I haven't bought either system and I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much, and I don't game on PC. Innovation in gaming seems at an all-time low. Is it?
>>
It certainly does feel lackluster. Theres no big appeal to owning one of those, at least not yet.

I'm hoping things change as the Scorpio and PS4.5 come rolling out.

Nintendo is just about the only company that has actually justified the need for an 8th generation console to me. The Wii U innovates a ton more and does more with its hardware than either the PS4 or the Xbox One. This is what diminishing returns does to you.
>>
I'm pretty happy with my PS4 and vita. I still haven't gotten all the games I wanted because I'm waiting for sales on them, have a healthy backlog and the future looks bright.
>>
Anyone who bought into one got cucked hard given they're releasing new systems

Well it was mostly sonycucks but still
>>
>>344603815
i have a Wii U and 3DS. i'm happy with both, even if i play my Wii U whenever my kid cousins are around. i'm always playing my 3DS, though.

i kind of want a PS4 so i can play Persona 4 and 5 (and more JRPGs that aren't on the 3DS) though
>>
>>344605320
If Persona 5 is good, and it's much better on the PS4 than PS3, I may finally have to buy a PS4.
>>
Yes. I don't fucking know how, but this gen was a fucking disaster. It's pretty much half way done and nothing of note has really come out of it yet. The only good games are old games with a new coat of paint or ports from the last generation. most of the new ip's are fucking trash.

Somehow Gen 7 ended up being better. GEN FUCKING 7 WAS BETTER THAN GEN 8 IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME. THAT'S FUCKING INSANE.
>>
>>344605320
Why would you buy a PS4 for Persona 4? Just get a PS3 and play P3, 4, and 5 if that's what you're going for.

Nope, it's being amazing and is really ramping up starting this year, as anyone with a brain would expect, especially after last gen's equally slow start.

I'm sorry for your narrow tastes, Anon. I'm fucking glad there's nothing new for me in July because I've got 4 games to play from last month alone.
>>
>>344604631
The PS4 only has one objectively good game, all the other games that came out were some degree of shit, mediocre, or remastered ports from the previous generation, and empty promises. The only reason it's selling so well is because the competition shat themselves.

The Xbone has no worthwhile exclusives. The only good exclusives that it had all got ported to Windows 10 and it will stay like that for the forseeable future.

The Wii U had some pretty good games, more quantity and quality than the competition, but it sold like shit because of nintendo's retarded marketing plan for the console and they tried riding the coattails of the Wii like idiots

The Vita was a failure, there isn't anything else to say about it.

The 3DS sells pretty well but nintendo's censoring policy for western localization is pissing me off (Wii U as well).

Out of all of them, I only own a PS4 but I've had time to use them all. If I had to pick one, I'd probably pick a Wii U. Shame about the no 3rd party support because lolnintendo.

This generation fucking blows, I'm done with consoles after this is over.
>>
>>344603815
What is there left to innovate in console games? Gen 3 rebuilt from the crash, gen 5 moved to 3D, gen 6 made online gaming mainstream, gen 7 moved to Blu-Ray so we didn't need to worry about storage limits as much. Gen 8 has nothing. VR isn't ready for mainstream consoles yet, touchscreen gameplay is the domain of mobile, and the explosion of creativity of the indy market (and all the flaws that come with it too of course) are primarily on PC and mobile due to consoles being relatively strict. The biggest innovations this gen, and next gen as well, are just going to leave dedicated consoles as an antiquated form of gaming.

That was your only mistake dumbass. I bet you bought that piece of shit because "every dummy was buying it too". Dont say the generation blows because you bought a heavily marketed shitty console.
>>
>>344607060
Did you not read the entire post? I only own the PS4 but I've had plenty of time to use all of the current gen consoles and handhelds.

The only reason I bought a PS4 was because I owned every other Sony console before and the PS4, at the beginning, seemed like it would be a pretty good deal come the near future. Three years in and it only has one game I care about and it isn't even unique because I could play another game like in on the PS3 or the PC.

Don't patronize me, asshole.
>>
Nah this gen is already better than the 7th gen and you're all just jaded nostalgiafags for not recognizing it
>>
>>344603815


console are fine, but handhelds really tanked.

Vita died n 2 years and 3DS is very meh compared to DS.
>>
>>344607468
It really, really, not.

Even just taking the PS3 into consideration, the PS3 had more, and better, games within its first three years than the PS4 did. It didn't have nearly as many ported games from previous gens, it didn't have a shitty controller with battery life worse than the PSP, it didn't have paid online, it wasn't full of stupid empty promises and "greatness awaits" (x29). Looking at the other competition only makes it looks worse. The Wii U was a fucking failure and the Xbone has no games.

This gen is objectively worse than the last one.

>all those multiplats
No shit, the bottom half is entirely dedicated to Xbone/PC multiplats. It's a complete list of all 2016 games released/to-be-released on the PS4, which by its own nature includes multiplats.

>games that were released and already confirmed to be average at best
How is that relevant? EDF4.1 has a 60~ score on metacritic and yet it's one of the most fun co-op games ever for me. Nier and Dragon'sDogma were panned compared to, say, Skyrim, and yet both of them are much higher up on my list than any Bethesda game of the past decade. So on and so forth.

What is your basis for "average"? If it is scores then Uncharted4 must be the best game in your mind. If it's not scores then it's just your shitty taste, sorry.

>all those shitty looking multiplat games, especially the western ones
Is your memory THIS short? You only have a list of 3 points, and 2 of them repeat. wew lad.

> keep making collages like this? I''ve seen dozens of things like this. It reeks of desperation
It's not a collage, it's a 2016 release date list - useful for whomever wants to use it. What you are refering to are usually irrelevant hype imagines with titles that are 2 or 3 years away. Notice how there isn't a DragonQuest11, GodofWar or Cyberpunk 2077 for example.

I've never seen someone so triggered over an impartial short-term release date list

I'd argue the PS4 has more good games than the PS3 did pre-Slim, it just has fewer good exclusives. Nobody gave a shit about the PS3 pre-Slim for the actual PS3 games, it was a Linux and PS1/PS2 box. People were still making Talladega Nights cracks three years into its life.

>Also I didn't even mention EDF
You did with

you mentioned every single game on that list, so I'm free to pick any one of them to respond.

It doesn't. It really doesn't and you can verify this yourself by looking at the exclusives that the PS3 had between 2006-2009 vs the PS4 between 2013-2016. The PS3 more exclusives than the PS4 that were actually good.

Well for starters none of those games are really good and most are ports.

>>344608974

I literally just said the PS4 has fewer good exclusives, but that's because exclusives don't matter in this generation beyond retarded console war autists.

What you consider good doesn't affect my enjoyment though.
>>
>>344608956
It's riddles with ports across and the consoles and most of the games are pretty mediocre. Not to say I haven't enjoyed some games, but in retrospect they really weren't that good and I know I'll never touch them ever again.

Don't worry, it's just a bunch of memers. People who are happy with their purchase and playing vidya obviously don't come here to post as often, that's why you mostly see shitposting, the other side is actually occupied on having fun.

PC and xbox = microsoft exclusive

microsoft makes more than just a game console
unlike sony which can only make a console because sony is fucking retarded
if a game is on PC and/or xbox, but not on playstation or nintendo,
that game then becomes a microsoft exclusive

deal with it
>>
>>344609320
Yes, I'm playing it right now.

IT's good, but one game does not save this gen.
>>
The last time I turned on my Xbox 360 was to play Red Dead Redemption, 6 years ago. I haven't had any interest in a console exclusive game in 6 entire years. Not to be a PC master race but I've barely played any PC games in that timeframe either, only just upgraded my card to a 980 last year and since doing that the only "current gen" game I've played was The Witcher 3.

Video games all around on any platform are disappointing.

>>344603815
If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself.

im sorry you must be confused, because i recommended an xbox if not getting a PC

but i would also like to add how xbox and windows are both products of microsoft, therefore any game belonging to either system becomes exclusive to microsoft

are you ok with this?

The PC has more exclusives than all of the new gen consoles combined you epic memester.

Bloodborne was pretty great and Nintendo has done some neat things with the Wii U. Beyond that this gen is trash. Just sequels, [actual] rehashes, "remasters," and meme games.
