Madden on the PS4 is pretty amazing. It looks and plays great. I'm playing as the Colts and got throttled by Peyton Manning in the opening game. It's like getting your ass kicked by Bizarro Superman if you are a Colts fan. It is still weird to see him in a Broncos jersey of all jerseys. At least the Patriots didn't sign him. And fuck the Broncos. At least they have a chance to witness a true QB for once. Fuck John Elway.

I was pumped for Watchdogs. It looked amazing and a cool concept for an open world game....
But...
The story is quite weak. The driving mechanic is horrible. I played it for maybe 4-5 hours when I got it but haven't gone back. I will...I hate not beating a game, but there are too many things about it that don't get me excited to pick it up again.

You're right that the Last of Us is linear, but the story, the acting and the character development is phenomenal. I've never played a game that was so emotionally powerful with so much attention to detail. 5 minutes in, I was hooked and even the players' relationship with the characters evolves/grows over the course of the game.
To me it was much more than a zombie/survival game. I think they could have done a number of other apocalyptic scenarios and still made it a classic.
I really wish they had it so if you bought the PS3 game, you could get the remastered PS4 version for like $10-15. Oh well.

Cool Mca, I usually love most open world games, but I just heard about the driving and story being weak in Watch dogs from another friend too. I assumed Last of Us would be similar in the linear fashion as Uncharted. I loved those games and didnt mind so much how linear because there was a good story and characters.

btw, I am still playing Assasins Creed - the one on the boats-- its awesome fun! Gets a tad repetitive about half way in, but I enjoy it still

I played Assiasins Creed - Boat Version quite a bit when I got my PS4. It was ok. Repetitive like most AC games...but it was still entertaining. The boat part of the game got annoying. Got through prob 80% of it before I got annoyed/bored.
I like open world games too. Red Dead Redemption is easily a top 10 game all time for me. That game was just so well done! GTA5 was pretty cool too. Watchdogs just kinda dropped the ball when I feel it could have been really cool.
Last of Us is just as linear as Uncharted games, but it's story and acting is infinitely better.
Are we Playstation pals Pistashio, if not hit me up!

I really loved Red dead. Its the only game ive played twice. I liked all the GTa games, but found the missions on the last one to be kinda lame compared to older games. Not enough ass kicking! haha

mca, have you played Sleeping Dogs? Its an open world game that is also one of my favorites. It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did, I loved it. Its modeled after Hong Kong I think. There's a lot of hand to hand fighting...kiinda reminded me of old school arcade game called Double Dragon.
I havent explored much in the way of playstation network mca, but I'll do that next time i'm on

Rygar

Sleeping Dogs was one of the free XBL games with gold a few months back. I am looking forward to checking that one out.

I cant wait for Fallout 4, whenever that is.


I wont get the new Madden. I link the NCAA draft classes to Madden for the dynasties/franchise, No more NCAA for awhile and Ill stick with Madden 25 on PS3 for now (I have it on PS4 too, but no draft classes).

Anyone play diablo 3 on xb1?

I've been playing it on PS4. The controls work great. It's also a good game to play with friends on the couch.

So would you guys recommend it? I'm finishing up Watchdogs now. Have Diablo 3 for mac, but would prefer it on the console. I get tired of clicking the mouse.... Is it worth the re-purchase?

I played the original and Diablo 2 on the PC way back when. I'm surprised I didn't break my mouse playing those games. You clicked to move, you clicked to attack....it was way too much fn clicking! The controller works waaaaaaaay better!

Actually it looks like GTA meets Double Dragon haha

Yes, double dragon was awesome haha.. I think my ps name is longwave11 or something like that. I really should keep all these damned names the same like you.

Yeah Rygar that about sums it up!

jervin007

Screw it. Had $450 in credit at my local record store (which sells PS4's) so I bought a PS4 this afternoon. Otherwise I would have kept buying vinyl! Now I just need to get a new TV and maybe invest in a SONOS playbar before I set the system up!

For PS4 owners, are there any bugs with the system? Trying to decide if I should pick one up now or wait a few months. Kind of hoping for an assassins creed or uncharted ps4 package

I guess my only gripe is that the DS4 controller battery life isn't nearly as "lasting" as the PS3's. That said, despite the battery life...the controller is waaaay better than the PS3s.

With that said though, the power port is the same as most small electronics (at least mine). Kindles, androids, samsung phones, etc. So its no problem to keep at least one charged.

I loooove the headphone output in the controller as well.

Yeah, I still have one controller. I suppose if I had a second it wouldn't be as annoying. That white one coming out looks cool!

I picked up an usb extension cable. It sucks having to play it wired while it's charging, but it's nice to have the option to keep going when the battery dies.

Sept 9th!



I pre ordered, nba2k15, ea Fifa 15, nhl 15,

mca47

^Awesome man! If you are a baseball fan, you should also pick up The Show.

Idris

Ya cool, I'm gonna take NHL15 out and pick up The Show.

MayDay10

Yeah. Still loving the show. 9 games from the all star game and no sign of slowing down. Pretty much a game a day. They claim you will be able to carry your franchises over to new releases

jervin007

How are the wireless headphones for the PS4?

Good question, I'll give a quick review once they arrive, but they look cool, so that's why I ordered them!

But I'll be sending them back if they suck! (suck as in poor sound quality, poor build quality etc)
