Surely as we approach the age of the Steambox (and as Big Picture becomes more and more viable), things will change? I'm definitely a controller-based PC game player too.

edit: maybe someday the PS3 and PS4 will have the kind of selection and prices that Steam does, but until then, buying games that have controller support on the PC on the PC is still the smart thing to do.

Jesus. I didn't even realize it was that soon and I have a copy fully paid off. I'm not even close to being done with TLOU MP. Then Destiny comes out, and after that there is October...Too many games and not enough time or money.

I'm going to miss the simpler times where only one buyable PS4 game came out every month or two.

This is my problem as well. With limited time to play, I'm thinking I may have to cancel my Diablo 3 pre-order until I finish TLOU. I'm having too much fun with MP that I haven't even bothered that much with the main game.

I think the point was more that it's annoying that the PS4 doesn't have a 5GHz radio in it. Pretty much all new consumer electronics that have wifi at all will do 5GHz at this point, so why did Sony leave that out?

Cost.

Like it or not the PS4 had to be as cheap to produce as possible, there may not be much of a difference between a radio that supports 5GHz and one that doesn't, but when you extrapolate that to millions of units it adds up. The vast majority of people leave their routers to default and don't even know it has an option for 5GHz. Same reason they put in a 500GB hard disk and made it easy to replace, it's cheap for them to do and doesn't hurt the system much. Sony spent the money on the GDDR5 RAM, which will count more in the long term.

The PS3 was sold at a loss on each unit for years before it turned a profit. No way in hell Sony were making that mistake again.

I can't wait to get this game after a bunch reviews and people on the internet say it's great, but I'm not touching it with a ten foot pole until then after playing Dead Island. If there is one thing they taught me it's that they are better at making trailers than games.

I'd say I'm in the same boat, but I love/hated it at launch so much that I just want to start over with a decent loot system and the expansion. Like, it was a pretty good game that was so plagued by stupid bullshit that I really want to go back and try it again after all of the changes. Probably not worth another $60 bux but whatever. I didn't think TLOU was worth buying again either and it's probably been my favorite purchase on PS4 so far*.

*second to Battlefield. Dice can't gently caress that series up enough to not make it the most awesome MP game out there.

Yea, especially now that I've managed to get every class to level cap and have been working on getting the same classes, but with the opposite gender, working to level cap too.

Man Diablo has some fun gameplay if you can just put on some music and relax.

Hohokum tomorrow should be cool for 30 minutes, other than that ugh maybe double dipping on D3 for couch co-op, though that already feels like a mistake.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Hohokum is the kind of game I could see getting GOTY clamored when played winding down under the influence of good relaxing stuff, but then again even the normally "urgggh" feeling Giantbomb crew absolutely loved it in a Quicklook video from a while before E3 this year. The feelings you get from Katamari, the visuals of Katamari, 2D side-view.

I kinda want it.

I don't have time to listen to the entire soundtrack because I have to leave for work here in a few, but the first track really reminds me of Shatter's soundtrack, which is such a good thing. I'll probably buy this thing before the day is over.

Oh sorry, I mean almost a year into PS4 and still playing Resogun. What have we gotten from PS+ that wasn't effectively a free browser based PC game?

It's been lackluster, remasters are something I try to avoid and honestly TLOU never appealed to me, and I'm not into linear (or even 2 path!) shooters.

And renting something I'd finish in a weekend wouldn't validate an entire console for me.

No LBP or similar to scratch the cute and content rich itch, not a decent racing title out so NFS has collected dust from day one, nothing grandiose or large scale like MAG or even falsely so like War/Starhawk. Nothing innovative or exciting using the PSeye/Camera since release. Not even a set piece brawler. poo poo even the "competitive" MP games were terrible and Battlefield is only now reaching levels of playability.

The sports titles have been largely miss, Nba2k14 has probably been the winner for me so far, and I ain't a sports guy, at all.

Hohokum looks cute, but GOTY? Was Flow anyone's game of the year?

I could hype myself for No Man's Sky, but I think everyone is already skeptical enough of that.

Pretty much this. The Battlefield series, even buggy, always interests me way more than the competition and I tend to stick with the game much longer. It's too bad some other company doesn't try to make a comparable game.

Are you just talking PS+ free games? MLB the Show, Infamous, BF4 (at least since January or so), Wolfenstein...all of these were pretty drat good games. TLoU Remastered is also fantastic for people who never played it.

Some of the most fun I've had this year has been Sportsfriends and Towerfall with friends. Injustice has been a great brawler. As for Plus, Strider is great. Pixeljunk Shooter was great. Transistor's my GOTY so far. Also, you should try to borrow TLOU, it's one of the best story based shooters out there.
