Anyone here play video games?
-
I was kinda disappointed with the Xbox One presentation. I want a console that focuses on gaming, not a multimedia console. In addition the current X360 has nowhere near as good an offer in Europe when it comes to mulitimedia as it has in the US, and I suspect it will be the same with the new XBO. Anyways, I have an old laptop that works great for mulitimedia.
And I have absolutely no interest in a need to be always connected to Kinect (kinected?) Xbox. Just give me a good hand controller. I am old school dagnabbit!
There is also the problem that games are tied to your account and if you borrow a disc from a friend you have to pay (full price?) to play it on your account. I am sure Microsoft has made it so to discourage second hand buying and selling of games, but it’s just not gamer friendly. And then there is the need to at least be connected to the net at least once a day…
So, I’m definitely going to buy the PS4, which seem to be a much more gamer oriented console. I might buy the XBO if it has some must have exclusives, like Mass Effect. And I’m not even considering the Wii U.
On another topic: I agree with derivative666 and Qinhan. Play Bioshock Ininite!

WiiU is and will be the last real console out there. PS4 and X-Bone are just mid-end gaming computers imho.
I use my WiiU when I have some spare time, but mostly play Wii Games on it as I never had a Wii. Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Xenoblade, etc. I am quite a Nintendo-fanboy but feel let down by N for not putting out some real exclusives in the first few months of the consoles life. The new VC is great and I think it's cool that the titles run in 60Hz-mode now, Super Metroid on the gamepad is amazing. Still I wouldn't mind a new Mario or Zelda. Hopefully the new Mario-title will really come out at the end of this year, Nintendo Direct or E3 will tell us more (hopefully). Pikmin 3 will be released during summer holidays as well, never played the part 1 or 2, but the concept really looks like a lot of fun.
I don't really see a point in owning a PS4 or X-Bone early in their lifecycles unless some nice games are released, as I have quite a decent gaming rig.

Cannot stop playing Minigore 2 on my iPad

Anyone else playing The Last of Us? Finding it to be so good… going to try and platinum this game - probably one of the most realistic games I've ever played. Smart AI, realistic and grisly violence, meaningful dialogue - and some of the best graphics I've ever seen, for real.
Haven't even tried the multiplayer yet but this will likely be one of my new go-tos.
Once I'm done with this in a few months I'm feeling a return to Borderlands 2 for another playthrough and some of the better DLC.

Just traded in my Xbox 360. I was new to the Xbox thing. Loved Halo but, nothing else really tickled my fancy tried some left 4 dead and gears of war. Got $270 store credit. $100 down on PS4 and bought Last of Us, Black Ops 2, Ni No Kuni and some Super Hero Squad game for Jake. I could never get used to the 360 controller and I am not a fan of Microsoft. I guess when all is said and done. I am a Nintendo fanboy and I really like playstation.
Best part was throwing on some COD and getting back to my old form immediately. Love ps controller my K/D ration 1.95 on PS, on 360 it was .56

I'm with you Jeff - always had a X360 and rarely played anything - about 2 years ago I got a PS3 and play regularly now. I too am considering trading the 360 in while they are offering so much credit. Definitely getting the PS4 at this point - will most likely be sleeping on the Xbox One - along with everyone else!
By the way beat TLOU last night - hands down it's up there with the best games I've ever played. So much good stuff in the last year between Borderlands, TLOU, Bioshock Infinite… still haven't played Dishonored even.

@simon626:
I know it's mostly adults on this forum, but do any of you guys play video games?
I've been playing video games since the 1970s and have no intention of stopping. The Secret World is my occasional home from home.

You didn't like the vita Jeff? It seemed super cool. I kinda wanted it even though I haven't played portables in a while

As far as I am concerned the only way to go with portable is Nintendo
