Anyone recommmend a good 2 player co-op for PS3? I've completed resistance with my mate on every diffifulty now!

Try Rainbow Six Vegas.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Has it got much playability though? I found previous rainbow six games were easy to complete and didn't last long, also, is ghost recon any good?

I'm looking for maximum playability, nothing too epic, but enjoyable.

That completely depends on your own gaming preferences, really. The Tom Clancy games are an acquired taste. Personally, I think R6 Vegas is one of the best FPS on the market right now and love both Vegas and GRAW series to death.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

YES!!!! Ask and you shall receive!

Hmmm looks like the release of Halo 3 didn't prompt that many 360 sales.

It did prompt up a lot of sales for the Xbox 360, but not as much as many people were thinking.

Just like I said, most people who were going to get Halo 3, already had an Xbox 360.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Well played

In all honesty Halo 3 is a huge let down for me. Nothing special at all.

 

[Spidey17]

You're insane.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

You're insane.

Tell me what is really all that different from Halo 2 to Halo 3?

What is the big difference from Halo to Halo 2?

The game is fun no doubt, but it's nothing special.

 

[GFreeman]

Why does there need to be a big difference? When you get the kind of critical and commercial success that Halo gets, you'd be foolish to change things up too much.

 

[DoomRulz]

What is the big difference from Halo to Halo 2?

Better level designs, more weapons, better weapons, a second story, and online play. 'nuff said.

Halo 3 has the play back funtion, much better online stats, much better graphics, much bigger battles, new vehicles (fricken Hornet baby!) the enemies are incredibly intelligent, and four player co-op online! And besides, if a game franchise reinvented itself from one game to the next as opposed to just expanding it like Halo (and most games) does, fans would just be pissed.

And Halo is much better than Halo 2 IMO other than multiplayer.

If it ain't broke...

Actually there are no 16 player matches anymore. The largest are 12. So the battles are actually smaller.

All nice improvements but nothing that made me go wow. Yeah I know if it ain't broken don't fix it, but that's why I am saying it's a let down. They didn't need to really make a lot of improvements or reinvent the wheel so the game is fun. But that's it, it's only fun.

Nothing mind blowing.

They've updated it. You can now play an 8 on 8 match. How do I know? I just played one. It just shows you know nothing about Halo.


And not that I don't love pointing out you were wrong about that, but that's not what I was even talking about. I was talking about the campaign.

Nothing mind blowing.

The play-back feature is nothing but mind blowing. The entire "theater" feature is mind blowing.

 

[SouLeSS]

Yeah dude, you're a total ****tard if you don't think the play-back and all its features are nothing short of what 'next-gen' really is.

 

[DorkyFresh]

most fair comparison between 360 and PS3 i've seen yet (might've already been posted)...

[YT]OZcisyDQGwE[/YT]

 

[Jerry!]

So after all that in the video, after all the ranking and giving out points, the conclusion is the same bull**** PS3 fans have been saying for months: The 360 is good now, but the PS3 will be better in the future. Wonderful. What a breakthrough.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i take it your comparison would be more in favor of the 360? just wondering...no beef being brought.

 

[DACMAN]

The PS3 is going to loose this "console war" hardcore.

 

[imdaly]

most fair comparison between 360 and PS3 i've seen yet (might've already been posted)...

That video has the prices all messed up for the XBOX 360.

The "base price" would be $279.99, not $400.
Doesn't need Wi-Fi, which doesn't cost $100 anyway.
Doesn't need an HD DVD player (or as the dude calls it: "HD/DVD"?), which is not $200, but $179.99 including "King Kong" and a universal remote.

He gives a point to PS3 for being a better price if the person buying wants everything and the kitchen sink (but not a HD cable, remote control, or 1 High Def movie), but fails to consider a person just wanting to play games.

Btw, has the PS3 had any games yet that let you use more than 4 controllers at the same time on 1 system yet? Any plans in the future? Or is this still just a talking point that means nothing?



But overall, I'd say that, yes, that's probably one of the most balanced comparison videos I've seen yet. Definitely still has it's flaws, though.
