Is there even a point in owning a console? I've always been a PC gamer with a good PC and recently got a lot of money, so I'm thnking about buying either PS3 or PS4 for the exclusives ... but literally everything has been ported to PC.

I pretty much only want to play Demon souls, Bloodborne, Ni No kuni and the new Ratchet and Clank.

Are these four games the only good PS4 and PS3 games that aren't on PC? (Uncharted, David cage games are NOT good games.)
>>
>Is there even a point in owning a console?
Nintendo games.
>>

I don't want to buy WIii U since well most likely see the next console in another year.
>>
>>345440529
You got a solid library of games that are actually games and exclusive.

It's looking like NX wont be backwards compatible.
>>
>>345440468
Yeah xbox and ps4 games are getting shittier with this new movie game trend going on
>>
Get a gaming PC, get the Dolphin emulator and life is perfect

For me it's not worth it. I played Bloodborne and found it meh.

Currently the only PS4 exclusive that I wish came out on Steam is Until Dawn, but I already completed a full playthrough of that with everyone surviving.

Best horror game/movie to come out in the past decade imo. The overall plot and the writing is solid.

It would take several games of that tier to fullt convert me though.

Not to start a war, buy PS4 definitely has more of the "movie games" with David Cage or whatever. Not to say Xbox is innocent.
>>
>Is there even a point in owning a console?
Absolutely, provided you are neither a child nor an autist. I can understand preferring PC gaming if you are young. You can easily pirate a ton of games, and that's not even counting emulation.

But once you had your fill of the past and you concentrate on current and upcoming games, buying overpriced PC hardware parts instead of just buying a console and being set for the good part of a decade is just dumb.

That is, of course, unless you prefer the strategy, role-playing, simulation and MMO genres. But in that case this question dowsn't even arise as your tastes are so specific.

I believe OP is just trying to justify his bad purchase decision of paying obscene amounts of money to upgrade his PC and missing out on countless console-exclusive titles that he really wishes he could play.

What I'll never understand is how someonw who can spend $3000 on a PC doesn't have the money to buy a $300-$400 console.
>>
>>345447427
He didn't, most of /v/'s PC gaymurs have budget shit computers that are only marginally better than the PS4 and they pirate all of their games. They actually couldn't afford to play games on the PS4 or Xbox One because they only have enough money for their medioccre hardware.

Go into any DOOM thread and you'll see 20 people bemoaning denuvo.
>>
>>345447632
Now see, this I also do not understand. What, these people only have $200 at thei disposal? Both PS4 AND Xbox One only cost $300 now.

How deluded are these people into their shitty little self-help cult that they would rather spend that money on outdated, ineligible hardware rather than the chance to actually play new games?

And can't these people just play their old games and simply save up their money until a game goes on sale?

What on Earth is wrong with the people on this board...

Have you considered that you might be wrong? Some people (like me) simply have no desire to play on consoles. I know it's shocking.

But yes, the only reason everyone doesn't own 20 PS4s is because they can't afford it.
>>
>>345447917
Not $200, but maybe $600-800, ONCE. I have spent probably 3x that on my PS4 and Xbox One over the past 2 years.

>>345448094
I'm not saying that every PC gamer is that way, a lot of PC gamers do simply prefer to play games on PC and I can understand why they do, I like the platform and feel a mouse and keyboard is by far the best way to play a shooter.

A large portion though undeniably could not afford to play games on a PS4 even if they wanted to. They almost exclusively pirate software which currently is not feasible on the PS4.

I like to actually own my games, I like local multiplayer, I like that everything just werks, I like sony exclusives and I like the console experience more in general as I have grown up playing on consoles starting with the 2600.

I do have a competent PC which I mostly use for emulation and older multiplats I missed on, and sometimes for piracy, I gotta say It's a pretty shitty experience overall and the community has turned to absolute shit recently. I'm really happy to have my consoles as primary gaming devices and my PC as a secondary platform. Why would someone lock himself out of good vidya experience with a shitty PC only is beyond me.

It's got a i5 4690k which is good enough for any game out. I didn't notice is graphics card is only a 750Ti which is shit, but it's still way better than what's in the Wii U. Historically the CPU has been more important than the GPU for emulation.

If you don't understand the point of a console then you have very low intelligence and incapable of simple analysis.

Ratchet & Clank is dope. Sony also has David Cage ""games"", Persona games, is home to japanese games, Fumito Ueda games, Yoko Taro games, Naughty Dog games and lower budget experimental games like Journey, Patapon, or Gravity Rush.

Some of their iconic franchises went to shit, some went forgotten, but they still make the games that appeal the most to me. Sorry you hate video games anon. For sake of curiosity, what kind of games do you like?

Is this confirmation that a $200 Wii U is better than $1000 PCs?
>>
>>345449732
You could build that exact same computer for ~$200-300.

He has a low end GPU from 2012 which is a rebranding of a 2010 gpu, and a CPU from 2012 also.

Also, I feel very silly replying to your bait as no person could possibly think a machine running an 8 month old emulator is equally taxing as running native software.

Congrats I guess.

I own a PS4.

If you really want to play Bloodborne, find a friend who has one and go play it at his place.

Absolutely nothing else on the system, it's the fucking truth. The new R&C game is the other one I was looking forward to, and it's not good.

Uncharted is just more of the same. I don't know how anyone could get hyped for a fourth game of that. Not even for Sully.

Nope.

What is there that's exclusive to play on PS4 that's actually interesting from a gameplay perspective? If you just want to play cinematic story games, sure, get a PS4, that's Sony's thing now, but that's just not my jam.

I'm legitimately trying to think here of stuff that isn't multiplat and is actually out.

Alienation is cool. The remake of Assault Suit Leynos looks good, I'm gonna get that. I've heard mixed things about Gravity Rush, but I'm going to try that at some point (hoping it comes free on PS+). Uhh...

Again, games that are actually out. If you aren't into the latest fuckawesome Naughty Dog cinematic masterpiece that gives you dad feels, it's slim pickings.
>>
>>345452146
The gameplay is O.K.

It's definitely not the best game in the series. The number/quality of weapons was a bit disappointing (I did not preorder) and I think they could have / should have done a lot more with it.

The big issue is that the framerate sucks. If you don't think the framerate sucks, we can just stop the conversation there. It definitely has performance issues, clear as day right from the jump. Not as bad as the last R&C game on PS3, but they're rough.
