Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I agree with pretty much everything you said other than the Forza/GT comparison. Forza on the Xbox should be to racing gamers that The Show on Playstation is to baseball gamers.

GT has been **** lately.

Yeah, it all just depends on what you're looking for in a racer. Forza is probably "more fun" but GT is a thousand times more realistic.

Jumped onto the livestreams to see what's happening, started watching Trials as it was one of the top streams. To my surprise, Brett is running that stream!

He's got 81 viewers at this time

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

the only xbox exclusives i enjoyed much was Fable and the sports like links 2004, NHL rivals 2004 and top spin because of the online features of these sports titles.

Rivals was not the best game, but it was so fun! Online features and 2 on 2 pond hockey with my college roommates was a blast. I have never been better at a game online. There was a cheese goal a lot of people used and I never used it until it was used against me and then I would destroy people with it.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Speaking from someone who currently owns an Xbox One and a PS3, I am not thrilled with my next-gen purchase just yet. But I am mostly satisfied. Strictly from game perspective the only 2 games that have blown me away from a technical standpoint have been Ryse and FIFA (MGS:Ground Zeroes comes close). Ryse stands out as the best graphical console game I have ever seen and FIFA really does an outstanding job with the crowds and their reactions to immerse the player in the game. So I consider them true "next gen" experiences.

I am sure in the end Sony will have the best exclusives as they always do. And I am sure I will own a PS4 down the line, but I decided to go the XBO route because of it's ability to integrate the living room's entire entertainment experience - and it hasn't disappointed.

I have already traded Titanfall in. Loved it the first month, but I soon found it even more repetitive than COD/BF and about half as deep. Great first effort to try something new, but it could not hold my interest. Infamous seems to be polarizing as well. So if you ask me the start of this generation has been mediocre at best - but this is somewhat expected if you are an early adopter.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I think it depends who you talk to and what they were expecting. I'm not sure why people aren't clicking with InFamous, but I loved it and plan on going it through for a 3rd time so I can fool around with the photography mode. Its like each post has that qualifying "its missing that "IT" factor" or "I was hoping for more" phrases that kills any interest people may have had for it. I don't really get the disinterest or the buzz-killing, but I'm enjoying it and that's all I really care about.

Honestly, I think expectations were way too high for the first year.

I really enjoyed infamous and the graphics were awesome.

I agree with people have too high of expectations.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I don't like being bored while gaming. That's my only beef with inFamous.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Infamous simply isn't my type of game, never was, therefore I skipped it. I am waiting for The Show, Watch Dogs and The UFC game. Other then that, the usual sports games in the fall, along with Batman, Dragon Age and what ever else that comes out in the fall.

Over all next gen has met my expectations for the most part. Now I am just waiting for the developers to step their story telling game up to match the level of graphics we have now. I must say I am impressed by the variety of games that are available now. They have something for everybody. The indie line up is way stronger then I thought it would be this early in the console cycle.

I think I saw earlier that that was the day we'd get it too, but don't mark my words on that one. I just remember that date sticking out in my head for some reason.

As far as inFamous is concerned I actually had zero expectations going in as I hadnt played any of the previous games. I thought graphically it was beautiful, extremely good looking game but the story was extremely soft and didnt really catch my interest. I gave it a shot and in the beginning I enjoyed it but like others have said, the powers dont really feel all that different from smoke to neon to video and then the repetitive nature of it really killed it for me and by the time I was close to completing the game I was more or less just playing to see it out.

Now as for the PS4 Im pretty satisfied with the purchase itself, Ive played inFamous, Battlefield, COD, Madden, Lego Marvel and Ive got Lego The Movie, Thief, Rayman and Black Flag sitting here having not been played then throw in The Show in less then 2 weeks and Watch Dogs in a month and Im thoroughly enjoying the PS4 and have no regrets.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Battlefield 4 is awesome and all, but I want a WWII shooter on my PS4. 64-Players online in a battle on Normandy? That'd be epic as ****.

I guess there's War Thunder, though.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I only trade in games at Best Buy. That way I can just buy Amazon gift cards with it and order anything I want from Amazon.

I usually Pricematch anything electronics wise I see at Amazon so I can have it that day at Best Buy

Shh.

I'm sure we'll go back to everyone just making WW2 shooters at some point. Remember when that's literally all that would come out in terms of reality-based FPS games?
