Author Topic: Next-Gen stinks (Read 17971 times)

By now you've heard of all the new "next-generation" consoles coming out. Sadly, they all suck. I mean, the games look like they kick butt, but the systems themselves...ugh:

Xbox 360 - Comes in only two flavors: An absurdley expensive $300 package without the fabled hard drive, meaning no backward compatability with the Xbox, or the ultra-absurdley expensive $400 with the hard drive and everything else. Shouldn't all these be STANDARD?!

PlayStation 3 - While no official price has been set (at least publically), it is expected to be about $300-$500, but as one package. And it STILL comes with no hard drive! No game saves for you!

Revolution - Don't think you Nintendo fans are off the hook. Nintendo hasn't actually revealed squat about the system...except that it's basically a GameCube with some stupid wierdo controller. The tiny morsels of tech specs are pretty much identical to the GameCube's, and that controller...it can't possibly be usable. It's shaped like a DVD remote and comes with a detachable analog stick, but -surprise, surprise- you can't play DVDs on it without a special bulky DVD attachment that sticks out and costs a lot of money. Hey, if I want a GameCube with a weird controller, I'll just buy one at GameStop and try to control it with a potato.

The "Phantom" - Hahaha, you're kidding, right? It's probably a hoax.

Yes, these views are very opinionated and I'll probably get a lot of flak from fans of all three current-gen systems, but remember the golden rule: If you don't like someone's view, then don't try to change it by complaining.

I actually support all those opinions... Minus one.

Once again, you've denouced the Nintendo controller as a freak of product engineering... A potato... Heheheh. I seriously don't think you can quite imagine how such a controller would feel yet. I think we've been over this before.

If you haven't actually TRIED the controller, you shouldn't give your opinion on it.

Something on the forums said that the DVD feature for the Rev. would be built in, and you chose if you want the DVD player built in.

You do realize we have these inventions called memory cards, right?

Yes. I do agree that this is your opinion but have you even tried all the systems yet?

> Nintendo hasn't revealed squat.

Of coure they didn't and you're saying they stink about that? Do you judge before you see? Do you assume that something in development looks dissapointing do you think the developers will not chage it in the next few months? (Maybe not the X360 because it comes out this year.)

The most important rule: Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Someone should close this and re-open it (if it's possible.) when all the next-gen systems come out and we'll see if they have all these mistakes.

EDIT-Stupid. I forgot to check HTML.

I have a positve thing to say about the controller.

Are you left handed? are you tired of the analog stick always being on the left? Introducing the Nintendo Revolution! The controller includes an analog stick attached by a cord. So you can play with the stick on your right or left hand! This way non-gamers will enjoy playing by holding the controller any way you want!

Edit- I put Nintendo the Revolution.
