Worth it.

>>381061342
They didn't buy the console for the game, they bought the game to justify buying the console.
>>
>>381061754
nah for me it was definitely buying the console solely because bloodborne was exclusive to it then I let it suck up dust for years.
>>
>>381061279
Bought 3ds por pokemon x, back when the console had no actual good games.

Thinking of buying a Wii U

For BOTW and Bayonetta 1&2, but mainly for the Bayonettas

Wii for SS and a Switch for BotW. I did end up play Xenobalde as well, but that's it. I still only own BotW Also, Xbox for Fable. I loved Fable 1. Other two were a travesty.
>>
>>381061279
Yeah I bought a PS4 for Bloodborne. Luckily there were a few other good games on there too later. Still need to finish Nioh.
>>
>>381061279
Wasn't Breath of the Wild literally the only reason to buy a Switch?
>>
Got a Wii for Smash.
Didn't regret it til five minutes ago.
>>
>>381062108
Sit taste.

I bought a 360 pretty much just for Bayonetta. Not really any regrets, I got a lot of use out of it as a Bayonetta machine and a few other games.

The refurbished consoles sold by Nintendo are still $199.99

you can get one cheaper off of ebay but I don't necessarily trust them.

cheek the Game stops in your area and see if any of them have cheep Wii U.

>>381062151
You already know the fucking answer, silence yourself
>>
>>381061279
not really, but one game was often the reason to get a console
>>
>>381061565
This.

>>381061342
Yep. Things are better these days though.
>>
>>381061279
I bought a 360 for Ace Combat 6.

And Rumble Roses XX
>>
I bought an Xbox pretty much only to play JSRF
>>
I bought my Gamecube exclusively because of Resident Evil. EB Games even gave me a free hat when I picked up my preordered game and the console with it, I still regularly wear that hat
>>
>>381062000(checked)
Would it be worth it getting the VR gear just to play it with this?
>>
>>381061279
3ds for pokemon sun.

I bought the Vita for Persona if that counts

At the time I assumed there were more games and it sat pretty much untouched other than occasional bouts of ps2 rpg's until Digimon came out and I dumped another 300 hours into the thing.
>>
>>381061342
Nope, bought it for P5

I actually still don't own Bloodborne
>>
Vita for P4G
360 for Halo 3
PS4 for Persona 5

Its good to know that I have extensive libraries for them now.

>>381061279
I actually built a PC for SWTOR. I was so hyped for it. I was hyped for years. Single biggest let down for me when it comes to gaming. Of course I planned to play other games. Modded DA:O was fantastic. I remember watching Youtube videos of DA:O on PC. It was like a brand new game compared to the Xbox version. But the whole reason I built a PC was for SWTOR. I have played more WoW and FFXIV than SWOTR. It killed the Star War gaming brand for me. Never owned a SW game since.

Name one time were you just wanted the console. This the most retarded shit ever. You dont buy the console on the last leg of its life and 80% of its library.

I miss the days were consoles were already bundled with games without a markup

I bought a ps2 for SotC.
I ended up getting We <3 Katamari, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Beyond Good and Evil later for cheap in a used bin at fucking gamestop and was happy with all of those purchases, but I bought the console explicitly to play SotC and was not disappointed.

The only game that made me buy a console was gta 3 for the ps2. Though if the switch gets animal crossing next year it will be the second.
