Sup y'all,

Been some time since I posted outside of the marketplace. Need some suggestions for a really cool kickass present for my brother (he'll turn 17 in Jan '14). We already have a xbox 360, PS3 and Wii and will be shifting to next gen mid of next year. He's set in terms of cell phone and computer for the time being (hand downs from us older siblings). So throw some kick ass ideas about what to give him as a present.

Cheers

P.S. No lame replies please, there is a thread on love somewhere down there.

Why not ask the brother directly? I mean how hard can it be? Its a simple question, like "What do you want for your birthday".

You can only decide on a good gift if you know what the person's interests are.

Exactly, I don't get why people come here and go like 'tell me what to get for person X'. We don't know that person - how're we supposed to tell you what'd be best for him? I'd understand if you would have a list of things that you want us to pick from or are stuck between two different kinds of cell phones or headphones or whatever. Atleast make an effort on your own part before expecting others to help you. If you want serious, helpful replies here, tell us what your brother's likes/interests/hobbies are or pick a couple of things out and we'll help you decide between them.

Thanks for the replies people. Nah, my budget is around 10k at most.

Okay, I was thinking something along the lines of cool gaming merchandise. Like I got him a AC III shirt a while back and Master Chief action figure. Something like that maybe.

He already has a nice watch and XBL subscription and all the obvious suggestions. Wanted something crazy and cool along the lines of gaming merchandise related to Assassin's Creed or Halo or Skyrim.

If he's geeky and all, get him Dungeons and Dragons stuff.

If nothing, the miniatures are awesome to stare at. And the dice are cool

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
