Getting a PS4 next week. Any game suggestions

[Szczepanik]

I have Diablo 3 on PS3. Are there any expansions for the PS4 or just better quality

Hmmm the edition that I bought had both the expansion, and the original diablo 3. Now If you have both I think it is entirely the same game regardless of system. My brother and I do couch co-op when we get the chance and are working on our Greater Rift runs currently. It has alot of replayability and good co-op on the same system. Not alot of games have this anymore and I get frustrated!

100% agree I read a negative review and he had two main points - 1.Too hard-I disagree entirely this is not Dark Souls hard. 2. Too whimsical/nostalgic, in other words gives too much of a nod to the movie lore. Despite that he said he would recommend but it wasn't "perfect" in his eyes.

Yeah I didn't understand that either. The game wasn't TOO difficult. It was definitely tense though and it reminded me so much of the movies that I would of had that part in the plus category. I need to do the Sigourney Weaver Nostromo missions too. The game was pretty long, but I enjoyed every tense moment of it. Especially when the Alien was unpredictable. I also had quite a few moments where I would just stare into the graphics and be in awe. The alien looked awesome.

I remember the backlash on IGN's review because the guy played it through on hard instead of normal. That is what I took from the comments section and that most would rate it much higher if you are comfortable with the horror survival genre (evidently the reviewer wasn't).

Yeah I am pretty sure the A.I for the Alien was designed that way... it is supposed to be unpredictable.

It is hard to strategize against something that doesn't act the same way each time. I loved it. Also the length of the game was very satisfying. I do hope they sold enough copies to warrant a sequel.

I have the game but haven't played it yet after getting into FC4 but like horror survival games (picked it up over Evil Within). I know the campaign is like 20 hours? so wanted to invest the proper time to it, etc. Damn Madden...COD teens made me just enjoy the campaign (lawn muddas and I'm only 30)

So picked up Shadows of Mordor today. Still getting a feel for it, but so far im pleased.

Anyone play Dragon Age Inquisition?

I bought Evil Within black friday sale actually. Madden was the only reason it took me a bit to finish it, but it got very addicting! Yeah campaign is roughly 20 hours, but a good chunk of the time you will be looking at how great the graphics are. I remember being pretty blown away

Getting Dragon Age later but heard it's great (improved combat). Shadows of Mordor is basically ACreed with some stones and LOVED it. Brutal kills and the battle system is great to maneuver up to top Chiefs, etc. Game that has definite DLC value for campaign missions. Learn your bow! It is by far the best aspect of the mass battles where you have 20 orcs surrounding you and is done very well. Great start to a dynasty they can build on and I don't know one thing about LOTR or orcs, etc.

Finally learned Madden passing Thanks for pointers back when. But yeah, now on year 5 and having a great time with it too. Feels like I'm making up for lost time due to all the crap Madden games tey have pumped out since the monopoly.

Of course! Yeah it is nice to see Dallas's offensive line get boosted as well as Murray. Our defense still isn't good lol. But ehhh who cares.

I am trying to learn the ropes on NHL 15 so I can play buddies on xbox live. That game is tricky!

Oh I am also working my way through Shadow of Mordor. This may be the first game I try and get most achievements out of.. Only thing that sucks is when you get surrounded by 3 captains on accident!

Run...you got em marked so you can set em up as they disperse. Then can look @ their ind. vulnerabilities on history and attack appropriately. Don't "rush" through the game though as I felt I did. Much better to take on the higher ups with "style" rather than Batman Arkam style.

Ty Hilton has been my #2 teamed with Dez, Esco, (resigned Murray = though wouldn't in real life) and dealt Church early. Really appreciate they made a good next gen Madden as they "almost" lost a generation of vid football gamers in the process (doubt they would have otherwise unfortunately but grateful for the result).

 

[YosemiteSam]

Right now. Im looking to pick up Destiny and Shadows of Mordor(which I hear is amazing ) any suggestions on any other games I should look into.

Also anyone knows when the Elder Scolls Online PS4 port is coming out?

Just put Slayer CDs in it and you're golden.

Just picked up Dragon Age. The Skyrim influence is very noticeable. Excellent game so far

God I hope not. Last thing I want is for Dragon Age to be more like Skyrim, and less like Dragon Age: Origins. Origins is one of the best Modern day RPG's imo, and as a game, was very little like Skyrim.


As for Shadows of Mordor, it's way too easy and mindless. Decent for about an hour, but then I start to feel like I'm just in some fish bowl of orcs that I can slaughter 1 vs 300000000 until I get bored. Storyline is very lacking so there is nothing to really keep me going. I find myself intentionally dying to certain captains just so I can create some form of neat Rival orc, as it is simply impossible to lose legit if you've Mastered the Arkham combat system. Batman would be the same way, but it has a much stronger storyline, with familiar charactesr, and a lot more to do inbetween slaughtering hordes of enemies. The combat animations aren't really on the same level of the Arkham games either. Lotta blatant clipping and just randomness in all the animations, doesn't look nearly as fluid.


Ah well, I'm a negative nancy who hates modern day gaming pretty much. Hard to please.

I'll buy inquisition anyhow, and feel sad once I start doing mindless Sandbox garbage quests like "collect 10 herbs" bleh bleh sort of stuff, as I hear the game is chuck full of Skyrim-esque filler quests like that, with no bearing on the story or characters.
Oh well, could be wrong, maybe it'll be more like DA: Origins than I think. That game had one of the strongest stories and character development I've seen in an rpg, where as Skyrim had about 0 character development.. or characters.. or world progression.. or reaction to achievements your character has done... Ah well.

I havent played Origins and Ive really progressed far at all in Inquisition but bad news and good news is that yes there is those pointless miscellaneous quests, however there does seem to be significantly more character and world progession then there was in Skyrim. I cant say how much definitively as I have proggessed though the game far enough to see how much my choices impact gameplay, but I find myself thinking through every dialogue choice and quest selection whereas in Skyrim I could basically just skip through any dialogue series if i was in a rush

If thats what you want out of the game I think you will be more happy then disappointed

I really enjoyed SOM but your gripes are legitimate claims. The story is too simple in that's really only centered around killing soldiers, to get to captains, etc. but they don't give you much bread there in terms of story or feeling greatly rewarded for taking on higher level enemies bc of the Arkham style combat. I felt the gameplay was good in terms of fluidity and say Arkham also gives you many more combat options like the smoke bombs, batclaw, etc. I'm hoping they add legitimate DLC to engage the story @ a greater depth instead of releasing a sequel anytime soon.

NHL 15 if you love fun sports games

I thought the majority opinion was that this version was horrible. I was about to buy it but am holding off until a big price break.
