Honestly it was Grand Theft Auto 4 for me and it was for the PS3, I sort of stopped playing consoles and started to play these small self made anime games like Naruto and Bleach for like 5 years mostly because I couldn't afford to buy a PS3 and then some of my friends were talking about GTA 4 and I started watching reviews and it was around the time the PS3 was $300 (around 2011 I think) so it was a perfect time.

Also when I saw some videos on Pokemon X & Y, the next day I bought a 3DS for it, played it for 5-6 hours then finals came  and I completely forgot about itand I still haven't even touched my 3DS since then, almost a year.

And Persona 4 Golden was the game for my Vita, I remember watching a IGN video in where Greg Miller said the best Vita game was P4G and I saw all the reviews and it looked awesome so I bought it.

inFamous Second Son for my PS4, I had bought it on launch, I literally gave in like 1 hour before the launch of PS4, after that 1 hour Spike TV special but then I got a broken one from Amazon and then the replacement PS4 I got was also broken. I was just pisssed so I said I wasn't going to buy a PS4 until a price drop because I had tons of PS3 games to play and it would last me until the PS4 got a price drop. Then I saw some gameplay and totally caved in 3 days before infamous release date.

So what was the game that pressured you into buying a console?

Pressured?  Was never pressured into anything other than myself wanting it.. Much like any console I've ever bought.. I buy because I want to and I can.  Never bought a console because of a specific game.

That's... actually what he's asking. You're just playing semantics. -__-

No.. Never bought them because of anything specific.. Unless "because I wanted to play games" is a substantial enough answer for you.  But isn't that why anyone buys a game console in the first place.  Whether I was an earlier adopter or bought it later down the road, I basically buy games just because I'm a gamer... Other than the 360 or the x1.. I've basically owned most consoles and handhelds ever released since the nes.  Maybe its the "what pressured you to get so and so?" is why I'm confused.. And why I said I've never felt pressured to buy anything other than myself wanting it.

As for your added comment.. No game really comes to mind as why I bought so and so console.  Those were just the added bonus if they had a gem(s) of a game.. I find myself enjoying quite a range of games.. Never been the type to lock in on just a few.

Lemme ask you a question.. Why do you think I was/am a backer of the ouya kick starter, or have also purchased a mojo and nvidia shield?  Or even have a raspberry pi running retropie?  Im an emu affeciando as well as just a gamer who sees value in such things that plays games.



Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..
