I can't agree with this sentiment. In fact, I would advise NOT to play gow 3 before this new one as that game is just button mashing with cheesy story. It shows that it's a game two generations old and not in a good way. I played it and I was utterly disappointed and to this day consider it to be one of the most overrated ps games or games in general. Sorry if this offends some of you but take this just as my subjective opinion, just as this article is.
@Splints no, you're not. I have played rdr on Xbox one and I thought it's a very overrated game. It's not bad, but it's not nearly as good as everyone makes it. I'll probably try the new one but I'm not dying to play it.
@Jaz007 I'm leaning to these shorter experiences more and more. I can't fathom playing a singleplayer game for like two or three months. That's how long it would take you to beat some games if you have limited time for games. I played Witcher 3 for about a whole month and I started losing grip on the story. If you are nolifing so you can dedicate 5 or more hours a day to playing that single game then it's manageable but otherwise not so much. I'm a guy who simply cannot ignore side quest even if they are tedious so sometimes I get bored doing all of that, it becomes a chore and that's not the way it's meant to be.
I'm currently playing ghost recon wildlands and I'm disappointed because there's a severe lack of variety, and it looks like this game has those same problems. So sad as I immensely enjoyed FC3 but found FC4 to be boring. Maybe I'll get this when it gets a hefty discount.
Didn't know about those l1 and r1 buttons, thanks!
But being unable to remove notifications from quick menu (when you hold your ps button) is such a glaring omission to me. I almost never visit dedicated notifications tab on homescreen so this bothers me a lot. I know how easily you can do it on Xbox one so I'm not sure why Sony didn't opt for something like that. Hopefully they'll do it in the future.
@rjejr so far xbox has sea of thieves which is looking really good, state of decay 2, ashen, crackdown 3 and forza horizon 4 is given at this point. Besides that maybe, but only maybe Halo 6.
I wish Sony had something like forza horizon series. ever since I sold my Xbox one (I'm still sad about that) I miss forza horizon
I can't wait for Spiderman. That E3 gameplay sold it for me. I would buy it right away if it was available. Besides that I'm interested in all these games with the exception of God of War, as I'm not a fan of that franchise. And Detroit hasn't really convinced me, so I will see what reviews say.
Anyway, I think this console exclusive lineup is good.
For 2019 they'll have the last of us 2, ghost of thushima and death stranding. Maybe one more game, like bloodborne 2 hopefully, who knows.
So my predictions were good Anyway I already have Bloodborne but I was looking at ratchet for along time, I'm glad I'll get it. I'm also glad they are dropping ps3 and vita, hopefully that translates into better games for ps4.
@Melucine a platformer - Ratchet and Clank
An RPG - Bloodborne
I know you can't confirm but if they say this will be the best month ever since the beginning of the service and with the genres you mentioned, it's gotta be these. And honestly, I would like to get ratchet and clank as I really want to play it,even though I already have Bloodborne goty edition.
Killzone, Inside, Gravity Rush 2, Matterfall. Next month my subscription runs out so hopefully I can get something good for it. I won't renew unless I find that offer for $40.

@b1ackjack_ps do you play xcom 2 on ps4 or PC? If it's ps4 how does it hold up?
Re: New Licensed Pro PS4 Controller Announced - Why Doesn't Sony Just Make One?
This is the correct placement for thumbsticks. Wish there was an option to change their placement on regular ds4 controllers.
Re: Days Gone Won't Have An Easy Mode or Any Other Difficulty Options
This made me more interested in the game as now it doesn't sound like some generic open world zombie game.
Re: H1Z1 Finally Heading to PS4 as Free-to-Play Title, Open Beta Next Month
@redd214 this game is older than both pubg and fortnite.
I have signed up for a closed beta, I'm interested in it.

Re: Legendary Sony E3 2015 Press Conference Could Have Been Even Better, Says Adam Boyes
@get2sammyb I think it's more appropriate to say that they, except for The Last Guardian, became a virtual reality
In my opinion something becomes a reality when we can get our hands on it, otherwise it's just a wishful thinking.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Far Cry 5 is No.1, Biggest UK Launch Week in Franchise's History
3 (Three) Xbox One (console) exclusives in the top 10 at the same time? And people still say that you don't have games to play on Xbox One

Re: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Launches 14th September on PS4

Re: Poll: How Strong Do You Think the PS4's Exclusive Lineup Is in 2018?
@porhawj2016 they are recruiting a new team for that RPG game (Fable probably) so they still can make FH4.

Re: Sony Doubling Down on PlayStation Exclusives in Corporate Reshuffle
Just give me the release date of Spiderman. My most anticipated ps4 2018 exclusive game by far and maybe even overall for this year.
Re: March PlayStation Plus Games Announced
@Th3solution I have no connections at Sony, I only "connected the dots". Not that I would mind having connections at Sony, but I'm just saying hehe.
@Neolit thanks

Re: Talking Point: What Free March 2018 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
@Melucine Well if not two exclusives, then I'd say it's again Ratchet and Clank and The Witcher 3.
I know we will find out very soon, I just find it fun to make a guess and see if it's true
