Pros And Cons Of Buying Early
I've never bought a console at launch. I've never seen the need, I've only ever seen negatives about the experience, and that mostly hasn't changed. Waiting in long lines, sometimes out in the cold doesn't sound very fun.
A hidden mechanic determines which planets you can attack. This article explains what Supply Lines are in Helldivers 2.
"The Novosibirsk-based (Russia) indie games publisher and developer Alawar today announced with great delight and thrill tthat their necromancer sim "Necrosmith 2" is now available for PC via Steam for only $7.99 USD. Furthermore, you can also currently enjoy a 15% launch discount until April 9th." - Jona Ek, TGG.
Diablo 4 seemingly lacks Xbox achievements support on Game Pass. It will also require you to install Battle.net to play.
Lacks Xbox Achievement support? If I played on Xbox this would infuriate me. Surely it's just an error and will be rectified shortly? If they only allow Battle.net's own crappy achievements then Xbox fans need to kick up a fuss about this. I mean Microsoft own the developer.
I mean, you're always going to pay more, but that's the price you pay for being an early adopter. It's about the exciting rush of being able to play something asap.
I too have never bought a console on release date, my PS Vita was mine after 2 months of release date. Reason why? I wanted to see what games were coming out, what games were already on the console and if they were good, how the console fared a many more things. The thing is that never buy a console on release date wait a few weeks to see what other reviewers say about it.
Buying a console at all isn't worth it.
What do consoles have that a PC doesn't? (Besides some exclusives)
The idea of consoles is outdated and should come to an end.
Consoles' specs are fixed. They will not be improved until it's successor arrives, which is generally ~6 years. This halts the progress of technological advances severely in the hardware market.
If one part of the console defects, you have to get it fixed by someone else (Similar to Apple computers). If a part in a PC defects, you can simply replace it yourself or get it fixed for much less, your choice.
Some say that the plus of owning a console is that you can sit in your couch with a controller. This is also possible with a PC. Just hook it up to your TV via HDMI and reap the benefits of both console and PC.
I buy games at launch... so i wouldnt blame someone with the money if they wanted a new console day 1. As long as there are good release games that is...
Having 6 360s red ring on me i can say that being the first in line for a console is not smart.
