So basically every shooter that comes out is a ripoff of goldenye 64?
Every shooter that does not bother to differentiate itself from Goldeneye. But I didn't play Goldeneye.
If game B basically makes me do the same thing as game A did, I call that a rippoff. "same" doesn't mean the genre, it means the game flow and gameplay. I found that JRPG's are extremely similar between themselves. Why call them that way? Call them RPG's just like everything else.
Most shooters are rippoffs of DooM, in fact. Probably not Goldeneye (stealth elements). Not heXen (fantasy + puzzle + RPG elements). Not a bunch of other games. But most are.
Lydeck did a good job explaining why I didn't like Resistance, although I could pick it apart with greater detail (my dad actually finished the whole game, lol).

your right, tales of vesperia is NOT that game. That is tales of symphonia (the first one was amazing) Dawn of the new world, which is on wii. Vesperia is probablly the best rpg out this gen.
Well, if that's symphonia, it's probably really similar to Vesperia, since most of the images seem to be the same style: http://faytforever.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/945075_20080625_screen007.jpg
Is this it?
I'm going to be honest here: I do not intend to play anything that insists on looking like a cartoon with dark edges...

How the heck is Star ocean a FF ripoff? the battle system isnt even similar...do you know anything about this game?
"similar" is subjective. Divided limited combat is what I call the FF system. For me, that is easily the whole entire JRPG genre. Why do you think it's called JRPG? Not because it's Asian, because it's all the same with minor tweaks here and there. Just because they add in range and make it "real time" doesn't really change it. It's like saying NWN is real time. Yeah, it sort of is. But it really isn't. I think FF11 or 12 was pseudo real time, too, forgot which...

I mentioned uncharted 1 and 2 (upcoming) before, just not in that small list i just made replying to you.
Yeah, which makes you think you don't consider it much of a great game? I didn't play it yet, but it looks like something I'll like a lot.
lol you picked the worst game mentioned! How do you not consider God of War 3, Halo 3, resistance, heavy rain, tales of vesperia, lost odyssey, star ocean IV, FFXIII versus, killzone 2, Gears of War 2, and many others to be more than decent games?
PC is my favorite system, but the fact of the matter is there are games on the consoles that i love (RE5 and more), so i need to be part of that
oh and btw, one of the reasons this generation seems kind of bland is because nintendo usually bring the best games and they are lacking this gen with the wii IMO. I hate the direction they are going and i did sell my wii for a 360, but that being said i will probablly buy a wii again because i cant stay away from zelda, metroid, mario and other games for too long lol. I miss them :'(.
I picked one of them... *shruggs*
GoW 3-2? Didn't you just compare them to Resistance?
Halo 3? I keep hearing it's much worse than 1 and 2.
Resistance is the most horrible relatively popular FPS I have ever played, including DooM, and I hate DooM. I don't understand how this excuse for a video game ever got anywhere. I guess that's saying something about the deterioration of intelligence in the population.
Heavy Rain is interesting, but it's not out yet.
Tales of Vesperia? Please don't tell me you mean this game: http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Games/T/Tales%20of%20Symphonia%20-%20Dawn%20of%20the%20New%20World/Bulk%20Viewer/Wii/2008-04-16/screenshot_172--article_image.jpg
I dunno about Lost Odyssey, the fact that it's Asian annoys me a bit.
Star Ocean IV? FF ripoff # 342325?
FF13Versus: yes, I'd rather play this than Vesperia, Star Ocean, and the rest of its clones.
Don't know much about Killzone, it's our next candidate. Although, after Resistance, we're a bit wary of popular FPS titles. They're going down the drain with alarming speed.
What's funny is that you didn't mention one game that I actually consider worthwhile. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. We must have drastically contrasting tastes.
I don't think there are many decent exclusives on either side. Most games mentioned here are what I consider not even worth my attention. I mean, Blue Dragon? Seriously? LOL
Resistance sucks. FarCry 2 was much better. I have a PS3 but we can't buy games anymore since we're on a tight budget. My dad is playing FC2 for like 5 months now...
I honestly think the BlueRay is not worth it. Yeah, good quality, but you have to buy that stuff...
