The current SF5 release system is looking to be much more expensive for both new and ongoing casual players than the SF4 ultra/arcade edition upgrades so yeah, I believe them.

SF4's new versions were a good deal and I wish they were doing that again instead. Ultra was a $15 upgrade that adds five dudes, SF5 is charging twice that for six. That blows.

Goons, I require your assistance. I do not own a PS4. I think I am finally ready to buy one (I live in America.) Basically I'm buying it "for the future." There will be game(s) coming out soon that I really want to play that are PS4 only.

So, from what I've gathered I can get a PS4 for $349. Is that probably the best thing to do? Just buy a console by itself and then pick some games for it when they come out? I just don't want to miss out on buying some really good bundle or up coming promotion I don't know about.

I do really want to get the Morpheus Playstation VR Headset when it comes out, but that won't be until June and I'll probably just get that as an add on down the road.

So, I just want to make sure I'm not doing something dumb by just going to the store and dropping $349 for a PS4.

Eh, I'd hold off unless you have a BURNING NEED to play something like bloodborne or last of us remastered.

There's bound to be a bundle that saves a couple bucks when the VR comes out.

Awesome!

All my bellyaching about the game's dumb fake money system aside and delayed features, I do think they deserve credit for the online play (after the first night) being more stable than any other PS4 fighter I've played. It's been super smooth so far and matches connect pretty quickly, I've only had one or two really laggy matches. I think it's a very fun game (I even like Survival mode, even if 50-100 matches is too long), it's just surrounded by some dumb crap.

It seems to be wonky. Generally you're supposed to be matched with other players in your class. Similar to how League does rankings from what I'm told.

But yeah it sucks as me, a rookie, being matched up with Super Bronze players every once in a while.

you need to play a bunch before it knows how good you are. i've played 30-40 matches over 3 days and have around 300 points. i am still in rookie league but now about 50% of people i play I can beat and my points are rising. it matches me now exclusively with rookies and bronze leaguers with 1100 points or less.

give it time to figure you out

So I hadn't paid a lot of attention to Far Cry Primal. But I was interested. I guess I thought it was a new full on full game.

It's actually more of a Blood Dragon standalone expansion?

I'm pretty sure they're charging $60 for it but if you're talking about "how much new content is there" I don't have a clue, they've been kinda tight-lipped. I'm pretty burnt out on this genre in generally and will probably be happy to skip this one (especially since it's dropping co-op support) but who knows, maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised

I literally just meant I read a couple game sites talking about how it was a standalone expansions of FC4 "not unlike Blood Dragon."

They could be wrong, of course... But as I saw it in more than one place, it had me wondering...

There are other threads for many of the games that get discussed in this thread. Fortunately this is a general discussion topic and any game that falls under the broad topic of "PS4 games" belong in here and even bearing that in mind games for other systems often get discussed in here too without complaint. SFV is probably the biggest game coming out this month and it's also a console exclusive for the PS4 so it kind of makes sense to talk about it in here. loving deal with it.

Yeah I think anyone who's like "hey I have a PS4 and want a new game for it hows Street Fighter V?" is probably better off posting here than clicking on the SFV thread and jumping to page 84 and seeing post after post of "HK cMP xx cSP" or whatever . Ppl probably gonna post about PS4 games in the PS4 thread and the discussion here is much less in-depth than the specific threads for those games and that serves a purpose

I've completed FFXIII twice (don't ask) and I have hard time thinking what you could possibly referring to that couldn't be solved simply by leveling up your crystarium.
