Old videogames look old, new videogames look new. New videogames on old systems look bad. Old videogames on new tvs look bad. Videogames.

Here you are dead wrong. Everything was hypothetical.

"It doesn't have to be exclusive, but the PS4 has few exclusives, than it's hardly worth picking up in favor of say Xbox One or (more likely) PC."

I'm not sure how that's obviously meant as a hypothetical, but whatever you say professor.

I was defending the criteria of exclusives in deciding a console, which you called bullshit for but still haven't been able, nor can you be able, of pointing out why it's bullshit.

Like I already said, I think it's bullshit to claim a system isn't worth owning based on it's lack of exclusives.  If somebody only wants to play CoD, FIFA, GTA, etc., then any one of the systems is worth owning, and the buyer should decide on price/controller preference/etc.

Exclusives are a valid point to consider, of course, but it's just one factor among many.

However, I do know it's downright laughable you think the PC has less exclusives than either of those two consoles. Hilarious.

I freely admit to not following PC gaming all that closely (or much of any new stuff, really), so I was basing that mostly off what I see in stores, in adverts, and on GoG or Steam.  The vast majority of those titles are either cross platform or rehashes of old PC games that may or may not have been ported all over the place back in the day.

That's a hypothetical. You should also have learned those in 4th grade. I think you should go back and carefully reread the arguments here. Make sure you're not confusing me with some other argument you had last year.

I figured it out! You don't know the definition of the word if, do you?

It's so fun getting you riled up.  Easy too.





Here's a game for OP to pre-order: Ys VIII.  It's all you really need.  :mrgreen:

Sorry to let you down, bud, but you'll have to try a bit harder to evoke some actual passions here. I will admit I typoed typing too fast, but c'mon, read it aloud and see for yourself what sort of impression it makes on you.

Let me make this clear without any typos:

Protasis: Should the PS4 not have any good exclusives,
Apodosis: then the PS4 is not a worthwhile console.

Unless

Protasis: Should neither the PS4 nor the Xbone have any good exclusives,
AND
Protasis: should a PC be disregarded for whatever reason,
Apodosis: then the PS4 and Xbone should be evaluated based on other criteria.

Is that crystal clear?

Well I like my PS4 and it's been fun. :)

I'm not going to read an argument about why I should have bought a $1000+ PC.

GET FALLOUT 4

*braces for the shitstorm*

Seriously. Get Fallout 4. And for the record, I never played COD. I just like oldschool stuff, and They way they re-imagined 1950's and 1980's technology is just freaking great.

What does CoD have to do with fallout 4? and what's wrong with CoD? I hear the ps3/360 version of Advanced Warfare is the amazing.

You talking about Call of Duty 4?

Hmmm no, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare was last year's Call of Duty, and the ps3/360 version is one of the best games ever. Don't play the ps4 version unless you stick to Greece, but the ps3/360 version is the cat's pajamas - especially the zombie dlc ;)

Nothing "Wrong", just haven't ever played it except once for 5 minutes. Probably all the videos of middle-aged dads yelling at teenagers on Youtube. For some reason it almost always comes up in conversation when I talk about Fallout.

All things considered, I really like the PS4.

I'm not going to read an argument about why I should have bought a $1000+ PC.
Agreed that's how i see it as well.Call me old fashion i like sticking to consoles that have a physical release.

There's nothing old-fashioned about modern games.

I say old fashion now due to console getting physical release still.PC is mostly digital now thanks in part to steam and goodoldgames.Like i said it's a matter of preference.If you have the $ for a gaming PC or console if you want it right out of the box.When i went for the PS4 it was because of bloodborne and up coming uncharted 4 and for the localization of sega,yakzua zero.

In all honesty have you checked out resogun? Speaking of exclusives, that's the best defender clone since Santatlantean in my opinion. I was pretty addicted to it when I got my PS4, and it was all I had until I got Destiny and Bloodborne.

You can build a HTPC for about $450 that can play all the games the ps4 and Xbox one have , except exclusives of course, with a higher frame rate and always at 1080p with a ps4 or Xbox one controller connected via Bluetooth. The xbone and ps4 can't claim 1080p for every game.

But if your main way of gaming is on a console there isn't much reason to change it either. As all are viable at the same or similar price range.

I already have a capable enough PC to play games -- I've beaten MGSV on it. But don't let me get in the way of the arguments here
