Nothing new. I've refused their offerings since the PS1.

Why?

The nightmares that I still have from games like Dragonball Budokai and Devil May Cry and True Crime: Streets of LA for PS2 and Tekken 3 for PS1.

(Back in the day when everybody didn't have internet I had to judge consoles from the games that I saw other people play on them. And the games I saw on PS consoles weren't exactly giving me a good impression, so I've kinda automatically avoided them)

but didn't you say you refused them since PS1 ?

also what makes these games nightmares compared to others ? i am just wondering.

The first experience I had with the Playstations were with Tekken 3 on the PS1. I was playing it with some friends, and I wasn't used to the controller and the button combinations at all so I got my ass kicked at it and found it really boring. The controller is good if you are used to gaming, but to me at the time, it was a complex mess. 

   Fast forward to the early PS2 days with games like Dragonball budokai, with all those dreadful button combinations I had no chance in hell against people who had memorized them, and I didn't want to spend time doing it, so again it was boring me to tears. Then I saw someone playing Devil May Cry. I found the artstyle to be too "serious" and then I saw that the game used those awfully boring button combinations in single player. I just don't get the fun of pressing a long sequence of buttons. I didn't like the style of True Crime: streets of LA. It felt too seroius and too much like a bad cop movie in style. Most games I saw on the playstations were "mature games".

   Since that style of games were all I saw on the playstations, before the internet, I simply concluded that that was the only style of games that they had, and I didn't like those kinds of games, so I ignored the consoles. I hope that explains it :)
