Title: What online console games do you play?
Post by: dshwshr55 on February 22, 2009, 08:31:03 am
Everyone and their hair stylist plays MMORPGs. I'm wondering if anyone plays any online games on their current gen systems (PS3, Xbox360, Wii, or computer even) that are not MMORPGs.
I'm a sleeper, myself (Burnout Paradise, Wipeout HD), but I like fighting games (I don't have SFVI?!?! TT_TT), and the Unreal series. A good online challenge of chess really makes me go teary-eyed of happiness, too.

I think it'd be better if you just didn't count MMO's, Rpgs are just fine if someone plays them on-line. I would play Guitar Hero and Rock Band on-line but I refuse to pay for X-box Live, wish I would have gotten a PS3

I like to play cribbage on yahoo games sometimes.  Unreal Tournament rocks as does Starcraft.

That is basically what I meant, I couldn't think of any RPGs that weren't MMOs at the time. I'll change that..

Mostly just action RPGs are the ones that get played on-line, like diablo 2, even though that's for PC. Why only consoles?

I've never played online on a console, unless you count PSP.  I've played a few games via Ah-Hoc on the PSP, particularly the Monster Hunter series. :P

Well, I did mention computers, too. But lots of people have these new systems, and one of the defining things about all of them is the online capability. It's new, available for a lot of people, offers a good variety of games of different genres, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of it for the first time globally.
It's just fun to get OFF the computer and play online with a good ol' familiar controller in your hands ^^
(computers have controllers, too blah blah blahblah...)

Attack 3 all the way!  $20 less for 10 more buttons than an XBox 360 or PS3 controller. :D

I refuse to pay for X-box live so I don't play consoles on-line. (don't have Wii or PS3)

PC though, well I just play Diablo 2 on-line on PC. When I get a new PC I will play L4D because I've played it on the 360 and it'd just be so much better on a PC.

I have last gen consoles but my ps2 is hooked up to the interwebz I play DDR and a few others online. [is too lazy to get up and look at each of the ps2 games and see which ones are interwebs compattable]

I can't imagine playing ANY 1st person shooters on a console. It's so much easier to set a mouse to the highest sensitivity, perfect for strafing and turning around instantly instead of holding right or left and waiting.
And clicking on a target is way more exact with a pointer...

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one.  FPS is sooo very much easier on the PC.  For online console gaming I don't do much yet, but will when my DS gets here.

Rail Shooters are kinda fun on the Wii, The only one I played was Resident Evil Chronicles though.

I forgot to mention that I sometimes play Flyff on-line, free MMO's yo.
