Was at best buy this evening trying to decide if I should get a ps4 or xbone when who should I see but Mcdavid, Nurse and Draisaitl. Not sure what they were buying and I didn't want to bug them, since they were there right at closing to avoid that sort of thing I assume. Anyway, still leaning toward a ps4, but the Xbox one s is pretty tempting at $400, and Forza 6 looks very nice.

For what it's worth, the PS4 Pro is launching tomorrow (Friday) so, if you don't have a 4k TV or one that supports HDR, you could probably pick up a PS4 (probably bundled with a few games) for a bit cheaper than normal

Anyone have PSVR? I tried the HTC last weekend and it was fantastic but I don't have the PC that could handle it so I am thinking of picking up the PSVR, also NES Mini tomorrow!

Well I got it from PS+, but I'd easily pay $14 for it if I hadn't gotten it free. It's got a fairly forgiving learning curve too. It's most fun if you know someone else that has it, but it's a great game either way. I'm huge into driving games and Fifa though so it's pretty much made for me :laugh:

I have 2 controllers right now (and waiting for a sale to get 2 more) so I would play local coop with 2-4 players). Thanks for responding, I have a few more days to make up my mind before the price goes back to $20.

I honestly can't believe I used to pay full price for games.

Every week PSN has new sales, and flash sales often on weekends. I haven't had to pay more than 20 bucks for a game I've wanted within a year of release in god knows how long.

The only stubborn games that refuse to go on sale for a good price are Dying Light and Grand Theft Auto 5. GTAV is especially bad, it's never been less than 40 bucks. But I will not relent.

I do the same thing. Check in every week for the weekly sale and then I believe the flash sale starts every third Friday of the month. My price point is usually $10 or less (hence the indecision to get Rocket League right now) and I am also waiting for GTA V to drop but I figure that will take another year or maybe at the next E3 sale to be at a decent enough price point to buy. My queue is full right now anyway, so I don't care that its taking a while.

I've been patiently waiting on a PS4 because I don't see any must-buy exclusives. I'm interested in KH3 and maaaaaaybe Disgaea 5 but other than that...

Anyone played Battlefield 1 or CoD Remastered? Kinda wanna play Remastered as I enjoyed CoD4 a lot but it costs $80 so I dunno if it's worth that money and if I'm just better of buying BF1.

Anyone upgrading to the Pro here?

Ni no Kuni needed better combat. Felt like a bad Tales game.

Yeah seems to be dividing factor of this game. Really hit or miss imo

Persona 5 seems pretty hype

Holding out for standalone of COD4 Remaster. I'm probably gonna wait till Black Friday for BF1 since its somewhat around the corner and if nothing happens (most likely) then I'll just get it then.

Welp, apparently Nurse was buying Call of Duty. :laugh:

KH3 is what's making me pull the trigger too. That and gran turismo. Been looking forward to uncharted 4, ratchet and clank, and even infamous ss, but not enough to toss out 400 bucks. Most of the premier games I'm already sick of on the ps3(gta5, last of us, mgsv, far cry 4.)

Forza is such a great series.. it's more arcadey, but forza horizon 3 is the best racing game I've ever played. Unreal.

Also I had preordered Dishonored 2 without realizing that I worked late the day before and day of release so I've only played for a couple of hours but damn.. what an awesome game. Fans of the first will loooove this one.

Yeah, I'm really hoping for a standalone Remastered. If such a thing existed I would've bought it already. Zero interest in Infinite Warfare or whatever its called. I feel like they're shooting themselves in the foot with how they're doing it now, but I guess it wouldn't look good for them if Remastered had more sales than the new title lol.

Same with me.

My friends are playing it, but I can't justify paying $110 for the game and another $30 for a few months of PS+ just to play it.

I come from gran turismo. I'm into the sim stuff. Always wanted to try the forza series though. It looks beautiful.

Played both, and so far I like Battlefield 1 better, at least in single player. Very cool to finally have a good WW1 shooter in multiple theaters.

Latest XV demo is pretty good. Maybe too many clunky western influences (i.e.: minimap icon barf), but at least the last thing you can call it (or at least the first part of it) this time is "linear," which is what people relentlessly complained about with XIII--even though they've been that way since X.

Unlike most WRPGs though, the combat doesn't seem like complete ****; although how deep it gets as the game progresses is something I'm curious about.

Main problem with XV is going to be the fact that they've foolishly tried to build some sort of multimedia narrative around it, so people who haven't watched the companion anime and Kingsglaive (neither of which are great by themselves) could just end up confused. Far as I can tell the first main story beat in the game straight-up involves them cutting momentarily to a shot from the movie, which is essentially just them going "Hey, remember this 2 hour-ish thing that happened? Okay, great, moving on," when the reality is that nobody watched that ****.

haha conan o brien rips Final Fantasy a new one:



I'm a huge RPG/Final Fantasy fan but watching that segment last night had me laughing and agreeing with him alot !
Clueless gamer one of the best segments of late night.

I actually agree with Conan. 72 real time hours to defeat 1 boss? are you ****ing kidding me? I mean, ok, I can understand getting to a MAX level in 72 real time hours, but to defeat 1 FREAKING boss? Yeah, I don't have that kind of time to be sitting there trying to do that.

Good news: Atlus caved and put dual audio in Persona 5
Bad news: Persona 5 delayed until April
Worst news: Now people have to find something else to do on Valentine's Day.

Also this PS4 theme is pretty good.

Haven't played my Xbox hardcore in over a year due to being busy but with FF15 and KH3 being released soon I'm gonna be in full gamer mode again :yo:

Also the Destiny expansions are reportedly pretty good too
