We have an XBox thread so how 'bout PS3

[nfpgasmask]

I bought Army of Two instead

Ohhhh, I made that EXACT same mistake. That game SUCKED! I hope you like it though.

fighting games feel like 1-dimensional episodes of chaotic button mashing to me, I guess.

Well, that's where Tekken is different. Street Fighter and Mortal Combat always were 1-dimensional. But Tekken is an EXTREMELY complex fighting game. True, there are some who can do ok at first with button mashing, but that only gets you so far once you play someone who knows what they are doing.

Tekken 6 has taking things to a whole different level with online play.

Uh oh. It was a "Greatest Hits" release so I had high hopes. I guess time will tell - another friend of mine rented it before and really liked it. Luckily it was only $20. I'll rent Tekken to check it out; maybe it will make me a convert...

Has anyone else played "Fuel"? I like that one, post apocalypse car racing and bashing! YAY!

It was started before: Whats your PS3 screen name?

Mine is AngelK7

I missed that one...
But I know some of those names have changed...Victor (VCamilo) is now (PR)Slow4x4

Only games I have really gotten into have all been combat games. On my PC I used to play the Delta Force series of games and now on the PS Modern Warfare.

I see a trend billy...

I'm not a console guy as I agree I don't know how people enjoy controlling FPS with their thumbs - my reaction times are just not that good. Case in point, Metal Gear Solid 4, picked it up as everyone raved about it - it was cool, but I got so frustrated with the crappy close up third person view and getting my arse kicked in tight corners I pulled the CD out broke it in half and threw it out the door as I'm not that much of a masochist. (my wife laughed her face off). However, I thoroughly enjoyed Resistance 2 - more than MW2.

I mostly bought it for the bluray and the media centre. I just love watching movie downloads and all my TV episode series from my computer through the PS3. That rocks.

Anyone think it's a way to do some free/cheap long distance talking over the game chat? Don't have the gear yet...

OOH, Tekken 6 was waiting for me under the Christmas tree! 'twas getting bored with T5, was so happy to get it and have been playing it all week! Still haven't gotten around of going online though.

It's just not my type of game. That game really epitomizes what I don't like about 99% of the console games out there. Horrid 3rd person views mixed with trying to aim and shoot with an analog stick is not for me. Like Kenny said below, the frustration is just too much for me. The game looks good, but it's just not my cup of tea.

Console games should be like Metroid and Mario and Galaga and Castlevania. Basically, I'm just old school. I love me a good platform game. But 3D belongs on the PC. The only new console games I can get into are racing games and fighting games like Tekken. OK, enough of that.

Get ready to get your @ss kicked. There are some people online who have the game mechanics damn near programmed into their hands. It would take some SERIOUS nerding out on my part to get even half as good. It's fun to try anyhow!

I've fought a few people online who were using the Blue Tooth headset. So far, all but one of them sounded like crap and I couldn't understand what they were saying. Depending on how much time I dedicate to Tekken 6, I might just have to get some head gear.

Bart

[AlaskaVX]

I don't have one, but all my friends do. I have been playing a bit of MW2.... 32-2-3 is my best record, but most the time I am about even kills/deaths.

Personally, I hate Tekken, its the same game from PS1 IMO and I am very tired of it. The game I play ALL the time is Madden 10! I am the best EVAAAAAA! No one will finish a game with me online so I mainly beat up on my friends in our Fantasy Draft Franchise.

Fundamentally yes, it is the "same". But the move list of Tekken 1 vs. Tekken 6, come on! The graphics are WAY better also. I just like fighting games, and Tekken is the best.

On the flipside, I hate sports games.

Dang I missed this thread for a couple of days. I just thought to myself I wish there was more talk about Tekken and not MW2. Sure enough I get on here and see some fans. I just got my PS3 Monday and the very first and only game I got was Tekken. Tekken is so so much more advanced than regular fighting games. I traded in and I hate to say it....Tekken Tag for PS2 for the cash to get this one. But I love it. Great graphics and serious combos.

Now who is your favorite character? Mine: Eddy G. Been a fan of capoeira for years now and even took some lessons back in early college.

Ohhhhh NOOOOOO! Eddy and Christie are the WORST, CHEAPEST, BS characters in the game!! The only character that even comes close the EXTREME cheapness of Cheddy is Law!!!

Come on J, fight with a REAL character that takes some skill to master!! I simply CANNOT respect a Cheddy player...

I use Ling, Ganryu and Kuma the most. I'm also trying to learn Zafina and I would like to eventually pick up another character or two.

Bart

[JHarris1385]

Ill have to try them...but its my love of the capoeira that makes me use him. When I learned there was going to be a character that fights this style is when I really started to love Tekken. I think yeah he has easy combos but those same combos really leave him open to attacks so you have to know when to use each. Try using him against someone good and they will tear you up.

Yeah, it's just that Cheddy and Law are both simple, cheap characters with out-of-the-box combos that you can win with just by mashing buttons. That's the reason I hate those characters, but I am getting better at defending against their cheapness.

Alisa has a few simple moves that are cheap as hell also.

Bart

[JHarris1385]

I have to defend him. Its easy to win a fight when the oppenent is not good but VERY hard to win a fight the better the oppenent is. There is alot of lag inbetween his moves and once again alot of his moves leave him VERY open.

Did you mean King? I just played with those characters for a brief moment and they are deff not my cup of tea! I like the smaller more martial arts based...more realistic moves.

Kazuya, Hwoarange are my other two.

Just found out that there are plans for a TEKKEN movie out next year.
