Almost time for the sequel Yahtzee
Why? He should just release this video in 8k and call it a day.
Now, all he needs is THE CONSOLES.
This hasn’t aged well
Summary in this video: “Don’t.”
Summary in the next video: “Can’t.”
It’ll just be a 2 second video where he says “Ya can’t”
i think EA not making games for a console might be a selling point
Especially now.
You're wrong. I buy consoles on the sole premise that they they run run latest fifa.
@@laurijeffrey8246 well unfortunately you have to deal with a bunch of microtransactions
@@laurijeffrey8246 The older console runs the older FIFA, which is hey, EXACTLY THE SAME.
You are mostly right until you realize titanfall was published by ea
Still relevant, incredible.
For the most part. Though I'd say Wii U has a good library of games now.
War (game companies) never changes
Still relevant in 2020
@@PhobosDDeimos not that really Nintendo took their head out of ass and made decent console PC is still the platform tho
Well PS4 turned out to be a good gamer's console, the Xbone and Wii U were dead on arrival though.

Awww :(

Ecco the Dolphin 4 Confirmed XBOX ONE!
I now understand the meaning of PC Master Race
Only took you 8 years! :P
+RunRobotRun911 I miss the times when you went to someones home and he had a console with games you never played. You would them find out about the amazing world of games you never played.
Nowdays you just get the same games as on PC but with lower fps, resolution and a graphical downgrade that reminds you why you never bought a console.
Then you look at the smile of the poor bastard that is enjoying the console version of the game and hopelessly try to make an effort to look amazed by the pile of sh*t that your eyeballs are forced to look at.
You go back home and cant enjoy your amazing PC because you are still sad about your friend, but then you remember he is actually happy with that sh*t and paying for sub quality games that make game developers get lazy and downgrade the PC versiona s well, and your sadness suddenly turns into rage.
Unable to control+alt+delete your emotions you decide that the only course of action is to destroy your friends enjoyment so that he joins the PC master race.
And... thats how We ended up in the internet :D.
Does it have offline co-op, or multiplayer? ...Didn't think so
***** More accurately, exclusive games are just being held hostage by consoles. If you shell out for a console just to play X or Y game, you're playing right into MS/Sony's hands which will encourage them to keep trying to bribe developers and keep those games exclusive to their platform. The whole thing is anti-consumer as fuck.
***** Please building a PC in 2016 to play 2016 sit l is very costly. Not to mention it was hard for me to find what I needed cause of all the parts and technical stuff. I'm getting better and I can play modern games but it's difficult getting in to PC gaming if you don't know that much about computers.
I ended up buying a PS4 to play bloodborne and literally had to blow a layer of dust off it when the old hunters DLC came out.
+HammerspaceCreature I know how that feels.
Same
+HammerspaceCreature i bought a wii u a year ago in anticipation of zelda wiiu how do you think i feel, not only did i wind up having to wait but i then realised there wasn't actually many games i was interested in now the fucking thing is being discontinued at the end of the year and with that i vowed never to buy a nintendo console again they done goofed and now i have to suffer well fuck you nintendo
+mike fletcher And on top of all that misfortune you also have a broken caps lock, full stop AND shift key. Truly a tragedy.
+mike fletcher And to add insult to injury, Zelda U is going to come out for their next console lol
OMG. You summed up my whole idea on the next gen consoles so nicely! Thank you!
Heh, didn't know Kagome was a gamer...
Yup. I am. And so is my Inuyasha. ;D
Right when I wanted to say that its a pity a gamer girl's with someone who doesn't even know how electricity works. Good thing I was wrong.
PC MUSTARD RICE!
DLC ICIOUS
We are the mustard race because Consoles have to ketchup

***** ohh, a spicy twist
Bought myself a PS4 for my birthday, and I did like it very much. I built my first PC (YAY FOR ME!) last month, now I want the PS4 gone.
+Nick Gregory Got ps4 thought it was amazing,got bored and then later found out i need internet connection to play my downloaded games.
+atomic747 you don't need an Internet connection to play downloaded games
+Nick Gregory I went to PC 2 years ago, on my birthday! XD
+Nick Gregory Welcome brother! Enjoy your stay. As for that PS4... i know a few people.

Do i have to start listing PC exclusives? They are way too many. But i have to say Sony makes damn good games.
This is why I went back to playing N64, a system with an emphasis on fun games over connecting to the Internet and not having to press the on button.
The N64 still hampered gameplay due to technical limitations. I think 2D PS1 games are the best example of old games being truly realized.
Got my 360 and PC. I'm good for at least another 3-5 years.
Same here. 360's just perched on my PC, waiting for when I need my occasional Halo fix.
I got a PS3 and a PS2. These are all I need. Honestly, the only reason I would get a PS4 is because of Infamous: Second Son. That's it. I don't care about the graphics or the high resolution. I still play Spider-Man 2, Kingdom Hearts, and Star Wars Battlefront. They're all games that don't need high-quality graphics to make them good games. They have something that far surpasses that; badass game play. When you look back at a good game you don't remember it for its quality, you remember it for the game play and occasionally the storyline.
Same. Got my PS2 for fun gaming, and a 360 for when I want to blow up a building on Split Second Velocity
***** Your fucked then!
*20 if you use emulators.
Funny story. I recently watched an Extra Credits video about the videogame Journey, and it got me interested in finally trying to catch up with the games industry by buying a relatively recent console. So I headed to CEX (Basically like Gamestop for the UK) and found that they were selling 2nd hand PS3s for £90, 2nd hand Xbox360s for £50, and Wiis for £25. How were they able to sell them at such low prices?
Well, according to the shopkeeper, it was because everyone was trading in their previous-gen consoles to help pay for a next-gen one. However, with the rather atrocious state the next-gen was in in terms of consoles and games, everyone was eager to buy back their old consoles. So supply and demand were both enormous for previous-gen consoles, so they could afford to sell them cheap.
And aside from a few freezes and graphical glitches (Though to be fair the games were also 2nd-hand, so maybe it was just a messy disk), my new 2nd-hand PS3 has been handling pretty well, even if finding co-op games for me and my friend-who-doesn't-like-shooting-games to play has been a bit tough (In hindsight, maybe a Wii would have been better in that regard :P )
Michael Welsh I bought my second hand ps3 4 years ago. It was €200 (+- £140) and had an added value of €400, because they didn't include all the downloaded games and DLC packs that the previous owner had installed on the system in their asking price.
Just buy the Game Sphere, it's spherical!
I still remember the first time this episode was being shown in youtube ads for this channel. Such pleasant memories.
Remember when games consoles were just for games and were fun and you could play all games without needing the web or a fucking spy cam on all the time?
Man what the fuck happened?
God I feel the same.
At least every once in a while you get something like Rogue Legacy or Shovel Knight
which just do the trick (have fun that is)...!
I would think EA refusing to make WiiU titles would be a good thing. A console that doesn't have their fucknugget games would actually spark my interest.
As for PS4 and Xbox Juan, I'll get the PS4...when it starts releasing some actual fucking exclusives because let's be fair, out of Sony and Microsoft, Sony has always been leagues ahead with both quantity AND quality whilst MS has trailed behind with same old Halo games and the fact morons think CoD is an Xbox exclusive...and it doesn't force me to pay extra for that camera I don't fucking want.
3DS has also built up a nice library of games since release, and since I've stayed away from Nintendo since they released that fantastic pile of shit the 'Wii', more copy + paste Zelda and Mario games doesn't seem that bad since I've not played those dead horses in about 10 years. You might say they feel 'fresh' since all I've mostly seen are FPS games covered in brown. It's sort of nice to see seizure educing amounts of color for once and a nice plot about saving a princess rather than "there's a war, shoot these bad guys from behind this wall you beefcake man hunk".
WiiU is pointless though since Nintendo has this fantastic idea of releasing WiiU games on the 3DS as well, which totally stops me needing a WiiU since I can already play it's god damn games.
PC? Eh, mostly chock full of either:
- Multiplatform games I can play on console. They might have lesser graphics but I couldn't care less if I'm enjoying the experience. The difference isn't exactly blowing my dick off with leagues of superiority.
- Pretentious fucking indie games that try so god damn hard to portray a deep, emotional message and surviving solely on one, mediocre gameplay mechanic.
- Throwaway indie games that are fun for 5 minutes and last 10 minutes that I'll forget about instantly.
- Retro based indie games that use nothing but nostalgia to sell the game whilst pretending they have innovative new ideas when in reality, they're just ideas we've forgotten about since the SNES was released x amount of years ago.
- 400,000 god damn minecraft and DayZ clones.
- MMO's and RTS's
I don't exactly find myself rushing to get a £1000 gaming PC when all it's really going to be used for are one or two MMO and RTS games that I like and the rare indie game that is actually fun and interesting among the piles of shit that an open platform such as the PC allows.
***** i see your point and my steam library is the same but only because of humble bundle where i get a bundle for 1 or 2 games in it and ignore the rest i've even had to give away a bunch of games because i already own them from previous humble bundle's
Obvious troll is obvious.
You can always get a cheaper PC and upgrade it later. You know... when you get more money...... BY WORKING. Problem status: SOLVED!
With a PS4:
$400 for the system
$60 for an extra controller
$800 for 20 games
$300 for 5 years of PS plus
Total: $1560
And then when the lifecycle of the console is over you have to buy it all over again.
With a PC:
$400-800 for PC
$40 for TWO controllers
$400 for 20 games (very generous, not including steam, GOG, GMG sales or humble bundles)
$0 for online fees
Total: $990-1390
And the PC will continue to serve you for many years to come.
Higher resolution, higher texture quality, higher effects quality, better anti aliasing, anisotropic filtering, higher frame rates, higher FOV, a choice of either multiple monitors or TVs, shorter loading times, superior input devices, potentially unlimited storage space, no issues with backwards compatibility, VR (Oculus Rift, Virtuix Omni, Myo and Araig) on the horizon, emulation, no payments for online access, the ability to do your own upgrades and repairs, entire exclusive or near-exclusive genres, longer warranties, not tied to one online service because it is an open platform, a wider range of games, more games than every console combined, more mature online player base, cheaper games with regular sales and weekly Humble Bundles, loads of mods most of which are free, free fan made fixes and support for games even after publishers are gone, free abandonware......
Not to mention that a PC can also be used for surfing, communicating, working, creating, developing your own games, shopping, watching videos etc....
Yea good luck running the best graphics on new games on a PC 400-800 there buddy shows how much you know
BrownPower92 The GTX 750ti outclasses the PS4.
Battlefield 4 runs at 1080p 60fps with it vs the PS4's 900p 60fps.
BrownPower92 With a 400$ rig you might not get the "best graphics", but you're still going to be playing games at better settings than on a 400$ console.
BrownPower92 Plus all of the added benefits of an open platform.....
BrownPower92 I built my comp[uter for ~$800 and i can run pretty much any game on highest settings.
One of my biggest gripes with next gen consoles, or at least with PS4, is there's now no damn reason to buy a physical copy of a game anymore. Before, you could buy a physical copy and play it instantly, the only space it takes up being the Save Data with the option of buying a digital copy at the cost of it taking up more space. Now you still have to download the entire game, Physical or Digital copy. So if you have an interest in many games like me, you're going to be managing space a lot more between downloading games, and reserving space for later updates for your current games, especially since there's a lot of games that are absolute WHORES for space, Call of Duty Modern Warfare being the most infamous example taking up almost 150 fucking GB of space. With last generation, i only ever had to do a mass-deleting of games ONCE, in close to a decade of playing on the same Xbox 360, with probably around a hundred games on there, yet with the PS4 i have had to mass-delete several games dozens of time over around 4 years.
Oh, and if you have multiple accounts on the same console across multiple consoles, and you don't buy all of the games on the same account, you end up with having to deal with the bullshit of the owner of that game not being the owner of the console. To translate this confusing drivel, i'll give an example that's happened recently: I bought Bloodborne on my brothers' account, his account is on 1 console, in his room. We have 2 PS4s in separate rooms, and if i want to play Bloodborne, i'll have to either play on his console when he's not playing , or Log his account into my other Console and make his account the owner of that PS4 to gain access to the games bought on his account....and lock him out of practically any games he'd want to play in the process. So in order to get around this, you'd have to buy the same game across two consoles on 2 separate accounts just to be able to play it when you want.
I really hope consoles bring back the benefits of physical copies again, because my reasons for owning one dwindle more and more as time goes by. My main reasons for owning a console were its simplicity of popping the disk in and playing, and Local Multiplayer. Nowadays consoles are, at least on surface level, just as complicated as owning a PC, and Local Play, while being theoretically far more comfortable on a console than a PC, is basically a myth at this point because many games have multiplayer and CoOp as features, but almost NEVER think "hmm, it'd be nice to play this with my family and friends when we're all in the same house", so that reason is gone. Honestly the only reason i still play on PS4 anymore nowadays is because my dad hasn't gotten into PC gaming, so that basically sealed what we'll all be playing on. I plan on eventually Converting him and at some point so i don't have to deal with this bullshit anymore.
That is technically not possible, unless you’re fine with having 3x load times. Having the game on the console’s drive is MUCH better, as the disk speed no longer suffices. The wait for the game to copy onto the disk is but a small price to pay
OH GOD THIS IS 10 YEARS OLD NOW
Wow I forgot how many missteps they took with the xbox one at first, I’m so glad they dropped the kinect pushing and always online stuff quick
Console
Can't-sole
Can't-sell
except ps4 and switch have sold like crazy
Buy a pc. You will be happy.
But does it have Red Dead Redemption? no? will better luck next time.
Derpy guy Do you know, how many exclusive games are made for the PC? I don't know the number, because THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM! Here is a small list:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PC_exclusive_games
StarTrek123456 Yeah i know that Half-Life and Portal 1 and Gmod and all that other stuff, but seriously is there a free-roaming game set in the western parts of America in 1910/1914? with a great story telling, great dialogue, and a great arsenal of weapons? and some bad-ass bounty hunting? and random quests? and funny little glitches? i am getting a PC, but without Red Dead Redemption it's pointless, therefore i am keeping my PS3 and i'll just have a PS4 and a PC although i won't be much happier than i did with my lovely PS3.
Derpy guy You are a PS3 fanboy just because you like ONE exclusive of it?
StarTrek123456 No, i like the PS3 because of the fun time i used to have on it years ago like when i "Killzone 2 multiplayer" "Battlefield 3" "GTA IV" (that was more optimized than the PC version), and let me tell you something a fanboy is someone who just throws money at a developer at whatever they're developing, while i consider what the developers are going to give me before i empty my wallet, and also the fanboy will attack anyone who doesn't think that his console or PC is more superior, and as you would have seen i didn't attack you even though you accused of something that is false.
1:20 Exactly. When the Wii U was announced, I was excited: "Hooray! I can keep playing even if my family needs the TV to watch a soccer game" I thought to myself, but there weren't any actual games for it until the Wind Waker remake! To this day, I say the biggest mistake Nintendo made with the Wii U was announcing it before they actually had any games for it! The Will had Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as a launch title, so of course it sold well.
Here are the facts as i understand them.
1#. The Xbone and PS4 have very few exclusives worth the money.
2#. The good games avaible on those consoles are multiplatform, avaible on their previous versions and PC.
3# The WiiU have superiour exclusives and is cheaper to pick up.
4# The PC have almost every big name game, save for the exclusives.
Solution: Buy a WiiU for its exclusives and get a gaming PC for the multiplattform titles.
BlitzBurn Agreed. It honestly feels like, at this point, Nintendo is the only one who knows what they're doing, considering very few PS4 and XBOne games are exclusive, instead either being on PC, which a lot of people have, or PS3 and 360, which gives no reason to fucking upgrade. At least Nintendo's making games for the Wii U.
BlitzBurn The first one is wrong and the third one is 100% pure opinion and not actual fact.
Thats....not a very good solution X_X
Rockymann27 Tell me, which Xbone and PS4 exclusives make their respective consoles buying?
BlitzBurn Are you wanting my opinion on it? Cause a game that i find fun and worth it, you may hate and not say its not worth it. These are all opinions, but i will give you a few of mine:
infamous: second son, last light, toukiden: kiwami, etc.
***** No its not....its from the infamous second son series, a spin off. It is definitely not on pc, but good try trolling lol
So interesting to see how this stuff ages.
Genuinely helpful buyer's guide! I'm going to watch this video every time I feel the need to update my console.
I'm getting a used PS4 to play Last Guardian, Horizon Zero Dawn, Wild, Scalebound, UFC and NHL and a few others (Xbox has no exclusives I'm interested in - Sucks because it's so much cheaper because no one wants one). Then I'm selling it.
And I wouldn't bother if I could play these on PC. But you can't and that's the point
There is usually very little you can't buy for PC or emulate. PC is not a master race. It's just not even in the same class as a console. There is no competition when you can modify or run a game better to your liking, whether you understand what vsync is or just know that you want to use a mod to change the color a little.
I would always choose a PC before any console so long as I have the money for it. And considering the cost of these consoles plus the fact that plenty of people buy xbox and PS and wii, you could easily get a good computer for that price.
Scalebound is an Xbox exclusive ..... And because of that, it is playable on a Windows 10 PC. And UFC and NHL games aren't exclusive to either console either. Only half of the games you listed are actually exclusive to the PS4.
lmao the moment u said pc is not a master race you lost all the argument. The pc master race thing is JUST A JOKE
+Daxter yeah it's a joke to some people
You probably should have kept reading... Your comment makes no sense.
You can emulate alot of exclusives also im from the future horizon is on steam.
The lack of backwards compatibility in all of these consoles both infuriates and mystifies me.
Not sure if I am growing out of videogames or vdeogames now days are utter shit.....
No dude.
They are dropping the ball left and right. For years, single player shooters advanced. Now that has stagnated. The campaign mode in shooters is now trash. The old games are better. Halo: Combat Evolved has better single player than BF4/CoD Ghosts/Etc. The AI in the new games is non-existant and levels are just linear set pieces. With each playthrough being identical to the last.
Japanese games are hung up on old style. Where they do pre-rendered cut scenes. Pre-rendered cut scenes and QTEs need to go the way of the dinosaur.
Hopefully gaming can bounce back. The single player shooter experience is what I been missing. Seriously play Halo 1 in Heroic by yourself and you will see the game is better. And there's hardly any "go toward this dot" radar shit. You actually have to explore the levels.
It's strange what games have become. But what you and I have to remember, is that there is a steady stream of young people just starting to play games. It's like the music industry, you can release trash as long as it has cheap thrills and high production value.
Knowledge is real my brother.
Naw they're utter shit. Go back and play some of the games you enjoy and you'll see how much fun they were. It's sad because I still have more fun with games I beat over 40 times then the new shit we get now days because well it's shit.
Im actually a big supporter of the indie industry, mainly because the majority try to break the mold and create something THEY want to play not something that numbers have proven to be popular and do the same shit over and over again because it sells, for example: Hotline Miami, Fez, Overgrowth, Rogue Legacy, Don't Starve, and many more. So why don't you turn your head over to indie games? Also, yes, there are a lot of lazy companies that try to get easy cash by making minecraft ripoffs, but try to ignore them
Blaskenobi The master of the Universe I agree the majority of my steam library are actually indie games.
YOU WILL END ON THE INDIE SIDE AND LATER YOU WILL QUITE GAMES, AND THAT INST A BAD THING, MORE TIME TO SPEND DOING SOMETHING MORE CREATIVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
Regarding the PC vs console battle, there are many people who prefer owning laptops than Desktop PCs (for personal stuff) due to their lifestyle (students, techies) and these are the ones that buy consoles instead of buying a ridiculously expensive and not-mobile-in-any-way laptop. Moreover, you can carry your console around when you go home/gf's place during weekends.
The PC is well, a PC and therefore does EVERYTHING. And in this age, if you find it difficult to install/start a game in PC (as compared to console) you would rather play candy crush on your ipad.
The only win-win for both parties is when the console manufacturers introduce modular consoles (sort of like project ARA for phones) where you can upgrade components as easily as changing your laptop battery and as an added bonus provide the option of running your favorite OS when you are not playing your games.
4:54 that description is perfect
The GTX 750ti outclasses both consoles, costs less than most consoles, is replaceable if your tastes in games do catch up with your specs, has infinite backwards compatibility and has a wider selection of games.
I have a 980ti (upgrading to titan X for Christmas :D) and its already more powerful than all three consoles combined, not even with overclock.
+Matt Cubed you still need to buy the rest of the pc though xD
the kroginator No doubt that a high end PC will set you back more than a console will (which is nice, it filters out the squeakers) but I think every cent was worth it.
completely agree! finished building mine a few months back and ended up spending more on it than necessary and I still think, even with some money waste, that it's worth it's price :p I for one am not going back to console any time soon ...
+Matt Cubed Titan X is kinda a downgrade from a 980ti, which would outperform the X in most practical situations :P
TheCatOfWar I got a custom waterblock with active cooling backplate so it works really well.
Yeah, I'm only gonna get a PS4 because of Infamous Second Son... and I gotta say that I agree with your metaphor of "holding it hostage."
I can think of only 3 games I would want on the PS4 that I couldn't get on PC: Infamous, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Final Fantasy 15.
dethbreth8 Oh yeah... forgot about kingdom hearts 3, that's another reason for getting the ps4 lol
***** No offense but not every single game in existence should be on PC, or at the very least, not every game does better with a mouse and keyboard
You missed the point, yes some games are better with a mouse and keyboard, but I meant genres like platformers, driving games, fighting games, etc, they do better with a controller, or in fighting games case, arcade sticks and buttons
***** driving games better on a controller? what!? what what the the fuck fuck? what the fuck!?
sorry. but aren't you a little ball of special?
Two years old and it's still good advice.
4:09 this is commonly known as the Euphemia Conundrum
Let's do a problem comparing :
PS4 : -Overheats very quickly -Problem with some games -No custom USB settings
Xbox One : -U.S Government spying -Cloud system may not work all the time thus rendering some games useless -Cannot change internal HD
Wii U : -Horrible main controller, thank god we can change these -2005 outdated graphics
PC : +None so far
The only issue with PC is that you have to have the ability to spend a good amount of money to build a decent rig, and you have to spend even more money to constantly update that rig. That's why we have consoles, for people who are serious about gaming but don't have enough money to afford a good PC.
XanrosSinsinger So far in MY OPINION the only "decent" console is the Wii U, it doesn't have much problems aside of out dated graphics, in wish i really don't care. But the controller options like using the classic Wii remote/nunchuck is amazing. Playing FPS games with these for example is amazing. Other than that i'm not interested on the Xbox One or the PS4 either.
XanrosSinsinger >> u do realize that if you spent the money right the first time you wouldnt need to constantly upgrade... havn't changed my pc in 3 years and it still plays most games at high settings/ and if the games are on consoles it plays them with better visuals. To understand this at most you may buy a new graphics card once every well 3-4 years now, if you want to upgrade your quad core processor ?? pretty much same thing or longer. Right now the hardware is upgrading faster than the software to use it although that is most likely due to the fact that most pc games nowadays are console ports.
wnxdafriz Indeed correct.
XanrosSinsinger It's not that much more expensive than what you're using to type that comment on CZcams just now. My PC has been around for 5 years now and is still going strong, no hardware updates or anything.
It was 2014... I got my very own Xbox one. IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE! (Not trying to offend ps4 users) I started searching up about Xbox one CZcams a month later. I was HYPNOTIZED. (I never knew that until now) I was a console lover. I used to be offended by ps4 users in comments. I was In this huge war until I heard about this crap pc master race thing. I was now friendly with ps4 users, but I never bought a ps4. And I then hated pc. I was in this until I found someone in real life that was a pc master race guy. We argued until he wouldn't believe me and neither would I. Just then I realized... I was a lame person that hated on other people for the choice they had of which console they should buy.I then resolved the problems with him, and I became his friend. He then realized that he was one of those people too. Now we don't hate on consoles. Not even pc. If your reading this, I hope you become someone who enjoys their console of choice and stop hating. Enjoy.
"Console of choice"
That'll be none of them then.
+Matty Blay Suppose it depends on how much you spend on it. I paid less than $180 on my Xbox One and got a free game and a free extra controller, so totally worth the cost.
+Matty Blay Hi I'd like a trumpsole with trump sauce on it with some shitty hardware and some ripoff excluses as a side. Also some trump fries please with trump sauce too.
+xmx900 xbox live Thats alot of Trump Sauce xD
+BossOfBlocks Yeah, yeah, no...
Games are fun, consoles are pointless.
and here i am 6 years later. i havn't bought any console, upgraded my pc and lost like 2 exklusive games i wanted to play.... was a good advice
PC MASTER RACE!
Except for the Wii U. It's pretty fun.
*cough* SMASHBROS4NINTENDOLANDCPTTOADTREASURETRACKER *Cough*
The Scout Here Peasant, you cannot be the master race unless you own all consoles and a PC, we are the gaming gods. Back to the fields.
NeovisionX cause owning all consoles and a pc is so cheap...
Josefig Just listen to the overlords mate
NeovisionX I think of the Master Race as the people who play on both console and PC and don't bitch about either one being better than the other
I have previously owned every console including PC but EXCLUDING The Xbox One.
Even though I play ps3 pc is still way better than all consoles
I play 360, and agree.
wow you just said the most retarded thing I have ever seen that's like me saying I play ps3 more then xbox but xbox is better
waffleman superwaffle I think PC is way better, but I don't have a good PC, so I play 360.
ok then sorry
i wont get a pc but i will admit it is better for other people i still enjoy my playstation and thats all that really matters
I think Yahtzee should remake this video, and judge the consoles for what they are instead of what everybody thought they might be like he did in this video.
But that basically is what they are, sadly, i was hoping they'd be a lot better, the XBONE flopped and the PS4 isnt too far behind, makes me sad as i LOVE my PS2 and my 360 :/
Here's how it would go:
*Intro Rock*
"They're still shit!"

ChunkNinja i wo uld watch the fuck out of that c:
Yaahtze foresaw the future at 4:50 (Bloodborne)
it's been 10 years and this still is correct for our current next gen
my ps3 is about to die soon (or at least so I think)
How much longer do you think ps3 will be availble for purchase?
How long after the realese of the PS3 was it still possible to buy unused PS2s
I think they officially discontinued PS2 in 2012, of course there are still new, unsold PS2s as well as refurbished and used ones. If Sony's financials are any indication, you'll be able to buy PS3s (new or refurbished) for a while yet as well.

"I think they officially discontinued PS2 in 2012"
Oh, okay then.
Ps2 will always be the greatest console ever made.
I remember buying an Xbox 360 for christmas long ago, one of them packs with "awesome" games and some gimmickie controller stuff. Spent 450€ on the thing and literally played it twice. Never again. I'd rather spend 1k every 5 or 6 years and actually make use of the PC than spending 400-800€ to play the 2 or 3 odd exclusive games and let the console rot for the rest of time.
Ya know if you switch the seats of Nintendo and Sony at 00:34 you'll have a S&M reference
Last console I bought was a Wii. Didn't regret it at all. Skipped PS3 and XBox360, went to PC, never looked back.
Steam: Lets you play fun games.*
*As long as you have an internet connection.
Which games?
Everything that isnt a console exclusive.
Ahem, you mean 'EVERY GAME FUCKING EVER MADE'.
***** umm, didnt i say 'Console Exclusives'?
LeAmmitioneur take everything 100 percent, serious won't you? And just add the extra unecessary "ummm" like a true douche.

i did take it seriously.

The ending was unexpected...and perfect xD God, I love you Yahtzee.
excuse me if I'm wrong about this because the only next gen console I'm planning on getting is the wii u(dont question it just answer my question) but why do ppl keep saying that the kinect cant be turned off? is it wirelessly connected to the xbone or something? why cant you just disconnect the kinect from the xbone? also why do ppl keep saying that you cant turn it off like its an issue, I dont understand why its an issue now and not when it was on the xbox 360 which I got with the kinect and from my experience that thing was on at all times, im not sure about when I was actually playing a game on the xbox 360 if it was on or off because my eyes were glued to the TV screen most likely because I'm playing sonic generations or darksiders 2, both games I love to death and I couldnt give two flying shits about he kinect after I finished kinect adventures with my cousins, we got some exercise out of it, no doubt about that and some of the mini games were enjoyable, but after that I was gonna get sonic free riders since I loved sonic riders on the gamecube, but then I found out that it controls like shit with the kinect and decided that the only use I would have for the kinect is motion capture for when I start animating on my new PC, makes it much easier to get the character animations since I dont need to do much work and I just find motion capture animations to be more human like anyway, so plz tell me, why is it an issue that the xbone's kinect doesnt turn off because unless im completely wrong about this the kinect on the xbox 360 was always on anyway even when in games(although im not too sure on this part when it comes to game that dont utilize it)
If you look in the description it says that the game that is being showed here is _The Escapists_.
I waited until Bloodborne came out to get a PS4, thanks Yahtzee!
You want the best next-gen system? Buy a PC! The next-next-gen system! or simply put it, the only true Next-Gen system.

Ok I'lll get PS4 then. Ok now to play Crusader Kings 2...oh wait! Ok mayby some Red Orchestra 2 then...oh yeah. Ok some Civilization V will be fun...damn. Gah ok I'll go with Shadowrun: Hong Kong...oh for fucks sake!
+Pikkabuu the only game ive heard of or even played from your list is Civilization V XD
Pikkabuu Thanks for the counter-trolling fellow brother of the PCMR.
+cdr4us
Check the rest out too. They all are fun games and I have had lots of fun playing them.
+Darkness1984
Ok. Only good games this time:

also one thing I found odd about the PS4 and xbone were that they dont support the previous controllers, although in the dualshock 3's case I dont think I'd use that over the dualshock 4, but in the xbone's case I wonder why didnt they still allow the use of the xbox 360 controllers? i saw it in the wii which had support for the gamecube controllers until they made revisions and sent out new versions without the controller support, and the wii u only has gamecube controller support in super smash bros with the gamecube adapter but still why dont microsoft and sony let their customers use the older controllers? i can understand in the ps4's case if the game REQUIRES the use of the touch pad and using a dualshock 3 is out of the question, but in the xbone's case it doesnt have something like that, in fact the only difference in button layouts between the xbone controller and the x360 controller, are the start and back buttons but thats it
This was very entertaining, great stuff man
Yahtzee has to make a new one off these!
Consoles used to be fun, with fun games, a variety of games, and games you actually wanted to play. Even the poor could get to enjoy them down the line, when the next generation came along and the older consoles and games got cheap enough for the masses to enjoy through the second hand market. Gaming really was for all the people for every platform, everywhere, no one was left behind.
It was so simple. Get the machine, get the game, play the game.
Aah, the good old days...
No online subscription fee (on top of what you're already paying for internet access), no subscriptions to play within just one particular game world, no "micro" transactions to get at another part of the game, no payments to reactivate a pre-owned game that you've paid for once already, no firmware updates (for a console?!?), no patch updates (for a console game?!?), no DRM, no further investment needed whatsoever.
Then the suits and evil corporations took over the whole market and milked it all to death, while duping those who still stayed faithful to the latest consoles out of religious devotion into thinking that the old ideals were still being adhered to, that everything is still as it was, while draining their bank accounts dry with their credit card details perpetually bouncing around their massive cloud servers, that always works when taking money is involved, but oddly stop working on a regular basis when you try to actually play a game, even after you've successfully navigated all their numerous terms and conditions.
This is why I now prefer PC, older computers and consoles prior to the 7th generation (apart from the original Wii, the last truly fun console, (plus a funny name that outside of Japan in the English speaking world, sounds like one half of Wee Wee!)). So I can continue to enjoy games, even on a low budget, while still being free of the evil console corporate overlords. PC and retro gaming is the way I've found to fight the power!
Perhaps if others took the same stance and joined the Rebel Alliance as I have, the meglomaniacal Imperial console corporations may yet be defeated.
Until then, consoles are dead.
To paraphrase what someone on Star Wars once said, "The more they squeeze, the more systems slips through their fingers!"
...arogant stupid PC dickheads called us peasants and other names and that they have said that they have 60 FPS,4K and lots of other crap.
This was a very normal and understanding conversation.
Could you re-do this video with all the current information seeing as how the xbox one isn't ridiculously retorted (as far as i know) anymore?
Why is everyone hating on the wii u you don't have to go out and buy a TV to play and only requires one cord to play and if you cant use the TV you can just play on the tablet and the wii u has some pretty decent games
i personally am only buying the wii u for 2 reasons: 1. the games. 2. the fact that unlike microsoft or sony products they last. i had a miserable time with my xbox 360, that shit was breaking down all the fucking time and since then it has oforever scarred me for life from buying anything that isnt a nintendo console, nintendo consoles should come with a sticker on the side reading "guaranteed 5 year consistency" or something since nintendo consoles have never broken down for me, my wii lasted since I first bought it with NO ISSUES whatsoever and its probably the biggest reason for why I'm only buying a wii u, besides the games ofc
I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I'm switching to PC!
GOOD
pc is only good, I mean, the ability to put together a pc is a good skill, no one likes carrying all of that money around
I have to say this as a Sony fan: they did a great work with the PS4 when providing a great hardware that can withstand some heavy frame-rate bumfuck, and it's also good that all you have to do on the PS4 is just plug it in, play the game you want without wasting time, but the no backwards complatibility (yeah i misspelled it) is a really wrong fucking choice, therefore i am getting a PC along with a PS4 since the PS4 outclassed the PC by playing the game you want fast enough without having to sit 3 minutes through the PC loading every-fucking-thing and by that time you could have just plugged in a console and played the game already.
Derpy guy ps4 oulclassing a pc? pfffffft sorry ik that the ps4 is powerful but nooooo it is NOT that fast, the pc you're testing that stuff on is just slow cuz if you load up a pc with the right equipment then it will open anything within half a second. also did you not know that you can download the old ps3 games from PSN?
Minecast Zyad48 I meant "outclass" as in "price and time required to play a game"... also Steam and Origin both take time to fucking load up.
Honestly, anything that can play the games I want and that I can play with friends on is great for me (you can play local co-op on a PC; an Xbox, Playstation or Steam remote can hook up with it). Gaming on the go is fun too, Nintendo is the king of handhelds with the exception of the PSP/PS Vita, but why get those when you can get a full Playstation? A PSP is half the price for a third of the games. Would you rather pay for a single choclate, or get a buy-one-get-one-half-off at the mint truffle station?
Basically, one console or PC and one handheld should be enough. I’ve had so many consoles from so many companies that I just draw straws for which new console I get.
This would’ve been nice info to have years ago. I really should’ve stuck around for more than the Serious Sam 3 review...
Got my 3ds, my PC, I'm good.
Me too! I do want a Wii U
I actually bought a WiiU specifically to play Bayonetta and I'm not going to lie. 100% worth it! I'm glad I gave Nintendo my money so I could watch a dominatrix fuck shit up in the most over the top way. It'd be like if someone told me to buy a really bland cake but once I bought it I could buy this really fucking awesome cake topper that pole danced and had legs longer than the Eiffel Tower.
Wonder if Yatz is going to do a follow up after e3 when Scorpio is revealed
The pool part always gets me.
I hate the no backwards compatibility thing. The PS2 has my favorite games ever on it. I only want a PS4 for the new Kingdom Hearts game. Why bother getting it if it can't replace my old PS2?
Remember the old ps2, pop that disc in and play the hell out of it. What irritates me the most these days are all requirements for being able to play games and i hope it's something they will understand one day
I am starting to see videos comparing ps5 and xbone 2. Usually ending with a "Which one are you going to buy?" I immediately think of this video. Especially the ending.
love the quote for 2:08
just buy a pc!
PC MASTER RACE
sadly that is true
WiiU, GameCube, PS3, and PC are all I need.
Amen
But also N64 and Dreamcast
and MAYBE drop the ps3 imo
Depends on the game really, and on the competence of the developer to design their engine to respond to particular controls.
I think instead of fighting among each other about "THE SYSTEM I SPENT MONEY ON IS BETTER THAN YOURS." We should all shut up and just all enjoy being gamers. You remember when being a gamer got you made fun of in school? I do, I remember having my secluded group of "loser" friends. Gamers should stick together, not pit a pointless war against one another.
PS4 still hasn't included a 'Fuck Off' Button yet...
and then Bloodborne became a PS4 exclusive and stockholm syndrome set in
Why not? I did, and still do it for friends. Especially around now with all the holiday deals
Got my laptop. I'm good. After burning out on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, my Wii is now only used in my bedroom for Netflix. Nearly the same thing for my 360, but I also stream CZcams and I
Ever since the NES vs Sega, I have been buying both consoles and enjoying the best of both worlds. That is, right up until this last generation of consoles (PS4 and Xbox One). In the gigantic time between last gen and new gen consoles, I ended up buying a new and improved pc and doing most of my gaming on that. I eagerly awaited buying the next gen consoles, but after seeing their shitty specs and their shitty exclusives I have to say that I have chosen to buy neither and just stay with my pc.
I'm not saying that pc is and always will beat consoles, but with the current next-gen consoles being so shit, pc will be the best gaming platform for at least as long as it takes for the consoles to get their shit together.
kyotheman69 to bad that kingdom hearts isnt even sony exclusive anymore with kingdom hearts 3 coming to xbox one aswell
i personally am fucking done with the discussion of which one I should buy since neither have the games that I want unless we're talking multiplats which are on PC anyways and titanfall is a PC game as well, and the only next gen console I'm getting is the wii u, why? because it has good games that I actually want to play, but if I needed to choose which console I would get, it would be the PS4, i have had the worst experience ever with my xbox 360 and I have since then never wanted to buy anything but a nintendo console after that, nintendo consoles last the longest without hardware failures, you buy a nintendo console and that is guaranteed to last at the very least 5 years with no breakdowns or issues, and its the second reason why I'm only going for nintendo consoles this year, also as for the consoles vs PC argument, PC is superior and it always will be, in terms of everything from control, to power, to compatibility to being able to do other stuff besides gaming on it, the only thing that holds the argument on which is better is the games which are exclusive on consoles... but given the fact that only nintendo exclusives seem to be the best and only worthwhile games on the market, not to mention to MOST exclusives on the market, the PS4 and xbox one in terms of games pale in comparison to the games PC has, ofc thats subjective but from my perspective, the ps4 and xbox one wont be getting a purchase from me, until I see any worthwhile titles on them, and no halo is not one of them, i HATE playing first person shooters with an analog stick for camera movement, it just fucking sucks. although if I can praise one thing about the consoles, more specifically praise the PS4, its the dualshock 4, i use controllers with my PC all the time and the dualshock 4 is hands down the best controller I've ever used, its so responsive, the analog sticks have enough resistance but not too much, the analog sticks have barely any noticeable deadzone which leads to wickedly smooth control and the four face buttons have a smaller deadzone as well which means that you can mash the buttons even faster than before, I personally couldnt care about controller button layout, just so long the controller delivers on the control side of things so the analog sticks being symmetrical isnt that big of an issue for me, in fact after a while of playing with it they feel natural to me
Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil They cut support for the wii pretty early though.
Rockymann27 whats your point?
Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil That nintendo drop first party support of there consoles pretty fast compared to the other 2.
Lets settle the console vs console or consoles vs pc war.
Ignoring the price tag, PC is much more superior to consoles(no contest, really..)
However, PC requires more intelligence to work more money to make and more effort to make work. Whereas consoles are good for the simple plug it in put the disc in and click the button there ya go you're playing a game. So really its up to YOU which you want more. A platform that is quite expensive and time consuming but overall a much better machine, or an overpriced(yet still cheaper than PC) machine thats good for simple enjoyment. That settles the Consoles vs. PC fight, now on to Console vs. Console.
The PS vs. xbox fight is pointless because no matter how squinty eyed you look at them each one will only ever be slightly superior/inferior to the other. The PS will never outclass the xbox majorly and vise versa. Hope this gets through to some people :P
Note : Oh sorry i almost forgot, *LOUD FART NOISES*
Sounds like the debate between the top shelf and the bottom shelf; they both get you drunk, it's just how they do it. You can't stop me from judging you for suggesting that Old Crow should be the creme de le creme of whiskey.
IRocaNox Warning : skip to the bottom if you dont care enough to read the novel i just wrote... >>Certainly requires more work and intelligence than shilling out a crisp 400 dollars and plugging it in like with consoles. Also i dont think you can get a 1080p 60fps PC for 400-500 dollars? And no PCs are not cheaper in the long run because in a year where the average console gamer buys like 4-7 games (240$-420$) (i only buy like 2-3 fyi) and 60$ for online, unless you're a total prude with your money chances are you are gonna be upgrading your PC alot in a year what with all the new technology thats released for computers. You can't exactly calculate as the amount spent is dependant on the person, but lets say 200 on the short end and 700 max(unlikely but there are some out there). average pc owner will spend upwards of 400 dollars a year on upgrading their pc, not to mention what they probably spend on games during steam sales(adds up). I think PCs will be more in the long run as well. That being said, its well worth it. I think even if you're a casual gamer if you are anything into graphics or just good old fun times, PCs are the way to go. I'd gladly spend a thousand dollars on a PC if it means i can play skyrim in crisp 1080p 60fps while running hilarious mods. Anyway, this is way too fucking long. -------------------------------------------------------------Basis of the story : I think PCs require more intelligence, effort, and money. But are worth it
Ne2o
you are correct
I am just waiting for the next console fanboy to reply to Ne2o.
Philp Yung I say bring it. for i am a console fanboy myself, that is where i get my power from. They don't stand a chance against my logic.
2017, still rocking the XBox 360.
You can turn one PC into many and multiply its value,
There are software solutions out there that can essentially add a terminal to your PC and allow a second user to play games or browse in parallel to whatever you're doing without even interrupting each other. All you need is a second keyboard, mouse, and display. You can turn your single PC into up to 6. SoftXPand is the only software I know of that can do this on Windows, however. For Linux, you have multiseat.
still relevant a year later
Going to be relevant for the next decade more like.
Yatsi Kaamrev And I'm sure when the next generation of consoles is about to come out this will start all over again.
2:53 I didn't know Yahtzee watched Pewdiepie.
Yes, Pewdiepie is the only person on the internet that does let's play videos.
He never said PewDiePie.
Read the text on the screen at 2:53, I was making fun of PewDiePie.
PewDiePie is not the only one who does this.
What? The text on the screen at 2:53 is pretty much a perfect summary of PewDiePie.
Just built my Console replacement. So happy.
what's the song that plays at the beginning?
I half-expected this video to just be him saying "don't buy next gen consoles" and then 5 and a half minutes of nothing
Wii U and PC are the only ones worth buying at this point. All the other two have is a whole bunch of spunkgargleweewee that plagued them the previous generation. At least Nintendo understands that in order for a console to be a must buy, you should at least have some exclusives that aren't the same thing over and ... oh wait...
This is surprisingly relevant to current next gen consoles.
Nintendo going all in first (except it wasn't a flop), Sony only revealing the controller and everyone stearing awkwardly who will reveal the price first.
What about Steam Machines? Are they any good?
so... basically just go PC?
Always go PC.
I bought myself a wii-u, mostly because I love Nintendo games, and I'm sure they will still be playable decades after release. But it seems to me that they never do a price drop on their first party titles! Super mario 3d world has been out for almost three years, Nintendo, If I had €60 to pay for it I would have done it by now!
***** Well its that the games usually stay on demand for a very long time.
How did that work out?
You forgot to mention that if you wait for the following steam summer sale you can get triple A $60 titles within a year of release for 5-15 us dollars (also 5-15% off for pre-order). also that it has all the same games ignoring exclusives.
One of my favorite episodes!
I would buy a PS4 but, IT HAS NO GAMES!!! I mean it does but games like BF4, COD Ghosts, and Killzone don't really sound fun. And I heard Knack isn't that good. So I'll stick with my 'last" gen consoles and my PC.
Same. A PC, Xbox 360 and a SNES will do me just fine.
Brownman Neither of the two new consoles have any games worth talking about. It's pretty safe to say I'll be fine with my 'last gen' consoles for at least another year.
Miles Johnson Strange how you mention 360 being 'fine' for having games when the PS3 has more and the PC has most of 360s titles...
ill just stick with my pc because these days picking a console is like picking a president; you need to decide which one is the least bad
linkno1 well, I never said the 360 was better.. so yeah. I regretted buying the 360 when I realized the good PS3 exclusives I was missing out on, but it's not a big deal to me. I also bought it before my PC.
What about Infamous? Yea the ps4 really doesn't have games...
Ironically I watched this on my ps4
Actually it's a lot simpler, it's because the PC will have to do a real time conversion of code. Which means it will do everything twice, but not only that, also the conversion needs to be calculated so effectively you'll need to run the game twice along with some sort of massive conversion program.
simply brilliant as always, thanks yahtzee
