Re: My PS3
 

I will vouch for big PS3 load times, specially since i switched from a 360 to a PS3, the load times in comparison (even with the game NOT installed on 360 and installed on PS3) are really big, for example on GTA 4, as it starts loading with the art slideshow, i saw some i had never seen before on 360, it even loops back to the first one.

And ill add this just to vent, why is it that they can make games look shit awesome like MGS 4, but every other multi console game looks like crap on ps3?

Re: My PS3
 

Probably something in the way they code the game or something. Just because the game needs to do the same thing on different consoles doesn't mean the engine or the coding and scripting isn't any different.

But that's mostly because devs are lazy.

Re: My PS3
 

I may be the master of complaints but yeah switching from PS3 to 360 seems the load times take forever.

Of course I don't have 2 of the same games for both systems to compare, but I expect that to change in July as I get blazblue:continuum shift for both systems.

Re: My PS3
 

I know absolutley nothing about Blazblue (and am too lazy to look it up), so forgive me if this is an incredibly ignorant answer with a simple easy answer.

Why would you buy the same game for two different consoles? Is there some bonus to having two copies? Is it to compare? Do you just really like it (or expect to like it, I guess) and want it to be successful?

Re: My PS3
 

2D or 3D fighters are always better with the PS3 D-pad I find, unless he's using an arcade pad to play that.

I mean the 360 D-pad is shitty. Really shitty.

Re: My PS3
 

Haha. I have custom arcade sticks for both my 360(the street fighter 4 fightstick with modified buttons and stick) and PS3(My PS2 custom stick built from the scraps of high grade finished and polished cherry wood which I got for free and using a usb adaptor to use it with PS3).

I will be getting both because I'm heavy into the competitive scene and I have people on both networks who I will want to play blazblue with. The updated version is much better in terms of balance and All that, and definitely very interested in playing it with everyone I know. That's what will warrant the 2 games.

Re: My PS3
 

btw moogle, I was meaning to ask, since I havent had a chance to play SSF4 myself, how are you liking it so far compared to the regular version? is Sagat still god tier? heard Ryu's SRK has crappier properties now, aaand what are your thoughts on guy and ibuki :P

Re: My PS3
 

Sagat got nerfed, gief got nerfed, ken got buffed, ryu got nerfed.

Basically a general overall balance. Ibuki is very good now. Don't know if you played 3rd Strike but she has all her reset and mixup shenanigans, a few more target combos, SF4 style links that go into target combos, and her super jump cancel from her target combo of standing lp,mp, crouching hk, standing hk is a whole lot easier. This is also the same SJC cancel you need to tk her qcf hk special which is the move that you did in 3s to get the run under after the launch from the standing hk at the end of her target combo. In other words she is buff as hell now because she does a ton of damage and is fast. However she's still squishy.

Guy is pretty mid tier. A lot of characters flat out beat all of his pokes in every way. His mixup isn't very good outside of the corner. All of his combos are still situational. The most upsetting thing is the way SF4 juggles work took away a lot of his alpha 3 combos. Like final fight combo, link standing lp qcb hk. Which was the way he could combo into qcb hk anywhere on the screen in Alpha 3, but they took that away since in Alpha 3 an air hit was a guaranteed combo. Overall he's pretty hard to play compared to other characters, and he's not the same goodness that was alpha 3 (He was top tier in that game because of his amazing normals and high damage output.)
