FATPC

I seldom buy or play DLC. I'm usually content with the original game and move on to other things. But I bought and completed the Following. The open spaces and buggy in the expansion were so much fun and changed up the gameplay. You got me Techland!

@ztpayne7 I don't know if I've ever played 5 hours online in multiplayer for any game. I did the bare minimum for Far Cry 4 for the Platinum and I got online co-op help for a particularly difficult boss in Nioh (I was a Ninja, so the tactic is OK).

@Number09 I understand online games are here to stay. There is a strong fanbase for those games obviously and I'm glad they exist for those gamers. They're just not for me.

And no, I don't buy popcorn and drinks at the movies...BTW I'm going to see Guardians today!

I do love the variety of games Sony offers - something for everyone. That's why I prefer the PS ecosystem. For me, single-player experiences - 3rd person action, 1st person narrative, platformers, RPGs, etc... With large AAA exclusives - Infamous, Uncharted, TLOU, Bloodborne, GoW, Days Gone, Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank... Not to mention strong 3rd party support. I love my PS4!!

I'd like to buy Farpoint, but I can't find the aim controller anywhere. Poor game launch...even if they misinterpreted the demand (expensive VR game requiring a special controller for the optimal experience) their communication about new supply has been nonexistent. Too bad, because this was an opportunity to support VR.

Loved Black Flag, but this is not for me.

I really liked the looks of Anthem and Skull & Bones, but they're not for me (online multiplayer). If either of these were single player with campaigns, they'd make my top-5 choices more difficult...I'd have to create ties to include them all!

5. Ace Combat
4. Hot Shots
3. God of War
2. Spider-Man
1. Days Gone

@BAMozzy Thanks, I figured they did, I'm just not tuned into their ecosystem as closely. I do watch Unlocked regularly for the general game info and I like their cast.

I also try to keep the information feed limited, unless I'm on the fence (Need for Speed...I'm really not a racing game fan, but it looks fun), there's nothing to spoil (I just want to fly around in an A10 and blow stuff up in Ace Combat and play golf in Hot Shots) or if there's something specific I want to learn about (traversal options and scope of Skyrim VR).

@Wesker that's fair...I just think it's the best of both worlds by doing a blast of great game announcements in quick succession and then deeper dives into the games with Dev commentary on the show floor. For Ace Combat the developer talked about (and showed) how rain would build up on the canopy of the plane as it went through clouds and it could turn to ice at high altitude. And the Skyrim VR demo included how the wands could be used to handle a weapon or magic in each, but movement would be teleportation...but you could use DS4 too...a lot of options! I can't wait to be sick in Skyrim!! 😒

@BAMozzy I saw Phil on his yearly PR circuit, Gamespot, Giant Bomb, etc. But I don't really know about Microsoft's participation at E3 aside from the conference. Does MS do something similar to Sony's demos/interviews? My favorite part of the event are the showcases (get the most media coverage too), but I love the developer interviews Sony does too. Just wondering if MS does that too or do they rely on the media outlets - IGN, Gamespot, etc.

@Wesker Sony spent days speaking with the developers on their floor stage and it's posted on Youtube. I really enjoyed the Ace Combat demo and discussion with the Dev. I have a lot more to get to. 😊

I can't wait for this game!!

Sadly aside from Far Cry, the Rabids game appealed to me the most and I don't plan on getting a switch. BGE2 seems like it's in the concept stage and like many I was HUGELY excited when Skull & Bones was first shown...until it was revealed to be a multiplayer blah...so crushing! I'm just not in Ubis demographic

I was excited when I first heard about Bioware's new IP, but the Destiny comparisons are disappointing for sure. I was hoping for a new RPG - a sci-fi Dragon Age - oh well, the rumors are it is an online shooter. There's certainly a market (Destiny, Overwatch, Wildlands, Division, etc.), just not a game for me.

I used to play a lot of JRPGs as a kid - probably my favorite genre. I have fond memories of Dragon Warrior in particular. But I play them very little these days...I Am Setsuna was the only one in a few years and I really loved it!

The wait (12 months+) for it to come west put me off the genre. I'm not paying $60 for an old game. It's the same reason I didn't buy the latest Tomb Raider. Oh well, I hope it's great, because I know A LOT of others are looking forward to it.

I can't wait for this. Hoping I can jump in an A-10 Warthog and support the ground troops!!

@rjejr Bloodborne 2 and new IP from Sucker Punch. One to open and the other to close! Now that would be a way to bookend the show! But maybe you hold one for PSX...

I can't wait!! I love Hot Shots!

Yeah, I was wrong on this one. I assumed Wildlands would come out on top as a multiplat with fun sandbox co-op play. But I thought Horizon would come in 2nd. I thought Zelda would do well with a high attach rate (though not 100%+), but that it would be limited by platform install base. And I thought both would beat Andromeda even though it's multiplat, because of the tepid reviews and horrible word of mouth (bugs, animations, etc.).

Oh well, back to Horizon!

I absolutely love the series! I can't wait for this, I'm hoping the online functionality doesn't get in the way of me hitting the links!!

Love me some Hot Shots!!

@mookysam I agree, I wouldn't write-off Horizon just yet. Zelda's imressive attach rate is still limited by the new user install base. My guess is that Horizon takes the crown for March (for exclusives)...Wildlands will probably take the overall crown, considering the even larger install base [Xbox users have little else to buy ] and people's questionable taste in games

Horizon came out in February in the US...NPD only captured part of Feb (through the 25th), so its entire sales numbers will be included in March. But did the PSN numbers only include March? If so, all digital pre-orders and digital day 1 sales were in Feb's numbers.

I'm really excited for this story. I love the Uncharted universe and I'm really interested to see what Naughty Dog does with a Chloe-led adventure!

Nioh! I'm a sneaky, sneaky ninja!!

I pre-ordered the CE with statue. I can't wait, but now I need a way to juggle this with Nioh!

Well deserved! Hopefully the number continues to climb, so we get a sequel in a few years! I really enjoy the fast paced, challenging combat.

My most anticipated game since I first saw it so long ago. I pre-ordered the collector's edition with the Aloy statue...and I very rarely buy physical games anymore. I saw the preview videos from Kinda Funny and EZA. Everything I've seen sounds awesome and now I'm on blackout with my head down in Nioh!

@GBMatthew Fair enough. I guess I haven't noticed the drop in resolution, because I've been too busy running for my life from the enemies!

Call me crazy, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with DA:I. I felt the story and gameplay together made an enjoyable experience.

@GBMatthew They provide options for the players...high frame rate with lower resolution for players more interested in fast action...high resolution with lower frame rate for those more interested in graphics...and a middle ground...I think Nioh is great and I applaud the Devs for catering to different preferences.
