    Does this surprise anybody?

    If the quality is at least on par with the previous games, I say why not.

    I don't see a problem with it either. I'm more interested in MGSV right now, so Uncharted can wait. Oh, and speaking of MGSV...

    Since I'm waiting for this console war to cool down so I can see all the reviews and wait for all of the bugs to be fixed (along with a possible price drop), I may switch to the PS4. It all depends on the games in the end. I've always preferred the Xbox interface and the ability to chat with friends cross-game, but if the latter is an option on the PS4, it might be what I go with in a year or so.

    Curse you, NaughtyDog. The only way I would ever buy a PS4 would be for Uncharted 4, and now there's this cursed temptation. Hopefully the game won't be out until late next year at the earliest, so that I don't feel pressured into going and shelling out cash for it while the price is still high.

    I'm sure that's when it'll release. I loved the 'Uncharted' games so much, and every once in a while, PlayStation comes out with a really great exclusive. I talk up the Xbox exclusives a good bit, but even those don't excite me anymore: never cared for 'Gears of War,' 'Halo' isn't good anymore, 'Dead Rising' games seem to cater to the hardcore fans, which I'm not, and even 'Forza 5' this year seems to focus more on MP, which ruins it for me.

    Have you played Uncharted 1 & 2 yet, @Creasy47?

    I honestly don't remember which ones I've played. I think I played 'Uncharted 1' a long while ago on a friend's console, but not all of it, and when I had a PS3 a little over a year ago, I played the second and third games. Not sure how I didn't let myself play through the trilogy in a proper manner, but I still had a lot of fun. Really, really excellent games.

    Not even for The Rest of Us (which would be the perfect title if The Last of Us ever gets a sequel)?
  • Anyone played Assassin's Creed 4 yet? If so what are your thoughts? I'm really tempted to buy it but since there's only a week left I think I'll wait for the Wii U version rather than getting it on xbox.

    I got my fingers burned on AC3, so i'm going to wait a while before I think about buying AC4.

    I don't think I'll pick up AC4 at any point, no matter the price. AC3 was such a disappointment to me that I'm sure I can expect more of the same with AC4.

    By that logic you shouldn't have gone to see CR because of DAD ;)

    I didn't think AC 3 was a bad game but I can see why some people didn't like it. Apparently the new one isn't selling as well as AC 3 which could be due to lots of people not liking AC 3. I think it's probably more to do with people waiting for the new consoles though.

    @thelivingroyale, I wouldn't agree with the new console logic, but since it is on current-gen and next-gen, I'm sure it'll sell a lot more come release of both the PS4 and the XB1.

    After watching gameplay videos, I just think AC3 looks the same as AC4 in almost every aspect. It's not always a bad thing, if a game is doing something well, why change it? Just don't milk it. Having said that, I found a lot in AC3 to get stale after a while: collecting and climbing became tiring, the combat was pretty dull after a while, the bugs irritated me (which seem to be plentiful in AC4, as well), and after AC3's ending, I can't really see how they went with doing another one.

    You can't look at CR and DAD and say they look the same, ;-)

    No, no they don't. AC3 and AC4 don't either.

    Well after beating AC3 100% and watching a lot of AC4 gameplay, I feel that they do.
  • Well CR and DAD are different but both have the Bond ingredients: fit girls, Aston Martin, exotic locations, etc.

    Just like AC 3 and AC 4. Pretty different games but both have the Assassin's Creed ingredients: hood, parkour, hidden blades, counter based fighting, jumping off view points, etc.

    Is it true that the game is more sea oriented/woods oriented? Could've swore I read somewhere that if you didn't enjoy the naval warfare or the Frontier from ACIII that you shouldn't pick up ACIV.
  • edited November 2013 Posts: 12,837
    Well it's definitely more sea oriented than AC III was because it's a pirate game. Sailing is a massive part of the game as opposed to just a side mission.

    Since there are 3 cities and the rest of the islands are jungles, beaches and ruins, I'd imagine that there's a fair bit of wilderness stuff too (the hunting is more like Far Cry 3 now apparently because you can craft stuff).

    I haven't played the game yet, so I wouldn't know. I'm simply pointing out that nothing in the next-gen but the aforementioned Uncharted 4 has me wanting to buy the console. With games in the current-gen like Arkham Origins, The Last of Us, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (and the sequel) and a few more I can't readily think of that I'd still like to play, I don't even think about the next-gen consoles.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, that's my mindset now: nothing blows me away for such a price. I hopped on the 'next-gen' bandwagon when E3 appeared, reserving a console and five games, and over the summer and these past few months, I canceled three games, and was left with one I already have on the 360 and one that seems to cater towards more multiplayer gameplay now, and it just doesn't excite me. I'm sure both consoles have their perks and their downsides, but I can't warrant spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars for games and online play on consoles that I won't even have friends to play with.

    So are you holding off on going next-gen now? Which console do you think you'll get when the time comes?

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I am. I still have my XB1 and two games paid off, but I need money for loans/textbooks, and I'd appreciate some spending cash for some Black Friday blu-ray deals. I just can't justify the next-gen purchase whatsoever, except for having the "next big thing," which I'm not about at all.

    It all depends on what I'll get, but mostly it'll be what my friend decides to get (we both decided to wait it out and see if the PS4 interests us) and which console has the better games. I lost interest in 'Dead Rising 3' and 'Titanfall' doesn't exactly scream excitement to me. My Xbox Live is up in July of 2014, so if the consoles are more in stock around then, I'll decide what's best.

    Interesting. As I said, I'm definitely holding off, as like I said, the only game I want from next-gen is Uncharted 4, which won't be released until about a year anyway. At that point, hopefully the price for the PS4 will be down quite a margin, likely at $300 if I'm lucky, at which point I'l make my decision. I would wait even longer to get it after that, but with how the world works now, the internet will spoil the game for me if I don't get it and play it guickly enough. It's a shame what the world has turned into, where you can't even sit and enjoy your game without the fear of it being ruined for you. That's the battle I fought with GTA V, where I knew it was going to be spoiled for me soon after release and I rushed my way through it in fear of that, and didn't get to savor it as much.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I hate even talking about people spoiling games/shows/films, because it's "Well if you really wanted to know what happens, you would've watched it/played it by now. Stay off the Internet, stupid!"

    That was the general comment I got when I had some harsh words for YouTube when they blatantly spoiled the ending of 'Breaking Bad' for me. Clear as day, article one, no secrecy to it, they just showed the ending right in the headline and header image, no way you could've missed it. Then I got the "Well watch it on Netflix, idiot!" Uhh...the last eight episodes weren't on Netflix. I can't stand people anymore who just want to hate and argue just for the hell of it.

    I saved the ending of 'GTA V' after completing everything else in the game, and I had an idea of how it ended thanks to some more unsavory people on the Internet. You can't escape it, it really is a losing battle sometimes. If you aren't there to see a brand new movie at midnight or get a brand new game as soon as it comes out, you get the short end of the stick by having everything spoiled for you no matter where you look or turn.

    But yes, back to the original topic, I can't warrant any of these purchases. All of the games I jumped into by instantly reserving, I lost interest in over time, to the point that I realized there is no point in spending $520 on an Xbox One for pretty much one brand new game and none of my best friends to play with. I'll stick with the 360 for six months to a year, playing older, cheaper games and getting into some of the newer ones I missed, and wait out all of the bugs and read all the reviews.

    I have been really grinding on Arkham Origins, finally got all of Enigmas data packs and pretty much at 100% for the game on everything else. This is by far the best game of the year!!!


    Oh yeah I was glad to hear that Uncharted 4 is in the pipe line....
  • Anyone else think the Xbox One is looking really cool? Might get one in the future.

    I've heard both systems have their fair share of problems and are quite underwhelming. Glad I canceled my pre-order.
