Lol, hentai.
LOL, awful hentai scenes getting in the way of an otherwise good story. I would've paid for a US release of the PS2 version of
Fate/stay night, because that version doesn't have those scenes. (As it stands, the only US release of any game in that series is the download-only release of the PSP version of
Fate/Unlimited Codes, a port of a PS2 fighting game developed by the people who did
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.)
I have in fact played the 360 before, bobman, and again, for the purposes of this thread, I would absolutely choose it over the PS3. The only PS3 exclusive I've seen that I would go out and pay full price for is
Demon's Souls - which, you'll note, definitely isn't a shmup. (To be fair, the exclusives I've seen on the 360 that I would go out and pay full price for are
Raiden IV, the import-only
Mushihime-sama Futari, and
Raiden Fighters Aces, though I can and do already play the
Raiden Fighters games via MAME. All of these
are shmups.)
And this is just talking about exclusives that I'd be buying brand-new on disc. If you look at the systems' download services, suddenly there are a lot more games I'm interested in. Unfortunately, I still can't justify the cost of either system to be able to play ports of arcade, PSX, and Dreamcast games, because that's most of what I'm interested in on either download service.
(Also, when did I say I only play shmups? A quick look at the games sitting on my desk right now reveals six shmups...eight rhythm games, eight RPGs, six puzzle games, two beat-'em-ups, three driving games, two first-person adventure games, more first-person shooters and real-time strategy games than I'll ever get around to playing, and a handful of other titles not grouped with any of the above. This is only counting physical games, not stuff I've digitally purchased, and it's only stuff on my desk, not the numerous GBA games inside my desk or the stacks of NES and PC games sitting behind me.)
