Why gamers should not buy a PS3

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 17, 2008, 10:52 AM
news

Why? Because Sony only built the PS3 to promote blu-ray. Not for gamers... BLU RAY!!! the sooner people get this threw their thick skulls the better.

I just spent the last hour commenting on other peoples journals trying to defend gaming in general because these morons that bought a PS3 and automatically think that the current game market isn't fun anymore. Hello?!?! you bought a PS3, of course your going to think that. It was meant to be a blu-ray DVD player. To further my point, when I went to Blockbuster yesterday I saw a brand new PS3 on display, not playing game demos like the console should, but on its fancy Sony flat screen monitor it was playing bloody Pirates of the Caribbean. The last time I checked that was a movie.

Sure Sony has 2 good titles I'm interested in playing... like Ratchet and Clank... and that other one where its a male Tomb Raider wanna be. But in the end.. I can play any other game title I want on any other system. The only thing PS3 has going are for those gamers that will never move on to a different genre. Yes I'm talking about those die hard Devil may cry and Final fantasy fans. I don't even call these people gamers anymore who only play one type of game. Heck the last game I would recomend for Play Station in general is God of War, but even not thats becoming redundant with the 3rd game to be released later this year. New titles for the PS3 just doesn't spark my interest because its the same crap being pushed out with a new label.

Sad fact is Sony is going to win the blu-ray war because they screwed over gamers. Those that have a PS3 use it for a blu-ray player. Why not? its cheaper then HD and Blu-ray stand lone players. If I really wanted that little jump in quality in my nonexistent home theater, maybe I would by a PS3. Trouble is Paramount, Walmart and Blockbuster among the few see the retail sales of blu ray being higher then that of HD thinking that blu-ray is what everyone wants, so they go with blu-ray only format. Its taking statistics and bending the truth. Not to mention porn is now on blu-ray. At this rate, HD doesn't have a chance and we wont really see which format will win. Sneaky ploy Sony, its working.

I could really rant on forever on this. And I probably will with on onslaught of Journal comments I'm going to get for this. Let it be known if I get any, PS3 is an awesome console bull shit, fuck off. I consider you part of the problem. Instead of really looking at the facts to what Sony is doing to the gaming market, you ignorantly stay a die hard fan of Play Station. Because somewhere you think it hasn't gone wrong in the last 10 years that it will still put out and full fill my needs. Well wake up. Your getting screwed. Its time to move on a demand more then just re-hatched game ideas. Become an educated gamer!

I bought a PS3 cause I love games. Therefore I need all systems to enjoy the exclusivities, which is really only first party stuff no a days.

Seriously though, why the angst? I'm really tired of anti-sony bullshit. So you don't like the system. Good for you. I hate my Wii, but I still play it and enjoy the brief shining moments it has to offer (Nintendo being the biggest culprit of lack of innovation as of late). Microsoft is Microsoft, no one likes them. Thier systems are shoddy and they make me pay to play against my friends. Something that has been free on the PC since Quake (before really) and is free on the other consoles, not to mention their controller is only really good for FPS/3PS (which dominate that console). Companies are going to continue making the same game/franchise cause it SELLs, and that has everything to do with the people buying them. Same reason why every MMO is trying to copy WoW cause 10 million subscribers can't be wrong...right? It doesn't matter though cause it makes people money. (Blizzard is also a culprit of never having an original idea in their company's history, they just do it better)

Seriously, every gamer just needs to shut the fuck up and enjoy the great games across all platforms.

BTW, the mission statement for the PS3 was to be the most powerful system ever with the newest features, Kutaragi believed Blu-Ray was the next step and that is the only reason it is in there...and cause Kutaragi is insane (remember the original $899 estimated system cost?). It is winning cause of shrewd sales, better marketing, and better support for movie comps.

You are no more informed than the people you are looking down upon in some blind crusade. Just play some games and enjoy yourself cause this little shit DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. :D

How often do you actully play your PS3? And I mean PS3 only titles. Not something that I can play on Xbox PC or Wii?

I'm a fan of old Final Fantasy, and KH too. Heck Chrono Cross will forever be one of my top favorite games.

But I'm not going to by a whole system just to play one game. Especially now since Final Fantasy will eventually come to other systems.

There are actually significantly fewer game titles for the PS3 as compared to the Wii (which still has a few but they're getting bettr) or the 360, but after reading the journal entry, I'm sure you knew this.

:iconpharao-girl:
i dunno, but PS3 is just an excuse to make more money. I see no reason why i should buy it..because it plays on blue ray and has a better game quality? And its expensive too! PS2 is like the same as PS3. :/

I still miss the old PS1 and Nintendo64, i still love them. Sadly theyre gone.

If you read this, you eat poop.
:iconcharfade:
You miss understood me. I'm taking about casual gamers who own a PS3 and complain there are no good games.

Actually how many PS3 only titles have you played? How often do you play PS3? Lets narrow that question further... How often do you play PS3 in the past month?

I know we have been threw this before. I'm not saying its all bad. If you want a cheap blu-ray player the doubles as a gaming unit, by all means buy it. You'll get more use out of it. but if you buying souly for a gaming platform... there are much better options.

Sony is just using the PS3 to promote blu-ray and win the format war. I have a hard time stomaching this fact. As a gamer I feel like I'm being cheated. If the PS3 would actully do what they promised for the gaming community, where we have this really powerful system which is not even being used, then I would give it my respect.

The only people I'm really looking down upon is Sony, and to say it doesn't fucking matter, well it does, it matters a lot if ONE person is turned off by games for the rest of there life just because there PS3 let them down. And that one person can become a lot more.

Yeah because its so hard to develop games for blu-ray technology. I can see maybe 3 years from now when developers have a better handle on it only then will see start seeing good games for the PS3. As for now... PS3 = blu-ray player
