This whole year they had one Nintendo major release per month on the switch so I wouldn't be surprised if they have some year end direct about 2018's plans. But even if you buy a Switch right now it has more interesting exclusives than 3 years of PS4 library

that's not even remotely true

I'll always regret not buying a Saturn

After it was dead but before the games got expensive anyway.

I bought one this year. The games are stupidly overpriced but in an afternoon + a 15 dollar action replay cart you can flash Kai onto it and just play CD-Rs. My friend and I use it to play Alpha 2 and Bomberman

I will admit that if I didn't have a lovely PC I would own far less PS4 games.

Also if I didn't like trophies. Like I don't like them enough that I put real effort into getting them but I then enough that if I have the option, I'd rather play a game and eat trophies than play the same game elsewhere and not earn trophies

Also, real talk, I will be loving shocked if Mario Odyssey isn't goty if not game of the entire gen

I will almost always buy stuff on PS4 over PC because of the trophies, yeah. Steam achievements have always been lame

Don't even joke about that! I'm not going to say they're bad since I haven't played them, I just have not had any interest to check them out.

I do really, really, really hate FFX though.

I like Trophies/Achievements as long they’re relatively reasonable and not tied to multiplayer.

It’s great when they’re gags too, like the one in BioShock for taking a photo of Sander Cohen’s corpse.

Or smacking the head off of an Andrew Ryan mannequin with a golf club in 2, which is both a joke about the act itself and a joke about that specific achievement from the first game

I liked the idea of trophies / achievements when they were basically some out-of-the-way extra challenges you could do after finishing a game that you wouldn't normally try to do in the regular course of gameplay, but after a while they seemed to all just become progress trackers and tedious "find all the bear butts" completionist crap.

The PS4 trophy notification is hilariously intrusive when it comes to ones tripped by dramatic cutscenes.

Trophies ate good when it's they're to have your do fun pointless things and for just encouraging you to explore. Some times complaints have fun with them but too often companies treat them like a chore or an afterthought. Even with lazy implementation I still tend to like it because it's nice to have the milestones of the game check off like that. I feel I'm at a good place where I enjoy them but if it's the least bit about I just don't care

I really liked the achievements for Geometry Wars on 360, they were all weird "game within a game" goals that made you approach the modes in different ways and some of them were really tough. Stuff like "painting" the entire border of the arena by scraping it with your ship, or surviving for X seconds without shooting anything, or whatever.

By the way on a serious note Neogaf is probably about to explode and not in a good way from like a game announcement but because the owner of the forums is about to be exposed to the public for what appears to be some heavy poo poo.
