bigruss Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 08:23 PM) Another benefit Tru neglected... PSN is free. The MSRP is now like $60 per 12 months, you can usually find it onsale at some point for about $40 but still it's getting a bit out of hand.

flippedoutpunk Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Im in the middle when it comes to the two consoles, T R U yells at me for it all the time.. I dont mind paying 60 dollars once a year to play online if it means i can play my tunes and chat with my buds while spanking some tail at nba 2k. ive always said, once ps3 enables those two things, it will be very difficult for me to choose what console to play with more. ..Oh one thing i do dislike about PSN though, i cant change my freaking name!! ive been baggedurmom since '07! i want to bring Hamburger Fries to the PSN damnit!

DBAHO Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Dragon Age 2 comes out this week. Am more excited for Mass Effect 3 later in this year (BTW played the Shadow Broker DLC, there is some quite humurous info at the end of it on the likes of Miranda etc.), but this should be a very good game as well.

danman31 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) I gotta admit, I was expecting more out of AC Brotherhood... it seemed so short compared to AC2 even though the map was much bigger. It's like it was a really big DLC for AC2 or something. Yeah, I think the gameplay is slightly better than 2, but Brotherhood feels short. Of course, part of that could be that you are always in one map so you don't have to wait on load times to switch places (which really annoyed me in the first 2 games). I've been getting into the multiplayer lately so I'm getting my money's worth out of the game.

I don't understand the chat thing. What's the big deal about that? You can chat during multiplayer games when needed. As for the music, I always have my laptop in the room with me so if I want music, I use that. To me, these seem like very small things to choose a console over.

Im not sure how the PS3 chat works, but if I understand it correctly one would not be able to chat with a friend unless both are in the same game. I know personally that I will talk with friends constantly who are in other games, and is pretty much how I keep up with friends who have graduated, don't live nearby, etc. It also allows creating of parties for games much easier, instead of having to call a friend I just join their party chat and ask them that way, and can talk to them til they join.

danman31 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That is better than PS3's text only chat, but I wouldn't use the voice chat. Heck, I don't even have a headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, these seem like very small things to choose a console over. If you have a PS3 and say 5 of your friends are online, the only way you could talk with them is if ALL of them are in the same game as you.. On XBOX, you all could be playing totally different games or not playing anything at all, maybe just watching a movie on netflix, and you could all be in the same party together.. How a next gen console doesn't have the ability to let gamers all be in a party seems pretty ridiculous to me.. I don't have a problem paying $5 a month to get to use a (much better) online service.. I get every penny out of it too.. If you wanna be legit about it, each system has its benefits over the other.. they both have great visuals, so when it comes down to it its pretty much whichever you prefer.. I prefer XBOX, and really cant see any reason what so ever to switch to a PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ya, forgot about that. Miranda's webchat on the dating site is very amusing as well. Apparently there'll be a new DLC called Arrival (to do with the Reapers obviously) that'll be announced, probably this week actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god the PS3 allows me to wear a tiny little bluetooth headset, but even I never use it, and haven't it probably over a year. Party Chat might change that though.

And it is a little bit nerdy, but so is playing video games. You get used to the headset real quick, and is really not a problem at all. I only wear it if there is a friend online, which is almost always, since game chats usually suck, but party chats are one of the highlights of playing online, totally different experience being able to coordinate with only your friends while in a game.

Voice Chat is a way for me to chat with friends that betrayed chicago and moved to texas *cough*t r u*cough* without awkward guy-on-guy cell phone talk. As bigruss said, headsets are a must when playing online for me so i need music coming from the headset and i shouldnt have to ghetto rig my music for a feature thats been standard on 360 since launch.
