 1 songs onto the hard drive.

Also, the prices of the 360 just were lowered. PS3 is harder to program, so likely all the multi-console games will be coming out on 360 first.

That being said, I have a Wii and don't regret getting it. But the 360 is just a better peice of hardware.

haha i've got 2 who say Xbox is better, but Wii is still good.. i knew that. be opinionated more forceful. lol
so we'll say
Xbox-2
Wii-1

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:40:29 pm »

wii is much better and it free for wifi unlike the xbox 360 it cost to play with other people

Seraph · « **Reply #6 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:46:44 pm »

based on what I read, thats false. the 360 does not have more RPGs then the other systems. 360 will have star ocean and final fantasy going for it while wii has tales of symphonia 2, fragile, muramasa(from makers of odin sphere) and couple of other unique RPGs.
according to RPGamer, all 3 next gen systems are equal in terms of number of RPGs(roughly). DS is the system that has more RPGs you can shake a stick at.

I should note that BlazBlue is arcade only atm from what I heard.

for rock band/guiter hero, its hard to say as there is bit low on the info side for the rock band 2 of wii. rock band 2 on wii won't let you get the songs from rock band 1, but will have downloadable content, but you have to keep it on your flash memory. guiter hero world tour will actually play the song off from your SD card if I'm not mistaken.

as it is, wii is starting to see developers take it more seriously and not treating it like a PS2 with new controls(force unleashed >_>). the motion plus attachment may make their life easier in making decent controls.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:47:24 pm »

I would go with the x-box. It has a huge range of games where it seem like wii games are more child oriented.....Plus ff XIII is coming out for the 360.

Also the wii is difficult to find. You can get the 360 anywhere but the wii runs out really really fast

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:50:43 pm »

every one thinks the wii is childist but its not really a lot of the game are made for adults like wii sport and wii fit used to be but now its for every one and i have a lot of m rated game for it .

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:51:50 pm »

yeah but all the other games are too cartoonish.

where with the 360 there are games with lots of blood.....like dead space XD

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:54:17 pm »

same with a lot of wii game but it just the kid game get more air time and the bloody game dont have much air time

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:59:03 pm »

.....yeah there are some for the wii but almost ALL of the xbox games are for adults where most of the wii games are for kids or preteens, like yourself.

The xbox is a much more mature system with games that are rated M

I mean if you go to a website that sells games you can see that when you look at wii games they are all like mario, sonic, rayman, and rock band. You looks at the games for the xbox it's halo, COD, GTA, Assassins creed, Rock band.

It all depends on what kind of games that you are into. Personally I enjoy the games that come on the 360 much much more. Plus ffXIII is coming out for it XD

SageBell · « **Reply #12 on:** October 17, 2008, 09:04:42 pm »

I SUCK AT HALO!.
i don't play final fantasy
i love spyro and some mario games....some.. preferably i like super mario sunshine thats a game cube game which i've proudly defeated.
i don't like guitair hero. frankly i suck at it. i love the drums.
but this argument isn't helping the debate here. grr...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** October 17, 2008, 09:05:27 pm »

well my vote is for xbox.

SageBell · « **Reply #14 on:** October 17, 2008, 09:08:49 pm »

i'm not sure what seraph's pick is but
its now
Wii - 2
Xbox- 3

....i should have made this a poll shouldn't i...

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2008, 09:09:50 pm »

well are vote is not what we like better it what we think what would be better for SageBell and with the info she just gave us i think a wii would be best for her and im not a pre teen and i dont play little kid game the only one that would come close would be havist moon and i like to play game online more

Seraph · « **Reply #16 on:** October 17, 2008, 10:44:47 pm »

Do note the guiter hero world tour will have drums if thats what you like the play as and its the only one where you can create and download player made tracks.

main downside with rock band 2 for the wii is that you have the wait til december for it to come out.

spyro's new game is on both systems http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40135.html

wii does have the new mario galaxy which has been getting great reviews.

oh here is the fragile trailer. its an action RPG from what I seen. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41553.html

very bloody game on the wii http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYvW-LyqYRY
even yahtzee liked it http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/33-No-More-Heroes

IGN had also confused the wii verison of CoD World at War for the 360 verison.

I admit I'm biased towards the Wii and I'm been feeling rather cynical towards the "hardcore" games.

@Sage
ehhhhhhhhhhhh?! I dun know how that got in there...and I get a anime trailer with the link so....I dunno

well here is gameplay trailer http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41160.html

either way, I'm trying to show are more balanced view of both systems despite my own personal bias.

oh btw, ck your myspace mail, I send a link for the photo I took of you.

SageBell · « **Reply #20 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:00:43 pm »

way ahead of you. already did that.

hey this time the link worked yay.

so we're still split on the two...

melchizedek · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:10:47 pm »

Well, I would vote for wii given that rockband can be played on multipul systems and there are some wii only games that miss sage is after

Bob · « **Reply #22 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:15:31 pm »

360 all the way. Xbox live may cost, but if you think about its really cheap. 20$ for 3 months? sweet deal. 50$ for 13 months? sweeter deal. we have Oblivion, better rock band possibilities, final fantasy 11, the new one coming out-Fable 2 (holy crap this game is gonna be awesome, im working my butt off this weekend making the money to get it tuesday), all sorts of first person shooters,the arcade, you can hook your computer up to your xbox and listen to music and watch videos(thats right even anime) on your tv from your computer through your xbox. its more of a mature system, the graphics are waaaaaay better. the variety of games is astonishing. I just got done watching my neighbor totoro from my xbox actually. If you go with xbox there are so many kinds of games you can never get bored. each one looks completely different from the last. plus mean people wont call you a Wiitard. thats a good bonus I must say.

melchizedek · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:23:32 pm »

I think that Sagebell is more into fighting games then rpgs or online play

But yeah, xbox media center is cool. I met someone that djed with his xbox, just had a bunch of music videos and and a projector we danced the night away.... even had daftpunk

Bob · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:25:28 pm »

we still have fighting games, I know theres at least 3, not sure of there names beside soul cal.

Seraph · « **Reply #25 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:31:54 pm »

she said she doesn't play final fantasy. and you can get FFXI on the computer anyway.

rock band possiblilities...I suppose you're refering to importing the rock band 1 songs & downloadable content.

I don't believe she cares much for FPS if I'm not misunderstanding what she said. Either way, a lot of FPS nowadays are trying to be like Halo which is overrated imho.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvanJYOGlus

music and videos.....I can do that with my computer too...<_< still people may like that feature

fighting games? let me get a couple of trailers for the Wii
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40897.html < a new Capcom vs. game.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41433.html < a Deat...errr...Castlevania fighter. looks interesting
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40606.html < bleach fighter....I dunno about this one. first one was very meh.

and of course, there is brawl and then there is the next verison of the naruto fighting game as well.

Bob · « **Reply #26 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:40:35 pm »

I don't know much about the wii, so I can't say much about it sorry. but you know my vote.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #27 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:42:32 pm »

I vote for Wii. My brother has an xBox 360, so I don't get to play it a lot. But, from what I've seen, the graphics are good, but , I personally prefer the Wii. A friend of mine has it, and whenever I go over to her house, that's all I do. And Brawl looks wicked.

Seraph · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:43:24 pm »

@bob
thats fine.
I admit my knowledge on the 360 is pretty limited as well.

SageBell · « **Reply #29 on:** October 18, 2008, 05:50:57 am »

so we're still split.. lol
what is FPS..of wait first person shooter.... yeah i fail at those on an epically bad level.
i like fighting and racing and the occasional kids game... occasional
i dunno what catagorie zelda is under but i'd like that but i can get twilight princess for the game cube

Seraph · « **Reply #30 on:** October 18, 2008, 05:43:55 pm »

I believe zelda falls under action adventure. 360 has them but they tend to focus more on the action then the adventure I believe. Devil May Cry 4 is one example where they focus on the action purely.

I mentioned fighting games, I dunno about what racing games 360 has so you'll have to ask the 360 fans on that. Wii does have Mario Kart at least.

For consideration, some shooting games on the Wii may work out better for you. just be careful as FPS have been a hit and miss on Wii due to controls. Currently, Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes 2 have the best Wii FPS controls. Metroid Prime does have a lock on so that helps in aiming in the right direction while Medal of Honor lets your customize the controls extently.
Also note, the Wii verison of Twilight Princess does have you aiming the bow & arrow like a FPS in a few parts(bascially, whenever you're not locked on)

NightLotus · « **Reply #31 on:** October 18, 2008, 05:45:48 pm »

I love the bow in TP! is a lot of fun ^^
and yea.... pretty much everything i was going to say Seraph covered

Fable 2!!!!!!!!! gah super awesome RPG came out today!

SageBell · « **Reply #39 on:** October 23, 2008, 07:11:29 pm »

yeah i heard that too.
+ 2 more to PS3 and +1 to xbox 360 from today

Sayda · « **Reply #40 on:** October 23, 2008, 09:52:39 pm »

Also, the Wii, if you're still considering it is more of a party system. If you have siblings that are all into games, then the Wii would be fun, but if not, or you're an only child, the 360 is a much better choice.

I got a 360, and really enjoy it. Mustache is right, the games for the 360 are a lot cheaper then the PS3, and there are generally more titles out that would catch your interest for the 360 then for the PS3.

SageBell · « **Reply #41 on:** October 23, 2008, 11:32:37 pm »

theres not a new xbox coming out soon is there? because i dont want to buy something then the new system come out right after.
that basically happened when my gamecube

melchizedek · « **Reply #42 on:** October 23, 2008, 11:34:21 pm »

It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't new rev of 360. For the first x-box they changed out the processors to ibm ones and tweaked the PSU so it wouldn't be a fire hazard. History repeats itself.
