It's all about that variety for me, it's why i like it as a platform and the main reason i believe it's so succesful.

I was never really into God of War, but the new one looks like its worth a try.

I gave Horizon a try, and dont regret that at all.

But yeah the reason to get a PS4 (in my opinion), is its the best place to find rpgs/jrpgs.

Nice. I've been gaming PlayStation since I was a little kid too. Made the jump from nintnedo and almost didn't turn back past the ps2 era. Glad I didn't miss out on other platforms games but Sony is the most consistent company and covers first and third party where their competitors do not.

Last gen was rocky (partly due to most Japanese devs stumbling their way through it....or was that due to the Cell architecture being awful to work with?), but this gen has been a return to form. A good mix of western & eastern 1st & 3rd party titles, plus lots of indies and experimental stuff (like VR and mobile connected titles like That's You) to fill in the gaps; variety is and will always be the name of the game.

I agree, it's the combination of western + Japanese games that brings in mass appeal. For you, the Japanese games are more interesting which I agree with

PS3 was the most rough spot and it still ended up a big success. I think that shows that, despite its flaws, it still had the variety people wanted. I agree, Sony might be western focused compared to before but I think that's because of where gaming has gone over the past two generations. The western 3rd parties have been super successful while the Japanese developers have fallen from grace a bit. They seem to be on the up though after a steep learning curve into HD development. Plus, Japanese developers have always been slow to jump into the next generation, we should start seeing more and more Japanese games coming.

That's fair. I was going to go farther into depth with it but decided not to for a few reasons. 1) I didn't want the OP to be too long due to noticing an even bigger decline in people actually reading the OP on this site. 2) I was going to bed and was admittedly rushing a bit. 3) I figured I got the gist across. I'm sorry.

Tell Sony to release PS classics to the PS4 or PS Now and maybe I will

Yep, pretty much. I love my PS4. I've got a gaming PC but I barely use it, and I could buy an XBox One anytime, but I don't see why I would.

If PC didn't miss so many games it would be better, but so far Playstation remains the best option for having the best support.

Basically go Sony + Nintendo and you won't miss a single game.

yea, I'm a gamer with a really broad interest in games, so the variety of games the Playstation consoles deliver/foster is right up my alley

Lol i wasn't trying to be offensive man, that comment comes off way doucher than i intended, I apologize. I guess from my perspective i'd say PS4 was pretty bad as a platform for about 3 years, wasn't really that good till this year, so when the OP ended up just being a talk about PS as a whole it was kind of hard to rebuttal anything. You're fine!

Yup. It's always been a great compliment to my Nintendo consoles/handhelds. I really hated the PS3, but the PS4 is much, much better, so I am glad. I hope the PS5 is just as good.
