I’d buy a PS5 just to play a next gen Socom.
Being a "gamer" is defined by how commited you are to your hobby.
That's like eating the same thing for dinner every night.Why?
I actually envy them. I have a pretty wide taste in games, not as wide as others but still more then average? I like a bit of everything. My backlog fucking sucks, and too much choice kicks in and I play less games.
Take my roommate for example. Really just plays shooters, and the occasional action game (like Fallen Order since he loves SW). He has no backlog, he basically just plays Modern Warfare and even considering he buys some of the packs he still spends way less then me on games.
I have another friend that really only likes MOBA, and Battle Royale games. He hasn’t spend more then $50 on games in almost2 years because his needs are fulfilled by League, CIV6, and Apex
They also have one platform, and don’t really see the need to buy another. My roommate is only PS4, and the other guy owns a budget pc build. They also both spend more time playing then I do despite having multiple platforms. Then you have all the people who play call of duty and like nba. Just because they only play sports and shooters doesn’t mean they are less of a “gamer” then you.
The reasoning is that people are just talking shit online. Throw in a bit of Console Wars and there you go.
If you are into videogames then pretty much every console out there has something awesome for you. Unless you have a very, very, narrow and specific thing that you like and you just hate everything that isn't that.
Even older consoles and handhelds have a massive amount of quality content.
I've owned loads of different consoles over the years and never once owned something that didn't have awesome games to play.
So it doesn't really matter what system you get.
Some people just love the phrase "gathering dust".
This.In my experience, it's worth buying a console for one game you really want. You're always going to find other games you didn't realise it had, which justifies the purchase. This is why I have most consoles, and I don't regret buying any of them.
It's very rare that a system will have absolutely zero games I'm interested in, but it has happened once or twice. Hello, PS Vita.
the reasoning is that an overhead cost of ~$400 isn't worth it to play one or two games. this doesn't sound unreasonable. would you pay $200 per game?I've seen this quote before and I want to understand the reasoning behind it
I’m not saying that I’m envious that they only play 2 games. I’m envious that don’t waste a shit ton of money on games they never play. They also enjoy those games so much that they don’t feel the need to play other games. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone being very selective in the games they play..That's like eating the same thing for dinner every night.
It's like paying a hooker $500 just to shake hands.That's a stupid question. Why would I pay $500 to play one or two games?
I got the PS4 early on because I knew Sony would deliver the games I wanted down the line... and I was gaming much more back then, so I played whatever for the first year or two.
I buy it just to watch TV on it ! No rly now if I did not had already a PS4 Pro I would get one just for Ghost of Tsushima !
You only need to read the posters history to get a good picture why.You know, for a gaming "enthusiast" site, I find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that people can't find more than one good game to play on modern systems.
Others actually care about playing everything.
What is this? Liveblog?So what's your favorite match-3 games, or hidden object games? Played any interactive visual novels recently? How about sports titles? Do you prefer Madden to NHL? Or is Fifa your thing?

Do you always take things literally?I'm just saying no-one cares to play everything. Not you, not me, no-one.
I don't really get this quote personally. If 1 or 2 games don't sell one on a console, than what would sell one on a console? Almost everyone hates console "gimmicks" that differentiate systems from one another, so I wouldn't even say that's a system seller anymore. So then that leaves games as a system seller. What's the point of getting a system if it doesn't have compelling games only available on it? Note: I'm not here to tell people how to spend their money, it's just I've seen this quote before and I want to understand the reasoning behind it.
I own a PS4 for, essentially, 3 games so far...but not because I bought a PS4, I was given it. 3 games, no matter how good they may be, is not enough of a library to get me to drop hundreds on a platform. Multi-plats are a no no because I can already play them on PC, so that only leaves exclusives...and amongst those my list of titles I'm interested in is extremely short. If Sony can't get me to drop money on more than 3 titles how do you expect them to sell me on the entire console?

My point was that you do yourself a disservice if you skip a platform that has good games, if you care at all about gaming.
Some people just don't care, that's fine.
Some people have an axe to grind (fanboys), those people are hopeless.
The thing I don't get is when people buy a system for a game that doesn't exist, or was teased with a logo or some shit.
Like people who bought a PS3 for Trico or a Switch for Metroid Prime 4. Like, why not just wait dude.
When that game announced on Switch I decided to buy Switch but I was planning to buy it once SMTV comes out but I end up buying early because of Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.I bought a Switch for SMT V........
