Grant Taylor asks: Is it healthy to try to game on every platform, or is it time to pick one format and stick with it?
With so many anime games these past couple of years, there's a growing, noticeable pattern in these games that are growing stale — the Arena Fighter.
I think Arena Fighters are the worst fighting subgenre to go to. Why havent the west gotten Shonen Jump games in the style of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2? Or Anime fighter like DBZ Fighterz but not just dragon ball? Arena Fighters just arent very good fighter imo. Even the best Arena Fighter series Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm I feel is pretty mediocre as a fighting game
We need more AAA anime games that are single player story driven, like you are experiencing another arc or something within that show. It's either fighting games or games that feel shallow with not much going for them, the kind which are made for the sake of it because the fanbase will eat it up anyway.
I want to see a proper well made game by great studios of Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Dirty Pair Flash etc
Steel Mantis proves there's more than one way to rock.
Helldivers 2's SEAF Artillery is one of its most cerebral side objectives, but only if players take the time to make it worthwhile strategically.
Healthy?
PC is too expensive
Better stick to 2 consoles that do 90% of the same that cost me more than a high end PC including md gen upgrades too
Not really. For me, it is about the games. This generation has seen a lot of games come to PC because of how niche they were on consoles. I am not a fan of mainstream titles, so it doesn't matter if I get to play the Uncharteds or the God of War games or Gears of Wars or whatever MS publishes these days, but games like Nier: Automata, Nioh, Yakuza etc wouldn't have come to PC in earlier generations and those games I have adored this gen
Yes PS4 has those odd exclusives like Bloodborne, Persona 5 (PLEASE SEGA MAKE THIS HAPPEN ON PC), Resogun, Spiderman (Yes I know tropey open world, but good Spiderman story after a long time) a few others that I would love and hence own a PS4.
But if I were to choose one platform, it would either be PS4 or PC.
As for Switch, I am kind of mixed on it, because portability doesn't appeal to me and the games I really want on the Switch (Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3 and SMTV) haven't released and don't even have a release date.
Hey gamer, Don't worry about it. Do what you can do and have fun.
"At the moment, I use Xbox for exclusives and multiplayer, PS4 for exclusives and single player, and PC for miscellaneous bits and pieces. Can I narrow it all down to PS4? Xbox One?"
Why not narrow down to PC and PS4? You have the vast majority of games covered with those (outside of Switch). If you already have a gaming PC then Xbox One is largely redundant hardware and you are not limited to just to Microsoft's marketplaces. PC opens up a whole new avenue for gaming.
