Your reasons why this generation of game consoles will be your last........

[quote name='zewone']Staying behind a generation isn't such a good idea when most of your gaming enjoyment, comes from online games.[/quote]

And what about those, like me, who could give a shit less about online play or anything online in games? The enjoyment is still there, unless many games go the way of Warhawk, being MMO bullshit.

And, if that ever happens or me not being able to own a PHYSICAL copy of a game to put in my system, then those two items combined would be enough to get me to give up gaming FOR GOOD.

As far as the prices go, I've only been buying games on clearance for under retail in recent years(with a few exceptions), so price increases don't matter to me, unless clearance sales suddenly go the way of the dodo.
 
Then if I were you, I would guess I wasn't talking about you than.

I stated who I was talking about, those who get most of their gaming enjoyment from online gaming, like me.

But see, your comment was a general type comment, not a statement saying 'I would miss playing Halo #59334906780675806754607 if I were a gen behind, since I get most of my enjoyment from playing online'.

See the different between that above statement and your general comment?

Either way, I still don't give a rats ass about online play, so all the focus on it this gen bores me to tears already.
 
[quote name='zewone']But, I never said:

"But what if IAmTheCheapestGamer gets the most enjoyment out of online gaming?"[/quote]

No, but you DIDN'T say 'I get the most enjoyment out of online gaming, so being a gen behind won't work for ME.'

I mean, I can see that people get enjoyment out of playing online, but if I wanna play multiplayer, I'll do so with my friends on one system offline.

That's another thing that irks me, is making multiplayer ONLY online, as if everyone you know is supposed to have a (system) and high speed net to JUST be able to play what MOST devs put in place in prior incarnations of many of these games.
 
But, I am not the only one, so I left it as general for people like me.

Also, most, if not always, games that have online multiplayer have local and system link play.

But again, for gamers like ME, who prefer my friends to NOT have to hook up extra junk(other tvs, systems) JUST to play against one another, that's bunk to only make multi player 'system link' or anything other than multiple players on ONE system with ONE game.

And that's another definite reason why I'm staying a gen behind, since I'll be able to subjectively buy the games that only provide me with the experience I WANT and none of this MMO nonsense or whatever other lazy way of adding in multi player the devs decide to plop in anymore.

I guess I must be the only gamer on earth who enjoys having his opponents still be in the SAME ROOM as him.

Either way, you enjoy what you like, while I'll enjoy what I like and if the days of OFFLINE multi and PHYSICAL copies of games being bought go bye bye, so do I from the gaming world.
 
Do you actually own Thrill Kill?
Just curious.

I bought a bootleg of it in Costa Rica ages ago. Came in a nice case with disc art and everything.

Actually, I don't dallow.....and every time someone I knew(either a game shop owner or someone who worked at a game store I frequented)had a copy, they JUST sold it right before I found out they had it.

Can I ask you if you have the uncensored version or one of the other versions that the people from Paradox put out on the net?

If it's the uncensored one, is it up for trade by any chance?

I just wanna be able to say 'I've played it' and to be able to say either 'it sucks' or 'it fuckin rocks' from having actually PLAYED it.

And actually, someone on GF's posted a link to a photo in Paradox HQ from a Mortal Kombat press event, which showed a case with what looked like complete copies of TK, it's guide and other items from Paradox in the background.

I'd paste it, but I'm a lil confused as to how to do that. But it's on MKOnline, on an archive page from Oct 4, 2005.

Here's a link(2nd row of pics, from left to right, 5th pic down in that row, going to need to enlarge it to see the case and what looks like a guide in the back):

I actually still have a copy of Tips + Tricks mag from 1998 with a full move list/strategy in it for TK. So, it'd definitely be nice to finally be able to USE it.
 
It will be my last if nothing new is added. This generation would also have passed me by if it wasn't for the Wii. I have a PC for all my graphics whoring, I don't see the point in buying a new console if the only thing that changes are the gfx.
 
I'm always late to the party I bought an xbox in 2006 a very long time after it came out. And my ps2 purchase came in later 2006.

But hey i got the ps3 a week ago. I mean sorry to get OT, but as my college winds down I find less and less time to play games.

I mean I didn't get started into a lot of gaming until HS (mainly pc and cheap pc gaming), I wasn't allowed to have game consoles when I was younger, it was my parents.

Well depends where the next few yrs go, I might go back to pc gaming and just keep my console on the side. Or I might abandon it....it all depends.
 
I agree with a lot of you opinions OP, but I feel this won't be the last generation for me. I think I will always get the latest console, but instead of getting it the day it comes out, it will be down the road after a few games I really want come out and a price drop.
Instead of buying every game that I'm slightly interested in, I buy games that I have read up on and KNOW I will like. I rent the rest.

Luckily, nothing for PS3 or Wii has come out that makes me want to buy it and I only have 10 games for the 360 and am happy knowing I have every game for that system that I'm interested in playing. Pc game purchases for this year have been even less.
I need to work on my handheld addiction though. While my console purchases have gone down, they have gone up.
