Title: So I gave in and bought a PS4
Post by: Martinus on April 14, 2015, 05:40:43 AM
So I can play with D who also has it.

He is going to lend me some of his games (Diablo 3, GTA5, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Assassin's Creed) and I also have Order 1886 which seems cool at least conceptually (it came with the console).

Any other good games I should get?

I haven't finished it yet, but I really like The Last of Us.

Order 1886 seems to be a visually impressive but crap game, about 6 hours. If you liked Dark Souls you might want Bloodborne which is by the same team and basically doing the same thing, but loading times are very long (though they're working on a patch).

Other than that - nothing really that you wouldn't get on PC, unless you want sports games.

Oh, and you may want to get a Playstation Plus account - they give you monthly frees game that remain in your account if you download them.

Like Cal i haven't finished Last of Us, but have enjoyed it
Shadows of Mordor was fun.
other than those mostly i have sports games which i don't think you have interest in.

If we're talking games that are also on PC, then Shadows of Mordor was indeed very good. And Alien Isolation might be worth looking at, too. For retro Metroid style games, Axiom Verge looks very splendid if frustrating (don't think it's on PC yet).

Well, I have a Mac so can't play most PC games. :P

I've been pleasantly surprised how many of my steam bought games have Mac version for download.

I finally broke down and got one too. It came with 3 games. :weep:

Which games? :)

I regret buying my PS4. Got it last Christmas, and barely got any mileage out of it, because almost all the games I'm interested in also come out on PC and look better on my three year old rig.
Title: Re: So I gave in and bought a PS4
Post by: garbon on October 27, 2015, 05:18:51 AM
Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (which is nice as I think I only played 3 and had wanted to see the earlier bits of the series).

I guess after owning the original Xbox then PS2, PS3 and now PS4 - I'm firmly in the Sony camp. :unsure:

The 360 was my first console after the SNES. :lol: I liked it (games at first looked better than on PC, and then there was the Guitar Hero/Rock Band craze I joined in), but envied the PS3 for its exclusives.

After the crap presentation of the X1 and my experience that almost all Xbox games would end up on PC, anyways, I decided on a PS4, but it seems this generation will not be near as good as the previous one.

It used to be that a new console generation would come out and it would have notably better technical specs than the previous one, but the recent "jump" seems so small, especially compared to PC games, and I couldn't care less about all the cool social networking features they've added.

I used to be a Nintendo boy, until I jumped ship with the PS2, and then the PS3. I have no plans of buying a console though. Most games I want always end up in PC, and looking better for it.

I might join this cult soon as well.  But I am also looking at a new, 55" Samsung curved 4K tv.  :ph34r:

So far I've not seen a game worth getting a ps4 for.
New consoles just don't have the excitement they used to. With each generation it gets worse. I only got a ps3 a year before the 4 was released.

I'm getting one too, I only play shooters, so I will have the new COD Blops3 and SW Battlefront. I'm sure my son will get some other games once we have the console.

He'll get you hooked on Peggle 2.

Considering getting one with these black Friday deals, have already seen Newegg selling the Last of Us bundle for $309......  But Realistically I'll barely use it so meh.   :sleep:

So a year on, and I haven't switched on my PS4 once in the meantime.

I do keep checking for a sale on the Bloodborne GOTY edition, though. :P

Meanwhile the PS4 Pro has been announced, but its focus seems to be to sell 4k resolution Sony TVs and not improving overall game performance. Besides the price of consoles, there's no compelling reason for a moderately tech savvy person these days to choose a console over a PC.

I know you don't like it, i'm just giving reason ( i mean i know the NBA and WWE games are on PC, but some games are only on Consoles)

Uncharted series is exclusive for PS and highly praised.

Yeah, other than to watch Blue Ray, I don't think I have fired off my PS4 in a year or so.

I want to buy that new smaller PS4, supposedly it's more silent than the original. I need something to stream HBO and Netflix from and eventually play Red Dead 3 on.

Also I kinda miss playing the FIFA series. :unsure:

For a console supposed to sell Ultra HD, the lack of a an Ultra HD drive is puzzling to say the least. Something the new Xbox One does.  :hmm:

Yeah I have PS4, but leaning to Xbox one s this holidays because of the backwards compatibility and the actual 4K player or the PSpro.
Title: Re: So I gave in and bought a PS4
Post by: Liep on November 17, 2016, 07:19:34 AM
I really don't care if it's xbox one s or ps4 slim, but I could see an upgrade from my HD Ready plasma to a 4k in 2017 so maybe a pro? Which is more quiet?

& EA Access.

I think about buying a Xbone for that & a PS4 for MLB the Show. So far, I've bought neither.

We planned to elope, but I had to plug the controller back in to recharge.
