Math You posted:Has anyone tried upgrading their HDDs with the Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2tb external drive? I have it and it was easy as pie. My buddy did the same thing and his doesn't work at all. I think someone earlier mentioned the possibility that some units don't pull enough power for a 2TB or something? Seems to be fairly rare (so of course it happened to the guy I recommend it to)

Finally ready to pull the trigger on an next-gen console, I only owned a PS3, not an X360. I was fully anticipating before the consoles launched that I'd be switching over to game with all of my friends on XBL but the longer I've waited the more set on a PS4 I've become. Just a few questions, I was really hoping to wait for some more compelling exclusives to come out before I pulled the trigger but I think my want to play Destiny at launch is spurring me to make a decision. 1) Anyone who owns both consoles... are there any clear areas that it seems like PS4 or XB1 will be taking the lead in at any point soon? The XB1's tv integration is totally useless to me as I don't watch any cable channels, all of my tv watching is of the torrent/plex/roku nature. Any reasons I'm overlooking for why I should take another look at XB1 or is everyone here pretty happy w/ picking the PS4? 2) Where can I pre-order the destiny white edition PS4, and is it worth waiting for? if there's some smoking deal elsewhere on a black one that I'm not aware of then I guess I don't need to wait, otherwise I would kind of sort of like a white one.

You can get the Destiny bundle on Amazon (445), but Sony is selling black ones for 360 right now on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-PlayStation-4-500GB-Gaming-Console/161392447205?afsrc=1 Comes out to be  420 with DestinyBonus points if you're like me and have money randomly sitting around in your paypal account!

If you only care about games and not media integration or anything like that the PS4 is well ahead of the Xbox One and that doesn't look like it will change anytime soon.

Only care about games for the most part, also bluray playback I suppose since I would likely get rid of my ps3... But being able to game with friends will be a big component as well and the ps3 just never felt like it got that right compared to XBL. I have yet to even pick up a ps4 controller to see how the friend finding works but it sounds like it's a much better experience over PS3?

You can get good media server functionality for a lot cheaper than an xbone. PS4 is a really good gaming platform that only looks to get better.

Underwhelmed posted:You still cannot aim a gun and move at the same time as you could in 4 or Peace Walker(at least not with manual aim) which takes a bit of getting used to after something like 10 years of almost every 3rd person action game in existence using the same basic control set up. MGS3 is still the best game in the series though, and once you are used to the shooting controls, they are fine. I forgot about this--I guess this is why playing MGS4, 5 and Peace Walker like straight run and gun action games is so easy. I just got around to playing MGS5 and I didn't really bother using stealth at all my first time through, which felt a little weird. Seems as though the series is getting away from its stealth roots a bit.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:The original MGS seems to be the only one with a decent plot, the rest (including MGS' own predecessors) just went off the loving rails. This is the only Metal Gear I've ever played and while it was a fun game it did not have a decent plot. Here's a refresher, if you need it. It's a dumb convoluted techno-military soap opera complete with people dying right before they can relay crucial information, a mysterious evil twin, somebody coming back from the dead, and cringe-worthy romance between paramilitary super-heroes. It is bad, campy, dumb writing and if it's really the best one story-wise I'm suddenly very nervous about the plot of Silent Hills.

il serpente cosmico posted:IDK I thought 5 was pretty easy to Rambo through That's basically what I'm saying - it's become easier to go in guns blazing because the controls have improved. The game is still very much about stealth though, and it's essentially impossible to get a good ranking by shooting things up. I also haven't tried shooting stuff in hard mode, but I imagine that wouldn't go over too well.

Another update on Share Play, apparently it's one hour blocks at a time and works with all ps4 games so it's a system thing. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4s-upcoming-game-sharing-feature-limits-you-to-6/1100-6421730/

I've had my PS4 for a few days now, and so far the only games I have for it are Road not Taken, Fez, and P.T., because they're all free (well, the first two on PS+, at any rate.) I know I'll pick up Destiny when that comes out (is it worth it to pre-order now? Is the Beta still going on, or did that close?) What else should I get? I played both InFamous games on PS3, so Second Son seems tempting, but I'm worried it'll just me more of the same, yet a little prettier. I've never been into Call of Duty of Battlefield, so those are out. I have Transistor and Rogue Legacy on PC, and I might eventually buy them on PS4 if they drop in price, but not right now. I tried out Watch Dogs via Gamefly, and didn't care for it. Is Assassin's Creed IV good? Will I enjoy it even I only ever played the first rear end. Creed game about halfway through? Or do I need all the others for story purposes? Is Lego Marvel Superheroes with $40? I also haven't played any previous Lego games...I'm a terrible gamer, it would seem.

You might enjoy ACIV a lot as you aren't burned out by its mechanics but there are some repetitive elements to mission structure and collectibles. Totally worth it for the sea battles and being a pirate, though.

Last of Us is probably your best choice right now, I really got into ACIV despite barely playing any of the previous ones, and Lego Marvel was on sale for $10 a couple weeks ago so it's probably best to wait for another sale.

Some of the story stuff will make no sense and there will probably a few times when the game obviously intends you to have a huge dramatic realization that just goes over your head but that doesn't affect the core pirating gameplay which is really fun. quote:Is Lego Marvel Superheroes with $40?

AC4 is good, conditionally. You don't need to worry about story stuff, as I'm pretty sure there's a cinematic that fills in the so-called plot fairly well before the full game starts, and after that there's only a few tie ins. You'll be lost at some of the references, but frankly I was lost at some of them too and I've played every main game since the first one came out. Gameplay wise, it's quite fun. It's basically a pirate sim, with the occasional boring plot mission you have to do in order to upgrade your ship more and go kill pirates. I enjoyed it a lot, despite the boring mission design, and the game looks very pretty as well. If you've got gamefly, it's worth a rental.

I own Last of Us for the PS3, and while I'm aware it looks gorgeous on the PS4, I'm not ready to drop another $60 on it. I forgot about Tomb Raider, which did manage to slip under my radar last generation. And I got inadvertently spoiled on parts of the rear end. Creed plot anyway. I know there's the Assassin's vs Templars, and some artifact thing, and then aliens did some stuff? Something like that? though I'm not sure what game that's from, other than not I...One of the half-dozen rear end. Creed II spin-offs? III? IV? I do like pirates, though...
