This looks like the end...

NFL 2K and Soul Calibur were enough for months. Fucking quadruple A quality right there.

Hey Melf. Did you play Daytona and Bomberman online, with your DC? I recall trying to log onto Bomberman one night and there was a guy from Puerto Rico trying to as well. Neither of us could get on, but the game acted like it was playable online.


Back when the DC online games were on it's last legs, it seemed like a lot of guys from your country were still playing online and I'd get a few sessions of Daytona and Bomberman with them. Everyone was speaking spanish after the race, but I'd get to talk to some of them in english. Those were the days!

TobalRox, simple, because some of the stuff might not be easy to find later on.

I find that most games you can get cheaper if you wait a bit, unless you know it's an ultra low pressing. I have yet to come across a game this generation that I've wanted, and didn't get at a low price.

This thread has gone from buying no games to launch titles and which system has the best launch.

I think Pepsiman has a good idea, and one more people should invest some time in to consider. You don't need the next generation of games, you just need to get games you think you'll like. Buying something because it's 15 bucks is a waste of money. Some games on eBay you can find for 10 bucks are worth that, and if you play them then they're worth that. Pile of shames are wastes, since every month there's 10 new games added to the stack.

I think a little bit of Pepsimans buy older and enjoy the fruits of the generation combined with diffusionX's discriminating buyer attitude weilds the best results.

Heh, it wouldn't surprise me if we crossed paths that way. I played a few rounds of Daytona (got my ass whupped) but could never get online with Bomberman for some reason.

I only buy a game when it's cheap if I know I will enjoy it. Of course, my "pile" is nothing compared to others on here.

On not buying any more games....That makes me happy. It makes me happy because I realize that I, after playing since I can remember (Earliest memory here) still love video games. It makes me happy to realize that I am not jaded. Sure, I hate Nintendo and SNK, but everyone has their company to hate. I'm glad that I still have such wide eyes and can enjoy video games for what they are. Not for their "essence" or whatever bullshit TNL jargon people like to spit to attempt to make themselves feel superior.

I'm happy with the current generaiton. In fact, this is the most fun I've ever had playing video games thanks to amazing American development, widespread internet play and a million other reasons. The next generation will come whenever it comes and I'm not in a big hurry to get into it. But when that day does arrive-

On buying consoles at launch...I'll most likely wait a good 6 months or so to let the next consoles flesh out in terms of games and lifespan. Unless Microsoft comes out swinging with Halo 3 or some great XBOXLive launch title, I can see myself just biding my time. Sony never surprises anyone so I know I can wait on the PS3 for however long it takes.

The last console I got at launch was the N64, and no one could honestly blame me. People who don't say they weren't impressed by Mario 64 try way too hard to be cool on the internet. My first console this generation was the PS2, and that was when Dark Cloud 2 came out roughly. I picked up the XBOX when DOAX was released and I by the end of this year, it will most likely be my favorite console of all time.

Beat me to it. DC had by far the best launch in Console history.

And Sega waited a year from the Japanese launch to bring it out to America... Hmm.. I guess they were on to something...

I will be getting two of the three next gen systems. Sony and Microsoft have earned my money. Nintendo has tricked me twice in a row. They won't fool me three times.

[James]

Nintendo blew it with the N64, redeemed themselves in full with the Gamecube. Personal opinions may vary, but whatever Nintendo does next I'm there for.

What I'll probably do with this next generation of stuff is to get the games I want ahead of time, before buying the hardware, and then have a nice armory of titles awaiting my purchase of a cheaper system.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read online. Congratulations.
