Oh wait.

Lozmaster Wrote:And yellow lights of death for PS3. Still, they tended to take years of use to appear. Meanwhile My wii is still going strong. I suppose, at least the stability that comes with using slightly outdated hardware is an advantage for Nintendo consoles.

Polantaris Wrote:It does? Did you pay attention to the PS3 library? It only got two decent exclusive RPGs that I can think of off the top of my head after years of it being released. Ni no Kuni and Tales of Graces f. Technically, neither are even exclusive considering both games are actually expanded versions of a game released on another system. Ni no Kuni was originally on the DS and Tales of Graces was on the Wii. I cannot think of any RPG that the PS3 got that was exclusive to it entirely, and to top it off it has a lackluster RPG library to begin with.

I call the use of the excuse machine again for the PS4 for why it will be unable to support backwards compatibility except PS1 again now.

Curtiss Wrote:This list seems to be a bit off but of the exclusives here Ar Tonelico Qoga and the Atelier games are definitely good RPGs and were the only reason why I even had thoughts about buying a PS3.

Polantaris Wrote:I did forget about the Ar Tonelico and Atelier games, thanks for correcting me on that.

But compared to the amount of 360 exclusives there are....360 was definitely the "RPG" console this generation.

Curtiss Wrote:Ironically, that was the console I got before selling it off and Tales of Vesperia was most certainly not an exclusive RPG. That being said, exclusives are dumb and so none of the console sellers are going to earn my money any more.

KhainiWest Wrote:Wii/nintendo is the only console worth buying because it doesn't depend on graphics or cinema gimmicks. The mario games are alone worth the purchase imo

Lozmaster Wrote:Exclusives are dumb. What? PC has exclusives too, so that doesn't really make any sense as an argument. Unless you're quitting gaming completely? (Seems to me like that would be an extreme step to take).

Also: Just heard the PS4 has no backwards compatibility. What is so hard with these console makers that stops them from thinking complete BC is worth their time? Nintendo managed to get 1 generations worth of complete support for it for two consoles now, but sony don't even try?

CrazyForDex Wrote:If Nintendo would actually market more games to the older hardcore gaming audience, then I would agree. It is extremely annoying to have to shell out $300-400 when the only games worth buying are Zelda, Mario, and Super Smash Brothers. I have always been a huge Nintendo fan, but I have really started to like Sony a lot more since I got a PS3. I will probably get the Wii U if those three games I listed look amazing (as they usually do), but it bothers me that Nintendo keeps catering to younger kids and I tend to feel that I wasted some money.

CrazyForDex Wrote:@KhainiWest;

That's a really good point and I feel that they have almost backed themselves into a corner where they now need to be extremely creative if they want to make games that cater to older fans. It's kind of a shame, but until they master this motion technology I don't know what games they should make.

I think another metroid game would be fun considering they haven't released a good one since Metroid Prime. Since Nintendo is known for its exclusives, if motion control is the way they are going, they need to utilize these exclusives more.

KhainiWest Wrote:I feel the lack of standard controller really limits that availability. I mean are there any games specific you think would work great on the wii? I essentially cross out anything that has to do with first person shooting because the Wii is so hell bent on motion aiming that it's utter crap compared to it's counterparts.

edit: When I say wii I also mean the wiiu
