360 Fanboy says God of War III the Reason to Borrow a PS3

March 20, 2010 in Blog comments 19

In part two of the "360 Fanboy" series of articles PlanetXbox360.com looks at God of War III, and whether or not it stands up to the great reviews and praise it has been getting recently.

It should be obvious at this that point that even though I praise the glorious console known as the Xbox 360, I like many people out there still own a PS3 as well and from time to time dust it off and boot her up. So it should be no surprise that I played through God of War III earlier this week and have a few things to say about it. GoW3 had a lot to live up to, the first two iterations in the series pushed the PS2 hardware to new heights with each release and GoW3 does the same, at least visually anyways. Don't get me wrong, GoW number 3 is a great game and a huge achievement for Sony, but it still felt as though it was the weakest piece of the trilogy and I will touch on that in a bit.

    The more you talk, the more you look like an idiot. Just stick with what you know... being a fanboy.

      But that includes talking like an idiot, so I'd say he's doing a pretty good job.

    Okay. As gamers, most of us are just all around fans of technology. As fans of technology, the PS3 is an absolute dream.

    Blu-Ray, incredible HD visuals, HD audio, great games, Wi-Fi in every system, easily upgradable HDDs, Netflix streaming, free online gaming, some of the best games of all time available for download off the Store... how can you not be in love with this package? And for only 300 dollars.

    Does it do everything better than the competition? Maybe not in some areas, is it well worth the price of admission? Abso*bleep*inglutely. Why would you not want to own a PS3?

    As a lover of both movies and videogames, the PS3 is a no brainer to me, and owning the 60gb version that plays all my old PS1 and PS2 games, it is my favorite console of all time. You can call me a fanboy, I call it common sense. For me, it just fits like a glove. I used to have a 360, I just didn't use it enough to warrant having it around.

      Unfortunately those who didn't get launch models don't have that glorious backwards compatability available to them. In all other regards, however, it is indeed a nice machine to own. Some of my best gaming experiences have been on PS3, and with some of the great games releasing this year, I have a feeling it will only get better.

        I have no sympathy for those people. The only reason Sony discontinued the best SKU of the PS3 to date was because all those people bitched and complained about the price. Pony up the cash or shut up and be patient. It's gone now thanks to all that.

        I jumped on that thing for that reason exactly, I always had a feeling it wouldn't last. You don't have to be rich or anything, just save your money.

    I have both systems, and being a fanboy is just stupid. When the PS3 first came out I admit I favored the 360 because of the poor PS3 lineup, but now it's different.

    Favoring a console over another isn't really being a fanboy either.

    Am I the only one in the entire world, who really just plain doesn't care the least bit about the GOW series?

    And concerning fanboys . . . yeah.

      No your not the only one. I played through Chains of Olympus on PSP to see what every one was raving about, but besides the good graphics it didn't do much for me. So now I'll be avoiding future GOW games.

        Future GoW games? Isn't this the last one?

        But yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. Whilst I did enjoy Chains of Olympus, I have no interest in playing the main series...I'll probably pick it up later on when it's cheap but for now, too much on my plate.

          Last in the Kratos extrrrrravaganza; they're making another GoW series but with a different mythos to work with, I believe.

      You're not alone. Couldn't care less about the series. Would totally jump on Heavy Rain though.

        Hear hear RCG! Never really seen the point in the hype with God of War, played the first 2 and thought they were linear and repetitive =/ However, Heavy Rain, Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank are reasons i'm getting a PS3.

    Why would they? Will the game have the title God of War?

      There are lots of gods of war you just have to change the mythology and take another, they all have amazing tales to tell. Like all mythology it's ripe with intrigue.

    I have a feeling he said it was the weakest installment to be in theme with the 360 Fanboy theme

    Borrow a PS3.. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would lend me a PS3 they would be too busy enjoying all of its games to give a shit about what I want. I wouldn't have it any other way either the PS3 is *bleep*ing beast.

    The moment you admit to being a fanboy, all credibility is lost.
