Yeah it's still pretty meh for a system that has been on the market for two and a half years. And personally i'm not into games like Bloodbourne and Infamous was good but not great.
Still waiting for that big new exclusive IP/ franchise.

That's just your opinion and doubt you've even played half of the games in OP, I list games newcomers could be interested in.
Ratchet&Clank, Until Dawn, Driveclub and Tearaway Unfolded have been pretty amazing btw.
Ratchet is still GOTY (until I play UC4).
I agree with your rule. About 5, 6 games which are worth buying is enough to me to buy a console. Sadly the PS4 still don't fulfill that requirement imo. I'm not interested in UC games, I'm just interested in Bloodborne and R&C. Maybe in the future!
Ahaha, I decide when I feel a console is worth it for me, and so far I feel the PS4 is still not worth it. The games just aren't doing it for me. I'm sure they'll release games that interest me in time though.
Dance my pretties!

| Turkish said: The division is just there separating the bigger indies from the smaller ones, even though technically both lists include indies. SOMA, The Witness, Talos Principle etc have higher budgets and are in AA territory. I'm also not sure you understand the thread. This is for newcomers who don't have a PS4 yet and whether it'd be worth it for them for the exclusives alone. If you're recommending 3 games, then that's already 3 games to go with the machine, and now there's Ratchet and Uncharted 4. That's 5 games with many more to look forward to in the next half year. How many games and what kind of outlook should a system have before you'd start recommending it because I've never seen a console with better prospects for the future than the PS4 right now. |
Even if a game like The Witness has higher budget than Transistor, it's still an indie. Indie games aren't determined for the amount of money they needed to be developed. Also, you'd be surprised, since I'd say Transistor had higher budget than The Talos Principle; although I can't find raw data, the Transistor developer used all their profits from Bastion to create, develop and publish Transistor themselves, while Croteam reutilized the Serious Sam engine and the same assets to create The Talos Principle and used their standard Devolver publisher to put the game in sale. 
Considering that I have like six games on my Ps4 and I get bored a lot after beating them all, five games (and I shouldn't be counting Ratchet and Clank, but since you mentioned it alongisde U4, I will) aren't just enough for someone to get a console and play through them exclusively. Mind you, I have multiplatform games, but the same rule apply; and since they want only exclusives (or so it's the idea that I get from your thread), five games alone aren't worth getting a console for. The prospect of more future games isn't enough; just wait until those games have released, then get the console.

There's people that play multiplatform titles on other systems (f.e. PC), so the additional console is mostly for exclusives.
I buy most multiplatform games for PC, since they are usually the best versions. That said, all 3 current home consoles have been "worth it" for me:
PS4:
Xbox One:
Wii U:
im only interested in bloodbourne but you can only play it for max 20 hours so i dont need a playstation
imo
Essential Tier:
Uncharted 4
Until Dawn
Bloodborne
Driveclub
Great tier:
inFamous Second Son
Ratchet & Clank
Good tier:
Dragon Quest Heroes
LBP3
Tearaway Unfolded
If you want to add remasters and collections, LoUR and Uncharted Collection go in top tier too.
It was undoubtedly a slow start, but I think it is a pretty good list for 2.5 years, especially when you also consider a lot of the stuff that is also console exclusive.
It's a must buy system. Some incredible exclusives.

I know but I've kinda developed my own standard: AAA, AA, and then you have "indie", which covers most of them. I just can't lump a game like SOMA with the tons of games that come out every week on Steam lol. 
It being about production values and budget makes more sense. Star Citizen is also "indie".
Different people have different rules on how many games makes it worth to buy a console. I dunno how many games you need to justify a console but for me at least 6 games with many more in the pipeline is a good number to consider getting one. Mind you this is an extreme case for people who would only purchase it for the exclusives alone so for most of us it has been worth it for some time.
For newcomers 6-8 games is a good number, they'll get through those in time for the new heavy hitters start coming out. Backlogs are gonna become a problem otherwise.
