Re: [Audyssey] which game interests you more...

2011-01-31 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi,

Well, my in-laws have an XBox 360, and my wife likes it. I myself
don't have a personal preference between XBox or Play Station III, but
since I'm not the only person making the decision I'll have to go with
whatever my wife wants. After all, she and my son will probably end up
using it more than I will.

While I like mainstream games I actually get a bit depressed when I
have difficulty/trouble playing some games. I once was sighted, and
even the games that are playable don't give me the same thrill. I
usually just get frustrated and upset over small things like menus,
status messages, etc and other things I just can't see knowing 20
years ago that wasn't a problem. So my wife and son usually end up
playing those kinds of games more than I personally doThat's why I'm
not being as vocal over an XBox or Play Station as it doesn't really
matter. I'll get a few games I like, but the console will mainly be
for them not me.

Cheers!

 xbox360 that aren't fighters, but most games I play are ps3
 exclusives. Out of curiocity though, why the xbox360? Not trying to
 bash, just curious to know.

Fair enough... I can only imagine how that must've been like. But to 
be honest, that's one of the reasons I love fighting games to death. 
As much as there is that requires visual cues such as spacing, combos 
and the like, it's possible to do those things without being able to 
see.. it just takes time and patience. And menus can be a pain but 
once you get past those fighting games give a thrill that a lot of 
other games don't. Ones that are playable I mean. For the simple 
reason that... as fun as things like Rock band can be, there's a 
layer of strategy in a fighting game that you don't get in other 
multiplayer games that we can play on consoles. Hence why I'm so 
excited for Marvel VS. Capcom 3. I like the fact that fighting games 
are probably the closest we can get to sighted people on a 
competetive level, and it never gets boring facing people online who 
have their own styles, play differently, etc. But like I said.. I can 
only imagine what that must be like, to know that some time ago 
reading menus and whatnot wouldn't be a problem.

It is:

www.fightersgeneration.com

It's not an official site run by any company, just a guy who knows 
every bit of info there is to know about games of this genre.

Hi,

Oh, my vote is definitely for MVC 3. I'm a big comic book fan, and
have been something of a fan of the MVC games. Plus as you pointed out
the last few MK games weren't really that impressive. I've pretty much
lost interest in that series, and unless there is something really
steller I'm gnot forking over any cash for MK 9 myself.

Cheers!

 For those who are going to answer because of audio differences,
 please don't bother. This is an honest question for some discussion,
 not to convert people or start a flame war. Which game interests you
 more at the moment? Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 or MK 9?

 Personally, MVC 3 is looking a lot better to me at the moment. Fresh
 mechanics, but with enough old stuff to keep it good. A cast of
 characters who are both old and new... and a whole lot more to keep
 it interesting.

 Reasons for skepticism where MK is concerned:
 1. The last four games have been clunky, badly designed, and just all
 around bad...
 2. MK 9 is openly copying a lot of things from other games... the
 developers even admitted at taking mechanics from Street Fighter 4,
 which depending on how you look at it can be good or bad.

 I'm questioning how good this game is. Nevertheless I was a huge MK
 fan back when I was in my early teens... which wasn't all that long
 ago. I still enjoy playing older games, but I am going to get this
 game with a big, big grain of salt... and we'll see where it goes.
 I've preordered my copy of MVC 3, and haven't preordered MK. However,
 I definitely plan to give it a try. I'm ready to give Midway another
 chance, mainly because from the explanations this game is definitely
 going to be deeperthan the past ones. Plus, extra-gory fatalities
 sound really good to me... I want to be able to respect MK as a
 fighting series again. Thoughts? Opinions... hopefully this
 discussion can span more than three  messages. lol.

Hi,

Well, my wife and I are looking at investing in an XBox 360, and of
course I'm keeping my eyes and ears pealed for any games I might enjoy
for the platform. As I have liked the MVC games in the past I'm
obviously curious to take a look at MVC 3.
