    I got my PS4


    it is good.




    Anyone need (want) one? I may have an in for one from Sam's Club. They took an order from me to pick it up from the store on the 16th, cancelled it as they didnt have the stock. Now they sent me an exclusive link to order one (I presume it would ship next week?)

    MCA?

    Ok. I suggest you see if you can pull one tomorrow or Friday anyway. I think it is good through the weekend...

    On the way back from Wisconsin, I did a eight hour session on the Legend of Zelda: a link to the past 2 on the 3DS. It may be the first Zelda game I beat :)

    3 weeks now and EA has yet to fix Battlefield for the PS4. No wonder they are one of the most despised companies in the world.

    Got my PS4 a couple days ago. Thanks again MayDay10!!! :D
    I like it quite a bit.
    The new controller is nice. Feels a little strange still, but in a good way.
    The UI/XMB is super fast and easy to use. Popping in and out of games is quick.
    The system is also super quiet. Even with a disc running, you can barely hear the damn thing. My "slim" PS3 is waaaaaay louder.
    Been playing AC...fun game. I haven't played a AC game since, I think Brotherhood...so I'm still trying to re-learn the controls.

    Downloaded Resogun. Simple game, but challenging.

    I got my PS4 at launch and have been enjoying it quite a bit. Nothing more impressive than GTAV or The Last of Us, but the experience as a whole is great for all the reasons mca47 mentioned.

    If I were to rank the games I have as far as the most technically impressive when compared to last gen games from first to last, I'd have to say:

    1. NBA 2k14
    2. Killzone: Shadow Fall
    3. Need for Speed: Rivals
    4. Assassin's Creed IV
    5. Madden 25
    6. Lego Marvel (hey, I needed a great co-op game for me and my son to play together ;) )

    I'm not counting the PS+ games that were free, although Resogun and Warframe are a lot of fun.

    You played "flower"? Got high reviews but kinda... strange

    I like 2k basketball... Some things I dislike on the games point of view... Can't change the uniform for your opponent and no out of town scores or simming, boxscores, etc. Madden is the same issue. I like to take the whole League all in with sports games. Can't stand when you basically just get your schedule and go

    Yeah, I played Flower on PS3 when it came out. I thought it was a great game. Very different, but just a beautiful game.

    zelda: a link between worlds gets a 10. got it as an early christmas present last night and logged a couple hours.

    fantastic game, fun game play, 3d works VERY well with this one.

    a common complaint people have with this one is you can rent all items/equipment very early in the game (you can use the items as long as you want, but once you die, they automatically get returned to the shop). i don't see that as a weakness, because early on in the game, i can tell this can become one of the more challenging zelda games to date so you don't need to waste time & frustration trying to find the boomerang, hookshot, etc, etc.

    turning link into a painting on any wall adds a whole new dynamic of strategy and thinking when you try and navigate yourself around hyrule. that is going to be crazy challenging when you are already trying to figure out what switch to hit, how to get from A to B in a dungeon and so on.

    looking forward to playing this one for a while.

    I'm debating on this. Between the games on my iPad Mini and PS Vita (with all the free PS+ downloads), I'm not sure how much love a 3DS would get. I have a regular DS XL and an original 3DS, but I love the look of the 3DS XL. I just picked up the Mario and Luigi 3DS XL Bundle last night for $149 and can get the Zelda bundle for the same (Target has ALL 3DS XL systems on sale and I had some gift cards to burn). I would give one to my son eventually but I hate how the games are downloads in the bundles and not actual carts. Right now I'm not opening anything, I just think for the price you can't beat it. I really love the look of the Zelda 3DS with the triforce graphic though. Decisions decisions...

    debating upgrading to an XL too. i have the zelda 3ds (original size) that came with the ocarina of time bundle. i saw target had the XLs on sale for $150. missed out on the newest zelda bundle as they were sold out at all the targets by my apartment.

    could pull the trigger on the all black XL, but trying to figure out if the $150 is worth it. i'll probably make up my mind and decide to pick it up when the sale is over :lol:

    My Target is actually sold out of the Zelda bundle as well but there's a lady at my Best Buy who seems to really like me and already said she would price match it for me if I wanted. They only have like 1 or 2 left and I'm going by there tomorrow to decide.

    So I really dig my PS4 so far.
    One gripe...and maybe it's just me....I love the new controller but it doesn't seem to hold a charge nearly as long as the PS3 controllers.
    Anyone else notice this?

    I need to know what the biggest difference is from the PS3. Huge or what?

    Was thinking of waiting till it comes down more in price.

    I don't play a ton of games and use it more as an entertainment center - does it have blu ray, netflix, all that junk as well?

    As of now there isn't a "huge" difference as far as graphical quality.
    The XMB and user interface is fantastic and the machine is super fast. The new controller is damn near perfect (though mine doesn't seem to hold a charge as long as my PS3 controllers).
    The price likely won't come down until the "slim" comes out....which will likely be in 2 years.
    It plays Blurays and has all the entertainment apps. Oddly, it doesn't play music CDs. :?

    All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.
