E3 2021 Griefing Thread - Now with more nigger pandering, does anyone even care about most of the games displayed here seriously? (Spoiler alert Nintendo won lol)

I've got to ask from a perspective of someone who hasn't really engaged with playstations that much, would a PS5 be a good purchase (when the price isn't sky high bullshit) for someone who's never owned a playstation?

I mean, obviously that's not why the consumerist bugmen are buying them, but I'm just curious if a PS5 or a PS4 would be a better deal at their retail prices.

Right now? You'd be better off getting a used PS4 I think.

In a couple years? Eh maybe a PS5 after the first price cut might be worth it. Hopefully by then it will have some actual shit worth playing that isn't already on PS4.

No worse than the Dark Crystal SRPG that was made.

These VR games look like they were made by cavemen banging rocks together when compared to H-L: Alyx.
And Alyx wasn't even that good.

 

[Groundbreaking-maize]

Or you just really really liked PS4 games and want to play them in 4K or 60fps and stuff.

Not a bad pitch that one.

Got a PS5 at retail, fucked around with demon's souls and replayed half my PS4 library, then sold it for $1000 when my interest vaned. Take advantage, people.

Yeah, i have a PSVR and while there are some great games for it an awful lot of VR stuff is still basic as fuck or "game you already like but from a first person perspective".

It's a promising format but most devs are so unimaginative now that they do fuck all with it.

Vanity Consoomerism. Or you're an influencer/streamer or something I guess.

It's always sad when a new generation of a console's biggest point of appeal is that it's like a deluxe version of the one that came before it. Except the PS5 is ugly as fucking sin. I'll probably buy one eventually just like I bought my Xbox One - used, for relatively cheap, several years down the line.

My launch-era PS4 is just fine until then.

It just feels this generation currently has zero games that makes me want to go out and try to get any of the new systems.

Should be interesting. Now that Todd is owned by Microsoft I wonder if they'll still allow him to tell us those lies, those sweat little lies

Every time I see that I feel the need to go back and rewatch the Internet Historian video about Fallout 76.

Video games are an expensive business and they must not have thought it was worth the investment anymore. A lot of Japanese companies either got out or folded with the jump to 4K IIRC

Imagine unironically thinking games are getting expensive while not blaming graphic whores who want 10k graphic on a ps5 or spending it on super bowl tv advert please kindly throw a toaster while your taking a shower

 

[Grey Donovan]

so what reason is there to buy the newest console?

Xbox? None since Game Pass is on Xbox One and PC, and anything good Microsoft makes will be held back by the Xbox One for the next 2 years.

PlayStation? There’s Returnal and Ratchet&Clank if you like sci-fi games. There’s also a remake of Demon’s Souls if you’re a From Software junkie.

For a lot of people it only takes one game to buy into one, but new consoles always take 2-3 years to get a real library of games. I didn’t get a PS3 until it was three years old and $299.

Today is a great reminder to people why it's important to have more hobbies and interests than video games.

Didn't realize that these useless graphics cost nothing to produce. You're totally right games suddenly don't cost anything to make if graphic whores ask for it.

Go shit in the street, retard.

Same as last generation.

Does shitposting on Kiwi Farms count?

Does exercising and reading history count?

Game systems only have games when their store is about to be shut down.

If you reverse-image search this picture you'll have 'superhero' suggested which is appropriate considering that Rainbow Six has turned into Marvel CU tier garbage.
