What has this gen. taught you?

Holding off on launch systems? Waiting for price drops? Don't believe hype? No such thing as 3rd party "exclusive" anymore? Stupid DLC that comes out after you initially purchased the game?

never, ever, buy a console at launch again. ever.

Don't believe hype?fourseamer4

Stupid DLC that comes out after you initially purchased the game?

Hype is bad. Reviewers and gaming media are clowns.Generic is overused. Overated has lost all meaning now.

That what goes around comes back around :twisted:

Don't buy a system at launch, don't believe the hype, rehashing ideas is cool as long as the final product has pretty graphics, waiting for a price drop, stupid DLC that doesn't add much at all to the game but cost like 10 bucks), If all else fails rely on gimmicks, GameStop is really a joke when it comes to buying/selling games, fanboys are idiots

People are okay with buying faulty hardware since it comes with an extended warranty.:roll:

Don't fall into the hype about a console processing power (PS3 I am looking at you)

well i was referring to games, but yes, i would have prefered to have a 60GB version of the ps3 over the current 80GB i have

This gen taught me that:

Graphics > Gameplay

Hardcore Gaming means playing Shooting games online over and over again or spending half or your life in an MMO.

wait for the GOTY edition

its taught me to buy more games

Stick with Nintendo. they remember that games are about funshadow_hosi

Sony fanboys can't argue and have to hide behind the PC...

Don't have characters ask if you remember themif no one knows who the devil he or she is. It always ends up a hilarious internet meme.

What I learned from this gen was that no matter what if it's on PS3 or deals with the PS3 directly, it's bad(i.e. Great exclusives, $400 is suddenly too much for a PS3 but not too much for a 360).

Metroid: Other M(2010). Nintendo randomly threw in a black guy asking "Remember me?" into the game's trailer but no one knows who he is. He's now been dubbed the Mysterious Black Dude, MBD for short.

This and:

DD is the devil and it is taking consoles too.

it hasnt taught me anything, but it has made me happy because i knew the plastation was crap when the first one came out, and this gen has just proved it.

never, ever, buy a console at launch again. ever.

its taught me that greatness will always be great, PS1 was king, PS2 was king, and now PS3 is king, i dont care if poor people from the south and midwest buy more 360 arcades from walmart for 200 bucks and then buy 2 games in 3 years, PS3 is , was and always will be KINGyobanitvar

:lol: Now that's funny. Anyway my lesson is to never get sucked into hype, whether it's a console or games.
