Yep the next gen consoles looks quite bleak espically the Xbox One due to DRM and game restriction and online connect
Ps4 looks a little bit better but there might be be something similar to that and I hate the DualShock controller its too small and brittle and not robust enough.
My favoutite controllers where the original Xbox and N64 controllers they where built like a truck very strong and robust.

PC has upcoming exclusives thing like Rome 2, Company of heroes 2, Legacy of the void, ect.

Also people are saying the Last of us the greatest game of all time Ive played it when I went to JB it had on display so you could play the game for a little while and it was mediocre it was too cutscene based forgettable characters and bland level design like use ladders 15 billion times.
The game defintly dosent deserve a 10.

We already had the bash Xbox One/E3 thread....that I made. Let's not do it again.

To summarize my points from that thread: The Xbox One isn't terrible, Microsoft is just being stupid. The PS4 is superior.

As for PC vs. consoles, PC is a lot more expensive to get into the great games. A good PC is 2-3 time more expensive than a PS4 will be. And for that, I will forever be a console gamer. And I grew up playing on a PC. I just can't afford what it would cost to get a PC that can play all those games I love. Plus, I already own those games on consoles, so what's the point of buying them again?

I have mostly abandoned PC gaming, and I haven't looked back. PS4 4 lyfe!

Dude, I used XB1 to refer to the third Xbox. When I refer to the first Xbox, I either call it Xbox or Original Xbox. I refer to the 360 as I just did.

EDIT: And I just read the rest of your post. It's sad that you go into a flaming tangent like that so many times that I expect something other than what you posted.

For some reason I lol'd at Punisher's post. It does cover up pretty much everything that's wrong with XBox One. But I doubt the PC, at least by itself, is gonna destroy gaming consoles. Their goal this entire time has been to create a hybrid between between TV, PC and gaming consoles. Not gonna take many years anymore, for that goal to come to fruition.

PCs will never defeat consoles.

Some game developers don't like designing their games for PC because everyone's computer is different and has different equipment, so they know some people wouldn't be able to enjoy their games. But they know exactly what consoles are capable of. There's slightly more of a market in consoles.

And it also goes back to cost. Not everyone is rich. A decent gaming PC can cost nearly $1000 while a console is $500 or less. Consoles these days can do most things a PC can do. So people would buy a console over a PC.

PC exclusives are usually better I mean every is saying the last of us is greatest game made I tried it at jb hi fi and it was a cutscene shootfest and isn't that girl off like juno or something IM MEAN SERIOUSLY they couldnt find anybody better it reminds me of Blizzard fire the orginal voive actor for Kerrigan replacing her with some Hollywood "Barbie Princess" or rubbish like that.

Naughty dog along with Gearbox are someone of the crappiest devolpers.

PC's are more powerful and offer more different experiences than consoles can.

But they aren't as user friendly and aren't (typically) going to be hooked up to a 40" tv in front of the sofa, and therefore will not destroy next-gen consoles.

Nah, we get the Steam Box and it makes Microsoft and Sony go bankrupt.

I like how Microsoft realized they ducked up and changed their minds, but I think it's too little, too late. I'm still getting PS4

Also @ThePunisher, prices of the consoles might be different where you are from. Here, the PS3 was 600 on release, which is a lot, but still cheaper than a good PC was.

From what I understand on what Microsoft announced today, the games won't be required to be installed on the hard drive anymore. And they won't restrict used games anymore.

They also got rid of the always online thing and 24 hour check in.

At least they listened to their customers, which was a good move.

But then again they can just Turn their heads again just like what they did here.

In my my onpion the Xbox brand atleast until now have always been better then The PlayStation brand I seriously hope they don't ever even think about putting any sort of DRM on the next gen console other PC all the way.

Xbox is indeed a good brand, but I honestly no longer believe that it's better than Playstation. BTW I've never owned a Playstation console before. Sony just seems to do things so much better. PSN > Xbox Live in most ways. Free games are great. But Microsoft is doing other things that makes the PS just look even better. Even though they went back on their DRM and used games stuff, they're still shunning Indie games, which PS will have tons of.

I can't explain fully why the PS3 > 360 because I've never owned the PS3, I just go off of my friend's experience with both consoles, and my own experience with the 360. Sony won me over

I don't even know where this abomination called XBox came from. I know nobody who ever owned one! It just suddenly jumped out to my eyes from the depths of the Internet, and people went nuts over how good it was. From what I've seen, XBox has never even had that good of a game library. Only good games were those which were also available for PlayStation. Sure, PS3 sucked balls for the whole time it existed. Only game I eagerly expected for it was Red Dead Redemption. But PSX & PS2 had some of the best games ever. Especially the ones developed by Naughty Dog, OI, Insomniac and Rockstar. Even Sucker Punch made some good games for those two.

No bloody way Naughty dog are one of the worst devolopers I think remember playing crash banicoot on PS1 at someoneelses elses house I think it may been Ian one my brother friend It was literally a Mario/sonic ripoffd trust mell more of enough those.

The Original Xbox was Remebered as the "Cool Console" the PS2 on the other was considered the the Shovelware console.

XBox in general. I think the World would have been better off without it. The whole console nitpicking began all over again after XBox came around.

Typical XBox games. None of them are even close to being good games. Just crappy FPS stuff, mostly. Neither PlayStation nor XBox ever got an FPS right, unless you count the copies from SNES, or something.

Weird you consider something like Halo good, but Naughty Dog's games bad. Shows you have no sense at all, about games in general. Saying that, you lost all the respect the gamer in me had for you.

That's interesting you say that. I don't know a single person who owns an XBox. It's always been about PlayStation over here. Heck, PlayStation is what brought home gaming to Finland. Very few played video games over here before that. PlayStation has sold way better than the XBox around the world, too. I think what you meant when you said "XBox is the cool console" is actually "XBox is the snob console".

Yes I halo is a bit overated TODAY but back in the day back 2001/2002 it was god like Heck why do you think Killzone was made for the PS2 because PS2 needed a FPS killer app in which it failed until.
And plus I doubt you EVER had respect for me
Naughty Dog are crap and overated I would like to visit there studio along with gearbox bash some sense in to them(WELL NOT REALLY BASH BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
Not to mention the PS2 one of the worst controllers ever along with the rest of the PS consoles.

* The only thing I find revolutionary about Halo is that it had vehicles in a console FPS and awesome controls.

* Skull can't be more right. You're living proof of a gaming newfag who's only praying the games/consoles you bought/played yourself and hating on everything else.

* I hardly believe you "were around" during the N64/Playstation1 times. If you were, you would think different.

* Personally I think the Dual Shock for the Playstation 1 and 2 is great. I don't like the R2/L2 buttons on the DS for the PS3 as they're slippery. They are certainly not "the worst controllers ever" as you claim.

They did. People over here just had enough sense still back then to actually do something else than spend each waking hour sitting in front of the television.

Also name me ONE good Naughty dog game.

Pretty much every game series they ever made. Each Naughty Dog game series was awesome, until they sold it to another company. After that, they turned to crap. That alone shows how awesome of a game developing company they were. Only game series I really don't like from them, is Uncharted. That one is more to your typical movie-like nowaday game, with nothing interesting.

Meh. That controller looks overly complicated. I much prefer a simple, easy-to-hold, user friendly controller. I don't care how "badass" it looks (btw, that controller doesn't even look badass. It looks fat & ugly). Also, saying a controller is made for little girls just makes you look stupid, and sexist both ways.

The rest of your post is just your typical babbling about how you know everything better than others and how you're so cool. I hope you are not expecting me to reply to that crap.

that reminds of George Lucas with Star Wars but then again atleast George Lucas WAS good at one point Naughty Dog never were.

Actually, that just proves they're unselfish. They made a series, felt they had done everything they could with it, sold it for a good price and moved on. The fact that Naughty Dog has sold their series is nothing unusual. Every big company does it. That's how business runs. It nohow proves Naughty Dog makes bad games. Their games are some of the most sold ever.

Lol, obviously you would say the exact opposite. So like you. I was actually thinking to myself just a while back: "Punisher is probably gonna say Uncharted is the best Naughty Dog has put out and the rest suck". You're hilariously predictable.

Never said the PlayStation controller looked badass. I just said I didn't care about how badass the controller looks. I don't care how it looks at all, actually.

I love when I go to bed I miss out on a good debate. I need to throw in my two cents about a couple things.

Halo was shoot. Revolutionary? God no. You wanna know the real revolutionary FPS games? Doom 1 & 2. HALF LIFE 1. Those games were absolutely amazing. Halo to me is nothing more than a generic FPS game with crappy sci-fi elements. (And I've played both Halo 3 and the re-mastered Halo 1 for 360) The only credit I will give to Halo, is for being the first major FPS game ever on a console. But Halo is one of the most overrated franchises I've ever seen, second only to Call of Duty. Oh my god it doesn't get more generic than CoD. Every game is the exact same, just with prettier graphics. I refuse to ever touch a CoD game again.

The Fable series is amazing, some of the better games I own on my 360. Own 2 and 3, and look forward to seeing the re-master of 1 coming out.

Playstation is overall more successful than the Xbox, partly because the Xbox just fails in the Japanese market, which hurts the sales quite a bit. Xbox only succeeds because it appeals more to the American gamer. With its generic shooters. I was reading up on console stuff yesterday, the PS2 sold more consoles than ANYTHING ever did. 150 million units or something like that. Microsoft isn't even close. Never will be.

Crash Bandicoot was amazing. It was a rip-off of Mario, but to me it was just better, because it was 3D. TBH I never really cared for Mario, I'm a hardcore Sonic fan.

While I've never played any games by Naughty Dog, I've heard nothing but praise for the Uncharted series, and The Last of Us. Rockstar's only good franchise IMO is GTA. Which is why they rip themselves off with Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire. 2K has Borderlands, and that's about it. I think Valve and id make some of the best games, Rage is amazing, and lately I've been loving Crytek. Crysis is a great trilogy.

That first Xbox controller is a monstrosity. What the hell?!

I think that's everything I needed to say.

EDIT: Sega Genesis and Dreamcast for life! Love my Dreamcast, still own one

Nope WRONG! AGAIN that just proves careless they are with them a way to end a franchise is to end on a "HIGH NOTE" then let it rest in peace not allow someone else to sh!t all over it but then again the franchise wasn't good to begin with Maybe they eveb relized it was crap a bunch of bloody hypocrites.
Your saying every big company does it Nintendo dint sell Mario metoid Zelda or anyother of their franchises
Epic games didn't sell unreal series to anybody
Ubisoft hasn't sold the Asassins creed series to anybody neither the Tom Clancy games or Prince of Persia
EA hasn't sold off the Battlefield or Medal of Honor series
Blizzard hasn't sold off Warcraft Diablo or StarCraft series

No I never said it was ONLY about the looks Now your just putting words in my mouth which is rude I like the Xbox controller because Larger more Robust design and less slippery along with the looks.

You're the one putting words into my mouth. I never said I thought the PS controller looked badass, yet you claimed I did. You are also only talking about the looks of the controller, making it extremely clear you only care about its outside appearance. If this isn't the case, as you claim, then why the hell do you keep talking about its looks and design?

Looks of a controller are unimportant. It's just how unwieldy it is. Large controllers are just awkward. Take the Dreamcast controller for instance. (If you've ever even held a DC controller lol) The DualShock has something right, which is why its design hasn't changed much since the PS1 came out in 1995. Why it's still the same basic controller 18 years later with the PS4. Besides the shiny new touch pad which I really don't get tbh.

And of course we all ignore my debate spawning material

"too small and brittle and not robust enough."

Still sounds more like appearance problems rather than actual usage problems to me. It's not like the controller's gonna break unless you throw it at a wall or something. And whether it's a good size just depends on the size of your hands.

Both of you argue like a married couple. Both sides have their own opinions and neither side is right. Or wrong. Everyone will find one thing or another that they don't like about some stupid little thing.

That's all I have to say about that.

The console DOES matter if the console is required to be online, won't let you play the game on a console at a friends house or anywhere else, never let you borrow/lend the game, or sell your game back EVER, watches you 24/7, makes you sacrifice a virgin...oh wait.

At least Microsoft changed their minds, so at this point it doesn't really matter, besides a $100 difference

What about used games?

And mandatory installs?


Sarcasm. Steam IS a giant DRM, one that spies not only on what games you play, but also what you do in them, that requires you to register games online, and although you can (after registering once) play games in offline mode, the offline mode sometimes fails so that you have to log onto the steam network periodically anyway.

Unfortunatelly, most people really don't seem to mind. This generation of consoles would have gotten away with hideous DRM too, if Sony had just followed suit. On that matter, no need to praise Sony too much; it's a brilliant marketing move on their part, they didn't leave DRM out because they're just so much more noble and moral.

Also, something that I think hasn't been mentioned about DRM yet... DRM is a symptom, not a cause: Console piratism is, as far as I know, a relatively small problem currently, but companies are rightly afraid that it will grow bigger. On PCs, of course, piratism is rampant.

So, while I hate and boycott DRM, hating the companies for implementing it as money-grubbing, immoral corporate donkeys is incredibly hypocritical. It's your own ducking fault, stop pirating games.

Video game piracy is gonna save the gaming industry one day. No more crappy games with good graphics and nothing else. Games will again actually be developed by people who like to create games. Not people who do it for money.

We should shift this into being about the games we're excited for. Personally I'm really looking forward to Watch_Dogs. Though I have a lingering interest in Saints Row IV after my friend let me borrow the second and third one. I find it hilarious and strange how they've moved from a game about gangsters taking back control of their city, to said gangsters become rulers of the world having to defend it from an alien invasion. So, that looks rather interesting to me. I'm not sure what to think of Mad Max yet. Also, Beyond Two Souls looks really cool in terms of cinematic experience, but I'm not sure what to think of it besides that.

Recently I borrowed a bunch of games from my friend. Left Four Dead, Deadrising 2, Resident Evil 5, Saints Row II, Saints Row III, Mafia II, Fable II, and Alan Wake. Oh, and my brother borrowed Far Cry 3 from one of his friends and I've been playing that like mad. Deadrising 2 was fun until I realized everything was timed and then I hated it. Left Four Dead seems like it's most fun when playing with other people. Saints Row II was rather boring, though the third one is pretty rad. Mafia II is either really fun, or really annoying. I've already beaten Fable II before, and I own the third so I was just playing it for nostalgic purposes. I beat Alan Wake, and I even got The Signal DLC for free and beat that. That game is hard. Also frightening. Though it's really good. Far Cry 3 is just awesome.

Watch Dogs was one of the games that grabbed my attention the most at E3. It looked like a Grand Theft Auto type game, but focusing around advanced hacking tech and being sneaky, which just seemed very cool to me. And the concept of the multiplayer was fascinating, you "hack" into another players game and try to get them killed before they know you're there and they kill you. Definitely a game I want to try.

Thief looks incredible, a FPS stealth game. Which is how I play my Skyrim

Destiny: MMOFPS Borderlands-type sci-fi, it looks really cool.

I'm really excited for the next gen games. (My list of games of interest is at nearly 20 titles.) I really can't wait until November.

As for current gen games I've played lately, I only really played some Fable 3, since it became free on Xbox Live. Felt like replaying it. Still love it, still kinda bored of it lol. And I still need to play more Dragon Age so I can return it to my friend someday.

I'm spending too much time making a D-Mod to play my 360 as of late.
