PS4 is where all the JRPGs are. As an Xbot it hurts me to say that, but it's true.

Yeah but I keep reading news about how the PS5 is going to come out any time soon.

Last Black Friday I bought 3DS only to find that Switch was coming out. Sucks.

I didn't research. I bought a 3DS for $99 thinking it would last a few years but nope, Switch was announced right after New Years or something.

Ok, but if you want to play JRPGs you should really get a PS4. Even if they shadow dropped the PS5 today you'd have to wait a while until you can play new JRPGs on it. And if you're going to play the older games anyway, you may as well play them on a console you can get immediately and for a much lower price.

They're saying 'wut' about your timeline. You're off a year about the Switch's release date.

My bad bro. I gave my 3DS away after Pokemon so I don't remember the exact date. I only used it for like a month, lol.

Not sure, but I'm actually going to look it up because I may get one as a gift for someone.

I was barely touching it. Gave it to my brother so he could at least trade between his 3ds and mine, and complete his Pokedex or something, lol.

"I want a JRPG but I gave away a system that was riddled with them after about a month"

You're better off learning how to be smarter about buying shit before getting a Switch and your JRPG fix.


when your brother asks, you give it away. Besides, I only paid $99

You need to learn how to do research bro. No offense. Nothing is worth $100 just to play Pokmon and then give it away

Looks like a 1TB PS4 will be $199.99 on Black Friday. There were predictions of bundles for the same price, but they're 500GB.

$200 doesn't seem bad. I wonder if there will be special editions. We should wait til Black Friday. Might get a crazy deal.

Funny thing is I didn't even complete Pokemon because it wasn't the same type of games as before (sprites).

They said 2020 was the target year. And since it'll be stupid to launch outside the holiday, you have 2+years to wait. And that's assuming everything goes to plan with marketing and production. And every console release had a dry as fuck year one line up of games, so really your looking a full 3 years and change before its worth it. I mean damn, how few year one ps3 and ps4 games that you know of have aged gracefully?

Visual representation means nothing when the mechanics and core gameplay are rooted in the same ideologies.

Yeah, makes sense. I will just look at the TBD jrpgs and wait for Black Friday. Thanks bro.

No I'm not jealous I'm just weirded out

You want a JRPG fix and had a system for it and decided to give it away

Also this post makes no sense

You realize 3DS and Switch have totally different libraries, yeah?


Yeah but Switch is more future proof with bigger screen. I couldn't focus with the 3DS. Plus, when you come home from work, you're way to pooped to focus on a tiny screen.

Nostalgia and preference trumps over the new. At least for me. It didn't feel the same as before. THen again, I am an old fart.
