Ground Zeroes has been really, really good so far. Like, gameplay wise I keep thinking of different ways to tackle the missions or handle certain situations. The mechanics are really starting to click and I am hooked.
And it is really interesting to see MGS take such a different tone in storytelling, and how minimal it is in GZ. But the gameplay is just superb.
I was gonna maybe cave and buy GZ but a friend will let me borrow it instead
Which is good, I really didn't feel like paying $30 for a two-hour game
Brad comparing it to FC3 on the latest Bombcast made me at least want to dig into it
GZ is a bit odd. If someone just wants to play through the main mission and see the story and be done once, there is zero way I can recommend it to them.
But if they have any interest at all in digging into the game I would recommend it 100%, even at full price. I've already put in at least 10 hours and will easily put in 10 more before I am done with the game, if not more. I am not sure if there is a way to see how long you have played a game via the PS4's UI, because there doesn't seem to be a timer built into GZ itself.
Well it's ridiculously easy to join up with people for multi on the PC, if that's what you mean. I'd think the local play would be more frustrating, since you're stopping everytime anyone wants to fiddle with their loot (which is all the time) and I'm pretty sure the loot doesn't drop for each individual person in console local offline play (so someone could nab every piece of loot leaving you high and dry).
Ideally, people would be in the same room and networked online either on the PC or console.
Also if you're hunching uncomfortably over KBAM, you're playing PC games wrong. Office chairs can be quite comfy.

Nah, none of those things were what I was really thinking about at all.
Diablo just seems much better as an experience where everyone is on the same couch, laughing and yelling at each other as dumb stuff happens on the screen. Maybe they can streamline loot and equipping stuff using the touch pad on the DS4 somehow. Really the game should just auto equip the best thing you guys have found so far for each slot, the less time fiddling with gear and the more time killing mans the better.
I am pretty excited for Helldiver on the PS4 for similar reasons.

Connor is, theoretically, the most interesting Assassin so far.
Big fat F on execution, but if I went in blind and read a one-line description of all of them, Connor is the one I'd want to hear more about.
Speaking of, I finished my first Renegade playthrough of Mass Effect 1 yesterday
holy moley the only thing that's missing from the ending is a nazi salute bring on the interrupts now yes
Fenris
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
Reggie keeps sounding to me like Chris Parnell and it is really throwing me off.
There is a REALLY good "just killing time" scene in that game between two friends that stuck with me pretty hard
but I really wish they had given him a little more depth other than ' I DUNNO ABOUT THESE SUPERPOWERS DELSIN'

I'm pretty sure I need to call poison control.
Agnes is real annoying though.
Touch controls are usually the worst thing in the world because you're often forced to let go of the controller (or forego it completely)
The small actions in this that require the touch-pad are really novel though, I love it
your party is made up of Guy From Destroyed Town, Crystal Guardian Girl, Amnesic Guy and Turncoat Enemy General.
It's fucking great.
Yessss
huh

there's this big dumb plan that's so big and dumb and the immediate next cutscene explains in detail why it was so dumb

Unless you are someone who goes back to play games often, I wouldn't buy it
Maybe then we'll finally know when it's coming out
At some point I decided to hold off on playing Diablo 3 at all until that one's out
D3 on PS4 would be rad. Diablo 3 seems so much better suited to being a party game than something you play at a computer to me.
If they had the PS4 version, I would check it out
All they have is last-gen
Even if Diablo 3 is genuinely a much better experience click click clicking
Being able to laze about on a couch is much more important to me

The list is out, for now it's just gonna be AC4, NBA 2K14, CoD Ghosts, Thief, and Watch Dogs when it comes out
That could change in a month or so, of course
