SO can we now expect all PC > console comments to cease starting now? Cause we are here talking about playing actual games. Actual games that I cannot play on my $2500 PC or that are just flat out superior to the PC. Yeah I said superior. NBA2k14 on PC is ported from the Xbox 360 and PS3. The PS4 and XB1 versions are using completely different rendering engines.
And what do they play on their PCs? More green and brown VS shooters.
Ill be playing Super Mario 3D World, Zelda Link Between Worlds, Bravely Default, The Last of Us, etc.
Wouldn't play those on my PC if I could
I'm not bickering or resorting to making a personal attack.
I consider your generalization about "any device" to be wrong.
I've made thousands of purchases over many years and my personal experience is it's extremely rare that a newly purchased device doesn't work as I expect it to.
Checked out the PS4 version of BF4 at a buddies place. Gotta say it looked pretty darn amazing - much, much, MUCH better than BF4 on the PS3. I dare say, it looks pretty darn close to the PC version, although the PC version is going to be better (and the PC costs more, heh).
Wat? I think you've deluded yourself with all the talk of SLI and blah blah. It is not expensive to game on a PC. Outdated concept. Just because you CAN spend tons of cash doesn't mean you NEED to. People buying these consoles are dropping as much as any upper midtier PC are because consoles are nickle and dimed for accessories. I just find people talking about the cost to be laughable.
What's even funnier is the "it's supposed to be no fuss turn on and play" and the concept of internet connectivity has pretty much thrown all of that out the window. SO please...everyone...quit trying to make yourself believe these are some great thing they are not. They are locked down PC's without all the extras that PC's have. Maybe in past gens there was a case, but there is no longer. Maybe in the future as new tech comes out, but as long as they try to make them PC's, well...
That being said...enjoy them. I will probably pick one up when some actual games come out
Shut the hell up about PC vs consoles. Jeezus christ man. You're just inviting more PC-only trolls by even responding.
For starters you quoted me out of context. The real quote in context is "any device like this" And no I'm not wrong just because you have never purchased such electronics that did not contain bugs or never need updating. Even TV's today have updates that fix what?...oh right, they fix things you don't experience so that must mean they don't really exist right? Because that is exactly what you are saying by the linearity of "thousands of purchases". Bugs are not rare, they are very common. Server issues are also common with high demand loads. So far, the Iphone 4 has had more issues than the PS4 ones exclaimed here ...so far. Sometimes devices have a feature that is gimped or non functional, doesn't make it permanent, just give it time. I was just saying new products like the PS4 are prone to having issues for a variety of reasons...maybe some would prefer they release it in Japan and wait until next year for everyone else to get it like we had back in the old console days?
I have the PC version and I really think the "better" parts will go completely unnoticed without side by side shot comparisons. At least judging from what I have seen on the PS4 version and knowing how focused players are in an MP game like this.
For starters you need accessories for a PC too, you can be nickel and dimed for all sorts of kb's, mice, headphones, software..etc yet like a console are completely optional.
Second, a PC will not last 5 years. On console, games get better looking with age. On PC, they diminish unless you upgrade...which adds to your cost. Oh wait, you get buggy console ports, lol nvm.
Third this is a console gaming forum, like any other specialized forum, posters will make it out to be great if they really like it. No one but you is trying to compare a bicycle to a motorcycle, doesn't mean a bicycle is not great in its own right.

Good call. I just checked, figuring it'd be weeks until I could get one. Nope. Picked up the BF4 bundle. Two day delivery, I'll get it Tuesday. Not to shabby. These prices on craigslist won't last long.
I was really torn between KZ4 and BF4. Hell, I want NBA 2k14 and COD as well!!!
im pretty far in knack and still having a great time with it.
Nice, Sand Eagle! I have NBA 2K14 but haven't played a basketball game since NBA jams on N64. I'd like to play it against some other players who don't know what they are doing.
I have only opened two games so far. KZ and AC
Trying to trade one of my unopened for Rivals.

All of these stories of what people are having to do just to get their consoles going is ridiculous. Kind of defeats the purpose of a console, for it to turn on and just work.
One thing that I have not read in this thread is a discussion of whether it has sold out everywhere? I've not gone anywhere to ask if they had any in stock but the fact that I have not read anyone asking "where can I find one" tells me that supply met demand for the most part.
I also like Knack. Surprisingly, it may be look cartoonish, but you have to pay attention or you will die easily. It also has that feeling of a Pixar/Disney movie with decent animation and cut scenes. Maybe not the best launch title ever, but worth playing.

i went to a couple of walmarts, best buy, and target...none had em in stock. i was watching this stock tracker site bit no luck.

figured then that i'd just kept checking amazon and finally got one.
yeah it's just a really fun platformer. i just got to chapter 6 after playing for like 3 hours or so straight. really fun. also, the sound in this game is really good. has some really nice bass too.
