Suddenly, I have a Playstation 4

Along with a copy of inFAMOUS: Second Son.

WUT ELSE DO

 

...

 

I'll admit this game makes me want a PS4.

But crap, now you won't be checking out that Wi anymore

 

Eh, I plan to finish No More Heroes and then Metroid Prime Trilogy. Besides, I'm a picky kind of guy who wants to finish the first two inFAMOUS games before stepping into Second Son.

Also, could people give some recommendations for PS4 games? That aren't military shooters or sports games or Knack?

 

...

 

Guilty Gear Xrd when it eventually comes out for the US.

BACK TO BACK, DEATH COMES ARRIVIN' ON A MIDNIGHT TRAIN.

Unless you already own a PS3 and the difference between versions is just more uncompressed textures for PS4 (And not something very important like more FPSs/less lag).

(That's all I can recommend, I don't plan on getting a PS4 at all because of the fact that's the only game that interests me so far, and the 6500/650 USD price tag here)

 

Yeah no. I'm so burned out on military shooters. Only way I'll play this is if someone else gets it for me.

YOU KNOW I'M GETTING DAT SHiT MANG. ON PS4 BECAUSE I NEED A FIGHTER ON EVERY SYSTEM I OWN.

Don't suppose you could go into more detail?
Like the Assassin's Creed comparison seems weird because most of its locales are frighteningly boring. Lots of asset reuse, limited palette. Side missions are pretty dull to, besides the few that randomly have cutscenes attached to them

 

It's boring to do the tasks. By saying it's only 16 hours to do everything is me saying that for an open world game, that's pretty short. There was no real discovery, going to locations and moving bout, you're just following map markers until you cleared them all away, then your left with a vacant city basically. It's exactly like the last games then, where you clear zones of enemies until you move onto the next one or have done them all.

Think of Fallout, where you have a complete world full of life even though the place is apocalyptic and for all intents and purpose, dead. You have so much to do, you could miss some of it, and you effectively end the adventure when you want to, not when the game wants.

In ACIV, you're a pirate, you can earn money by raiding, getting into giant ship battles in a storm, take on the legendary warships, dive to find underwater treasure, use maps to located buried treasure, along with the usual from past games. It's not the best open world game anymore, because it's repeating past successes, but it does add more each time, ship gameplay specifically in this one. inFamous, meanwhile, is still repeating the same.

 

Which quickly becomes repetitive and boring.

 

If you get bored of being a pirate, you're mad! I played Sid Meier's Pirates! for flipping ages.

But seriously, I already mentioned the games are repetitive and not the best example of an open world series. But it at least adds new ways to play in the world.
The dash powers of Second Son are the greatest addition to the series, it makes doing tasks and such so much quicker and more enjoyable. I also like how the different powers actually act distinct from one another, like a hack and slash game where you pick up new weapons and new skills.
But they ultimately don't change your experience, really.

If you like more of the same with a few improvements here and there, great, but don't expect anything new is all i'm trying to say. I was actually rather impressed by the motion capture. Betty is great. But i've forgotten most of it already

Also, I have a review of the bloody game, have since Sunday, but the site that hosts them won't allow me to do anything, and unless my editor publishes it or fixes the problem, no review. But i'd like to say it pretty much explains my likes and dislikes of the game.

 

...

 

What do you mean suddenly? Like just a random gift then? Did it fall from the sky?

 

My family bought one while I wasn't there and didn't tell me, so I just saw it in my house with no prior knowledge.

 

Hmmm I wonder what your intial reaction was.

 

"Boy that thing seriously does look like a VCR."
