Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is there one game you would buy a console for?

I have to say really no. I usually wait until there are five or six titles I want for the system before buying it. The only "exception" are Nintendo's consoles since I know that Nintendo will supply those enough titles to make the console a worthwhile investment.

Anything made by Fumitu Ueda
or an Atelier game



Legend of Zelda...pretty much any of them. Gonna get tue NX due to BotW alone.



Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-5643-2927-1984

Animal Crossing NH Dream Address: DA-1078-9916-3261

Everything exclusive from Naughty Dog.
Souls/Borne and GTA series probably too.

Nintendo GameCube = Star Fox Assault, Metroid Prime, 1080 Avalanche

 

You'll notice something particularly odd regarding my choices. 

*The original because D3 sucks... 

And ToV 2 or any JRPG for a Microsoft console since they usually have more polishing than even Shitzzard and Nintenshit games... 



Around the Network

I never buy a console if it only has 1 game I'm interested in but I can list the games which have been the deciding factors in my hardware purchases.

Game Boy: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
PlayStation 1: Gran Turismo/Tekken 3/Crash Bandicoot
Game Boy Color: Pokémon Yellow
Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64
Gaming PC: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun/Half-Life/Diablo 2
PlayStation 2: Gran Turismo 3
Game Boy Advance: Pokémon Ruby
Xbox 360: Dead Rising
PlayStation 3: Uncharted/Valkyria Chronicles
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
PlayStation 4: Driveclub/The Last of Us Remastered
PlayStation Vita: Minecraft/Wipeout 2048
Nintendo 3DS: Pokémon SoulSilver
Wii U: Super Mario 3D World/Super Smash Bros. 4
Oculus Rift: Half-Life 2 VR

If Dead Rising 3+4, PvZ: Garden Warfare, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Quantum Break had stayed exclusive I'd have an XB1 as well.

 

Edit: 12/23 are Japanese games. More than I thought actually



It's hard to say for me, because that one game could be anything. Heck, I bought a PS2 just for DDR. Whatever game that looks really fun to me is something that is worth buying a console for.

Nope



Prior to this generation I was contemplating not buying into consoles any more, going exclusively PC. But then I played The Last of Us, that game pretty much singled handedly convinced me to buy a PS4. As long as Naughty Dog are making games I'll buy the system they release them on.



Don't ruin the moment

I bought a PS4 for Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV (PS3 YLOD). Even if those games didn't exist I would get a PS4 to play FFVII earlier. I can play most multiplats on PC. So Final Fantasy is definitely that series for me.
