I want to buy a PS4: help me choose games

[Gredler]

so I think I'll be fine with Alien: Isolation

Yeah it will be your jam I can't stand either of those game's - gredler is not sneaky, at all.

I know I made fun of this thread with my own, but I just bought a PS4 today

Got a used one from gamestop and it allowed me to pick 2 used games under $40. So I got Bloodborne and MLB 15 The Show. Can't wait, I'll get Shovel Knight and probably the Witcher 3 at some point. And the FF7 remake, it's about time I play that game.

Also, anyone play Street Fighter V yet? Worth it? I almost got it but wanted to wait to hear how the launch week went. I saw Lupe Fiasco beat the top SF player though

Staged. There's no way he actually did it legit. He's too busy making mediocre music and meh clothing to have time to practice playing the game long enough to be even close to decent.

I have only put an hour of time into SFV, but while just scratching the surface it seems to be a better game than 4.

Also, 4 is one of the ugliest games I have ever played and 5 looks pretty damn sharp.

Biggest problem is the online ranked battles don't work most of the time, which is a reason I only played an hour.  I tried to play more but network sucks now.  Hopefully they figure that out soon.  There is no arcade mode yet, so there is basically nothing to do when offline.

Tucci were you into halo at all? If so, do check out Destiny!

Also if you're going to play FFVII play the PC or PS4 port. The "remake" is going to be a new game, new gameplay and design based on the original, but not a new version of the same game.

I bought a 20th anniversary PS4 a year or so ago or whenever they released and it's just sat in the box. To me there hasn't really been anything that's come out to open it up for. New game prices have been pretty steep in Canada as well lately. Will probably just sell it and wait a couple years to pick up a regular PS4... Anyone else think it's been underwhelming though?

Every console since the N64 has been underwhelming.

I agree, very underwhelming. I bought the PS4 for Bloodborne. I then bought Dark Souls 2 on it as well. But I already had Dark Souls 2 on the PS3 and PC. I bought Dark Souls 2 five times. Dark Souls twice.

PS3 = Demon Souls on Disc and Download version. Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2
PS4 = Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne
PC = Two copies of Dark Souls 2, one on each of my accounts + I bought SOTFS once. Dark Souls as well.

There has been no other games imo really worth buying on the PS4 yet that fit my tastes. Technically, stuff like Shovel Knight I just buy on the PC. Anything that is cross platform and has a PC release gets bought on the PC. Consoles are only for exclusives at this point imo.

Games?


Isn't 80% of the PS4 library just PS3 games with the word definitive slapped on it? 


It's the whole reason I haven't bought one yet.  Still rocking the PS3

Name 10 exclusive, no "online only" PS4 games. Name 10 that have been well received (by consumers).

Why does a game have to be exclusive for it to be good, thus validating the purchase of the system?

It doesn't have to be exclusive, but the PS4 has few exclusives, than it's hardly worth picking up in favor of say Xbox One or (more likely) PC.

Lack of exclusives is why I sold off my Xbox to begin with.

[Gredler]

Console exclusives outside of wii u are hard to nail down top 10's of, but if you grouped the xbone and ps4 together you could easily put together a list of 10 great games both critically and commercially successful. If you  claim the ps3/360 ports of the same games that are available on ps4/xbone are even in the same category I would argue with you until the cows come home. The current software is developed for those platforms, and so the sacrifices made on the older systems are significant, and purchasing a new system is well worth it if you're playing the same game on an older platform.

[Necromancer]

It doesn't have to be exclusive, but the PS4 has few exclusives, than it's hardly worth picking up in favor of say Xbox One or (more likely) PC.

So everyone should buy a xbone or pc because they are loaded with awesome exclusives?  That's hilarious.

I could care less if anyone sees value in buying a PS4 or not (I don't), but there's no need to concoct some bullshit metrics about the number of system exclusives.
