03.31.18 | Seriously no good exclusives for this. No wonder ps4 outsells it 2-1. Probably gonna go with sony for next gen. Never owned a sony console before. |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | that platform needs a game thats as good as these albums are |
necropig
03.31.18 | Microdick need to have a good E3, they've had nothing good for ages.
I own an XBX and I don't know why I bought it.
Switch and ps4 pro get the most love. |
Sinternet
03.31.18 | legitimately see no reason to purchase one over a ps4 these days (except for as you said getting it cheap) |
Sinternet
03.31.18 | for me sony is a skip a generation system
n64 > ps1
ps2 > gamecube >xbox
xbox 360>wii>ps3
switch>ps4>wii u>xbone
although i guess since at least the wii nintendo caters to a different niche so aren't directly comparable |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | but if you choose x360 over ps3 how would you play demon's souls the objective best game ever made :^) |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | yeah look you really needed the PS4 instead. the Xbox One is the most useless console on the market. All its exclusives now are all on Windows 10 and run better there too... |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I bought an Xbox One this gen because the 360 was so classic, but man did I bet on the wrong horse this time. I only play PC and Switch now but I'll get a PS4 eventually |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | "but if you choose x360 over ps3 how would you play demon's souls the objective best game ever made :^)"
Do what I did and buy a PS3 now-ish solely for Demon's Souls and Metal Gear Solid 4 for like $50 |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | i mean you can only do that now because its over a decade old |
necropig
03.31.18 | Bloodborne may be my favourite game this gen |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | well yeah and the decade wait was totally worth it |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I'm gonna buy a PS4 soon solely for BLoodborne |
necropig
03.31.18 | I think it's free this month on PS+. Now's a good time. Also the DLC is essential |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I don't care to get it digitally so I'll be happy to buy it physically when I get a PS4. I can't afford one rn (well I can but I don't want to), but maybe sometime in the next six months |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | may i ask why you prefer physical? |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | physical because if my harddrive ever shits the bed or the PSN store implodes, i'll be able to carry my beautiful plastic case and shiny disc through the apocalypse for eternity.
plus i'm a filthy consumerist worm and i just like owning *things*, and my collection of all the souls games will look incomplete if my only copy of bloodborne is digital.
|
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | i'm the kind of dickhead who goes to ye olde game store to buy a plastic box with a download code inside just for the sake of having a shitty box (GOD i miss classic game boxes) |
necropig
03.31.18 | Digital is shite but just as it's the game this month I mentioned.
When I can I always get physical. Digital is too dear anyways |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | is my understanding of current day console ecosystems wrong (as im not part of them), or do they not still require you to apply gigabytes of patches and updates regardless, before yuo're even able to start the game?
that's only re: your first point, the rest is personal preference which i respect |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | also funnily enough physical copies are, 90% of the time, cheaper. I can get in-store deals on shit here that the PSN store never has
obviously cant beat free tho |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | "is my understanding of current day console ecosystems wrong (as im not part of them), or do they not still require you to apply gigabytes of patches and updates regardless, before yuo're even able to start the game?"
yeah its the fucking worst, it basically ruins the point of a console and discs if you have to install shit. I B OUGHT A CONSO< E FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF INSTANT PLAY
at least nintendo still hasn't let me down in that regard |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | thats what i thought yea, garbage industry |
necropig
03.31.18 | Yeah fortnite is cancer agreed |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | like there is literally no point to own a console if you are bogged down by shittier than standard PC technology. consoles are meant to provide separate and unique experiences, but xbox and playstation are just like "hey wanna be shittier pcs with terrible interfaces? ? ?"
nintendo still know tho
nintendo still know |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | nintendo seem to be doing some things right
makes you wonder how can they be so pitifully out of touch when it comes to things like youtube and artificial scarcity though |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | i just chalk it up to them being wacky japans |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | yea tru there are japanese publishers who try to pull the same or even worse shit sometimes |
necropig
03.31.18 | It's Nintendo Japan who are the out of touch ones. Apparently NoA don't mind it.
So refreshing to see Nintendo doing well after the Wii u.
Had some great games though
Play bayonetta 2 asap |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | yeah bayonetta 2 on switch is on my to-buy list.
fuck the switch is so goooooood |
Drifter
03.31.18 | "Seriously no good exclusives for this"
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh Halo |
necropig
03.31.18 | Halo has been trash since reach |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | halo has been trash since 2
not even sorry, play a real fps kiddos |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Bad opinion |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | nah |
Rolling Girl
03.31.18 | Halo 5 was a huge improvement, what you all on about?
But 2 will always be my fav.
But why do people love the switch? Nintendo does almost nothing but re-release the same 3-4 games. |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | "Halo 5 was a huge improvement"
a huge improvement compared to what?
3 and onward were watered down xbox kiddie bullshit, mediocre fps games. |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | like fundamentally at their very core |
necropig
03.31.18 | I got the new prey, heard it's good but I've not touched it yet.
I've very good memories with halo 3 parky boy
Gears of war is shite now too |
theacademy
03.31.18 | "Never owned a sony console before."
stopped reading there |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | spoilers gears was always shite
epic turned to shite when that became their cash cow and fucking ruined ut3 as a result |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | Halo 5 was an improvement?
HOW?
It was even worse than 4, and 4 only had one thing going for it |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | new prey depends on what kind of games you like, it's excellent at what it does but not for everyone |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | " I've very good memories with halo 3 parky boy"
yae people have good memories of linkin park too that doesnt mean they were ever a good band
to parallel my previous posts about how people here are snobs about music but have laughable taste in games |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | Halo 3 is amazing yea
Gears of War is still good, but 4 was a big disappointment compared to 3. I hope GoW5 picks things up.
New Prey is alright, I'm about three hours in to it rn and I'm not super into it but I can see the appeal |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Halo 3 is amazing yea [2] |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | people here are snobs about music but have laughable taste in games [2] |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Maybe you're the one with laughable taste lololololol |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I also don't exactly see how Halo 1 and 2 are way better than 3 and somehow 3 sucks compared. I mean it's essentially the same except it was finally balanced in multiplayer and didn't have any of the extreme exploits of the past two. |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I mean if you're gonna hate on Halo as an FPS series then just hate the first two as well. Otherwise I don't get it |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | "Maybe you're the one with laughable taste lololololol"
im not the one who digs the linkin park of fps ;) |
Drifter
03.31.18 | If we're gonna call any of the original trilogy bad it would def be 1 |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | ok im gonna tone it down before people think im seriously trying to start shit
for real tho just play quake instead haha couldnt help it |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | Isn't the linkin park of FPS call of duty or something? |
parksungjoon
03.31.18 | no call of duty is more like [insert relevant pop artist] |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | yeah Halo 1 is by far the worst of the first 3. the open level design is great but then the copy/paste level design is fucking terrible. Plus its buggy and unbalanced.
I grew up with Quake AND Halo and love both |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Idk about you guys but I find halo 1 on legendary to be wayyyyyy harder than halo 2 on legendary. |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | Really?
Because Halo 2 is famously fucking shit on legendary due to its horrific balancing issues and swarms of enemies
Halo 1 on legendary is a breeze |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | And don't get me started on the one-shot Jackals that shoot you before you even get to look at them in the same frame |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Maybe I'm just really bad. I could play through halo 2 on legendary with relative ease. Maybe that's just because I've played it so many times on the difficulty so I know when/where enemies show up |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Yeah they're rough. Plus the 15 or so that keep on spawning on metropolis in the area after the tunnel are just annoying to have to sit and shoot |
Sinternet
03.31.18 | halo 1 and 2 are the only ones that matter this is facts |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | alright but what's your reason for not including halo 3 |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Nah |
Sinternet
03.31.18 | haha yeah its not particularly hard to rank tho tbf, |
Sinternet
03.31.18 | havent played it in years but i remember it being just a watered down version of 2 |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I mean I really don't get it. If anything, people should hate Halo 2 more due to its small, linear level design, bad boss design, and gamepad exploits
Halo 3 brought back the open-level design of the first game and really brought the best aspects of both Halo 1 and 2 into a unified package |
Prancer
03.31.18 | let's take a quick look at halo 3:
halo 3 shipped with campaign, online multiplayer, custom games, forge, and theater mode. also everything the game offered was available 24/7 such as multiplayer playlists. the only dlc bungie charged extra for were the map packs. nowdays, multiplayer games rotate playlists weekly, microtransactions and season passes make gaming more expensive than it ever was, and bungie, a developer that was once one of the most respected game developers, couldn't even ship custom games with the original retail version of destiny.
halo 3 was so ahead of its time. |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | Halo 3's forge and custom games are still perhaps the greatest times I've ever experienced in my gaming history |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Some of the best memories I have are from halo 3 custom games/forge as well |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | I would kill for a Halo 3 PC port. That way the game would last forever and I could experience the joy all over again and it would never end |
Astral Abortis
03.31.18 | Well duh i wouldnt be threatening murder if it was actually gonna happen... |
Drifter
03.31.18 | Lol |
JokineAugustus
03.31.18 | Lol I come back to this haha. |
necropig
03.31.18 | Good read I'm sure
Buy bayonetta 2 :3 |
evilford
04.06.18 | list is like 9 of the greatest albums ever made, and then sleepytime gorilla museum |
