360 or PS3?

It's funny though because even though the XBOX360 has more RPGs there's none to really sway me to buy it. I've mainly just been stocking up on PS2 RPGs. This really isn't the generation for JRPGs so far for any console.

360 or PS3?

Apparently Tri-Ace prefer working with the 360 and that's mainly why both their games are on the 360.. Or something like that.

Man you forgot Fable 2 & Mass Effect, Cryon(Mistwalkers new game) and I think one other. . Folklore that's it for the PS3. Oh yeah Eternal Sonata is only coming to the PS3 in Japan if that makes any difference?

And yeah Karsuman is right. Although they do have games coming they are either delayed or just to far away to get excited about.

Thanks for Fable 2 and Cryon. I forgot about those. Mass Effect appears on PC as well so I didn't include it as an exclusive (aka reason to buy a 360).

I wouldn't count Folklore as an RPG unless you count Zelda as an RPG. It's much closer to Zelda IMO than Pokemon.

I really hope PS3 doesn't become N64 2.0 with their lack of RPGs.

NPC Dialogue.

There are really many different approaches to this. The Squaresoft approach is just to make people say random things that may be occasionally useful (think of it like a dungeon with 15 chests and only 2 of them contain treasure). I just finished FFX and the dialogue for NPCs was largely irrelivant. Just random garbage about their sick kid (who you never help) or about how old they are.

I much prefer the Lunar way. Most of the dialogue in that game is good because there are interactions between the NPCs and the characters, or there is some sort relavance to their dialogue (history of the town or other characters), or it's just plain humourous.

360 has all the good games?

What about Uncharted, MGS4, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk and Resistance: Fall of Man? Not to mention the upcoming Resistance 2, FFXIII Versus, Infamous, and
LittleBigPlanet.
I have zero interest in all of those games. And where are the RPGs?

And that's perfectly fine. However, many people are interested in them. The original poster may or may not be (we don't know) and you aren't. To base the original poster's interests off yours won't necessarily help him make the right choice.

Sadly it seems that most RPGs are coming to the 360 (which is stunning really when you consider the install base in Japan). PS3 owners get FFXIII Versus, Valkyria Chronicles and White Knight Story. 360 owners get/have Lost Oddessey, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery, SO3, and Tales of Vesperia (the rest are multi-platform titles), plus a few more if you don't have a PC. Other than that the reset are cross platform titles.

I myself am considering a 360 but not until the Sept. price drop to 199 for the arcade :)

LittleBigPlanet.

Those are only the disc games. There's plenty of well reviewed indy games on the store like PixelJunk Monsters, Pixel Junk Eden, Siren: Bloodcurse, Blastzone, Tekken: Dark Ressurection.

Point being, there are lots of good games coming out for PS3 and lots that are already out.

That said, the 360 is a solid choice and a good platform, but to drag the PS3 through the mud and say its crap is just plain ignorance and fanboy-ism.

How to buy a console:
1) Compare Exclusives
2) Compare extra features
3) Compare DLC
4) Compare grpahics
5) Buy.

How not to buy a console
1) Ask the internet directly.

Asking which console to buy isn't going to get you any helpful answers because you'll get a ton of biased answers from both side. Really you need to do the research yourself. It's the only way you'll be happy.

If you're worried about hardware failure, don't. The 360 has been good since the latest revision and the PS3 has never had any issues. Choose one to fit your needs.

Any Three the Hard Way Walkthough?

That was really his best weapon? I seem to recalled changing it after a while. Oh well, best not to argue with the game designer ^_^
