Just in time for them to take physical discs away! Edit: This is only in EU! For now.

      Yeah really I have no desire for new stuff. Like, why? Ive never once cared about graphics, even when I was around 8, I remember thinking people caring about graphics was stupid, because its the game that matters. Never have I bought a game because it was “shiny” or because I could see a baseball players eyelash. Who cares. I want a game, not a reality simulator (well, I do enjoy walking/ driving simulators once in a while, but not because of graphics!)

      Now flashy graphics are fine and all but not at the expense of the game.

      Iif I even tried completing every game from 1975 to 1999, I’d have enough play for more than a lifetime of gaming.

      New really isnt that great, for me. Some good indie games here and there, sure.

        I think ps3 graphics are good enough any thing higher doesn’t make me more immersed and pulling out of immersion to go “oooo pretty” is neat now and then but not that important. I’ll say I do occasionally stop to be impressed by really good shadows though

        I always goto Civilization as the example. One of the best games ever before the recent versions… No emphasis on graphics…just well balanced strategy and gameplay. Civ 3 ftw

            It does have a bit of a learning curve but it’s pretty rewarding if the gameplay clicks with you. Plus it’s apparently great at modeling nature (compared to other games, that is). My lumberjack friend is constantly raving about how the trees types/placement and the forests in general are pretty realistic

      The problem is that most of the trillions of games suck and the ones that I had heard of often aren’t on there. I also wish there was some way for multiplayer, I would pay more if they figured that out for some games.

      The Nintendo DSi can also be made to use emulation. I play nes and snes on mine currently and also downloaded ds games

        3DS is even better for that and easier to homebrew. Gives you access to a huge library, including DS and Gameboy advance games
