Anyone else buying a ps4 for Bloodborne?

Is having a PS4 really that much of a plague on your household that you have to sell it the moment you're done. Just keep it dude. You said you'll buy it again later, you're putting yourself through a bunch of hassle just to save roughly 100 bucks over several years.
 
So you get the console for Bloodborne but then sell it and miss out on The Tomorrow Children, Rime, No Mans Sky, Disgaea 5, Ratchet and Clank Remastered, Persona 5, Hot Shots PS4, 1080px60fps MGSV, Dragons Dogma Online, Deep Down, USFIV, DQ Heroes, SFV, Uncharted 4, Cosmic Star Heroine, Axiom Verge, The Order 1886, The Witness, Volume, Planetside 2, ABZU, H1Z1, DayZ, Alienation, darkest dungeon, super time force ultra?

To name a few? Weird logic

You missed WiLD. I want that game so bad.
 
I see a lot of ppl complaining about having a huge backlog but not having time to get to it then I turn around and see a lot of ppl saying I'll buy this certain console when it has more exclusive. so my question is are this two groups of ppl just the same ppl? I'm the type of gamer that hates having a huge backlog because instead of taking my time to enjoy each game, I find myself rushing through them so that my backlog doesn't build up but that's just me. By the way I wouldn't buy a Ps4, which I already own, just for Bloodborne alone.
 
Not solely for Bloodborne, but it was a huge factor in me getting one. Along with MGSV, Persona 5, Uncharted 4, etc

Anything that comes out on PC (most of that list), obviously I would rather play it there. Persona 5 I'll play on ps3. Nothing else really jumps out at me so yea, I don't mind missing out on Hot Shots and Ratchet and Clank.
 
I will buy one for Bloodborne. Of course it's not going to be the only game I will get for PS4 and I certainly won't sell it either. Other exclusives like The Order 1886 and the coming Ratchet & Clank reboot interest me as well, but it's Bloodborne what ultimatively drew me to get that friggin console.

I consider the purchase worth while when there will be at least a dozen good exclusives I love on PS4.

Yeah I don't get how some people can have such outrageously singular tastes. I don't want an Xbox One but there's still at least 3 games on/coming to it I'd definitely get if I did get one. There's no major console I could possibly only want to play ONE game on.
 
Yup! And I guess SFV. I need a new console at some point for Batman too.

The only one of those I want is SFV. You can play ultra anywhere, I heard nothing but bad things about STFU, and I refuse to believe No Man's Sky will be good until it comes out.

I guess deep down could be good, but Capcom hasn't had a strong record lately.
 
If I have the money, yes. The XB1 will be the go to system for racers and shooters. PS4 for everything that doesn't make heavy use of triggers.

I need more space for these systems.

Wait, what? New golf game!?! Everybody's Golf was awesome on the Vita!

(Everybody's Golf is Hot Shots in the US, right?)
 
I think fans of any console would find what you described as strange.

Yeah, I can't relate to OP's plan. If money's the issue, you could...you know, wait. I can't think of any game I'd go through that much effort to play, but that's me.

Like I have already said, it's not about the money. I just don't need a ps4 sitting under my TV and collecting dust. Would rather use that money to buy a Pascal card in the fall.

I don't know, man. Maybe years of posting on CAG have conditioned me to think this kind of thing isn't weird but I'm surprised at how many people think this is some outlandish and crazy idea only a poor person would do.

lets say a bloodborne 2 were to happen after you sold your ps4

would you buy another one for it ?
 
Probably, yes. Not just for Bloodborne, but it's a big part of it. I was probably going to buy it someday anyway, so why not for Bloodborne.
 
I just find buying anything for one game odd. I would never consider what you are planning to do as somebody poor. Poor people are more pragmatic at times.
I'd love to play Bayonetta 2 but not buying a wii u for it, so I would look to something else. Not buy wi u then buy the game and sell them both when I'm done.
 
I really want to play Bloodborne when it comes out, but I'm struggling to come up with enough PS4 exclusives (or at least games that I couldn't just play on PC) to justify the purchase of a console. I guess Type-0 HD comes out around the same time, but still...
 
I'm just surprised that people are calling out OP for selling the PS4 after playtime with Bloodborne is done, since that was exactly what I was going to do.... lol

In this next generation anything PS4 exclusive is not of any interest to me or is coming out on PC. I can't believe someone actually listed "USF4" and "Deep Down" in a list war....

Let me say that in my experience, every Amazon PC leak has come true. Even for games like Dead or Alive 5, which were leaked around 2 years before the PC version was actually announced. So you are likely not out of luck!
 
Sure, because that would be years down the road after at least 1 hardware revision and it would be way cheaper. Crazy, right?

would you resell the ps4 again?


if you bought it 3 years later, how cheap do you think it would be? If you dont sell the ps4, what is the actual money you saved over those 3 years? $100? and you miss all those titles that come out along the way.

Do you think they'll ever be another ps4 game you'd want to play?

Ah yes, I remember that leak. I agree that it's likely to get a PC port at some point. But seeing as it hasn't been announced yet, it will likely come out much later than the console version. But then I've waited this long to play the game, so a few more months wouldn't hurt.

Still wish there were more PS4 exclusives now and in the near future to justify the cost of a PS4 for Bloodborne though.
