Well I wasn't born after 2000 so I feel no inclination to buy an Xbox for instance
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;41061064]That's the thing many people, and even developers, fail to understand, today. There's a massive difference between beautiful graphics, and, um... bloated graphics? Like, if you ask me, Crysis 2 is visually boring as a sin, while it was meant to be the bleeding edge graphics game. Crysis 1 was better in that regard, I think, but still not a spectacle. Then look at Bastion. Even tho it's simple as hell sprite graphics, it's unique, it's refreshing, memorable. It has a sort of soul in it. It should be more of about "Our artists are fucking amazing" and not "we have moar polygonz". That's why I think WiiU has principally little disadvantage in relation to PS4 and XBone, as long as somebody good gets to develop the games.[/QUOTE] Good god, I cannot agree more. I have seen so many games that throw out a shitload of FXAA, Bloom, and Ambient Occlusion to the point where it is just plain ugly. Good graphics aren't about bleeding edge technology or packing your game with as many shaders as possible. Good graphics is all about the subtlety. It is about [I]how[/I] your shaders are used, not how many. I think games like Max Payne 3 fail to understand this and are, for that reason, atrociously ugly.
[QUOTE=J!NX;41061040]or if you like anal sex without lube or a condom, XBox One[/QUOTE] Stop assuming I will want the Xbox One thanks

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;41062752]You're kidding yourself if you really think the wii-u is "next gen", or at least, if you think it deserves that title. It's a lazily made attempt by Nintendo to be the "first next gen console" and it will hopefully fail so that they will either try harder next time or give up altogether and stop making consoles that detract from the main 2 consoles.[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpei_Yokoi#Lateral_Thinking_with_Withered_Technology[/url] this succinctly explains why nintendo consoles are anything but lazy and are actually brilliant in their design philosophy. if you can not recognize this and can only look through the lens of the bleeding edge then i feel sorry for you
I'm glad I finally have an incentive to buy a PS4. The last gen made me buy 360, but PS3 had all the cool (J)RPGs I wanted to play but couldn't afford because the PS3 was expensive as hell at first. Unfortunately the next next gen consoles will be expensive as hell as well.
[QUOTE=Whiterfire;41059902]You're not funny. Wii u actually is pretty decent.[/QUOTE] It's as powerful as a console from 2005...
[QUOTE=sp00ks;41066867]It's as powerful as a console from 2005...[/QUOTE] I presume you're talking about when the guy found the core clock was the same as the Xbox 360 or something, but the Wii U is somewhat faster than the 2005 consoles, even if they share similar frequencies, thanks to architectural differences.

There is such a difference between two processors that clock comparison is a very naive way of comparing them. In the case of a console, you have to take into account the other components, the hardware layout internally (something consoles are very good for actually), and a ton of other factors.
[QUOTE=J!NX;41064121]*sighs and puts it away*[/QUOTE] Like people would notice a difference anyway :v:
[QUOTE=sp00ks;41066867]It's as powerful as a console from 2005...[/QUOTE] not really since all the decently done ports on the wii u ran better and looked better than their counterparts.
