What are you buying in next Gen?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

What are you buying in next Gen?

PS3, 360 or Revolution?

Myself? I'll probably get PS3 and 360, one thing though. Grats to nintendo for getting lazy people to rebuy their old games again who are too lazy to A) plug it in again and Dont want to spend 30 mins trying to blow the dust out of the cartridges again.

Console power hardly matters. Most games are cranked out in a year to a year in a half or 2. But it doesn't matter. No game has really ever hit a systems limits(I'm not talking pc if don't have a top of line brand spankin new) But be real, how long would it take to design a PS3 game that would harness all 4 processors in it or all, 16 was it? SPEs. My guess would be 4 or 5 years, and by the time it was done, the games that use 25%, or 30% of the systems power would have caught up to the 100% games maxxed out graphics. So I want to ask you all 1 thing, would you rather have a constant stream of games, alot of which you will never hear of or never buy, or would you have a smaller stream of games, but have them be beutiful and use all of the systems potential?

Me? im PS3 and for the smaller stream and games that use the system to its fullest.

Nothing really, as I am content with my PC, albeit shes a bit slow, and I don't have the proper money to buy some long overdue updates, like a bigger HDD and some CPU/MoBo upgrade.

a console to me is just that, what I can have on a console, I can also have on my PC, and as I spend most of my time in front of a PC, I have no need for a Console. I don't think Consoles are bad things however, they have their plusses, their main plus is their accessability, people can buy a game for their Console, and they don't have to hold their fingers crossed that the game might actually work, and provide them with the graphical beauty they see on screenshots of the games, for people without the necessary funds to maintain a computer, and don't want to spend whallops of cash to maintain said computer, the console is a very good commodity to have, as they can game to their hearts content, without having to worry if the specs are still up-to-date for the game they purchased.

so in all, Ill sit this one out.

like i have said before the pc is just all around more useful you can type, surf the net and play games where as a console is just that, without the games it's just an expensive paper weight plus pc's can be upgraded more easily

Only Box I want, other than PC, is a plain old Playstation. To run the final Fantasy and Chronotrigger games. New ones are of no intrest, at least till they create a new Final Fantasy that is not On-line playable.

I would have never suspected this of you, Taw.

Nothing, as long as they don't stop making games for the GameCube and XBOX, I'll be fine

it's a necessary extension to fatherhood. I have numerous high-lvl Pokémon from various Leagues.

As for me, nothing. I'm flat broke and don't play console games anymore, I have an awesome PC for that. Besides, this is going to be the last generation of consoles where it's cheaper to buy a console than a PC, with the way Console prices are going up and PC prices going down.

Wow, Mullah plays pokemon? The other day I heard someone say Daikatana was good and I also heard they were releasing Duke Nukem Forever. The sky will soon be falling. (Scientist Tom? No, don't give a scientist the name Tom)

So do you have a picachu or have you evolved it into a rychu(sp)?

Post Wed Oct 05, 2005 9:25 am

I have an excellent Raichu, but it took a while to evolve him. I also have high-lvl Gengar, Golduck, Golem, and a Staryu. All my other decent Pokémon I've either lost or given up with.

Smack some sense into those pokemon that don't want to level up. They have no rights, make sure they know that.
