PS3 during its early years wasn't as bad as you make it sound, for me there were some really fun games such as; MotorStorm, Geni: Days of the Blade, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Killzone 2, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (also on 360), Heavenly Sword, Ridge Racer 7 and Virtua Fighter 5 (also on 360/PC).
So yeah, that wraps it up for PS3. *sigh* Just have to be patient until 2016-17 when PS4 actually builds up to have a decent library of games.
That sounds pretty shit to me.
Uncharted Drake's Fortune is one of the worst games I've EVER played. The jump they made to Uncharted 2 is HUGE. Screen tearing, frame rate drops, poor level design, the worst platforming known to man for a AAA game, clunkiness, poor enemy design, a shitty plot... man that game had it all.
IMO,
if you have a gaming PC, buy Wii U > PS4 > XBOX One in that order.
if you don't have a gaming pc, buy a gaming PC > PS4 > wii U > Xbox one in that order.
The sad truth is early adopters are just impatient in terms of buying a console with a limited library but they end up being the most patient as they wait for a few games to trickle down. Other people who invest 2-3 years into a consoles cycle don't have to wait around so much.
May someone please tell me why they prefer the Wii U over the PS4? (just curious). . .
If you have a gaming PC, then a Wii U will provide you with the following games which you cannot get on your platform:
Bayonetta 1
Bayonetta 2
Super Mario 3D World
Super Smash Bros
Mario Kart 8
Mario Party
Wii Party U
Zombii U
Wonderful 101
New Super Mario Bros
Pikmin 3
Wind Waker HD
Lego City Undercover
Nintendoland
The PS4 will currently offer a PC Gamer exclusive content in the form of:
Infamous
Bloodborne
The Order
TLOU Remastered
FFX Remastered
FF Type 0 HD
LBP
I'd say the Wii U selection of games is CURRENTLY better and it fills a hole PC gaming really struggles with: local multiplayer and party games. There are also no real PC equivalents for Mario, Super Smash Bros, MK8, and games which offer unique experiences using the gamepad such as Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3. The PS4's currently exclusive library however has very obvious PC and third party equivalents (apart from TLOU and LBP IMO).
The counterargument for someone who has a gaming PC is Dolphin can satiate your Nintendo needs through emulating the old Wii titles at 1080p resolution or even high and supersampling them down. Thats a very valid point which has seen myself complete Super Mario Galaxy in HD rather than start Super Mario 3D World.
If its a straight up contest versus the PS4 and Wii U with no gaming PCs taken into account.. I think at this point in time the PS4 now wins. With the likes of Witcher 3, Dragon Age inquisition, Bloodborne and the inclusion of huge third party support... I find it hard to really defend the Wii U as a standalone purchase. Its more like the perfect additional console given the lack of fun local multiplayer games and party games on other platforms.
I'm not trying to trash the PS4 btw. I will buy one and I think its lifespan and exclusive library will better the Wii U eventually. The third party games however just steamroll the Wii U as they offer very few equivalents to the big hitting blockbuster RPGs.
