Any games that made you buy a console?

[Howling]

Plus the "next gen" console spec is totally underwhelming, so I wasn't even interested from that angle.

Yeah... "next gen" -- here have some 5 year old pc **** that can't even manage 1080@60, mostly not even able to do 1080@30 or lesser resolutions... Thanks consoles

I bought a ps4 anyway , bought a wii u for mk8 , would happily buy a ps4 just for the last of us and uncharted though

 

[malachi]

None, I just like buying a new consoles on release and see what games come out after.

XB1 - Ori and the Blind Forest (even though it's on Steam)

XB1/PS4 - Batman: Arkham Knight (even there's a crappy port on Steam)
XB1/PS4 - Unravel (even though that's on Origin)

PS4 - The Last of Us
PS4 - Little Big Planet

Wii U - Splatoon

3DS - Fire Emblem: Fate
3DS - Monster Hunter X

I've misread the thread post. I don't own any of these games, but if I did they would be the only reason I'd go for that respective console.

Sonic - Mega Drive
Gran Tourismo - PS1
Shenmue - Dreamcast
Halo - Xbox

Haven't owned a console since, well I've had lots like Saturn, NES, SNES, N64, Wii, GameCube etc but just because I could

Sonic - Mega Drive

How could I forget the MegaDrive... shame on me!

Yup, bought mine for Sonic as well Good memories, fun times.

The PS4 is a more than decent gaming machine if you can get it for around £200 assuming you're only playing as singleplayer. It starts going downhill with the extra costs for a 2nd controller and monthly payments for online access to multiplayer games.

Not yet, no. However, if I was to buy a console, then it probably would be the PS4 for its exclusives.

Same here, I do plan on getting a PS4 one day as I've never played The Last of Us. I've seen several other exclusives I'd like to try as well.

Halo: xbox

£3 a month for a few games and online play is pretty good value really.

 

[Midlife Crisis]

Oh yes I got a mega drive for sonic forgot about that long time ago

Used to be, like NHL. Back in the day both were the best versions available.

Unfortunately PC piracy was rampant at the time, ea stoped bothering with developing pc versions, giving us PS2 ports till it got long in the tooth with stat only updates around the 08 versions.

We get fifa purely because of the insanely popular monetized ultimate team, if only maddens and nhl's were as profitable, we'd get the game on pc

I bet madden ultimate team would bring in a fair bit of cash. Must have about £80 in my xbox one team

Is that actually the going rate or is it a grey market price?

I think £40/year is the normal price

Not had a console since PS3 but did have an Xbox for Halo/2.

 

[Hiijinx]

Can't remember if it was Mass Effect or Alan Wake - either way, they both came to PC later on so could have saved the cash!
