Hmmm - COD4 or Orange Box for PS3?

[aphex]

Debating which to buy first... Which do you think?

 

[Childs]

Everyone seems to be playing COD4 these days.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

orangebox no doubt

 

[blurredvision]

I think if you want about 30 hours of single player greatness, get Orange Box. If you want untold amount of hours playing online with an awesome 6-hour single player experience, go with CoD4.

Overall, you really can't go wrong with either.

Did this promised patch ever come for PS3 "The Orange Box" issues?

 

[R Nilla]

Pretty much what blurred said:

for single player: Orange Box,
for multiplayer: COD4.

Both are great games and worth owning.

wtf...what about tf2 for mp???

Having just played through Call Of Duty 4. I have to say i was unimpressed.. An average short single player game with average graphics.. Nothing special i'm not sure what all the hype is about!

If you want my educated advice.. Wait for Battlefield: Bad Company.

Edit: Maybe i'm being too hard on it, i did start to get into it more after a few hours of play, but thats kinda when it ended! Lol. Just nothing too original i don't think, the ability to play different characters was nice i must admit.

Average graphics? Excuse me?

Yea they were ok, but they didn't stand out to me, there were a few nice touches, but looked a bit like a slightly refreshed and polished Half-Life to me.

Maybe they come alive in HD or something i dunno.

Great game, but still has some connection issues last I checked. Plus everybody's playing CoD4 so there's not going to be a whole lot of options online.

If you're playing your PS3 or 360 on a SD television then you are definitely missing out.

Edit: This holds true for all PS3/360 games.

I have also finished COD4 on the Playstation 3. And it was in 1080p on a 40' Samsung.

And quite honestly, I would have to agree, the graphics didn't impress me at all either.

I think Uncharted is a lot better.

Yea i really get the feeling i'm missing out by not having HD, but i can't justify the cost just to play games for a few hours a week, if that..

I didn't think so either until I got a 26 incher from Costco for $400.

It was in my opinion. Considering a 27" SDTV will cost you $300. I don't sit very far away from it, so the size is more than adequate. I also use it with an HTPC, and the VGA input is nice. And it has a QAM tuner - with CABLE TV that'll get you the networks in HD for free, no cable box needed. I definitely don't regret it. I don't know that I'd recommend a 26" if you're sitting ~8 feet away from your TV though.

I got a kinda hot deal a while back for a 37 inch HDTV for like $550 before shipping or something like that.

The current gen, even the Wii, look much, much better on HD. I didn't think the different was going to be that big, but I could never go back now.

However I do agree that HDTVs are expensive. Hell, you could buy a whole new console for cheaper.

FYI - Four blasted minutes after I originally posted the above, Kotaku posted this news story about the PS3 version getting a patch tonight. Go figure.

I have a 42", and I sit about 5 ft away from it when gaming.

Well that seems excessive. :Q I sit about 4' from my 26". I'd be fine with a few more feet.
