Just looked up some comparison videos. Damn, PS4 seems far superior. It plays all of the games in 1080p, whereas Xbox One is running half of the games in 720p - and the Xbox seems to have frame rate lag/stutter issues on some of the games too.
Looks like it's decided then. Now just to sell a kidney or something. Any takers?

I think Microsoft already gave up on this generation.

PS4 is more powerful, so if all you want it for is games I would go with that.

Got NBA 2K16. Think I made a mistake. Not a fan so far. I paid for it so I'll keep playing but the rave reviews seem to be pretty exaggerated.

Keep playing. It is a simulation-based sports game, play games like in real life. Get to know the controls. It can be very frustrating at first, but then really fun. Also, it helps to pick one team to learn with.bada wrote:Got NBA 2K16. Think I made a mistake. Not a fan so far. I paid for it so I'll keep playing but the rave reviews seem to be pretty exaggerated.

That story mode takes like 2 hours and then it turns into the My Player mode from years prior. It kind of sucked, but I admire them for trying something different.LoathedVermin72 wrote:That's the Spike Lee one, right?bada wrote:Got NBA 2K16. Think I made a mistake. Not a fan so far.

I keep hearing that it's realistic but I really don't see it. The computer flies all over the place and my guys are stuck in mud. They go right by me but my point guard can't drive by a center in the open court. They block everything. It's close for the first three quarters then the computer goes nuts. My guys run into each other on offense. The Sixers point guard is lighting me up I've never even heard of him. I hate the prostick. The pick and roll on Live 2008 was light years better than the one here. I'm miserable.Monkey_Driven wrote:Keep playing. It is a simulation-based sports game, play games like in real life.

Have to learn how to dribble in certain situations. Spin moves, in and out, etc. I wish there was a better tutorial mode, but I would recommend going into the practice mode or open gym. You might want to play around with the difficulty sliders and bump up the game speed too. It seems kind of silly, but it might take you dozens of games to get the hang of it.bada wrote:I keep hearing that it's realistic but I really don't see it.

I'm gonna buy myself a PS4 for Christmas. Must have games besides the obvious big titles? I kind of want to get Bloodborne but I'm thinking I might suck at it and just hate it.

Would also be interested in these suggestions. Looking at getting Battlefront and GTA V, but would like to know what specifically NEXT Gen is worthwhile (already got an Xbox 360).Orpheus wrote:I'm gonna buy myself a PS4 for Christmas.

Bloodborne is tough but awesome and the expansion has added a lot of good material. Once you get the hang of it the game is one hell of a unique experience. The storyline and the atmosphere of aliens and humans attempting to have offspring, it's...lets just say it's interesting. I say give it a chance.
Rocket League is great, cheap fun.
The last of us HD remastered.
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor is excellent and cheap now with all of the expansions and DLC
Dark Souls 2 scholars of the first sin - I want to check that out. Heard good things.

I tried friend but I returned 2K16 and got Live 16. I'm much happier. It came down to the controls. I've played Live obsessively for so many years the 2K16 buttons being different was a mountain I couldn't get over. The 2K16 graphics are better but I think I like the overall presentation of Live better. The game recaps are fun. The game flow seems better too after I messed with the sliders a bit. Not as good as Live 2009 flow wise which doesn't make any sense but whatever. There are bugs. The last game I played Avery Bradley was running around without a shirt on and his stomach was missing. That was weird.

I have logged way too many hours in Fallout looking for magazines and bobbleheads.

Battlefront is loads of fun, I thought I'd get sick of it after a week but I love it.
