Title: Sooooo......
Post by: Human Snorenado on June 07, 2013, 03:27:56 PM
When it turns out that most of the big publishers will have a similar DRM scheme on the PS4, all of you guys who are being all holier than thou and saying you're gonna get a PS4 over the Xboner based on just that alone... you're all gonna build good gaming PCs, right?  RIGHT?

:smug

This is mostly a "just in case I'm right, so I can point and laugh at all of you guys" thread. 

Also, please don't suggest buying a Wii U, people.  Necrophilia is not cool.

But build a good PC and get a 3DS first. :rejoice

Most of the big pubs (Activision, EA, Ubi) will have this on ps4.

But who here buys games from these companies often? Maybe, at best, once a year?

More than, Sony's system isn't online only. So about half the problems of the One aren't a problem out the gate.

But yes, I'm building a new pc. Got my 3ds. Just waiting for ps4 news.

Lets see what high fidelity pc games *coughportscough* occur in an ecosystem where the consoles falter.

Once upon a time I would say go ios, but you can barely download anything without researching its iap in depth beforehand.

Everyone's screwed except for japanese folks with japanese 3ds systems, which is starting to look like the last bastion of the traditional model.

I just think the outrage over all of this crap is misplaced for the most part. 

You're not going to catch me defending any of this shit- because it's shit and it's stupid. 

But blaming MS solely when it's pretty obvious that the big publishers are driving this is distinguished mentally-challenged. 

Not as distinguished mentally-challenged as buying a Wii U, but pretty butt-fuckingly distinguished mentally-challenged.

There you go again, attributing something to me that I never asked for. ::)

Unlike some of my podcast contemporaries who demand the latest technology NOW, I'm more than fine stagnating.  I have a shit ton of games in my Steam library that I have never even downloaded, much less bothered to play.  That, the inxile stuff, and probably Hex will keep me occupied for forever I'm guessing. 

Seriously though, build a gaming pc kids.  We have cookies, and it will make ninthings cry that you chose that over the Wii U. 

Oh yeah, there's games on the pc as opposed to the Wii U, too.  :smug

That's a pretty dumb point to make given that MS built the infastructure around the system to benefit the pubs, but okay. Publishers are going to do the same thing they did this gen, and that was easily avoidable so long as you had good taste in games and (mostly) avoided online passes. I've entered maybe 2-4 online passes this entire gen because of my superior taste, so I'm not really worried about pubs.

We know a pretty good amount. Enough to be a pretty appealing system. The specs are good. Their vision for how the CLOUD can be used for games (instant game access and trials) is really cool and those systems EXIST right now and not in some magical fairy-land cloud that MS seems to be touting. The support for indie developers and the number of F2P games being announced for the PS4 are really promising.

In the short period of time, Sony has managed to fix a lot of the problems. I know they could ruin all of it, but right now it's looking good.

It's not that hard to build a PC.  If my dumb ass can do it, then anyone can.  Just think of it as really expensive LEGOs.  Be sure to spend a few weeks researching parts, watching construction videos and don't be afraid to ask for help on forums.

I'll end up building a new PC this month for reasons unrelated to the upcoming console rapture.  My current PC is cobbled together from older PCs dating back to 2007.  Everything new this time! (except the 560ti)

My main problems are choosing a hard drive and operating system.  I already have an SSD for the OS, but finding a standard secondary hard drive that isn't total crap is proving difficult.  As for OS, either I continue with Windows 7 or upgrade to Windows 8 for ~$70; half the people I asked said stick with 7, the other half said switch to 8 only if it's free/cheap.

You understand this is going to absolutely destroy the Japanese market, and pretty much kill what little niche stuff is able to currently eke out an  existence overseas, right?  If this used game DRM flies, the future of Japanese gaming is on 3DS and smart phones.  That sound good to you?
I'm not sure where this idea that I'm a weeboo comes from. I mean I'm playing and heavily enjoying Metro Last Light right now, possibly the most un-Japanese thing ever.

Do I understand? No, not really. Do I care? Eh. What interesting stuff has Japan been doing on consoles that you can't live without? Eh I can't even think of those games right now, and regardless the big stuff is still going to come on consoles regardless of what happens. Metal Gear, FF, Tekken, Resident Evil, ect ect. The brand names that have pretty much degraded in quality as it is, will still continue on consoles. I guess we will lose stuff like Atlus' games, but hell Atlus has been absent this gen pretty much anyway, so is it a big loss? No not really.

So if the solution to wanting to play Japanese games is to buy some Nintendo handheld, then I guess I say goodbye to Japanese games. Or do I even care to because they've been pretty meh this gen anyway.

Outside of Platinum of course. Which I guess you gotta buy a Wii U for.

I mean really, hasn't the niche Japanese stuff already dried up on consoles already? Pretty much halfway through this gen it kind of went away. Sure you got Grasshopper chugging a long, if they've been able to survive this long, don't know why next gen would stop them. Don't they already have a next gen game? You've had Capcom blow it's load on strange stuff like Asura's Wrath, but hey if Remember Me is any indication they will continue to do projects like that to my benefit. I don't see From moving Dark Souls to handheld. I mean what Niche stuff are we getting on current gen consoles anyway? Gust, Nis stuff, ect? I'm not fond of that stuff anyway, but are they going to stop being on consoles? Did'nt the Niche stuff already move to handhelds? I mean would DRM less consoles really change that?

What is your point? If all those games move to handhelds, then I guess it's gone for them. What am I supposed to do here, not play console games? Unlike the rest of you too cool for school gamers here, I don't exactly hate western Hollywood gaming and if that's all that's able to survive on the next gen for whatever reason, then so be it. It sucks, but it's no reason to stop playing other games.

And you did'nt explain anything. Why is ddrm and whatnot going to effect any of those Japanese games? Why would it effect niche games coming here? I mean you said it yourself, FF will still continue as a console jrpg, it just might be the only console jrpg. And even without these ddrm systems, it's questionable if stuff like Yakuza 5 will come out here. So what's going to be that different than now? I can't even think of a niche Japanese game I bought this year. I guess Ni No Kuni, well I mean the 2nd half of this gen was pretty bad with jrpgs as it is, so to hell with it.

As it is, the niche games are already on handhelds. SMTIV the big one is on there and well I already know I'm not going to play it and well that sucks, but eh. Not like I don't have other quality games to play, they just happen not to be Japanese.
