Pretty sad state of affairs that I've not bought a new console this generation and I don't feel like I've missed out on anything and can't see anything worth it coming up. All the first party stuff is just generic trash or remakes.
You're not interested in a single fall release? Or early next year? Witcher III, Arkham Knight or Dying Light? Bloodborne or The Order?

Nope. Could get Witcher on PC anyway if I was desperate

Bloodborne is the only thing that would make me buy another console right now.

I was about to say. Bloodborne might actually stay console exclusive.

Buying one of these new consoles is out of the question until Bloodborne is out, and the quality of that is even still shrouded in mystery.  And will continue so even after release for obvious reasons.

My most played "PS4 games" so far at my parent's are Towerfall and Transistor. :heh

There was a time when I was really excited for Destiny but I decided to wait that one out too.

I sold a Nook tablet and a bunch of worthless shit on ebay to get my PS4, so I don't regret it, but if I'd had to lay out actual dollars I'd probably be wishing I held off. Still, it's nice to have the option of trading in games. I'm never buying a $60 release day PC game again, no matter what. There are a few of those in my Steam library, and whenever I load it up my eyes are drawn to them like they're dead pixels on the screen. Then I make this face:

I was down to like...Splatterhouse and Enslaved :heh

Splatterhouse tho, same people who made Afro Samurai and Mark of Kri.  Had fun with all those games.  Mark of Kri I feel like was the progenitor of Batman's fighting system. 

Enslaved was weak, but had a great / bugged-out ending. 



That thread could have been fairly interesting if Modbot didn't lock it and people actually discussed it in a serious way.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, I wanted to ask a serious question, someone obviously caught feelings.

if you have a decent PC, buying a console is like subscribing to a particularly trashy cable channel that brings out a new big budget mini series once every six months that you can only watch on the crappiest TV in your house.

I haven't owned a console in years, but I still feel there will always be a place for one for: the 16-24 year old dude that likes to get high with his friends and play multiplayer games all night or the loner guy who has hours of free time he needs to fill with entertainment.

I don't think the PC or mobile/handheld will ever quite satisfy that substantial userbase.

I bought a PS4, and I wouldn't recommend most people do the same since there is not a single exclusive game that would justify the purpose, but I don't have a PC or any other consoles so it satisfies my limited need for videogames. iOS could probably be enough if it wasn't for my occasional desire to play something flashy that lets me shoot things in the face and/or explode shit.

the green eyes thing was just the straw that broke the camel's back.  he was annoying the shit out of everyone and not really adding anything of value to conversations, so when he went nuts about sonic's green eyes being the portent of disaster for sonic 4, it was used as an excuse to show him to the door

spoiler (click to show/hide)
he actually turned out to be right, though
[close]

Actually, it was because a bunch of people were joking about Sonic's eye color in Sonic 4 and saying "it's totally not green, HYPE" and the joke went right over Huelen's head who proceeded to explain with the help of Photoshop how Sonic's eyes were definitely green. I was never really sure that warranted a permaban, but as you said he had been getting on some people's nerves.

Is that userbase substantial enough to support the market, though?  By the looks of all the jobs and red ink spilling, I don't think it is.

It just depends on what the expectations of 'the market' is. I think some people still expect 2004-2008 to happen again, but that could be the peak that is never seen again. Similar to what happened with the PC in the late 90's.

I think all three companies can still survive by selling between 30-50 million units per generation. They just have to keep building up their service infrastructure and using their box as a means to access it. So, you're not buying a Playstation .. you're buying the Playstation service (with a huge community attached to it). Judging by how the consoles are trending, they seem to 'get it'.

Or, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe they can release some goddamn motherfucking games on their squiddylicking year old paperweights?

We can only hope he doesn't find this place.

Easier said than done when those games are expensive to make, will sell to less people than ps360 or mobile, etc.

Every new generation this argument pops up whenever one of the consoles is deemed to have less games than the other. Last gen it was PS3 had no games, before that Xbox OG, etc. Then, an exclusive hits the ground and moves units, and eventually the old consoles stop seeing releases. This generation is only different because the supposed killer exclusives sort of hit the ground with a whimper. Titanfall didn't do what it was supposed to, Mario World/Kart gave slight boosts to the U but not enough, and the PS4 is winning basically by default by simply not being the dumbest kid in the special ed class that is this generation to date.

Every single studio seems to have gotten their dev kits way late, because this gen really isn't going to bear fruit until 2015, if E3 and the utterly shit 2014 release docket is anything to go by.

The difference is, neither system has games worth playing in the works that are exclusive, new, or original aside from...Quantum Break? DriveClub? Uhhhh, I guess? In the past, there was FAR more variety to play. By January 2002, ps2 had stuff like Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2, SSX, Smuggler's Run, SSX Tricky, Klonoa 2, Dark Cloud, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, ICO, and a lot, LOT more. Gamecube and Xbox were no slouches either, and for ps2, this was ALL before its second anniversary.

By this point in the game last generation, 360 had Dead Rising, Saints Row, PGR3, Oblivion, GRAW, Mass Effect, Crackdown, Gears of War and lots I'm forgetting out, announced, or on the way. This years E3 was the chance for both consoles to show they have something, ANYTHING, beyond the same crap we've been playing for 8 years. They didn't have anything.

I expect similar results at 2015's E3 and by that point, they'll have been out for a year and a half, which was the point when stuff like Devil May Cry, Klonoa 2, MGS2, SSX Tricky, and ICO came out for ps2.

That's pathetic, and given how long it takes for these games to actually come out in between being announced and development time, I can bet console gamers are going to be waiting a lonnnnng time for some worthwhile original titles.

Yes. That is what I am saying. Right now the hottest game on the PS4 is a rerelease of a game just over a year old. Shit is downright pathetic.

On another note, the 90s are coming back this fall. Counting Crows and Train are releasing new records! Who's excited? This mid 30s white dude, that's who!

I'm a PC RPG player first and foremost. I only want consoles around because without them gaming as a whole would suck so much worse because they'd all be indie quality at best, shareware quality at their worst. There is time for the ship to turn around, but right now that iceberg is looking miiiiighty big. You just can't sit on your ass this long and expect everything to be okay. And then to regurgitate Assassin's Creed and hi-def rereleases as something to buy consoles over is crazy.

And the 2014 release schedule is just one giant fuck you to early and 2nd/3rd wave adopters.

i7 (or whatever next-gen stuff I guess. 8-core?) Intel
8 (though probably 16-32?) gig RAM

GPU being 800 or a 770-780 GTX Nvidia in a couple of months depending on how high/low you want to go.

Boom. Able to play last gen and some "next gen"/current gen titles. Though as the years get on it'll remain to be seen how high the specs for "current gen" will get.

Same. That stupid Avengers movies was kinda fun and I might see Guardians, but overall it's a lot of commotion over some pretty mediocre movies. Then again I don't really understand the appeal of superhero comics to non-children in the first place.

I'm fine with that. Or maybe I enjoy Marvels films and don't get angry about them.

Y U SO MAD THO?

There's crap out there like "Lucy" to watch if you want to avoid Marvels films. Or even "OSCAR WORTHY(R)" films like... 12 years a slave or something later on in the year. Marvel films aren't drowning anything but "nerd discussion" at the moment and that's mostly because they just launched a film this past week. *shrug*

That is weird though. I still have dreams of all my teeth falling out. Maybe his are really traumatic. Or maybe he's just kind of nuts.

Teeth falling out is is a common theme in dreams. I've read that it is connected with fear of impotence, although that might be bullshit.

Last ban was requested, so maybe this one was.

I know he was unbanned because there was little reason to perm him, but he was annoying then and he can be just as irritating now since he flips out over the smallest things like before or tends to scrutinize certain things over the smallest detail.  It's a bit weird.  Else, he's not being outright offensive to others.  But he tends to stand out sometimes and not in a good way.

PS3 didn't have shit until Uncharted, and even then a lot of people waited until MGS4. Give it some time, breh. Bloodborne will be out early next year.
