...hmm, that's an unusual arrangement, and Bane is ok with that?
I mean, he doesn't find it intrusive or anything..?... |
I'm not as hip to the console market as I used to be, but the reason I don't pay a whole lot of attention to Nintendo anymore is the age bracket they seem to target. A lot of their games are aimed towards the kiddies. Maybe this has changed... dunno. Besides, the GC controller sucks.
You're right, a lot of PS2 games are total crap, but their are some gems in there too. Have you tried Manhunt? Pretty cool concept, gruesome as hell, lots of swearing... definately NOT for the kids. Anyway, if you take the total number of PS2 games, subtract the garbage, you still end up with a larger number than the XBox's entire collection...
including the crap.
My PS2 has been collecting dust since I picked up an XBox. It just kicks the shit out of the PS2 as far as graphics and sound are concerned. I mean, Splinter Cell is fucking beautiful. The PS2 version looks like shite in comparison. Not to mention automatic Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The PS2 still has the Dualshock2 controller though dammit. That thing is still the best out there.[/quote:1b3c7]
Define a "kiddie game". Something like parrapa the rapper i can understand as being kiddie because noone over the age of 10 would like that kind of crap...( i hope). People class games as being kiddie because they have cartoonish graphics, that doesn;t really mean anything imo. You could have the most cartooney game in the world with a rockhard difficulty that wold challenge anyone, would it really be targeted to 10 year olds then if 20 year olds can;t beat it? Probably not.
People seem to think games with blood ass and tits are for "adults" whereas anything lacking these traits is destined for the "kiddie label". If peoples idea of fun is needing to have a ton of blood squiriting about the screen constantly then they don't have the slightest idea of what makes a game "fun" in the first place.
As for sonys dualshock controller, its not really an innovation in any sense, basically a ripoff of the snes controller with some additions and thats it.
