You might have fun.

no, buy a console sized pc

>>375989620
your not investing in anything fun is not a return and it is a social construct

Why? Buy it if you want it, don't buy it if you don't.

Where the fuck are the mods and why are they not doing their fucking job

>>375989620
if you have friends who play with it then get it to play with them. if not then just get a pc. there is literally no reason at all to own any console unless it's to play with friends. nobody is autistic enough to buy a console to play alone or to play like 3 big exclusives in 3 years. a pc does all those single player games much better and doesn't cost a whole load more to upgrade a current pc with that ~$400 you'd be spending on the ps4.

t. own one to play fifa 17 with a couple of black guys from my college. pro clubs is fun.

>>375989620

>2006 memes

If you think of buying a toy as an 'investment' you should probably skip it and get a job

So far the only thing i can imagine making it worth it is Bloodborne, and as much as i want to plsy that game, it aint enough to warrant buying a whole console on its own?

Literally anything else??

>>375991365
Nioh (kinda), Yakuza 0, crash remake, last of us 1 and 2 all come to mind

New spiderman will be ps4 only too oh and infamous second son is fun

Some fags would say persona, but I'm not into that shit because I'm a badass irl and don't have to roleplay

>>375989620

An investment must yield profits in order for it to be an investment.

It will not appreciate in value either.

Wait for the next model/generation to come out, buy the PS4 for $150 and games from $10-$20 each.

That's what I did with the PS3.

In the mean time build a $800 PC, faggot.

>>375991731
>$800 PC

When I can enjoy the same games and better with a fraction of the price.

Also, consoles actually have games.

You can play video games on it, and some of those video games you can't play anywhere else.

He's proposing investing time and money into it with the return possibly being enjoyment.

I'm genuinely surprised how shit I am at this game, the new mechanics totally destroy me. Especially that thing where you push multiple notes at once when they're connected by electricity, I almost always fuck that up

>>375990840
the movies might be in """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""4k""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" now but that doesn't make them games

>>375990012
Buy a PS3 instead. Maybe you already have one. Or invest in a good PC and wait until the PS3 emulator has progressed to where it's actually playable.

I mean shit, I found some used PS3s on ebay for around 70 leaf dollars, which is like 50 actual dollars.

>needing /v/ to tell you what to do
invest in some rope

>>375989620
Because you want to.

It's literally the only reason to invest in any gaming platform. Are you retarded or something?

After years of pc mustard race with dirt cheap games I can't see myself ever going back to consoles.
The games are so fucking expensive, jesus christ.

Do you want enough exclusives to offset the hardware cost? Go buy it.

Are there not enough exclusives to offset it, but you don't have another system that can play current gen multiplats? Consider it against its competitors.

You already have a multiplat system, and there aren't enough exclusives to offset the hardware cost? Don't buy it.

It's not hard.

>>375994935
I have yet to pay more than 20 dollars for a game (with all DLC) that isn't a special edition, like NieR Automata Black Box Edition. Usually, I barely spend more than 10 for newer games. Old games (ps2 and older), I never spend more than 5, but typically spend about 1-3 dollars on.

I mean, I got BB with all DLC for 20 bucks during a recent flash sale, and DS2: Scholar of the First Sin for 11 bucks. 14 bucks for Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Is that super expensive for PC gaming?

>>375995157
The last three "big" titles I bought were shadow of mordor, nudoom, and just cause 3.

I paid 10 euro for each. I'm unlikely to pay more for a game.

>>375995157
This, PSN has better sales than steam nowadays. I got Arkham Knight for $10 like 6 months after release. I remember Witcher 3 being $25 after bit more than two months of it being released.

>>375995157
That's surprisingly cheap but I'm also a turbo jew that never pays more than €10 for a vidya.
Can you still play games from disc on the new gen? Wouldn't connect mine to the net if I ever got one.

>>375990068
surprised this doesn't have more (you)'s. fucking hilarious. babby read his first (false) science article

>>375995374
no it doesn't. the only time i've seen psn be cheaper than steam is in these flash sales which come like once every 6 months. steam has consistent deals all year round.

>>375993440
Nioh and yakuza 0 and gravity rush 2

>>375995598
>Consistent deals all year long

Yeah on indie shit and old games/shovelware.

>>375995442
If you buy the disk, you can play with the disk, but there's little practical difference between buying the disk or online, as inserting the disk copies the game to your hard drive. Only difference is purchasing the disk requires you to place the disk in the machine to play. Both still eat up the same amount of space.

Also, when I mentioned black flag, that was a year and a half ago - maybe 2.5 years. Can't really remember.

Also, as we speak, PS is having a "Golden Week" sale, where big new games are going for up to 70% off, and up to 80% off if you have PS+ (I don't).

Gravity Rush 2 is 41.99
Gravity Rush is 17.99
Dragon Quest Builders is 41.99
DOA 5 Last Round is 23.99
Dragon Ball Xenoverse is 15.99
DB Xenovers Season Pass Bundle is 25.99
God Eater 2 is 26.99
Rainbow Moon is 5.99
Catherine is 6.99
Mega Man 8 is 1.79

And that's just a couple of the games I picked out. There are more than 175 games on sale at the moment.

>>375995815
Currently the division free weekend and 50%

>>375989620
>invest
what? you shouldn't invest in it, you will never even break even with your return on it

>>375995815
nah son, they also have anime sales (like right now). and they're all terrible sales as well.

>>375995929
>Catherine is 6.99

Wait Catherine is on ps4?
Worth getting?

>>375996062
>they also have anime sales (like right now)
Right now is star wars sale, what are you smoking

>>375996081
No clue. I haven't played Catherine. Also, I looked it up on my phone, through the PS App. Dunno if its for the PS4, PS3, or Vita (they tell you, I just didn't look).

Conversation was about steam.

>>375996251
Nobody ever claimed the games were cheaper upon release. But Sony has sales literally every week (some of them really suck, like a "Call of Duty" sale, or something, but there's always a sale).

Right now, NieR Automata (less than 2 months old) is on sale for 44.99, and its going for a bit more on Steam. Give it another year, and you'll see the game sporadically appear for like 10-15 bucks, with all DLC included.

>>375989620
I'm not poor, so there's no such thing as "investing" in a console in my mind. I bought a PS4 for Bloodborne and Persona 5. Couple other additions were just a bonus.

It has the most games of current consoles but that's not saying much considering that Xbone and Switch only have 1 good game each at the moment.

If you are into japanese stuff like Gravity Rush, Bloodborne and Persona 5 you may want to consider it over just upgrading your GPU, if not then don't.

>>375996476
those sales are only available in the us. i just checked the uk store and nier is still 49.99 whereas steam is 39.99.

>>375996476
This. Not to mention, even buying older "new games" gets cheaper on the PS. Far Cry 4 is going for 30 bucks on PC, but 15 on PS3 and 19.40 on PS4. You can literally get the "Limited Edition" Far Cry 4 (whatever that means) for 18.50 on PS3 and 23.50 on PS4.

>>375989620
There is none. Now quit playing video games and invest into something useful.

>>375996724
Why would anyone care about sales in other regions? People don't live outside the US, only subhumans.

>>375996724
You'll have to forgive me, then. I'm not aware of what every game is going for in all parts of the world.

But here in the states, Automata is 49.99 on Steam, and 44.99 on PS4 during the Golden Week Sale.

Currently think of one and I can't give you any reasons.

You should buy a Switch instead.

>>375996756
You can pirate it on PC, also it's so cheap because no one on PC wanted that garbage.

>>375994484
P5 on PS3 is dogshit, anon

>>375996825
you do realize your beloved ps4 has its biggest install base in europe, right? you can thank us for making your ps4 popular with half of those 60 million sales.

If you're posting this, you already want one. Just do it, pussy.

>>375997074
Nah it isn't. The screentearing is awful but 720 doesn't ruin the experience, the rest is literally the same as PS4 Version, actually the load times are quicker on PS3.

Not really resolution and shadows are all that is different man. Have fun with your Number no games station faggot also P5 on PS3 was 50 USD to be nice for the wait for the game originally meant for PS3. Also who cares about graphics in this game fuck.

See you in a decade.

>>375997272
Once again, this isn't a flash sale. We had a flash sale a week or two ago. This is a Golden Week Sale (games that have sold over a million copies).

PS Store has sales literally every week. Sometimes they suck (like the Call of Duty Sale they had 2 or 3 weeks ago), but there are games on sale literally every weekend.

>>375997194
Not a thing here. PS store actually bumps the price to 70 euro.

>>375997320
It can run Demon souls right now my man and a lot of that one anime game everyone loves

All you people have proven is that Europe gets the shaft whether it's PSN, Steam or even Amazon.

>>375997364
Ok. But even if steam is consistently or even always cheaper for you, that doesn't mean that this is a universal truth.

>>375997426
That's taxes for you. Definitly feeling those.

I feel these kind of threads pop up pretty regularly.

Is this a testament of how bad the current generation is?

>>375997416
>it can run an 8 year old game

Three words: Crash Bandicoot Remaster.

>>375997512
Pretty much. The current gen has the problem that you can only drag out the handful of good games for so long until you're back in the drought.

>>375997595
It's actually 4 words: Crash Bandicoot Nsane Trilogy

>>375997512
I've been pretty happy with this generation. Of course, I only picked up my PS4 base model on the day that the Pro launched (got pic related for 200 bucks). But I've always had a game to play, and have consistently enjoyed the games I've been playing, ever since picking one up. BB+all DLC for 20 bucks is worth it. DS2 Scholar of the First Sin for 11 bucks is worth is. NieR and Persona are good enough to pay full price.

I'm not complaining, at least not yet.

>>375997547
You're point? Fucking Sony ponies moving goalpost for literally no reason. It also ran at about 25 fps I know because I owned that shit. On the emulator it runs semi better AND you can access the 7th pillar where is your good now faggot.

>>375993792
The game was designed for arcade units so it's not surprising. Use the custom button mapping to assign some of the trickier patterns.

>>375998402
At their worst they are mildly entertaining, which is more than I can say for most indie titles and old games. Yes the vast majority of old games are crap, the couple hundred that are good are nothing compared to the thousands of shit titles that were made in the 80's/90's.

>>375997792
Why are you so upset about being able to play an 8 year old game?
