THeres nothing wrong with that, but what are these shovelware games that started on PS2? because unless im mistaking i dont remember seeing a biggest loser, a fireplace simulator, generic tennis game 8, the bachelor, Glee or anything like that on PS2. You might not care for those cinematic games and what not, but too sit there and act like there wasnt butt loads of games coming out for PS2 all the time is just false. find me a year not counting the 1st where the PS2 was not receiving games of import. Yes PS2 had its "shovelware" but they got great 3rd party support form every genre at the time. You cant say that for me. What has come out this year?? a 2d platformer that bombed, a Mario Sports game made by SE of all people and thats it. If thats not a drought i dont know what is. Have you ever thought that people whine about Wii's release schedule because it stuffing most of your good games at the tail end of the year sucks??? No other console on the market has that problem right now. it isnt some conspiracy against Wii people are complaining cause there annoyed |
No I don't like "Ninty consoles" I like games... and I said last gen blew, that goes for all consoles because everyone lost their way. It was a lot of redundant games, basically the same stuff that was started in the PS1 and N64 era, just big publishers were trying to make the same game only "better" while small companies tried to copy the big guys, and thus we had a long period of "dark" and "moody" games like Warrior Within and Jak 2 or GTA clones.
As for this year I'm liking De Blob 2 and Lost in Shadow as well as a couple of Wiiware titles and my backlog from over the holidays, for this year my PS3 has been playing Little Big Planet 2, no real "new" games just my backlog on it, some UNS2, and downloading Xenogears to get prepped for Xenoblade, other than that I've been finding PS1 titles to play on my PS3 like Crono Cross. Yeah I tried Homefront, Killzone 3, and Marvel vs Capcom 3... only game I enjoyed out of the three was MvC3 and I had my fill since it's a hybrid of MvC2 and TvC and doesn't play as well as either.
So in essence this year has been rather barren for home consoles, though technically I've been playing them a lot just with my old games, though if anything is my next purchase it would have to be Need for speed Shift 2 as I really enjoyed the first one, but it flew under the radar so quick I didn't even know it was out last week.
What I have been spending my time on this year has been the slew of amazing handheld titles that have come out from Pokemon to Okamiden to 999 and now 3DS Street Fighter IV, Pilotwings, Steel Diver, Face Raiders, AR games, Mii Plaza (seriously the RPG game for tag mode is addictive), and Ridge Racer 3D.
So yeah it's all about the games with me and to be honest 2011 has been rather weak for everyone home console wise >_> but this is why I own all current gen consoles I'll always have something new to play that fits my tastes or I'll have enough in my backlog to keep me busy for a while.
Demographics, games for certain groups, there's gaps for everyone especially depending on perspectives, yaddah yaddah, people should just chill and not whine especially if you don't own said console, if you do own said console and you aren't buying the games, then don't whine, if you own the console and games you enjoy aren't coming out, buy some games on another console you own while you wait, thats the whole reason people say one console of either PS3 or 360 plus Wii gives you the whole package, if one isn't coming out with something the other is, if all three in this case are pretty lacking, check out getting a handheld, if you've got enough money to afford every new game and then the time to play them then I salute you, you have no life and probably get your funding from something other than work, so only if you fit in that slim demographic should you have a reason to whine about new games not coming out.
Being a gamer for 20 years kinda makes me used to not having much new to play at the start of the year, this is why you don't trade in your good shit to companies like gamestop lol
