Wow this post is old. Want more recent gaming news? Head here.
Sony’s PlayStation 3 has its fair share of fans and detractors. Despite its supposed technological superiority it has appeared to be behind the curve for almost all of its life span. I’ve done the Wii, and I have done the Xbox 360. Now the PS3 is on the chopping block. Here are my Top 5 Reasons the PS3 Sucks.
5)No Cross Game Voice Chat
One of the greatest things about online gaming is the ability to talk to your friends from all over the world while enjoying your favorite form of entertainment. It’s too bad the PSN’s way of going about it is more confusing than Jim Carrey’s twitter feed. You have to follow your friend around from game to game, no matter what you yourself want to play, just to talk to him. While over on the Xbox it is as easy as inviting them to party chat.
4)Bad Ports
While it certainly has become less prevalent with the passing years the fact that a multi-platform game could come out significantly worse on the PlayStation 3 is just plain wrong. Developers still seem lost at times when trying to navigate the complex infrastructure of the PlayStation 3. Even though this problem has mainly disappeared it still crops up, as recently as Mafia 2
3)So many Ps3’s!
So you just got home with your nice new 120 gb PS3. Great price, and a great buy. Then you jump on your computer and see they are releasing a 160 gb one for the same price! Not to mention all the older backwards compatible ones you once could have had. Oh and if you want one of the old backwards compatible ones it will cost more than the new ones with more memory. What?
2)Titles
Sure titles such as Uncharted, Infamous, God of War and Little Big Planet are all awesome. But what else is there? For every exclusive title Sony has to offer Microsoft has an answer and then some. Halo alone has probably sold as much as those franchises combined. Not to mention games like Fable and Mass Effect. Even DLC tends to come to the 360 first.
1)Disturbing lack of games with a chainsaw gun
Would it be so hard for Nathan Drake to run around with as a curb-stomping, limb-lopping, chainsaw gun wielding hero? Or what about Kratos? That guy would love a chainsaw gun. You could even give it to a Sackboy and it will manage to be adorable. Come on Sony, step your game up.
