So people who aren't crazy enough to blow a total of USD 1250 on hardware alone aren't gamers now?
Go away.

Probably because every system has games worth playing. If you don't wanna blow $1250 on hardware, then gaming isn't your hobby.

to be fair, that's $1250 spread out over maybe four years or so. there's no requirement to spend all that at once.

Oh look, the equivalent to someone who calls gamers "nerds" has appeared.

No, gaming is my hobby. Gaming, however, is not my life.
Every system will have great games worth playing. However, when you factor in the fact that I have maybe 5 hours a week of console gaming time, owning 3 consoles becomes pretty stupid.
We're gamers on the pre-eminent video game industry discussion community. The only reason our pictures aren't in dictionaries next to the term 'nerd' is because we're not photogenic enough.
What? You're kidding right. Maybe I wasn't brought up by some rich parents but the amount of money or systems you buy has nothing to do if you're a gamer or not.DarknessTear said:Probably because every system has games worth playing.

And even i am moderately surprised
my vote goes to "Barlog scared them off"
it didn't seem to scare anyone off the PS2 where there were plenty of awesome games i notice!
If 1 POTENTIAL unannounced game is scaring all action fighters off, Sony are ****ing ****ED if you buy into this apologist fanboy nonsense.

I grew up poor. Gaming is just a hobby for me, and people who spend shitloads of their time talking about games instead of playing them saying they don't spend enough time on games, well.. maybe they need to set their priorities straight.
Anyway my point is that if you have a hobby, why not go all out on it? I know plenty of people who collect thousands of dollars worth of comic books and shit.

I think you're talking about the wrong GoW now. Or maybe I'm confused.

this coming from a guy who thinks good gameplay is not required if a game has good Art and story :lol

I don't play DMC so this news means little to me, but this is probably a sadder statement than any amount of damage control I've seen in this topic.
Gaming is my hobby yes. When I'm not with my friends, studying for a test, or in class--it's what I do.DarknessTear said:
But you know what--I have to pay a tuition, housing, meal plan, and car insurance. We all have priorities and gaming is definitely not above my education and outside life.
What you're talking about now sounds more like an obsession.

spending $1250 on hardware over the course of a console generation (which is running at least 5-6 years now from what i can tell) doesn't constitute obsession. factor in the fact that as time goes on hardware prices go down and/or you continue getting more features and accessories for your money, and that's really not that big of a deal.

Maybe Sony should've adopted a more proactive strategy last generation instead of the "Our console has 80million units sold, be happy we're letting you put your project on our machine" stance they often times took. Its funny, because they reminded me a lot of SNES era Nintendo in terms of arrogance. Microsoft on the other hand is going on to third parties that have projects they like and offering to publish and throw its marketing muscle behind the projects. Its also funny because they remind me of early PSone era Sony who went out and sought potentially big 3rd party published games like FFVII.

It's not hard to set back a certain amount of money per paycheck to be able to eventually afford a console.

It can be, especially if you want to buy games for the systems you already own, and only have about 50$ of wiggleroom per cheque.

Nope, those aren't consoles.
Seriously though, Wii has Super Mario Galaxy (K FIXED) and some other crap and uhh... PS3 has MGS4, White Knight Story, FFXIII, Shin Megami Tensei 4, God of War 3 (yes, exclusive because it's made by Sony) and 360 has Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata and some other games and stuff.
Segata Sanshiro said:
Overtime! :lol
I don't know what to say, there's always a game drought to set money back during.
Definitely don't have the time to read all of this, but am I the only one who is excited for 360 owners? Hell, with all these school payments, I only had enough money for my PS3, but finally some people that have been stuck on the "NG >" stance for a long time will get a chance to play a great series.
At least until a bigger userbase is established, these announcements are going to be frequent. Eventually the series will fade out, and something new will come - so I don't understand the idea of putting all your marbles (buying a system) based on a 3rd party developer.
I remember when all I wanted for PS2 were newer versions of my PS1 games - I read the first article on the original DMC/Onimusha and was skeptic about the games (as were the people previewing the build), and look how it all turned out. The whole cycle of phasing out a series and introducing new IPs is going to repeat itself eventually.

And yeah I'm kinda dissapointed in my Wii, I'm still worried it'll turn out like the Gamecube.

But it's still truuuuue!
Lots of people here fap over games on all 3 consoles.
But there are also people here who (still) don't own a PS2. Shocker!
P.S. Quoting my tag means you don't visit the gaming forum often. Also I've never seen you before. Who the hell are you?
Edit: I see, you only visit threads I never go to. Oh snappers!

guess it depends on what sort of games you want to play on it, but super mario galaxy, metroid prime 3, super paper mario, and twilight princess are worth it to me. i actually loved my gamecube though, so ymmv.
