So with Fallout 4 coming out, I decided I need to get into the next generation of gaming. Only problem is that I can't decide whether to buy a PS4, or upgrade the RAM and GPU of my few years old PC. They would be about the same price, more or less.

I'd also like to play Bloodborne on PS4, and there are probably some other exclusives that I'd play.

That's the struggle. Thoughts, goons?
Upgrade your PC now for Fallout 4, get a PS4 later for Bloodbourne and Nier 2 and the one or two other console exclusives you missed.

That's a worse answer than fallout tbh
BLOPS 3 is like the fifteenth Call of Duty game and all that, but it is the first to have full campaign coop since World At War and the MP Beta was really surprisingly fun too, so eh, you could do a lot worse than getting the BLOPS CODS and ignoring the others.

If you want to play PS4 exclusives just buy a PS4. Unless there are also PC-exclusive games you want.

Do you have a nice TV and a lounge area you can use when you want/have time for games?

How about your computer? is it stuffed in an office with an uncomfortable chair and a tiny screen?


I went the PC route since i have a studio apartment, But i do miss being able to lounge on the couch and play games while cooking food/ordering delivery.

Not really. You can actively avoid those genres and still be up to your eyeballs in games. There's like hella deals on games and there's also emulation.

EDIT: Also you can play GTA SA as Spike Spiegel :v:

Was checking out a Japanese forum thread about the Halloween sale on Steam right now and one of the games they were highly recommending was this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/350620/

It's 39 cents on Steam right now. Get that poo poo, it's really cool. Looks like a gem that didn't get any attention so the developer decided to sell it for 90% off.

My problem with The Witcher 3 is the combat is terrible and 50 hours in with no end in sight I just lost the will to keep hacking through waves and waves of trash mobs

The story was pretty interesting, just a shame about everything else around it

Set the game to the easiest mode, breeze through combat, see the story. If you don't want the boring game challenge, there's no shame in downing the difficulty that you find unfun.

I played Symphonia in high school and thought it was mediocre. A year later there was a group of kids that were always watching clips of conversations from the game in class and were even sharing some with the teacher, I thought it was bizarre since the game was 3 or 4 years old at that point.

thats my tales of story

I was Tear in a 4-player V.Hard difficulty attempt at the boss Arietta of the Wild. Everyone except me died, and I lived long enough to get them all on their feet and healed again, I say the fight took about 40 minutes, but you have to add another 20 of me running around and slowly getting enough TP to heal and raise. Especially since I ended up wasting half of it raising people who just died 10 seconds later.

PS2, 4-player splitter, there was good times with that gaming.

I've logged 2 hours so far -- it's legit fun and a really Good Game. The map design is cool, too. You get rewarded for exploring far off, hard-to-reach areas with bonus skill points. My favorite level so far is the wind tunnel. If you try to bunny hop, you can fly in a big loop over and over and go super fast!


Bonus: You can use your dirt gun to create a giant cock and balls.

No way I want to experience it day 0 in all its unpatched buggy glory. It's not an adventure if I don't have to manually spawn in at least one quest-critical NPC and/or noclip my character out of the floor. For real.

I usually play games like that at least twice, so once at launch and then a year or two later when there's a ton of dlc/mods out and you can get a fresh experience all over again and try all the choices you didnt the first time

Not really because I have anything against it but more because I haven't even played New Vegas yet. I liked 3 just fine but I still think I'd rather play NV before moving on with the series.

Idk, in my first hour of NV I discovered the powder gangers, befriended them and proceeded to take out every dog with dynamite and also took over the starting town because tunnelsnakes Powder Gangers rule!

Or in my guns playthrough, I immediately went to the wild bill and snuck around killing fools with a bb gun.

Dunno what Tales game you're talking about here but it sure as heck ain't symphonia.

Nah, just fallout 2 (and it's bad as hell). You can still do whatever the heck you want in the first hour of NV. I like to bee-line it to Vegas and gamble my rear end off and get the INT upgrade right away.

I am very sad rn because I don't have any hardware that runs fallout 4 and can't afford any :sigh:

I only have a PC, so I grabbed Zestiria. I guess it's a PS3 port, but looks like a fuckin vita game or something? I'm like an hour in or less, will have to go back to it. Some of the rudimentary battle stuff theyve shown seems like it could be neat later on.

I loved Tales of Destiny back in the day, have not been following jrpgs in general in a long time, no idea what's going on with Tales.

The Kwanzaa Bot is here to protect me.


I liked Tales of the Abyss but put it down when I moved like 7 years ago and never touched it again. Is it worth finding and plugging in my PS2 again for, or should I just get the 3DS version and play that one instead?

Also, weren't there some other mobile ones? Tales of Hearts or Graces or something like that? I don't know if they ever made it out of Japan.

Also also, was there ever a localization and/or translation of Destiny 2? I remember being disappointed when they released Eternia in the US and called that Destiny 2 when there was an actual Destiny 2 that never got released, but Eternia turned out to be good enough to soften the blow.
