I personally never buy a console for a supposed "system selling" game. I usually buy a system for its overall library and set of features.

OC_MurphysLaw3742d ago

Specific games / IP certainly flavor my decision on what consoles to buy and when but as noted above for my primary choice it really is more about the overall offering and features.

BullyMangler3742d ago (Edited 3742d ago )

Even though

every

ps4

hyped exclusives

RAUNCHED .. . except Bloodborn

ps4 the biggest failure in gaming history

Why?

Are?

You?

Typing?

Like?

That?

SniperControl3742d ago

For me, it was about getting a PS4 because of the IP's i loved so much on PS2 and PS3. I knew long term, games like Uncharted, Rachet and Clank and Gran Turismo would eventfully appear on the PS4 at some point, but other and new IP's have confirmed the PS4 as MY console of choice, games like Killzone, Drivelub, The Order and Bloodbourne.

Nightmar3Demom3742d ago

@bully

You're right. 30,000,000 people have been duped. Biggest failure EVER

Why o why3742d ago (Edited 3742d ago )

Sony are consistent

Sony take more risks

Sony's library is more varied

Sony produce more system sellers due to said variety for example... I don't care for baseball but those who do need look no further than mlb the show. For someone out there MLB is a system seller. If you apply this to all games then it boils down to numbers and who has more titles/franchises spanning the most genres. Quality is a factor of course but that's applied to all of the players

I got the PS4 for the same reasons I got the PS3

A well balanced supply of Japanese & Western made games

Tough as nails world class quality & durable hardware

Cutting edge hardware & software technology

Wide variety of choices between a plethora of game genres and game sizes from high budget AAA, AA, A, B, C, low budget Indie games, retro classics,

Experimental sleeper hit games like Gravity Rush, Until Dawn,

Top notch quality Indie games like Rocket League,

Lot's of mecha games and RPGs

Lotso free to play games

Sly-Lupin3741d ago

Mecha games and RPGs?
I hope you've got a WiiU for XCX. Best mecha game I've played... ever.

Sly-Lupin3741d ago

For the adult gamer with enough disposable income to support multiple platforms, the "overall library" is much less important than the console-exclusive titles.

Is the PS4 worth buying for Divinity: Orinal Sin, Diablo 3, Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 5, The Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Quest Heroes and Final Fantasy 15?

For your average consumer: yes.

For me, and those like me--I guess we're what you'd call "core gamers?"--the answer is absolutely not.

But is it worth buying for Bloodborne? Very possibly.

My PC is my general gaming platform. My PS4 is my Witcher and Bloodborne box (because I don't plan on upgrading my GPU anytime soon); my 3DS is my go-to Nintendo platofrm; my Vita is my RPG machine; and my WiiU is my Xenoblade box.

If a platform only has a strong library without any standout, exclusive titles... it's not worth my time or attention.

Majin-vegeta3742d ago

I just look at their history of supporting consoles.Oh and cuz of Killzone love thr universe of it.

Perjoss3742d ago

I bought my PS4 because Sony was promising greatness.

I wasn't disappointed.

slappy5083742d ago

So far I enjoyed 1 great game Bloodborne and many very good games
Dragon Question Heroes
Gravity Rush remastered
Tales of zestria
Infamous SS and First Light
Final Fantasy 14 (God I've probably put 1000 hours into that haha)
And Until Dawn

Yeah I know some of those can be found on other platforms like Vita and PC bit when I look at a system I look at all it has to offer not necessarily only true exclusived

Cacabunga18d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot17d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose18d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE18d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy18d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde18d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8618d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8618d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300018d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
