There is very little I love in this world more than Star Wars, so just Battlefront II and Super Star Wars on PS4. I'm seeing The Last Jedi tomorrow, and I'm very, very excited! Perhaps a little bit more Zelda DLC on Switch, but we'll see.
I bought a rental copy of Battlefront II from Redbox so EA doesn't see profit from me, but I still get to play! As a Star Wars superfan, I absolutely love it. It's a shame EA marred it with those damn microtransactions. Other than that, I'll keep picking away at DOOM and Breath of the Wild on Switch.
They're both excellent games. I had a great time with Lost Legacy (albiet it felt a bit to same-y to be considered a full uncharted game imo), and I'm loving Mario + Rabbids right now. It's probably my favorite Mario RPG since Bowser's Inside Story.
Between a lack of release dates, no big surprises, and Sony's backwards stance on Cross-Play, they're not looking too good to me coming off of E3. Of the big 3 first parties, I think sony did the worst. Nintendo first, Microsoft second, and Sony third by a mile. This is coming from someone who owns all three companies consoles.
I thought it was quite dissapointing. No big surprises, and either the exclusives have no date, or are 2018. Sure the gameplay looked great, but I watch E3 for the announcements. This was just last year's games but with gameplay and loose dates. And no, a remake of SoTC isn't exciting. If I wanted to play that game I'd play it on Ps2 or 3.
Im still plugging away on Zelda, I love my Switch!! Though i also do have Ratchet and Clank from gamefly so i might pop that in my ps4 and give it a go if i can tear myself away from the Switch!
Two hours in and a mixed honestly. The combat is phenomenal and the game has an incredible visual identity. Yet, everyhting else just kinda falls apart for me. I don't really like the characters or the story. They just seems pretty flat. Other than that, the game just seems very clunky and poorly optimized. I have had a lot of frustration trying to make the map/quest log play nice, and i have already experienced a hard crash, frame drops, and a bunch of graphical quirks. I'm excited to keep playing, but as soon as i get my Switch and Breath of the Wild I'm not sure how much more ill play. I definitely think Uncharted 4 is still the best PS4 exclusive but i want to give Horizon more time.
Mostly Pokemon Sun (terrific so far by the way), but I'll mix in a bit of Overwatch as well! The 2.0 patch is awesome! Even though i just got Battlefield 1 last week, it really is not holding my attention. The single player is phenomenal, but I just can't get into the multiplayer.
@SonuvLiberty if you're looking in the 20$ range, Hyperlight Drifter, MGS: Ground Zeroes, and Towerfall Ascension are all great picks! There's a bunch of big AAA games on sale for really cheap in the North America PSN too!
I'm waiting to play battlefield 1 when i get an X1 for Christmas (my dumb friends don't have a ps4) so in the meantime I'll be playing the death star dlc for battlefront. I just bought it last night. It is very good so far! On the handheld side, I'll hopefully be putting in some time on the Sun/Moon demo ahead of next month's release! Maybe some world of final fantasy demo or Lego TFA on vita too!
Nothing here really excites me that much. Battlefield 1 and Watchdogs 2 MAYBE, but nothing is tjat compelling to me right now. Rise of the Tomb Raider is gonna hold my attention now for a while. I WAS looking forward to playing Horizon and Kingdom Hearts 2.8, but looks like I'll be waitng until next year for those!
I'm not sure about this game, the beta was okay, but I'm not sure that it would be fun enough for 60$. I'll stick to Destiny and Overwatch for my shooters!
Im going to be playing Rise of The Tomb Raider!! I just got it in the mail friday but couldn't start it until last night. Excellent game. Story so far not as good as U4 but (gasp) much more fun to play than uncharted. Alas, we'll see as i get farther in. Other than that, ill be tapping my foot until the pokemon sun demo comes out on tuesday!
Mostly Destiny Iron Banner matches this weekend (Unbent Tree where are you??). I tried out Transformers Devastation today and did not like it that much. Really looking forward to Batman Return to Arkham and Tomb Raider, but those might have to wait a while because my money is all in for Pokemon Sun! Hopefully I can buy one of those games in the meantime though!
Destiny Rise of Iron! Havent gotten to try it out yet but I'm gonna this moring! Also a bit of Lego Batman 2 on Vita and Laura Croft Go on my phone. I just need Destiny and Overwatch to carry me until Pokemon Sun!
I am a big film fan. Now, i watch pretty much all my movies in the theater or digitally through amazon, but all my digital films are streamed on 1080p. My internet is not great, so whem 4k becomes a medium for me at home, i would like to own the physical dics to insure a steady 4k experiance.
Gonna continue playing overwatch and rogue legacy on vita. I want to get back into hyper light drifter but i cant seem to get back. Really craving some Zelda but Ocarina of time 3d isnt doing thr trick so i might pick up oceanhorn or skyward sword now that its on wii u vc. Not sure about that though. Without breath of the wild, yooka laylee, or horizon im kinda in my own gaming dry spell.
This poll perfeclty captures the issue with the pro. Unlike the new 3ds xl, there is no reason for existing ps4 owners to buy the pro. I don't have a 4k tv and neither do the majority of ps4 owners or people in general.
I need help! So i started no man's sky today, and landed on my 4th planet. I continued to roam around taking my ship place to place, collecring resources. Now, i tried taking off. However i am out of fuel, and dont have the plutonium to repair the ship. I also dont have the materials to heal my freezing meter or life support so i cant explore for this valuable material. So, i jumped into water and killed myself, only to spawn back at my ship- with no fuel. What do i do??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Hi Sammy, I am a huge DC fan and have never tried a telltale game. Should I buy this game or Arkham Knight even though I think the Batmobile/tank looks really not fun? Thanks!
Good thing i have no mans sky and batman telltale this month because these all look terrible (tricky towers looks ok but none of my friends will want to play it with me)
@themcnoisy those two games are very different. Having just investigated further into Rebel Galaxy I don't see the same appeal. I stand by my opinion that for the most part ps plus games just aren't very good (in my eyes). I have maybe downloaded 5 since i began my subcription (across vita and ps4) this january.
Frankly i think the PS Plus requirement is stupid for any game. Overwatch is run on battlenet servers but I still have to pay! It is ridiculous. Why should I pay when others play the same game on PC for free, or better yet on my Wii U with no charge! How many times has the Nintendo Network been DDOS attacked? How much do i have to pay to play splatoon with little lag? The answer to both is Zero.
Ill be playing Overwatch now that Ana was added (she is awesome by the way) along with some Pokken and splatoon with friends and a little gravity rush on vita. I tried Blast Ball on 3ds but i was not thrilled. It was fun, but it did not sell me on the game. I am much more interested for Federation Force than Blast Ball
I laughed out loud at that title lol great job! On another note, I am glad to see how evenly Nintendo sells with Sony week for week. Similarly I'm glad to see Vita land a number two game! Good for them!
I'll be continuing Overwatch but my focus will be on handheld this week with the ratchet and clank collection on Vita, and a ton of pokemon go! What a great game. I also got Kirby planet robobot but I'm not really feeling it.

Re: February PlayStation Plus Games Revealed
Awesome! Have wanted LBP3 for a long time. Starwhal is a lot of fun too!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 149
@rjejr yep, I put a fair amount of time into Xenoblade Chronicles X, and the games feel pretty similar but I lile the combat more in FF XV.

Re: PS4 Exclusive Gravity Rush 2 Tumbles into 2017
