I finished the campaign in Uncharted 4 tonight. Holy hell what an amazing game. 10/10. May consider replaying again in the near future.

Will try the multi-player mode soon.

I finished it last night as well. Stellar work. We should do some RM multiplayer in the near future.

Still trying to get caught up on the great games I've missed. Up next is either Tomb Raider: DE, or Metal Gear V.
Which one should I get?

Ugh, I forgot the PS4 isn't backwards compatible (it's available on PS3). I wonder if there's a digital bundle on the PlayStation Store.

Nope, doesn't look like it. But there is a new one planned for 2017.

Yup, I sold my copy of NBA 2k16 as soon as they announced it. A great game.

Gone Home is solid for what it is, but pretty overrated by the gaming media.

Yea, I truthfully don't know when I'll even have the time to explore Gone Home -- probably next winter sometime. But I am psyched for NBA 2k16. Seems like an especially generous freebie, considering it's gotten rave reviews. It'll be the first basketball video game I played since PS1, so I'm expecting great things.

I've said it before in this thread, but it is a simulation basketball game. The controls and rhythm of the gameplay are not easily learned. Try not to be too discouraged at first. Pass the ball and take good shots. There are some excellent tutorial videos out there too.

I would be more than happy to play online sometime to give you a few tips and tricks. (And to play Rocket League too)

Jeezus christ, the controls are nuts! I did watch a great tutorial last night on dribbling and shooting, and I love the general concept and use of the R and L sticks. But everything after that is super overwhelming. I'll keep at it and keep you posted...

Just remember to pass. Sometimes it is tempting to try to use the sticks to try to juke everyone out of their shoes, but the defense is usually pretty good. Move the ball, take good shots, and know the team you are using.

I'm playing a franchise with the Wolves. Wiggins and Lavine are fast breaking fools.

The My Player mode is a great way to learn/practice one on one defense.
