[QUOTE="Pug-Nasty"]

I named games I have played. Some of them may be older, but I haven't had time to play many games this past year and a half to two years. i suppose I could post a bunch of games I haven't played because they are more recent, just as you post a bunch of games you haven't played as examples of "generic" games, but then I'd be no better than you. I don't know if I could live with that.

Pug-Nasty

here's a lesson kids, if someone ur debating with answers and posts get shorter and shorter...you're winning the debate and they're grasping at straws:lol:

but yea, you played none of the totally awesome ps3 exclusives that came out last year...there were over 20 of them!!!!! none of them were good enough for you to buy and support Sony with. thats strange...were they generic or trash? or were they so great that you have to wait and compose urself first before playing them in their greatness. NONE of those 20 ps3 exclusives caught ur eye all year...hmm, odd.

you handing out stupid medals is like....etc

As I said, I don't have time. I'm not a youth living with my parents, still drinking milk from my Mother's teet.

no ur not...ur just a a dumb**** who likes posting pictures instead of actually thinking out an argument. idk...speaking of childhood, did you like picture books as a lad? that might explain a lot.

I doubt I'll be getting the PS4 unless someone gives it to me for free. I've moved to the Xbox. Much better.

What does liking picture books as a child explain exactly? Were you reading the unabridged works of Shakespear at 7?

There's no argument to be made anymroe because you've ignored every post that answered your original question. I listed games, you dismiss them as old. Other people listed games, including releases from last your. You dismissed them as old. During all this game listing, you haven't even given an example of a generic exclusive the 360 has received recently, thereby forfeiting the argument completely.

As for supporting Sony, I don't particularly consider that my job. I have a job, and I will buy the products that I want and can use. No time to play makes games coasters for the most part. Sony doesn't need my charity, and if they did I can think of better causes to give to.

Also, wooden forks are unclean as they absorb bacteria.

As long as it provide features that no other system has then I'm cool with it. Throw in several exclusive titles and I'd subscribe for another year.

but before i go, if ur so adult and have better things to do with ur time and money than playing games...why are you on this, a gaming forum, so much debating games. vigorously i might add...right now ur acting as if they're beneath you but yet ur on this forum almost daily, morning and night....odd, or hypocritical...idk, maybe just a cop out so you don't have to explain why u brought or know any of the 20 generic trash ps3 exclusives last year. b e z y'all -->>

This has got to be the no.1 thing that Lems are looking forward to next gen. Hoping and praying that Sony begins to charge for psn so they no longer have to take a beating from cows and herms.

FlamesOfGrey
Lems better hope Sony charges because the PS Vita has Party System & Cross Game Chat for free right now. If they don't charge for it on the PS4 while Microsoft still is their argument is gone pretty much.

What about all those exclusive service you think don't exist XBL has that PSN hasn't other than Cross Game chat?

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Sony charge for PSN, so that the PSN can stop losing money each year. It hurts Sony to not charge, and given their situation they probably should in order to guarantee a bit more success in the future.

I don't think that would cause me to jump ship though. I already rarely play my PS3 as is as the exclusives are quite lackluster, so I probably won't buy a PS4 for that reason (at least not right away).

I will still keep my eyes on the Vita though.

It's not about money. For this gen, atleast, Sony supports PSN in a lot more countries than MS does with XBL, if you could actually use XBL and pay with a credit card in here, I would definitely buy an xbox. And they should both add amex support.

I probably wouldn't play anything online on PS4 just like I do on my 360 now. I refuse to pay for access to play online when I'm getting no content in return for my payment. My online play would be 100% on PC if they decide to charge.

Well, I imagine one would want a like experience to the one they already enjoy, and the Xbox is, at least this gen, the closest thing to a ps3 you can get. The Wii is completely different. PC has a lot of the same games and same types of games, but as a console gamer I find playing on PC to be quite unenjoyable for some reason.

One thing I don't understand is this idea that Sony would be pressured to charge for online. It's a damn fine bullet point for them to have that PSN is free. I would think the pressure would be more on MS to make it free at this point. They have the 360 owners this gen already, but they are going to have a hard time selling that fee again next gen if they are still the only ones charging.

[QUOTE="Shielder7"]

If PS4 charges for Online will it be a deal breaker for you and cause to jump ship to either Xbox, Wii U or Steam?

I'll put up a poll tomorrow.

delta3074

well i don't play online but what would be the point of jumping fromPlaysation to xbox, jumping from one paid online to another makes mo sense besides, i get the feeling SONY would rather go bankcrupt than charge for online, everything they seem to do is pretty good for gamers but bad for there own business.

Your post...touched me.

You must have a nail in your head because no one can naturally be this stupid. Seriously there are other systems that don't charge for online like Nintendo and PC also the only reason I mentioned Xbox is because some people think Xbox live is better and if you had to chose you might go with Xbox. Why is this concept so hard to grasp?

The diehard cows would stay. The more rational will leave knowing Xbox Live is clearly the superior service without question.

Next gen, the op says PS4. hence. next gen. If sony planned to charge for PSN they'd have to massively revamp it somehow for the next playstation.

no, so we can laugh at cow hypocrites lol. most 360 users give two ****s about 50 a year and could even get Live Gold for much less than that. we just want to laugh at you and see you compromise urself for a big corporation...again ;)

I rarely pay for gold. How many new games a year do people here buy? Most of my new 360 games come with a free 30 day trial. I buy close to 10+ games, new, a year. Although not all on 360. I sperse my PS3 purchases in there as well. So I get quite a bit of the year free on live.

To me, im not a sony fan cuz of the free online. I've been a Sony Playstation fan since PS1 cuz of the franchises they offer and that hasn't changed with PS2 and PS3 and i don't see it changing with PS4....So yea next gen my primary gaming will be PC and console will be PS4

Depends. I wouldn't be happy about it but I don't see the Wii-U or next Xbox offering me anything I want over the PS4, so it's unlikely that I'd jump ship.

Same here, but it's nice to be able to go one once in awhile, but if I had to pay for it I might not since I may not use it enough to justify a monthly bill.

I think I would, I would hate to leave all my games, but because all my friends play Xbox, I wouldn't probably get that if I have to pay for online anyways.

The reason I bought a PS3 in the first place was so I could play online for free.

Because some people consider Xbox live a better service and would only pay for 1. Also Nintendo and most PC games do not charge.

Then in this case I would jump ship. Unless SONY can pull off something amazing with PSN to consider charging for it, like make it equally as good or better than Xbox Live. In my case it would be either or. I'm not down with PC gaming and I don't own Nintendo consoles and the WiiU doesn't seem to differ from that.

I usually buy all the major consoles but I have already decided to stop supporting Microsoft and Sony because of their nickel and diming, anti-consumer activities, and general inconveniences. DLC, DRM, online pass, subscription fees, backwards compatibility shenanigans, the PS3 Linux fiasco, the PSN hack, the war on used games.... I am on the fence about WiiU.
