But I agree halfway with your second statement. A good game deserves a good chance and then some replay at that. Although I don't think you are giving that concept of "no time to replay" enough consideration. For some, it means they want to try more games on their bucket list. For me, at least, I play games to win. I don't just try them and put them back on the shelf. I give them an honest try and then some. Not necessarily getting all the trophies and whatnot; but an honest playthrough nonetheless from beginning to end (regardless of difficulty; lest it means I'd be getting any less of the story/experience). I see games as any other entertainment medium, and so I play them to appreciate the art form from beginning to end (like I would a movie or a song). So when I know games will take me longer than 15-30 dedicated hours to beat, I approach them with more caution and informed decision to play. And, yes, I have a great many other games I want to beat as well.

Howlongtobeat is a good website I follow before I start any of my gaming endeavors. It gives you a good idea of how long a game will take you to beat.

Some games are about only the story with no replay value (The Last of Us. I'm still waiting to forget it's storyline more before a replay. My next version/playthrough will also be PS4 60fps); some games are about story and fun gameplay with a ton of replay (Mass Effect Trilogy. Feels so good to play an RPG with interesting gameplay. Ditto as to why Shining Force series are my fave RPGs); and some games are mostly about the gameplay and it's ultra combo replay value (ME3mp).

Just like one guy here who said he prefers Shining Force CD because it skips all the filler and gets to the most important part every time; the gameplay.

Really? My 720p & 1080p TVs have it and it's sure sounds like the exact same 5.1 signal coming through my 5.1 surround sound 4 speaker XP500 Turtle Beach headset. So it's the exact same quality if I connect it to the back of my X-Box 360 or TV for me. That why I bought a TB headset, for playing games in glorious surround sound. So sorry to hear otherwise. Didn't know there were such rip off TVs out there...

I don't think it's as big deal as you make it out to be since you can still connect to the internet via best possible method. Especially when it also kept the console price down too. ie. PS3 was stupid expensive when it came out.

That and it's a heck of a lot better then the other way around with how the WiiU only has WiFi and no option to hardwire it out of the box. Took my brother forever just to get the day 1 patch to finally work due to us living in the big city surrounded by apartments and crazy WiFi interference. There's a Ethernet to USB connection for the WiiU, but I've bought 3 of them already so far and all 3 don't work. And I can't find the official one in any game store I went too in the center of Toronto Canada. Now that's a load of BS. Because I literally cannot play online games for the WiiU. :(


And you can bet too many people on PS3 connect via WiFi and only contribute to more laggy games instead VS mostly everyone hardwired on X-Box for less laggy matches. So in this aspect the X-Box 360 did it best too. And how it should be.

You have no way of knowing that ps3 owners "lag" due to using Wi-Fi while Xbox 360 did it "as it should be" with a wired connection. I have a ps3/ps4 and only ran hardwired connection as did everyone else I know who has one.

Most people have garbage Wi-Fi modems. And I don't know how good the Wi-Fi in PS3 is even to begin with (I heard someone mention the WiiU one is terrible. And sounds about right to me). So it can be said it's a contributing factor on PS3 lag.

Also often times whenever someone on the ME3mp forums mentions connection issues, they are almost always using Wi-Fi and with the first forum reply being "Are you playing off Wi-Fi? If yes; don't."

And wired connection for online gaming is how it should be since the technology for better Wi-Fi is not what most have (even thought it's there). And there's enough people with internet connection from mars. No need to make it further worse with Wi-Fi on top it;

And great that you and everyone you know use hardwired internet connection for PS3. It's as it should be if you like to play online gaming. ... Probably better for your health too. All these signal we're surrounded by with these days can't be good for us.

Yet I'm the only one that seems to add anything topic with plenty on information worth knowing for those who don't have both X-Box 360 & PS3 (or those who do and still don't know enough). Meanwhile you're the one who's actually acting like a kid with replies like that.

Look, I don't care what anyone wants to post (why I never rat anyone out on forums, and prefer anyone talk whatever they want). But all you guys just crying while adding nothing is what juvenile is. Sorry.

The only one here "crying while adding nothing" is you. Just go back and read your own posts.

Lol. You're adorable.

And why would I want to do something like that? You're too entertaining to read.

Please, do go on.

So going on; apparently I really upset some WiiU/PS3 fanboys in this thread.

*applause neon sign on*

K, I now need to play some ME3mp (on X-Box). Will be just a bit before I can entertain further.

Lol. That's the spirit.

Get a job!

But other than that... it's just not your cup of tea, no problems there. It's worth giving a shot, but if you just can't enjoy it, then that's just how it is.

I dont know if its because I played the PC version and maybe the controls were terrible, but someone told me it's a third person shooter and... it's not.

Maybe now I could enjoy it more but everything about it just makes me not want to bother, especially knowing now that in ME3 the entire story and single player campaign basically just dives off a cliff anyway.
