Am i the only one who's infuriated by the "next-gen" mindset? Every single good game these days come out for every system or multiple systems, the sole reason being that the butt fucking pieces of shit who own the companies are only looking to furnish their wallets with more green, as if it isn't already overflowing.

The way i see it is they develop a game for one system, and then try to port it to another with as little effort as possible, this leaves the people who don't own the system it was made for feel very cheated! God forbid that they would actually create games from the ground up on each system, because that would just make too much sense and would probably result in more sales overall.

I wish that was the only problem, but now the games made exclusively for one console are so underfunded and rushed, it's just not worth buying anymore! What happened to the days where our games would last more than 6 hours and have reasons for us to replay them? There's just no value in "next-gen" and all i see is the soul-less faces of the big 3 Gaming companies looking to maximize profit an minimize work. Today's gaming industry is becoming like a robotic assembly line, cranking out the same low quality shit over and over and over again.

It's a rarity today to find a game that's actually worth the price, especially the ps3 and 360 games that are $10 more than the pc game, and for what? An inferior port of a potentially great game? No fucking way, i wouldn't buy something like that even if i had money to wipe my ass with. You know what, I'm not buying. I'm not getting one single "next-gen" console unless some changes are made. And i think the chances of that happening are about as likely as winning the lottery; impossible.

So there you have it, fuck the ps3, fuck the 360 and fuck the wii, i'm going to stick to my pc and my god damn pure value orange box.

Most games come out for consoles first. Thus, the PC version is actually the port. And as for games that only come out on one console, they are the ONLY version, so there is no "port."

You find that with most generation of video game consoles, they all have their own dry season and spells. It just so happens to be that for the current consoles so far except for the 360....
did anyone else notice the Wii's been dry for ages?
There's what, 30 games released in the western world so far?

ok console version of games are for people who have friends which you obviously dont orelse you wouldnt be complaining. and why WOULD they completely remake a game for each console? then its not the same game...idiot. and there is only two consols in the race(sorry sony fan boys, PS3 is bombing, admit it)

true it sucks that everything is so pricey and most games worth buying are one console only, but if you think about it, it really doesnt matter. because in about 5 years everything will be cheaper because of the NEW next gens. i mean i used to wish i had an x-box just for halo, and now i have an x-box, ps2, and a gamecube, and im still up to my damn ears in good games i havent played

I agree, that in and of itself is stupid.

Actually, PS3 will gain it's momentum in Spring of 2008, Wii has had nothing since it came out but Zelda and Metroid, and 360 isn't getting anything but Halo 3 in the near future.
All three are viable forms of entertainment, no matter how much you would disagree.

Those are shit examples (excluding halo, oblivion), but I guess it's more of the Sony mindset. I like stuff like Gears of War, BioShock, COD2 & 4, Halo series, Guitar Hero series, etc, etc.

Ehh, you really don't play them as much on 360. Resident Evil is on Xbox? And GTA? I never thought they were.

I think the new gen consoles are all over priced. Lets start with the WII: the only differnce in it and the game cube is the WII sticks, and that you can download old nintendo games. Wow they really did some hard work didnt they they got a new controller and are reselling old games because they cant make new ones. PS3: 1 it has a very heavy heavy heavy price tag 2 It has no variety of games 3 No Rumble!!!
And finally the Xbox360: 1 it also has a pretty steep price tag (but not as bad as the PS3) 2 the really only good titles they have are Halo and GTA 3 the original Xbox was released only a couple years back( every other year you will have to buy a new type of Xbox)

It will take 22659.252 days at the rate of 1.67 exp. per day to reach level 60. (Or 62 year(s), 755 month(s) and 9 day(s)). I will Live to see the day!!!!

Absolutely agreed, I can't wait for the day when there's only one console to rule them all.

I hope Nintendo, Sony, and Xbox fail at gaming sometime in the future.

High five! Zelda 64 rocks off socks!

The hype around next gen consoles is quite misplaced, especially seeing as the format war between HDDVD and BluRay has already begun. To me, the consoles and games are worth the money when the price is dropped (which is inevitably does). Like you say, PC versions are cheaper- but some people (like me) like to sit in the comfort of their lounge, on the couch, with mates and a big screen when they enjoy their gaming. Make sense?

I'm looking forward to buying an xbox 360 soon because the longer you can stand to leave the purchase, the cheaper the console and games are, there's a bigger variety of games made and the experience is sweeter if you have to wait. My will power is only really existant due to my lack of funds, but by the time I can afford it it will be cheaper still. Cosmic.

I miss when it was the games that made you look forward to a console, not the potential of what it could do. Now all platforms seem to share everything, ther's little uniqueness to each machine (which are actually phenominal pieces of equipment).

I take these non financially viable times to pick up cheap games for the PS2 and XBox, because I remember that although there's new hot shit out there, the old cheap ones were once great and still very playable. My trick is to be behind the times. You want to be cutting edge, you gotta pay.

All the new systems seem pretty lame to me as well. Though I won't say too much, because you gamers seem riled up about this. But, the Wii seems like it was aimed more at children and teenage girls. I don't really pay it much attention. 360 has been running for awhile now and the game selection seems pathetic, though a few gems shine through. For the most part, it seems the hunger for better graphics exceeded the demand for better gameplay. Now we can play games that are super realistic repackagings of old ideas. I have hope that PS3, which appears to be still be in the post-release game draught, will gain speed by next year. I'll stick with my DS until then.

And Halo sucks.
