SixZeroFou4 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I have a wii u, x1, ps4. I play the x1 online. I play black ops3. If anyone is interested in playing let me know. Provided you're not a troll or hacker we can exchange gamer tags and play?! *I will only share my gamer tag with those I trust.

SixZeroFou4 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 So I don't start a new thread, I'm thinking about getting skyrim remastered. Anyone play it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richpa Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'm still thinking about getting a PS4 pro, mostly becase great exclusives that should come out next year and it would be fun to play some of it in UHD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixZeroFou4 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'm still thinking about getting a PS4 pro, mostly becase great exclusives that should come out next year and it would be fun to play some of it in UHD. I was going to upgrade to the Xbox 1 S, with 4k, since I have a 4k Asus gaming monitor, but that means I would have to pack up the old one to trade it in and etc. I will say the ps4 had better exclusives and graphics, but I just like the Xbox one. Also my friend at the game store was mentioning Nintendo next console will be here in march. I will definitely be getting that. So Richpa, which games were you interested in?

Richpa Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 So Richpa, which games were you interested in? Truth to be told after seeing the first trailers and gameplay for God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, I was thinking about getting a new PS, because graphics and design look gorgeous. Also, Days Gone, Detroit: Become Human and Death Stranding seems like interesting titles. You can find trailers on YouTube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 God Of War looks fucking garbage. Cinematic games are killing gaming. Once again we're gonna walk in a straight line listening to the main characters talk about their problems, a scripted event would happen and a shallow action set-piece will take place.Not that the old GOW games were anything great, but at least they had gameplay as their first priority. This one looks as awful as Last Of Us. Fuck this shit. Fuck it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrim remastered is great. I can't find any flaws. @richpa - get what you think will make you happy.

Well most of the games nowdays are just like movies. I wouldn't call something grabage before actually playing it and getting to know complete storyline. Skyrim remastered is great. I can't find any flaws. I've also heard only positive things about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antic604 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 @SixZeroFou4 - why do you consider purchasing X1S if you have X1 already? In terms of performance it's something like 5% faster than regular X1 therefore it won't display games better on a 4K monitor; it will upscale them (from mostly below native 1080p) just like the regular X1S does, with very minor boost in FPS in select titles. Is your 4K monitor at least HDR capable, because that would be some benefit for the games that support it? Or do you plan buying UHD Blurays and you don't have dedicated player? If you prefer to stick with Xbox brand wouldn't it be better to wait for Scorpio by the end of 2017? @Richpa - good to see a fellow PS4 user! In my case I'm mostly buying games to ...not play them. I think the only ones I actually finished were The Order 1886 and Inside, which is hardly an accomplishment considering their length (the latter is awesome, though!!!). On the other hand I could sink endless hours in Driveclub, Dirt Rally or - more recently - Alienation. As I get older I see that I gravitate either to old-schoolish arcade games (like Alienation, Resogun, Super Stardust) or short/mid length story-telling & puzzle games (like Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Soma, Inside, etc.). I started Uncharted 4, Metro Redux, Ratchet & Clank and got bored somewhere 1/3 in, even if they're great games by all accounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antic604 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Why not? Why yes? What's the added value (for you)? Just curious and I won't try to sway you to the Playstation camp, don't worry. I myself was debating whether or not to buy PS4 Pro, but decided that - with my playing habits - it doesn't make much sense if I already have a PS4. In a sense X1S is a much smaller increase over the X1 than Pro is over PS4, so that's why I'm asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that, but it would be fun to see some new exclusives for X1S, apprently there isn't much going on regarding that matter. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/xbox-scorpio-release-date-specs-news-rumours-4k-vr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games are for me only interactive movies. A movie where you can control the protagonist in a scripted story line and action. For exsample MGS. I never understand the mega hype for this game series. Just only some actions you can do, but most are just only boring dialogs, which took up to 10 minutes or more.

MGSV is a definition of sandbox game (gameplay based on systems), so I don't know what you're talking about... Sure, a game like Uncharted 4 is an equivalent of summer blockbuster movie, but there's nothing wrong with that - there's place for all type of games, just like with movies, music, etc. and everyone have different taste, needs and expectations. For some, the only games worthy of the name are RPGs, but for me I can't dedicate 100+ hours into single game - I prefer short (below 10h) games with a good story OR arcade games, where I can spend 30 minutes just enjoying the gameplay. It's good there's things for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
