A thread for Gamers.

What I'm eager for is how it'll expand upon the weapons. We've never really had a Star Wars game that expanded deeply on the design of blasters, and I like how they've added displays on the actual gun showing how much ammo is left in the currently loaded magazine, rather than a counter on your HUD. Not to mention, the fact that as a Stormtrooper you might actually see some of your helmet like in Republic Commando would be great.

What I hope though is we get to customize our character. I for one would love running around as a Scout Trooper or a Storm Commando.

So take what was there for the PSP Battlefront games and expand on it?

Hopefully, or at least have different skins, Scout Troopers, Spec Force Commandos, Storm Commandos, Rad Troopers, etc.

Well, shit.

So First Assault looks good, but problem is, Lucasarts, being the retards they are, have put in on ice because of being bought by Disney. And they are afraid it won't make money.

Seriously? I've never understood the logic that Lucasarts employs post 2006. All of their moves appear to be retarded mistakes that simply caused a bunch of fuck ups. Hopefully they do release First Assault though, and then when it obviously sells well, they make Battlefront III all goddamned ready.

I don't care about first assault but they better friggin release 1313.

Good question. I bought it at 120 Bucks.
Gonna assume the Wii was around 40$ Release day
PS3 somewhere in the 600 range
360 probably about 3 or 4
Games: 60 BUcks or so. And no Valve or Steam code. Except for EA. Burn in hell EA

PC gaming = no Legend of Zelda

$60.....exactly the same as PC games, I believe.

What? The Wii was not $40 on day one. And that has nothing to do with the question, assuming you are throwing out console prices. And if you got a 360 for 120 bucks, you must of got a great deal.

I knwo but that's what I would pay for a Wii.
Yeah I got a new Arcade for 120 Bucks (Grama had a Walmart card so the Tax and 3% Off of the price was taken off)

So far God of War Ascension has been entertaining.

I don't know how much we got a Wii for, but I know we got it like 1 or 2 years after it came out and we still had to go early to get it before it sold out

Really, the notion of console wars or console vs PC is completely stupid, IMO.

Seriously, it's like this:
There is a game. Do I want it? Y/N
->Y
Do I already own the hardware I need to run it? Y/N
->Y. Purchase game.
->N.
Do I really, REALLY, absolutely have to play this game? Y/N
->Y. Buy the computer hardware, or console necessary to play the game.
->N. Don't get the hardware or console.

It also depends how much you care about modding the games. I don't know about everyone else, but everyone I've met that prefers PCs still have consoles. Such as I, as some of my favorite series are console exclusives.

I prefer consoles for first person games and PC for strategy games that don't require me to turn 360 degrees in a split second to knife a dude in the oesophagus.

Agreed. Hell, if I could, I would have a really high-end PC. Even if I had a high-end PC I wouldn't throw out crap like "PC Master Race", because it just makes you look like an ass in my opinion. And there would still be the exclusives I would want for PS3. I would say Xbox 360 exclusives too, but in general, I think PS3 has more and better exclusives, from what I have observed. The one Xbox 360 exclusive I wanted, Alan Wake, was transferred to PC and was playable on my dads computer, so yeah...

This too, for some games. I do alright on the PC for that too, though.

Est, I think you mean 180. 360 degrees is pointless as that means you're back where you started.

Although this is also why I like Battlefield, as when people try to get 'quick scope' kills with sniper rifles, I laugh when they miss and mow them down with an F2000.

Not too sure about that. Whenever I've seen a game, either online or in the shops, the consoles have been at least £10 more expensive. Looking online, the difference seems more pronounced. I think the most notable one for me was with BF3 - the console version (both online and retail) was waaay more expensive than the PC version.
