So, should I get DW: Gundam for my 360 or PS3?

 

I've played both demos. There's not much of any difference beyond the 360 version feeling easier and having a vibrating controller and non-issues like achievements.

 

I like the PS3 controller better.

 

I have more faith that downloadable content will become available on XBox Live. (The PS store is anything but regularly updated.)

How did I guess you would open a discussion about this? :D

 

I vote for PS3, and only because it doesn't have a whole out there worth playing. Might as well use it for something.

4 votes and a 2/2 split. That really helped me out. :D

 

I decided to order the 360 version for no particular reason other than it coming before the PS3 version in an online store search.

Ran across a poll the other day that may explain the lack of response, check it out here.

 

Just doesn't look like there are that many people that own both consoles yet.

My copy of this arrived the other day and I've spent the last two evenings hacking Zakus and GMs to tiny bits.

 

The camera is just as fucked as in the demo with no way to fix it. Pushing left moves the camera right. Pushing right moves the camera left. You can opt to "Invert" the camera controls, but this only affects the veritcal controls, not the horizonal ones.

 

The bosses are adjusted for difficulty against higher level characters/mechs. There are some you can whale away on for 10 minutes solid and not do even 10% of their lifebar. Meanwhile, they can hit you twice and knock you down to half or less life.

 

Bosses also move extremely fast, and the awkward camera doesn't help either. There is an occasional help pointer which shows the direction the nearest boss in in, but the problem is that it's "occasional". It doesn't always appear. So, I find myself often trying to figure out where the boss went, accidentally turning my camera the opposite direction of what I want, only to be hit by a combo which depletes my lifebar and then paralyzes me for another punishment.

 

Yes, the enemy combos paralyze you. I don't know the criteria for this, but it happens just about every time the bosses score a hit. It's also impossible to block when just standing up after being knocked down. Any hit by a boss usually means a LONG string of punishment.

 

The game is also very stingy with health powerups. The frequency of health drops on Easy is about the same as the frequency of health drops in the other Dynasty Warriors games on Hard.
