console wars is bullcrap

i play very few exclusives on ps4, you guys argued for so long about which console is better but now every console has a plethora of third party games and i cant even name 5 exclusives that appeal to me. Console wars is bullcrap in the end. nuff said.

Most people here know this.

Everyone knows Nintendo has the best exclusives that none of us buys

"console wars is bullcrap"

You know you are in system wars right, its kinda the thing here

Console war winner. It's like winning a conference trophy in the NBA or NHL. The real champ is on PC who won the championship.

actually everybody buys them. its the hardware they have a tough time selling.

I really want a Wii U, they have the most exclusives by far, and some top rated games.

price drop never came though (at least in Canada) and dropping 400 for a Wii U right now does not seem logical with the NX around the corner.

Maybe I'll get a pre owned Wii U.

I've been here years... This is my life now. I don't even work anymore... I live on welfare and post here... I don't even play video games!

@Juub1990: Whos the winner for PC exactly?

May be bullcrap but it's fun.

This ain't your grandpappy's console war

Any platform that can't play Rigs is crap imo right now. That's the best game I've played since Mario 64. Every "hardcore" gamer needs to get a PSVR and play Rigs asap.

Go play candy crush on ur phone rent boy.

@getyeryayasout: I love spending money so there really isn't a purchase I'm not happy with. But as a Vive owner, I'm shocked at how good PSVR is. Rigs and Eve Valkyrie are enough to recommend it to any PS4 owner. Rigs is a special game. I know you enjoyed Rocket League. Rigs is that, in VR, with more modes and customization. And it's a ton of fun.

I'm currently playing Forza Horizon 3 and Gears 4 on PC and 4K HDR. I have Battlefield 1, the COD beta and MW Remastered. Madden and NBA 2K17 and yet all I can think about is playing more Rigs. That has to count for something.

It is bullcrap but what sad is when some folks take the shit seriously.

What's funny is people act like GSSW is so bad because of its system war rhetoric. If anything, I like people are (for most part) transparent about their biases rather than people who just as fanboyish (if not worse) all over mainstream gaming media pretending to be objective about things. If anything, as silly as we behave here, I'd like to think putting it out there affords us an enlightened perspective than people who lie about bias and skirt around excuses to give the impression they're neutral when they're not.

lol console wars. It's basically arguing which console is more shitty.

I mean it's been like that for a while, The best games are multiplat. You have a couple of decent exclusive franchises on either side, and that's it. Hardly worth getting excited about.

Maybe you should stay away from System Wars then? I don't get why so many create topics like that (don't think one second your topic is anything special). This is like going to the Playstation board and asking why everyone's talking about Playstations.

Console Wars is hard business.

It's bullcrap cause Sony made it irrelevant by destroying MS even before the gen started. TLHBO.

Correction, I think you mean SW is Cow crap...

lol

:P

@inso-maniac:

That's how it goes around here, yo. Argue about something stupid then move on to the next topic.

Yes and no, it's blown out of proportion for sure but the idea is one console may be a better fit for you based on your preferences and some of its exclusives. If you can only get 1 console, you have to make a choice, they are not identical but very similar I agree.

I think people should argue about games. Arguing about the console itself is dumb.

Not if it sucks!

@Litchie: like I said, dumb. The console is just the thing you play games on. It's the games themselves that suck or don't.

Sure, tell that all the good games the VirtualBoy had

@ArchoNils2: We are not spending our whole day on here arguing about the Virtual Boy though. We are arguing about Xbox, Playstation and PC. And I suppose a small minority also throw the WiiU in there as well. All of these systems are fine and capable of having good games. The games are the only thing that matters.

This has ALWAYS been Nintendo's downfall. I remember NES, SNES, GC, and ESPECIALLY N64 games that were still full price when comparable games would eventually drop to less than half price or even more. Nintendo keeps those premium prices on both their games and consoles. I mean, sure, I get the fact that they want to charge a premium price for their products since they believe them to be worth those prices, but I ALSO feel that is a large reason why Nintendo has lost sales, even when they have been on top.

If they would have better sales, bundles, or just drop prices of their games they would easily sell more product and be more competitive. I have heard they plan on switching to a Western pricing theme and marketing ploy this generation, so I guess we shall see. I am stoked for the NX.. better online (I hope it's pay to play), rumored comparable power, and carts making a console return. If they get pricing and sales right, this could be the first time since the SNES that Nintendo is my top console again. I am tired of SONY and MS's crap. They have all the potential and chances in the world and continue shoveling out over rated, over hyped bs. They are so out of touch it isn't even funny. Sure, Nintendo is out of touch too (in different ways), but if they can bring it all together and bring with it a Western mind set? Game over.

As far as getting a pre-owned Wii U. Well, I'm not sure what the price of one is, but let me suggest Super Mario Maker, that game is amazing, and pure skill based if you are a Mario fan in the least.

I mainly post here out of habit, and reminisce about the good old days around these parts. Most of the people I hung out with and have on my lists here have been gone for years now. Still, this is the best place left to still post here. I don't think very many of us still post here for the amazing dialogue... lol (understatement of the year award) HOWEVER, the number one reason I think a lot of us (myself included) still post here and check back on a regular basis is because this is actually one of the more informative places on the web when it comes to rumors, leaks, and speculation since many people do everything they can to scour the corners of the internet to try and find dirt on another persons console or platform of choice. This is a boiling pot for all other sites rumors and compilation of bs as well... lol. It's like a party everyone is invited to, but only the sadomasochists arrive to argue and debate about things that nobody else cares about. The thing is, in that process many things are revealed here that you just can't find anywhere else. ;)

The gamers.

Hopefully Black Friday has some good deals- $200 with a game or two?

Your new avatar is creeping me out

On topic, the System war hasn't been a real thing for generations now imo. Gaming can be accomplished on any of the available systems and as in any subjective entertainment there is no such thing as BEST because it is by nature subjective to each individual's tastes.

@GarGx1: That doesn't do much if you don't prefer to game on PC.

Where will you find room for 2018 in your signature?

The whole System Wars thing is bullcrap. But, that's why we're here. We like bullcrap. ;) Otherwise, it wouldn't be the most popular section of the GS forums.

You back the wrong horse in a race you lose your money.

@GarGx1: The PC isnt a horse its about 6 different horses. Its not backed by one company.

I dunno, I'm gonna need a bigger banner...

@inso-maniac:

Yeah , because Nintendo is out of console wars as we know it with NX and with X1 having zero exclusives to brag about ... console wars based on exclusives now is a BS !! Rofl! Where are the epic "PS4 has no games" topics of 2 years ago sheep were making everyday based on Wii Us exclusives. Where are the lems topics about PS4 having zero AAA exclusives ? Haha !

Anyways , whatever. Thats why i love SW !

Both consoles r shit tbh except nintendo. PC is the obvious winner and PS4 imo has a superior future lineup over xbox

6 winners from one race! You can't lose on PC.

I agree, which is why I'm primarily known as a hard core PC gamer, but I own consoles as well.

@GarGx1: Except alot of them are not winning. AMD for an example.

@Quicksilver128: No AMD, no consoles but I guess they do make a habit of coming second.

I'm fairly hopeful that their new Vega CPU's will present at least a little competition for Intel. I've been Intel/Nvidia since the Athlon days ended but competition is far better than a monopoly.

It's like you stumbled into weight room and said "working out is dumb".

What was your point?
