Anniversary day 8



This round is closed!

It's day 8 already! I hope you're all having fun!

Today's topic is gaming platforms! Since video game series are an important part of our TCG, we cannot forget about them during the anniversary. So, what do you play them at? PC, stationary consoles, handhelds? Which ones? What are your opinions on the new generation of consoles: PS4, Wii U, Xbox One - are you planning to buy any of them? If you don't play any games and are just here for the anime series say that as well!

For answering, you will get Celebration08 and a choice card of a character from a video game!

You have time until June 30th, as always.

I've been a gamer for nearly as long as I can remember, thanks to an older half brother who had a tendency to carry around PSXs in his backpack (he always had two because one was always broken, somehow). Then there were PC games, Sega Genesis, Atari Jaguar, Nintendo 64, GBC, and now PS2, PS3, Xbox... I'll play pretty much anything regardless of console, though anymore I'm a PS3 fan with a Wii, original model DS + 3DS XL, but no Xbox 360. Since consoles and games are expensive and most of the games I want come out for PS3, otherwise I would have Every Console. :'(

I enjoy JRPGs and some Western RPGS- it depends since the RPG genre in western terms tends to be pretty broad in definition. Also story-based puzzle games, especially handheld ones like Ace Attorney, Professor Layton, and Ghost Trick. And... whatever genre Shadow of the Colossus is, platform-adventure? idek. I like platformers though. POINT IS, I like a lot of games and I don't always think about the genre.

As for the next gen... I've had mixed feelings about the Wii U and I'm not really going to pay close attention to it unless a game I really want comes out for it. Xbox One sounds kind of offensive considering they're requiring an internet connection once ever 24 hours or you can't continue playing games, and there's still a lot of people who don't have access to internet or a stable connection. PS4 is what I'm mostly likely to get just because there are already games announced for it that I want, though I haven't paid close attention to whether it's all that improved or not.

tl;dr I like games okok. And since I happen to be collecting some video game characters, I'll take powder01!
