Cerveza mas fina · « **on:** August 20, 2013, 04:57:56 PM »

Or is everyone gaming on PC then picking one up in one or two years?

So far next gen really looks weak exclusive wise, basically no reason to get any of them.

I haven't cancelled my PS4 preorder yet

Why isn't this a poll

Tough being a PS4 fan, isn't it?

mjemirzian · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:13:30 PM »

Still hanging on to my PS4 pre-order and undecided.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #4 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:19:06 PM »

I have about 8 long boxes of comics left in storage. I've sold all my Golden/Silver Age comics off over the years, so this is all more recent (90s through 2004, when I quit collecting) stuff I didn't really think was worth the hassle of piecing off. The other day when I told a collector friend of mine some of the titles I had, he said I could get a decent bit of money putting together bundles on ebay, and offered to sell them for me if I gave him a cut. So if that stuff pays for a PS4 and a game or two, I'll get one. I definitely can't afford (and wouldn't pay for even if I could) either system out of pocket.

I tend to treat my hobbies like this:

If some money unexpectedly falls into my hands, yes. If not, and this is more likely, then no.

Jesus, should have never turned off spell check. Shouldn't have turned it on to begin with. Fuck me...

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:27:45 PM »

Of course. I don't get all the apathy to consoles. There's plenty of good looking stuff coming. The launch is pretty solid on both with xbone being a bit better.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:28:44 PM »

Oh, I also have a monitor and a PSP Go + memory card I can sell and put towards it. So yeah, looks like I might.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:30:29 PM »

I understand consoles as, like, a secondary option. But anyone who will be console only at this point is either demi and/or a fucktard.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:37:48 PM »

I'm just covering my ass on the off chance Rockstar doesn't port Red Dead Redux to PC. Plus, I like inFamous and some of the Uncharted stuff.

huckleberry · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:41:58 PM »

I'm definitely still getting a PS4 at launch. I know it won't have shit out for it for a while but when the hell has a console ever had anything worthwhile at launch.

cool breeze · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:44:10 PM »

Going back and forth on it. I want a PS4 for Infamous in early 2014. If I get it a few months early, I can mess with PS Plus games and it'll be my new blu-ray player. But I don't want or need it this year.

But both these systems have plenty at launch.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2013, 05:49:36 PM »

Im thinking of some new pc stuff, but honestly I dont think I even need it yet. Titanfall is source engine and so far thats the only must have. If my laptop can run bf3 then it can run that too!

No clue why Destiny isnt on PC but whatevs.

I mean the system sellers that so many people seem to think will be there.

Both have plenty of games - games that I have to get on PS4 and not on pc due to not wanting to double dip because my of my son and daughter.

I never planned on getting a PS4 this year. Probably sometime in mid-2014 when there is a game out that I want. I didn't get a PS3 until Feb 2007 when Gundam Musou was announced.

Fair. The new Infamous game does look really cool, absurdpresentation.gif aside. I'm just to the point where I don't think I'll get enough benefit from a new console so early in it's lifespan to adopt in the first couple of years.

What justifies a console for me is games like:

Bayonetta
Vanquish
JRPGs

I've got a gigantic backlog with the current gen as it is. I'm resigning myself to not buying a new system until I've worked my way through the majority of my backlog.

tiesto · « **Reply #35 on:** August 20, 2013, 08:50:51 PM »

Nope, no real interest with any of the announced launch games. Got enough of a backlog from this gen to deal with before I start worrying about next gen... plus I really need a new car and my old employer is trying to fuck me out of some money (long story) so money is tight. And time is too, my new job is gonna apparently go in crunch mode come the holiday season to get their product out on the marketplace.

Not till my weeaboo final fantasy games are on there. And if by the grace of some magic it ends up on the PC, then I won't be getting a new console for awhile. I just got the PS3 like, two years ago. I'm not done with it yet.

Yeah, it all hinges on those comics and stuff paying for it. If I have to lay out any cash, it can wait. I'm probably gonna be in the third or so wave of orders, anyway.
