"It's about the GAMES!"....is a valid point, but it will not sustain the "graphics" argument any longer. Sorry...but it wont. I have oldschool NES, SNES, and SEGA emulators on my PC. I still play those old 8 bit and 16 bit games, from time to time...for nostalgic reasons. Those games were great for their time and hardware. They had some solid gameplay and storylines.
BUT...times have changed. Hardware has changed. The VG industry has changed. Gamers ha...
*Looks at Sony* >_>
Where's OUR update for the PS4? Ya know...the one where you promised legacy headset support, bluetooth support, mp3 support and DLNA support?
...still waiting.
No email for me, yet...and I signed up for the newsletter.
I'll post back if i get one. ^_^
Yes, well...it just depends on how you play. If all you do, is sit there and grind on it, everyday...then yeah, you can reach endgame in 2 months. Probably less.
Dont let that sway your judgement tho. An expansion is coming, very soon. Not to mention, theres always PLENTY to do after you reach endgame. You can always wander the land as a nomad...just exploring the different regions and areas. Purchase a house to live in. Join guilds, meet up and hang with friends.

Yeah, I didnt buy the CE on disk. I didnt get a glorified package, with booklets, maps, action figures, etc...
I bought the DIGITAL CE of FFXIV, which only gave me a few extra in-game items.
Moot point. I digress. WB said it best, to begin with. I agree with him. It's my opinion, than P2P is just a better model, than F2P. The cost of the game itself, is just a one time fee. You might have to pay for PLUS on PS4, to play ESO...but you get all the extra be...
Um...it is for the collector's edition. Which I bought.
Well said, WB! Bubble for you. ^_^
Today's gamers are spoiled little brats who want everything for free, or for less....on a golden platter.
I think P2P for ESO is a smart move. People can throw all the F2P MMO examples out there they want...but it's been proven that a solid P2P model works best, for these types of games. When you pay the devs a sub, they take that money and put it right back into the game; maintenance, updates, patches, expansions,...
I'd like to know WTF these people are doing, to wear their rubber grips down, on the sticks.
Seriously...normal wear and tear doesnt equate to cuts, scrapes and chunks of rubber missing. This sh!t looks like a dog chewed on it, lol.
I've logged plenty of hours on Killzone, myself...and my DS4 looks as good as it did on day one. I think this is more a matter of people not taking decent care of their property, than a manufacturing defect.
Seraph And Light...
A few weeks ago, or back in December N4G had an article showing the accumulated sales figures across all 3 platforms: Wii U, PS4 and XBox One...as well as the 3DS, Vita, PS3 and 360. I cant find the article, but it was right here on N4G. Maybe someone who knows what Im talking about, can link it for everyone to see.
That chart, showed the PS4 leading in sales over the Wii U, XBox One, PS3 and 360. It showed the Wii U leading over the XBox ...
Someone should let you in on a little secret, Ben...were in the 8th generation of game consoles, now. While the PS3 and 360 are very much still relevant...main focus has shifted to the PS4 and XBox One. And even tho the Wii U outsold the PS3 and 360, it was downright MURDERED by the PS4, with the XBox One not very far behind. In fact, the PS4 has already made more in profits than the Wii U has made in lifetime sales.
So um...put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. LOL.
...
Summons75....Nintendo's commercials advertising the Wii U, are aimed squarely at children. Period.
Nintendo has a strategy. The same strategy theyve been using for generations: Hook em while theyre young, as kids. Keep em interested as teenagers. Have them pass it on to their kids. The cycle continues.
Now, one could argue this is the very same strategy ALL video game companies use. Sony and Microsoft has done the same. Even PC. BUT....Nintendo has capi...
Aiming at kids was one of Nintendo's biggest mistakes GEO.
It's time Nintendo consumers and fanboys understand this.
Nintendo is more than just a handheld developing company, GEO. The NES was around way before the original gameboy. Nintendo makes consoles too.
And they need to get back in touch with the console market.
Yeah...thats why Nintendo has no idea what to do with their Wii U console. Iwata admitted, he misread the market. He misread what gamers wanted. And if you ask me...he misread a LOT more than that.
Nintendo is out of touch with core gamers and hardcore gamers alike. They thought they could have another run with the casual market. But this is a new generation of gamers. Trends change. What was popular on the Wii...is less popular now.
Sony polled the develop...
Okay...since so many fanboys wanna jump in to do damage control...we wont use the word "DECLINE."
So the question should read: Who is responsible for Nintendo's failure with the Wii U? Since this is what it's REALLY about.
The 3DS is doing well, so we'll leave that alone. Nintendo has money and their doing fairly well in the stock market, so we'll leave that alone. But the Wii U is NOT doing so well and despite what kinda facts and ...
Stick your head in the sand, then. Doesnt make the facts, any less true.
It's not trolling or flamebait, when Nintendo THEMSELVES comes out and makes such statements. They are admitting a certain failure, with the Wii U. Why cant you fanboys do the same?
Youre counting HD remakes and older games? WOW. You know damn well what he meant. People want to see NEW games. Not rehashed and over polished HD remakes, from older console generations. -_-
Nintendo finally decides to pull their heads out? Imagine that.
Now, if only they can hammer out some new IP's to balance out all their first party crap. Wanna know why I never bought a Wii U? Cuz Im not into Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong. Throw somethin at me I like...and you might get my money. Keep shoving franchises that I grew up with as a kid down my throat...and I'll keep ignoring you.
I'd have to agree with this entire article. Well written and well said. The PS3, PS4 and Vita could ALL use another major update. Like...SOON. As in, yesterday.
Im still waiting to hear more news about this new PS4 firmware update, that is supposed to enable MP3 playback as well as other things. Wasnt this supposed to drop JAN 2014? Guarantee you, Sony is gonna keep quiet about it...until someone decides to ask Yoshida, on Twitter.
Pfffft....figures. Shouldve known it would be delayed. And of course they'd wait til the end of January to tell us. -_-
