Next Gen Systems (PS4/XboxOne)

Has anyone else purchased one? I got a Playstation 4 tonight. I stopped at Wal-Mart to get some milk and there was one just sitting all alone in the case. I couldn't just let it there all by itself so I bought it. There wasn't a huge selection of games to choose from so I went with Battlefield 4. Considering we're still in the transition period I wasn't expecting my mind to be blown but it looks like there's a lot of potential. I'm not really sold on how much it wants you to be connected via social media though. The first thing it wants you to do when you log into your account is to use your first and last name (you can opt to go by your PS name) and then connect to your Facebook to share achievements. I guess it would be cool if you had a FB profile with all your gaming friends but I'm sure my family members don't really care that I beat the first level of Battlefield 4. I'm also still not happy that I now have to pay to play on the internet but I guess I gotta accept the fact that the days of free online play are about over.

Sidenote: I'm sure someone will say "Why isn't the WiiU included?" It's a terrible system that's why. Nintendo is just lucky it has multiple beloved franchises and a stranglehold on the handheld department. Without those two things Nintendo would be like Sega right now.

Not really all that interested in 'next gen' current gen still has a lot of potential...although if your a glorified graphic whore(not saying you are its just the feeling I get from people i've spoken too about it.) The next gen is the way too go...me i'm more on the PC side of things now..never used to be might get one in the next few years but not really interested at the moment..

Nope. Waiting for more games, a slim model and a Vita bundle.

If the next RE happens before any of that I might have to change my plans.

Why would a graphic whore go for next gen systems early? The graphics are always the last to catch up. Graphics whores own PCs.

I got the Xbone for a few games, I got Dead Rising 3 and Forza, but honestly, I don't see why they can't also be on the 360. The graphics aren't too great and the kinnect doesn't offer that much honestly.

Kind of waiting on Titanfall though.

Nah, I'm not really interested in the new consoles. I haven't really seen anything that would justify spending that much money on one, I'd probably be better off just getting a $400 video card for my PC.

I'm waiting for a price drop. It'll probably take a year or two.

I agree about the Wii-U. I honestly dont want one, but I need the new Smash Bros. Likewise I dont really care to have an Xbox 1 or Ps4. Ill concentrate on getting a ps3.

So I must be a graphic whore yet I play games that are over 16 years old on my pc? Don't tar every PC user/gamer with the same brush that's the last thing you should do... Gaming crowd nowadays is all about graphics never about the game itself that in itself makes me sick.

I still play DooM. I like when Games are Big and Fun, not 5 hours long and only cuz of pretty environments that you won't notice.

The only PC fanboy I know of is ChrisRedfieldRE156. :-)

You know, some of my friends are all into mainstream games and always cream their pants when new games are released, and think im weird for being more excited to play an older game, LotR: Two Towers for instance. Which is such a BEAST game! Fight for middle earth!

Wow, calm down ladies. If we would all kindly put on our reading comprehension hats, we would all notice that I did NOT say that anyone owning a PC is a graphic whore. It should have been quite obvious to anyone with a basic knowledge of the English language that the implication was that IF someone is really a graphic whore, they would get a PC. But since you two seem to be so hellbent on getting offended, I have taken it upon myself to soak this post in a strong mixture of condemnation and sarcasm, for your pleasure. By the way, I grew up playing PC games, from the time we only had paint on the old Macs to Oregon Trail up to the original (not Jaguar, so not 100% original) AvP to UT2K3 to Battlefield 1942/Secret Weapons of WWII to freaking Ultima Online (when Renaissance was the most recent version) and the first Diablo when every gamer finally started learning how to hack in the mainstream right up to LoL and Minecraft. I'm not anti-PC at all. Thanks.

I will just leave they quotes there and let it sink for a while, maybe you will eventually notice your own mistake.

Am I the only one seeing the distinction between both statements? He's saying all graphics whores are PC gamers, not that all PC gamers are graphics whores. Like how all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs.

If somebody's being a sarcastic asswipe, I'm all for treating that person in kind. But in this case, it's you and DXP that seem to be getting defensive and misconstruing Aegis' statements.

Um... no, because not every child molester has a mustache.  

Ghost is right. I was saying that if someone is really a whore for graphics, they generally get the platform with the best graphics, which is the PC. Therefore, graphics whores own PCs. But not everyone who owns a PC owns it for graphics. Clear as crystal!

If it where written in more a coherent structure then the main point you where trying to put across wouldn't have been misconstrued.

It was written just fine and the meaning easily understandable. It's not his fault that it went over your head.

Quote :

The statement "graphic whores own PC's", is very vague and therefore with no connecting evidence explaining that you are not targeting PC gaming in whole but only a small demographic then of course people will get the wrong idea.

No, it's not vague at all. Saying graphics whores own PCs is a simple statement of fact, no more vague than saying water is wet or fire is hot.

I still stand by my original comment, me and DXP had every right to press you on it.

Your original comment that not all PC gamers are graphics whores? Nobody here made any such claim otherwise, so there was no reason to press anyone on it.

If my original statement was merely vague, one would think the proper response would be to ask for clarification. Instead, you assumed I was trashing on PC owners. Anyway, I think I have hijacked this thread enough. Although we may all have opened the thread up a bit to PC gaming, as well as next gen systems.
