Dissappointed with next gen....

[clips]

Well for me it\'s just that every other game that comes out is a 1st person shooter....and i absolutely hate those....but i know everybody and their mother practically plays\'em hence why they\'re bein\' created...it just seems to me that this current console generation is being completely domninated by it...i;ve also been noticing that the current length of games are now bein\' cut down to what? 4 - 6 hours for some games?...that is unacceptable....but to offset that, they add more content for online play...again...i understand EVERYBODY is online nowadays...but online is something that i just don\'t do....

Which is why at the very beginning i stated that i was in the minority on this issue as i\'m sure most everybody else is enjoying their experience on the current systems....i\'m mostly a big fan of third person shooters and not 1st person....god of war 2 had excellent level design,great gameplay and story progression and length...todays games are barely over 6 hours....games comin\' down the pike might have more length (mgs, res evil) but it seems less is bein focused on the single player campaign and more is bein focused on online content...

I understand why they are doin it..*it\'s extremely popular*...it\'s just that in my case, it\'s completely useless for me....

I think once I plop down on the couch and start playing GTA4 I\'ll have that wiener-tingling feeling all over again like I did when I saw the opening sequence of 007 for N64.

Left 4 Dead is the only game I\'m waiting on.

See?...another 1st person shooter.......but i did happen to see some of the gameplay for it....actually i saw the pc version and the 360 version,...and i gotta say that the 360 version was just moving waaay too fast...while the zombies in the pc version were quick, it wasn\'t as frantic or as crazy looking as the 360...i think they need to slow down the action in the 360 version a bit...

good thing I like FPS games I guess.. seems there are a ton of them nowadays.  I\'m probably gonna get a ps3 at some time later this year.. partly for the blu-ray and partly for the gaming.

Need to get that 42" LCD first

wait till july for the MGS 4 package..kick ass deal, with the new rumble controller.

Going to be a fun few months with gta 4 and then mgs4 and a new ps3

(mgs, res evil) but it seems less is bein focused on the single player campaign and more is bein focused on online content...

Patience pays off :

Silent Hill 5
MGS4
Ico team game
The Getaway 3
Mercenaries 2
Splinter Cell Conviction
Lost Oddysee
Little Big Planet

and yes i know they\'re fps but i\'m interested nonetheless :

Killzone 2
Far Cry 2

well, that\'s enough for me already to justify a next gen machine.

Fortunately, i didn\'t screw myself by buying one \'too early\' heheh :thumb: (although i have to admit i resold my 360 but that was for reasons of abroad study)

i\'m actually glad i got a ps3 when i did,...even tho there weren\'t that many games for it,...i got it around when assasins creed and heavenly sword were already out....i\'d rather have it now anyway, cause it would\'ve been kinda hard to buy the system, then turn around and buy some games for it.(now all i have to do is just concentrate on buying games)...but that mgs package is definitely going to move some units...


This gaming thing is a bit expensive as well...$60.00 games...$500.00 consoles?....the days of brand new $299.00 consoles are over....and the wii doesn\'t count since it\'s the gamecube 2.5...

Well deduct inflation and there you will get cheaper prices

I think the bigger problem with expensive games is that development costs increase instead of decrease with every introduction of new technology.

But you have to remember that the days of the old cardridge based consoles games were much more expensive than they are today and they were priced based on title popularity. Popular games were sometimes much more expensive. And 1$ was much more then than it is today

you have that flame shield ready?

There aren\'t that many wii fans on this forum, he\'ll survive.

True. I remember the early PAL N64 times. AAA N64 carts were sometimes as high as 219 Dfl (the old currency), which would be about 100 Euros.
