LH: "In less than a month, the next generation of video game consoles will be upon us. Doubtlessly you’ve already spent plenty of time deciding which console is best for you — but have you considered holding off altogether? Here are five reasons why you’re probably better off waiting at least a year."

I could also give 5 reasons to blow me but it's not as much fun as not blowing me, right?

Who WOULDN'T want to buy the next-gen console first day? Maybe some CAN'T but I have still yet to hear of someone who doesn't want to.

a man has waited longer than usual and has had a PS3 since near launch (6 1/2 years!) he is ready for next gen.

MAULxx3821d ago

There you are Jaqen_Hghar.
I would like to play multiplayer with you just to here you refer to yourself in 3rd person. I think that would be hilarious.

At this point it seems most of the news is going round & round in circles.

tdogchristy903822d ago

You can count me as one that doesn't want to. That's not to say I'm not looking forward to it, I've just never been one to buy things until I have a logical reason to do so. So for me it's not that I don't want one, it's just not logically reasonable yet. When mirrors edge that'll change though, it's my jumping off point. Can't wait for that game!

i feel ya. nothin is ever going to stop me on a day one new generation. ive gamed for 30 years. sega genisis, saturn, ps1, dreamcast, original xbox, 360, vita and ps4 all day one. fk the dumb shit

I DON'T WANT A NEXT GEN CONSOLE YET.

With all of the games I have on 360 and PS3 I have no need for a next gen console yet. As a matter of fact, no one really does.

Until there are titles I want to play I'm not buying a new system "Just because". Piss your money away but I'm not.

Don't need another Assassin's Creed, or another Killzone, or another COD/Battlefield release.

Bimkoblerutso3821d ago

I actually agree with you. I'm very excited about next-gen, but the LAUNCH of next-gen is not all that exciting to me.

I'll get them in the coming months sometime.

1. doesn't matter
2. doesn't matter still getting it.
3. doesn't matter can't convince me or anyone else otherwise (who have it pre ordered)
4. doesn't matter what you try and say 400$ is an amazing deal for a new console.
5. doesn't matter 50+ games by end of march on PS4.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo49m ago(Edited 48m ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6939m ago(Edited 39m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos6h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger885h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
