This was a pretty good episode of the sony fanboy fanclub hour lol. Kidding, but it was good to see Julian beat the drum for the 360 a bit, I would have to agree that if Super Step was open to getting one of the last-gen consoles the 360 would be a great choice.
I still haven't bought any of the new consoles but I'd prefer to have them all if I could. Picking a single one of them and sticking with it for the whole generation seems like an extremely sad and limiting prospect. If I had to only get one console I'd rather just play all PC games instead.
Patrick should know that I played the Destiny demo that Bungie released and I got addicted to even the demo. I really didn't want to play Destiny at all, it seems terrible and everything about it seems like it's not my type of game, and I'm a huge Bungie/Halo fan from the beginning. Once they came out with the demo I gave it a shot anyways and I got sucked into the grind of it.
The encounters are super lame and uninspired, the level designs aren't anything special, and the mission designs are probably the most egregious examples of fluff and busy work in an FPS ever, but the second you come across other real players and do random crap together it changes everything. I didn't think I'd say that but it happened. Playing Destiny alone is terrible, but the fact that other players just seemlessly come in and out of your world makes things super fun. I find myself roaming around looking for other weird Destiny demo players like myself to play around with and there's a lot of dumb fun to have. Today I spent a couple minutes in The Tower kicking a soccerball around with strangers and it was great. I don't know why, I hate soccer, but it was great.
With all that said, I have no money for Destiny. I may find a chance to grab it later in the year though so.....I guess I more or less like Destiny? It's not even a good game but I totally want it.
Thanks for going so in depth on the backlogs subject, I was definitely curious where everyone was at with theirs. Since I don't have a new console I've been almost 100% focusing on my backlog. It's such a great time to be picking up 360 and PS3 games. They're super cheap, easy to find, and there's lot I haven't played yet.
