I bought a PS4 but not got many games for it. I had an Xbox 360 before which I've kept. Is it worth buying an XB1 for Dead Rising, Forza, Kinect all games I use to own on the 360? Seems to be more exclusives this gen than last time with the PS3. Anybody else buying both?

Nothing really interests me on the Xbone except Forza.
After hearing that the last of us is being remastered for the ps4 and a rumored release of june that's the deal breaker for me.I am glad i held off buying the last of us for ps3 in the hope it would be released for ps4
With the next gen specs it feels worth buying both consoles due to the graphics and the current exclusive games on both consoles makes it worth it and to think of the future game exclusives that may come.After seeing a game publishers tech demo on a ps4 for example Quantic Dream called the dark Sorcerer on youtube.Their previous game`s heavy rain and 2 souls were brilliant.
It's inevitable that there will be an exclusive I want to play so better to save and get both.
Yet PC gaming is still too expensive? OK.
Not knocking PCs, just not for me.
There's exclusives that can last you 1000 + hours. Civilization 5 and Dota 2 aren't MMOs and are quality games. :cool:
Would rather them than the console exclusives that are story driven and little gameplay. I've heard the new infamous game only takes 6 hours to finish the story. That's their biggest focus and that's all it takes.
Some of us simply don't like PC gaming.
Care to give your reason instead of leaving it there?
There are far more exclusives on PC than all the other consoles combined. But if you are only interested in populist AAA type gaming (which is available on the PC as well) you may as well stick with console if you have already.
Bf4 up till this gen, yeah was missing the scale of pc, but it's pretty much the same now.
I prefer everyone is on a level playing field and experiencing the same thing. With pcs due to everyone's different hardware this can't be certain. Also hacking I believe is more prevalent on pc versions of games. A hacked game just puts me off straight away.
It's just personal preference really. Gaming on a pc simply doesn't feel as good as console gaming to me.
It's because owning both new consoles means access to the exclusives. Console owners see it as hassle free 'plug and play' gaming. Not all AAA* titles come to PC.
I own a gaming rig but still bought a PS4 because I wanted to play Killzone Shadow Fall and I want to play the new Uncharted and the like. We're never going to get them on PC are we. Saying that though, if a game is being launched for PS4 and PC then I'll go for the PC version every time, simply because it's cheaper.
I'm actually with you here, I would build a gaming rig before buying an Xbone. Many MS exclusives are also out on the PC so I would just play them there.
Yep, I agree.
best thing about PC gaming is the price of the games mate.
is that the simple 'plug and play' mate ?.
it happens regardless of cost
Yeah that £350 (excluding games and accessories) and the £300 i'm spends on an Xbox one with games and accessories (when i'll be willing to pay in the future) totaling £650 is the same price i could pay for a top of the range PC and keep it running the latest games for 10 years
The argument for PC gaming is that its better and cheaper but its always that better part that gets me, why would you want a PC that is only slightly better than consoles but not the best, surely you would want to own the best Gaming PC possible at all times or what is the point in even caring about that little bit better to begin with
Then comes the console exclusives, i could have the best Gaming PC ever worth £10,000 but will it play Uncharted? will it play The Last of Us? Will it play RYSE? the answer is no
In 5 years time i'll be waiting for AC10 (or whatever) on PS4 think wow that looks amazing, while the first thought for a PC gamer will be what are the specs do i need to upgrade anything, what do i need for max settings etc, i know which one is better for me
That is not how pirating works, people who pirate wouldn't be willing to pay anything hence why they have stolen it
That and modding, mods can turn a 50 hour game into a 1000 hour game. Consoles are fine if you're happy to play what the devs have given you, if you want to play your way then the PC is where it's at.
Your'e right, it won't play Uncharted or The Last of Us, simply because it will never have the chance. As for 5 years time when your'e sitting playing AC10 on your 5 year old spec, PC will be running the same game with higher, possibly 4k or even 8k resolution. I used to think the same, that PC gaming would be too expensive and require upgrading all the time but I was wrong.
All angles covered.
These days I just want to power on a box and load a game to play. I find consoles perfect for that. Without the hardware tweaking I found PC a lot less enjoyable. Consoles perfectly suit me these days. Although I do miss the modding a game.
To each their own...
