Sony: The Last, Best Hope for Gamer-Kind

[QUOTE="GaMeR_Willz"]

PlayStation seems to be the only "hardcore" platform right now.

Did you know that the Xbox 360 is going downhill and turning casual now? Xbox is all about Kinect now...

Just 1 game. :lol:

[QUOTE="GaMeR_Willz"]

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]That's an uninformed assessment. Every system has games that cater to both hardcore gamers and casuals.

Nope, I'm not that dumb. I was talking about exclusives, not multiplats. Multiplats sucks anyway with all of those low framerates and bugs.

Sony is no better or worse than Micosoft.

At the start of the gen Lems made fun of cow cuz the playstation had no AAAe and the cow said it didnt matter cuz of all the great multiplats

6 years later the same fight is going on but on opposite sides of the argument

Sony cares about you as if it were your own mother :o no, really !! :twisted:

Hello Mcfly ??? :P

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]Did you know it still has PS3 and PC multiplats? Did you know the Wii has hardcore dungeon crawlers and SRPGs that aren't talked about much in mainstream gaming forums like this one? For your sake I hope you don't just go by what you read on sites like System Wars for your gaming info.

Rofl, you just relied on someone's opinion and then flamed back at me. Good call, dumbass.

Go and buy both consoles, and buy all of their exclusives, and then you'll see the light of truth.

Indeed, thats why I sold my XBOX360 and kept my PS3 but I don't think Nintendo has abandoned their core userbase like Microsoft. I've actually always wanted to buy a Wii for the games but the console itself has held me back.

There was no point to this. You are just stating the obvious, and all the fanboys would just blindly disagree with you and try to argue that Nintendo isn't kiddy and that MS hasn't shifted focus to casual Kinect. Of course, those arguments would get destroyed easily, but would it be worth the trouble?

Nintendo abandoned it's audience to chase soccer moms. Microsoft just recently did the same. PC gaming is eating itself from the inside out with ever increasing piracy. Sony is the only shining beacon left for core gamers. Let us give thanks.ispeakfact

Microsoft's core userbase is still with them, and being supported heavily.

Despite popular belief on this forum the majority of Xbox gamers from last gen did not rush out to buy games like Lost Odyssey, or Earth Defense Force this gen with their 360. The buying trends on the original Xbox are incredibly similar to the buying trends on the current 360. They bought WRPGs, and military games in the millions. The Kinect is an expansion into a new market, but yet practically every single non-kinect multiplat, and exclusive on the 360 is still selling millions.

It's like when people say Nintendo abandoned their core userbase, and yet when you look at their DS/Wii lineups you see a bunch of new IPs as well as old right alongside the education, and dance games. Their core userbase is still being pleased.

PS3, truthfully, is the only system that should be considered in this discussion. The PS3's lineup of games doesn't match what made the PS1 or PS2 library great. It's less about RPGs and Platformers, and more about big-budget, movie-esque games and shooters. That's not what made the PS1 and PS2 the behemoths they were at all, but they are now the biggest titles on the PS3.

[QUOTE="ispeakfact"][QUOTE="TheEroica"] I own a ps3 and i use it as my netflix/bluray, and the occassional exclusive that catches my eye. Sony has sone decent AA quality franchises but nothing to write home about... mlb the show is great. As for vita? Hahahaha... waaaaay to expensive and yeah id say the 6 figure salary i make every year is more than enough to cover my gaming needs.... the 400 id have to spend on vita will keep my 360 loaded with great games all year... bioshock, mass effect 3 halo 4 and right on in to the holidays...TheEroica

Just make sure you save over the years. There are lots of tips online about how to do a budget. I'm not sure what you will be graduating with a major in, but don't be afraid to branch out a little if you can't find somehing in your field. Also, when you look for a job, try and go for one that offers a 401k...and use it wisely.

Im not sure why you're mad at me. I'm trying to help all of you.

And Sony is going belly up...we are screw!!!

Let me know if you need anymore help, son. I know you're just starting off but would be glad to give you any pointers.

Halo 4?walkingdream

Because gaming is supposed to be all about teenagers and self-entitled elitist douche bags? Get real.Bigboi500

Well, I guess gaming is finished then. This so-called "shining beacon" Sony is bleeding debt and has an aura of uncertanty. Sony will go bankrupt, and then gaming will cease to be fun.

What a massive load of crap. So Sony is the only one responsible for gaming being good this gen? Oh yea, because im sure that launching at 600 dollars, having a joke of an online network at launch and losing nearly all their third parties from the PS2 era was good for Playstation customers? Stop being a fanboy and face facts. If Sony wasn't here, gaming would be fine. 90% of the best games today are multiplats, and just because Sony isn't here doesnt mean Bioware, Bethesda, EA, and Blizzard are going to stop making great games.

I know this sounds bad, but Im starting to hope that Sony drops out just so cows can see that there is more to gaming than Sony.Plagueless

These. What a joke of a thread.

Plus if anyone honestly think that Sony will concentrate on focusing on "Cores" constantly for next gen, then LOL. They're in the gaming division for money, just like Nintendo & Microsoft are. If it means focusing on casuals for next gen to make more money, so be it.
