Who here stopped buying new consoles?

>Flash backwards to 2006
>Really looking forward to the Wii due to Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, and the Wii WarioWare
>Pass on 360 because of high price and didn't like the original Xbox
>Pass on PS3 due to insanely high price.
>Was content with the Wii throughout its life through the physical disc content, VC, and WiiWare.
>Bought a lot of games from previous gens during the HD generation as well.
>Got 3DS after price drop due to 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Ocarina of Time 3D, and Kid Icarus Uprising
> Wii U is announced. Only piece of software that looked interesting was Nintendo Land, decided one game was not enough to buy a $300 console and passed on it.
>Flash forward to today: Only buy a few games a year, mostly from previous gens. Last contemporary game was Smash Bros. 3DS in 2014.
>Have enough stuff on my backlog to last another 10 years, but otherwise I am pretty much done buying new games.

Anyone experience anything similar?

Not your blog
Fuck off

>brawl for Wii
>3DS announced when my DS has no games
>Runescape dies
>Dungeon finder in wow
2008 was a bad year for me anons

Old games are nice but you can't be replaying old games forever. At some point you have explored most of the stuff on older consoles.

Not everything coming out nowadays is shit and lot of new installments in old series are actually a huge improvement. It's also nice to be excited for fresh new games.

Your problem OP is that you are a PC cuck, you fell for the pc meme and now are a 'tired gamer' faggot. Stop playing assfaggots 24/7 and try playing actual good games.

Tell me about it. That was the year my life took (another) nosedive and never recovered. Now I am a complete loser with no friends.

are you me?
>29 years old
>never had a job or gf

I'm full on convinced it's the same guy making these kind of threads. It's always the same "woe is me" shit with the same frog and wojak shit. Nobody cares.

Almost. I have a (shit) job. No friends though.

Fuck off back to normie book with your faggot friends who will all abandon you when times get tough.

I never bought a single console in my entire life and it's won-der-ful.

The only non-PC thing I own is a 3DS, which is one of my less useful purchases.

I find it hilarious when people tell me that I'm a "PCuck desperate for games" because I literally have more games than I can actually play.

We're all gonna make it.

Fuck off with your feelshit frogposter.

>I've never bought a console
>I bought a 3DS

This is weapons grade autism right here

Frog Pride World Wide.

I differentiate betwen consoles and handhelds.

Consoles are just useless. I bought a handheld to have something to do on the bus and it's useless too.

>Consoles are just useless.

source?

>Time to buy an inferior version of the hardware that I already have that can do less things because gotta support the brand

Consoles are useless.

I don't know. I just saw someone post that image a while back and it hit me in the feelz.

this desu

pepe triggers the redditor

I agree. I love playing Red Dead Redemption, Bloodborne and Destiny on my PC.

fuck you, leather man

>Buying hardware designed to play video games with massive 1st party and 3rd party is useless

Unless you only want to play assfaggots a console is a must have. You're really missing out alot because of your memes but it's your loss.

Nice retort. Thanks for agreeing that consoles are useless.

>Unless you only want to play assfaggots

I don't want to play assfaggots, I always win against them and they say something about fucking your mother or whatever.

>a console is a must have

I don't think you understand what "consoles are useless" means.

>You're really missing out alot because of your memes

Such as?

I want to buy a PS4 but only because of BB, all other games are either on PC or I don't care about them. Waiting on e3 for the PS4K announcement, maybe we'll see some other interesting games, too.

>gets btfo

"I t-told you, consoles suck I d-dint even w-want those games anyway!”

This.
There is no way I'm getting a console for 1 or maybe 2 games.
Waiting till they release the next generation again I guess.

You're going to call them weeb trash or shit anyway because you don't give a shit about video games, you just want memes and what better way to meme than parrot pcmr's preconcieved biased opinions?

Le consoles are dead xD
Le PS4 has no gaems lol
My $200 PC runs everything on ULTRA I swear
SONYGGERS BTFO AGAIN AMIRITE

I still play my Ps3 when I get a chance, only game I was interested in on ps4 was BB and I borrowed my friends for a week for that. But the new jrpgs and nioh are gonna force my hand into buying one but I'll wait till ps4k. Also hope p5 is on Ps3 na

>PS4 games are all games made by highly payed expert team of people led by veterans in the industry
>PC games are all games that could run on a tablet done by people who were too incompetent to get a job and they dev it between their activism marches
What went wrong with PC gaming?

My last console and handheld were the PS2 and GBC
I don't care enough about missing a couple of exclusive games to waste money on consoles
Xbox's exclusive always seemed very average to me, never cared much about Nintendo's 1st party, Sony was a bit more appealing, but now PS4 and Xbone are almost as shitty
Now I'm probably way too used to playing on PC to enjoy consoles

It got swarmed by redditors and kids. Steam become too big, the horrible community will buy literal shit and thus publishers saw they can release shit and still make money. The problem with PC gamers is that they have absolutely no standards so everyone in the industry abuses that.

The only fucking decent people left in the PC community are piratefags and they are fairly rare nowadays with steam's sucess.

If you want to compare exclusives, i automatically win. Quantity and quality. Don't even fucking go there. Buying a console for an exclusive is retarded.

You sound mad about buying bad, useless hardware.

The fact that you have to squeeze these pictures out says a lot, I think.

Nice samepost.

Stopped buying consoles after PS2 and Gamecube. It's nothing new OP, you just outgrew them.

Buying a PC for an exclusive is retarded. See? Writing words is easy.

I only care about 7 of those games and I can play them all on other platforms I already own, why should I get a PS4?

>If you want to compare exclusives, i automatically win. Quantity and quality.
Let's compare what is comparable shall we? Let's compare this generation exclusives on consoles to this generation exclusives on PC. Pretty much everyone owns a PC capable of running 15 years old PC games. The real debate is modern high end PC dedicated to video games vs modern consoles.

If we do that then PC is a fucking joke with its meme simulators. If you find that unfair then we can compare all time PC exclusives to all time console exclusives, even if we narrow it down to only sony systems PC is still a joke.

>You sound mad about buying bad, useless hardware.
I don't care about some faggot spreading memes on a chinese cartoons imageboard. You say it's useless hardware and that I'm literally eating shit, but I actually own a PS4, and this year most of my video games time was spent on PS4 and I just wanted to share that with you.

>The fact that you have to squeeze these pictures out says a lot, I think.
What am I supposed to do? You said PS4 has literally ONE game, but it's objectively wrong. I presented you with a list of games and you dismissed for stupid reasons. Thank you for wasting my time.

>he got this butthurt someone agreed with something everyone already knows.

Logic would be outgrowing videogames, not consoles.

Vidya died around early 2000's, so my point stands perfectly.

I don't care what you do with your money. If you prefer playing Shower with your Dad on steam to Gravity Rush that's fine.

However why do you always have to be so agressive? You're constantly trashing consoles in every thread and trying to convert everyone to your meme platform. Shitposting comes from every side but PC users seem to be responsible for most of the platform war faggotry, if you calmed down on your obsession with consoles the board would be much better.

Another thing, you say consoles are shit and that people are eating literall shit but the reality is that consolefags are having fun while you are here buttdevastated about god knows what. You're annoying, you're obnoxious, consolefags don't need to constantly tell them how horrible they are because there is no much ground for that statement.

>I only care about 7 of those games
Wouldn't you say that it's a good enough reason to own the platform? It's not a huge investment and it's looking promising in the future.

Disregard this faggot, OP, this IS your blog and you're the dancing queen.

You shouldn't. Just like someone shouldn't get a $2000 gayming PC when all they're interested in is a bunch of indies that run on toasters.

I know you fags like to pretend one platform having objectively better hardware than the other is all that matters, but it all comes down to games and how YOU wanna play them.

But no, let's argue over and over and over and over and over again about the same shit every day while nobody is willing to change their opinion and acknowledge other people are different. Because all of Sup Forums is a single person. He's called user and he's a notorious hacker.

Are you fucking kidding me, you hypocritical shitbreed?

>If you prefer playing Shower with your Dad on steam to Gravity Rush that's fine.

If you prefer Everyone's Gone to the Rapture to Serious Sam 3, I can do this too, failure.

>You're constantly trashing consoles in every thread and trying to convert everyone to your meme platform

I wonder who made these "GTA 5 never ever" threads for literally years.

>Wouldn't you say that it's a good enough reason to own the platform?

Why?

>hurr le video games died long time ago it's nothing but shit now

Why is it always PC fags that are so negative about video games?

I agree that there is lot of problems with the industry but plenty of new games released are really good. Aren't you fucking hyped for Nier 2 or Persona 5? We're getting a new Star Ocean game too.

>Have a spare 3DS.
>Get excited because people are hacking theirs and downloading games straight from Nintendo.
>Realise I did this with the DS and barely played anything.
>Realise I did this with the PSP and barely played anything.
>Realise I have a backlog of 3DS games I paid for.
>No more excitement.

You say that because you're a PCuck and are missing out on games.

>Let's compare what is comparable shall we? Let's compare this generation
Whoa there, failure, what's a "generation", excuse me?

I'm playing on an actual PC, not a gimped PC that arbitrary locks me out of playing games that are "too old" and expects me to re-buy them.

Every single console library without exception I will compare to PC's ENTIRE library, and you will too.

>If we do that then PC is a fucking joke with its meme simulators.

Only according to some shitposting weeb on an anime imageboard.

>You say it's useless hardware and that I'm literally eating shit, but I actually own a PS4

That's... not contradictory.

>Why is it always PC fags that are so negative about video games?
Cause PC is currently oversaturated with console ports, indie shovelware and what few exclusives came out were money grab trash

>Aren't you fucking hyped for Nier 2 or Persona 5?
Why would I be hyped for JRPGs?

>We're getting a new Star Ocean game too.

Also a JRPG.

>cause PC is currently oversaturated with games

I agree.

>indie shovelware
You don't know what shovelware means.

You sound pretty buttdevstated. No need to get angry fellow PC master race uber spieler.

>I wonder who made these "GTA 5 never ever" threads for literally years.
I wonder who was an obnoxious faggot that bashed consoles and insulted it's userbase all the fucking time. Never ever didn't appear because console fags wanted to mess with you, it appreared because you were always trashing consoles, it was a defense. "You think consoles are literal shit? Well at least we have good games to play".

>Why?
You are interested in games it has? You have 2 options, get butthurt, salty, shitpost and portbeg. Or spent these $300 and have fun. Again, if you prefer all these glorious steam games there is nothing wrong with it. Personaly I'm more interested in Persona 5 than Shower with your Dad 2.

>I like being a second rate citizen
I guess you have to somehow validate buying all that expensive hardware

>You sound pretty buttdevstated.
You're the one who has to desperately prove that "my console has games... honest! HONEST! BUY THIS PLEASE!"

>I wonder who was an obnoxious faggot that bashed consoles and insulted it's userbase all the fucking time. Never ever didn't appear because console fags wanted to mess with you,

Is this the fucking kindergarten? Do you know why adults weren't interested in your "he started fiiiiiiiirst!" then and they aren't now?

The fact remains a fact. I remain correct.

> You are interested in games it has?
Source?

>You have 2 options, get butthurt, salty, shitpost and portbeg.

You seem to be a fan of false dichotomy.

I'm playing a lot more consoles actually than my PC
PC gaming has changed too much to indie early access bad ports cuck shit. I actually like the Xbox One over the other Xboxes (It's missing Ninja Gaiden though), the PS4 is better than the PS3 so far - but not as good as PS2. But yeah, Nintendo fucked up. The Wii U is trash, I sold mine because it collected dust for months. Mario Kart 8 and Bayo 2 was fun, but thats it. I don't see myself getting another Nintendo console

>Whoa there, failure, what's a "generation", excuse me?
That thing the consoles have and that dictate you what games you will get. Don't play dumb. Also PC does have "generations" too, those new cards released every 2 year aren't there just for shit's and giggles. If you want to maintain that precious meme framerate at 60 you gotta goy out $600 to Nvidia.

>Only according to some shitposting weeb on an anime imageboard.
Under my conditions it's true. Compare exclusives released on PC the last 4 years to the exclusives released on consoles the last 4 years. PC survives on console ports, it's basically console gaming for memesters. The platform has nothing to offer on it's own. This isn't 2005 anymore. There won't be Warcraft 4, there is no Age of Empires 4, there is no Crysis 4.

>buying games when hacking them became piss easy

bro you are the one with the barely working multiplats

The ones that work on release day at 1080p/60fps, while it doesn't work for you until months later?

Have you tried not being blinded by Nintendo delusion?

You're not alone. I have been going back on my PS2/PSP and discovering more gems that I've missed out due to my shit taste.

I own a PS3 and i find little reason to upgrade to PS4 since it's literally PortStation, same applies for the Vita. It could be the way the gaming industry is becoming a business model and evolved from a medium for creators to express their love for games for gamers. Now game companies endorse safe selling blockbuster titles and niche publisher move on to the android/app market. Which is also why we're getting HD Remasters of classics from previous gen, DLCs that costs more than main game, seasonal pass, shitty ports to PC that crashes half the time. It's the fail-safe approach that maximizes returns and they know they can get away with this because people will eat it up. Look what happened to the boycotting on DLCs we saw on Sup Forums in 09, we become indifferent to shoddy business practice with time. SJW will take over the industry next and there's nothing you can do about it. The same cycle will happen

It's the sad truth. Games are not the way it once was. Don't get me started on PS4.5

1080p/60fps on console
In what miracle word are you living

>If only this was true for Sony consoles

>You're the one who has to desperately prove that "my console has games... honest! HONEST! BUY THIS PLEASE!"

I have no sony stocks so I don't care what you spend your money on. If you want to goy out $600 to nvidia every couple of years it's your choice.

This argument all started because you have a sony hateboner and are butthurt that people own PS4s. You stated that there is no reason to own a PS4 and that it's completely useless, but I proved you wrong. You asked for games and I showed them to you. They're a good fucking reason to own one. You're so fucking dishonest and immature I doubt you're even 18.

Go donate to some youtuber patreon and cry to reddit/PCMR that the sonyggers are mean againt. Post your rig there, get some upboats, eat some hotpockets and relax. It's just video games son.

>weeb poster

>Ds games are still getting translated in 2016
What a time to be alive. Too bad my DS died and 3DS is currently too expensive.

No. I still enjoy video games and I'm not some cynical faggot like you.

the only things i own are my PC, PS2, and GBA. My brother sold his GameCube that i loved.

I seriously believe we are in a dark age of gaming.

I know what you guys are thinking and will list a bunch of good games in your defense. However, those are just a handful of games out of the entire rotten ecosystem. You're not seeing the whole picture. Games as a whole have been bad since the seventh generation (PS3/Wii/360). Perhaps your standards have dropped over the years as you grew more and more impatient waiting for gems you can snatch up, but I have not. I will not buy a game that is bad or mediocre. PERIOD.

I stopped buying consoles since I was 11 and stopped playing video games since I was 15, but I still browse this board for good measurement, same goes for Sup Forums.

I dont own a PC but you're a huge faggot

Dude hack a ps3,then you get all ps1/2/3 games for nothin.

Nah you're just a jaded cunt lmao

>spend most of teenage years without games
>unemployed for years
>save up money
>get PS2 1st January 2012
>get PS3 22nd November 2012
>get job in September 2013
>get PS4 10th October 2013

Nope, can't say I have.

>Get a 3DS the same year Pokemon X/Y comes out
>Get excited for absolutely nothing
>Get a Wii U
>Don't even touch it aside from Sm4sh or Mario Kart 8
>PC
>Some cool games,nothing that grabs my attention much
>Go back to DS and Super Nintendo
>Absolutely love them

Gaming sucks now. I honestly believe it's only gotten worse. Some games nowadays are alright, but nothing that makes you want to play it all day and night and talk about it with others.

>only plays modern nintendo games
>disappointed with gaming


You can't make this shit up

>ps4 games.jpg
Oh yeah. Multiplat, Japanese only VNs. Those are my favourite ps4 games.

I stopped after I had 3 Xbox 360s red ring

It's Welcome to the NHK.

>saving images you like without looking for the source

NORMIE GET OUT!

Lack of exclusives to justify the purchase. Though since Ace Combat 7 was announced, im pretty much sold on a PS4.

>Aren't you fucking hyped for Nier 2 or Persona 5?

Maybe Nier, but mostly hype for FF15 since it shows a lot of promise from the usual japanese games (which has also been in a great decline over the last decade). KH3 and Ace Combat.

The 3DS was a fucking trainwreck and I sold that about a month after completing what was worth playing, not including pokemon.

PS4 will probably be my next console after PS2, but I'd honestly rather play the games on a PC where everything is a bit higher in the quality zone.

Didn't miss out on shit during the PS3 or 360 era, except Halo of course..

Ive stopped buying consoles. you can quite easily skip an entire gen and not miss much. It's all the same shit gen after gen. Plus I'm getting older and I just can't justify it anymore. It's a $400 or whatever procrastination box and there's still shit loads of games I havent played for 360.

Never seen a PS4 or XBox One in real life.

No. I never got into video games until well into my adulthood, so I don't have any nostalgia or financial issues holding me back.
