CarrionCrow: It's weird, but for all the ways Nintendo isn't "catching up" with the rest of the industry, I still like them a lot because they care about GAMES.
Not social garbage, not streaming, not multiplayer with morons, not making deals and trying to include everything under the sun into their consoles, just actual frigging good games.
adaliabooks: Yeah. I love all the PC games I've gotten back into... but having just watched that there are more games that I can really get excited about than any of the new releases here. It's just a shame console games are still so expensive.
They are catching up (slowly), there was some kind of Pokemon puzzle game that seems to be free to play (with real money purchases to speed up your progress). Not sure whether it's a good thing they are doing it, but I suppose it shows they do realise what's going on in the wider gaming world.
Yeah, PC can't cover everything, and it never will, for better and worse.
Think I'm going to draw the line at my GOG wishlist then start focusing on whichever console (about 85 percent chance of it being some kind of DS and/or Wii-U) has the most games that I want and digging through the bargain bin to build up a library of those.
Right now, I've got a 360 in the other room that I never use. I never use it because it overheats like it's about to catch fire and spontaneously combust, even after me babying the crap out of it.
Also, I kinda hate Microsoft in general.
And Sony's not any better, ultimately. They're still going for the more graphics, more online crap, more money approach and there's no way in hell I'm dropping 400 dollars for a PS4 console so I can have the privilege of dropping 60 dollars a game whenever something comes out that I actually want. (Which right now would stand at a whopping ONE title.)
