New systems thread of launch regret

I'm waiting to find out which system the shmups decide to go with this gen, as those are some of the few games I really like that don't get home ports regularly. But that will be awhile, so I am good.

Oh hey Sony figured out the one neat thing to steal from the Wii, and it wasn't motion controls.

And that is the thing: for a lot of people out there, even that is too much work to just play a damn game. Having to worry about getting something to run "acceptably" is a foreign concept to people who aren't used to games doing anything other than just running.

DJ, it's like you don't even read what people say, and expect them to somehow prioritize your opinion over their own experiences, so i dunno, maybe don't be such a MASTER RACE dick about things ("oh hey, i am going to ignore what you said and just reiterate my point, the one you already addressed, instead of conitnuing the conversation WHEEEE!!!") especially to someone else who generally plays PC games but was just trying to explain why people don't like them?

also, yeah, i have spent a lot of time fiddling with settings in a lot of games, and man, sometimes it is nice to boot up something and not worry about key assignments of video resolution or AA settings or any of that. i mean, shit, congrats on being the one dude to get ffxiv running at max settings with no fiddling, but me (and a lot of the people playing the game, it would seem), I am still trying to figure out how to make it run at the best framerate with the best settings without running a separate piece of software to do it.

Yeah, there is plenty I like about PC gaming. Heck, I even like that I have the options to fiddle with, provided i don't have to spend too much time with them. My only point originally is that some people don't want to fiddle at all, and PCs will forever require more fiddling than they want (even just using a mouse and keyboard as an interface could fit into this for them) and so consoles will have a market.
