If you go by metascore - Go iOS - almost 800 games over metascore 80!


Having now upgraded to a "proper" phone recently....... THAT scares me...... theres over 800 mobile games with a score of over 80 on meta?

HOLY SHIT, i have played a few now, and have come to this conclusion........ 99.5% of ALL mobile games are complete SHIT.

So far, its lineup is staggeringly unappealing. I can't think of a single game that makes me want to buy the system.


Your taste does not represent the gaming community though.

I think overall, the Ps4 has the most balenced lineup. Although as for "that one game", the Ps4 lacks that so far. Only the Wii U has it IMO with Super Mario 3D World. 

Infamous came somewhat close though, I enjoyed it a lot.

Also not the games that will arrive in the next 6 months? im not gonna name them ok but if u really not gonna buy the PS4 cause of games like Bloodborne or Uncharted 4 or The order with all the 3rd party games then can i ask what on earth will make u?!!!

Bioshock Next or Monster Hunter 5 would probably sway me, in conjunction with a lower price point.

The PS4 definitely has the best library of upcoming and released games. There is no questioning that. This definitely is part of the PS4's recipe for success.

I would very much question that.

You could  question that, but then again - sales are the indication of people wanting something...and its a gaming console right? 10 million have already purchased a PS4. Just because you dont find anything of interest on there doesnt mean there is nothing of interest to play on there. OK I will say that it is missing some big blockbuster new games - it could do with a Skyrim or a Fallout... but on the whole the library isnt too bad. 

It's biggest problem (and its only a problem for some people) is that it doesnt have many games that are only running on PS4 and not PS3 as well. But that will happen through-out 2015 as companies try to get value out of both user bases, but as people move across it will become increasingly clear that last gen will no longer make much money, so they will drop it.

The end of this year is looking pretty good for PS4, AC Unity, Shadows of Mordor, Farcry 4, Driveclub, LBP, Destiny, Alien Isolation, Evil Within, COD, PES, FIFA, Dragon Age, Project Cars.... and thats just the bigger games, there are other AA games that would tickle someone's gaming side.

If there is nothing in that collection of games that is interesting, then I dont know what to say :) - perhaps buying/playing consoles early in their life isnt for you.

I also think some people moan about no games but are certainly the exception to the rule, the console attach rate right now is 3 games per console, there are definately more than 3 games to buy on the PS4 (I think i am upto 20 now with Diablo 3, Metro and Minecraft over the last few weeks). 

As I said above, I never claimed to speak for the mass market.

To me, it is. At this point, I wouldn't buy a PS4 even at half price. It does absolutely nothing to make me want it.



Best library is subjective but you cant deny that the flow of content is bigger on ps4 than any of the competitors.

Well that's all fine and dandy, but your taste does not represent the gaming community. 

 

Most people enjoy the Ps4's lineup. You state it's lineup sucks as if it were a fact. Just saying.
