Should I buy a PS4? (Bloodborne / KH3)

[Goatmeal]

I will probably only play Kingdom Hearts 3 and Bloodborne on it, and maybe a couple other games. To those who've played Bloodborne, is it worth forking over the extra cash?

Just asking this question makes my anger boil at even considering letting Sony/MS win. Exclusives are so sleazy and underhanded that I'm furious it's affecting me like this.

So tell me, is Bloodborne (and KH3) worth swallowing my pride?
I feel so dirty...

^^ This conflict over exclusives is a needlessly large issue in the gaming market, and it saddens me to see that it's already the case in the VR market. The damn things haven't even officially released yet, and everyone's fighting for turf.

Exclusives have ALWAYS been part of the gaming market. Console makers need exclusives as reasons to buy their consoles.

And why are you so against letting MS/Sony win? What are they competing against? If anything the competition is between MS and Sony.

It's letting MS/Sony win at manipulating me into paying extra for no good reason. That's the part that aggrivates me. They're dangling their exclusives over my head like dog treats and I don't have the dignity not to jump for it. At least, that's the case with BB and KH3.

If it weren't for those two, I'd have absolutely no reason to mess with any new consoles at all. I've got basically all I need as it is.
PS2 for old games, PS3 for blu-ray and one or two games of its own, and PC for everything else. I used to be really big on Xbox 360, but XB isn't really offering anything worthwhile anymore.

You buying that specific console is the point of exclusives. If you're only getting those games then don't bother no matter how fun they are it wont be worth $500+. If you are interested in games like Infamous Second Son, Until Dawn, Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank and Horizon Zero Dawn (and other 3rd party 8th gen exclusives) then I would get the console.
