PC + Wii U Master Race reporting in.

 

There's not that many note-worthy PS4 or XBONE games coming out that really convince me to buy the console. I got the Wii U because of Bayonetta 2, the Wonderful 101 and my favorite game series of all time, Pikmin 3. Everything else is either being released on the PC, or not even worth the box it comes in.

<3 Pikmin

Guys guys.... We all know Gamecube is the shit.

This is what mine used to look like, I played Pokemon 24/7. I wish they made new pokemon games for other systems. I don't have a DS or nuthin

The only noteworthy game i could think of coming from the XBOX1 is Ryse: Son Of Rome

^ Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

Ryse did look somewhat promising, but a lot of these "next-gen" launch titles are more just tech demos than anything else. Despite the fact that both Killzone: Shadow Fall and Ryse: Son of Rome both look beautiful, they both suck pretty hard and are getting shat on pretty much universally by both critics and players. All these day-one releases seem to offer are good visuals, which isn't really enough to get me sold on even just buying the game, let alone an entire new console just to play it on. While there do seem to be some interesting titles down the road (The Order: 1886, Destiny, Watch Dogs), they're just too far away to justify buying the new console now, and on top of that a lot of those games I mentioned (and many more) are coming out on PC as well, effectively giving me no real reason to buy a ps4 or xbox one. This is probably the worst day one lineup of games I've seen for a new console, as most of the launch titles are either rehashed/upgraded versions of games that have already been released or uninspired, glorified tech demos that are put out just to show the technical capabilities of the new console, while offering relatively little substance.
