Hey you all,

I can sell my base Destiny copy and get the Legendary edition for around $20 more, would this be a good time to get it? I've played the base story and it was pretty average but TTK seems to have stepped up the game by a huge margin according to the reviews, so is it worth the money? Also, I'd rather wait to get an edition with ALL the DLC, but I'm not sure if there's any after TTK. Should I rather wait for another complete edition on the way in the future? Or is this the final paid DLC for this game?

Yes, it's quite populated, around 4 times as much as Hardline is. The game is totally fixed now and an absolute joy to play, so now would be a great time to jump in. Try getting premium, the DLC makes it even better and the bundle should be around 30 bucks.

@GTR12: Could I instead get the game from Europe because Europe is in region 2 and ME is also region 2 and just download the DLC from my ME account? Or is it that the DLC is also locked by country and not just region? I'm worried that DLC might not work because certain DLC parts would be cut out on the ME store but my game wouldn't be the censored version they sell here and conflicts could arise.

Hey folks, I live in ME where The Witcher 3 has censored copies and I would like to get the game off the North American PSN store. My question is, once I create a new NA account and buy the game, can I log back into the other ME account and play the game with the usual trophy earning and stuff? I don't wanna split between two accounts, and I also intend to get the expansion pass, will that work on my ME account too if I buy it from the NA store?

One more question, can I get a physical NA disc and then buy the expansion off the NA store, THEN play on my ME account?

I know it's been asked earlier whether BF4 is worth it on the PS4, but I wanted to know whether it's worth getting after all the patching they've done with the game and with all the DLC out now. It's going for $30 now on the PS Store and it seems a pretty sweet deal considering that the physical one retails for $70 here. There are around 50,000 players playing right now on the PS4 so the community must be pretty alive right now and it would be a good time to get into the game considering that (max level players don't bother me, as a maestro of BF3 and BC2, I'm sure I'll learn on the way).

PS: I'm also thinking of getting the Dark Souls 2 season pass on the PS3 with the leftover $$$, are there people still playing that? Heard the DLC is an absolute must for DS fans.

@MethodManFTW Pretty sure it's not going at 240 FPS, but running Battlefield 4 at minimum seems to be running at around 80-90 FPS and the extra 30 frames are definitely noticeable.

Just my two cents but there have always been graphic debates and these "current-gen" consoles' weakness doesn't seem to be helping. As far as I remember, the PS3 could out-do any computer at the time for $500 and the graphics back then for LAIR were pretty impressive (imagine if it had graphics like TLOU at release o.0). Yeah, Killzone SF looked better than Crysis 3 on most PCs, but the graphical leap is tiny compared to what we had from the PS2 to PS3 (Killzone and Killzone 3 give a pretty good idea).

Can you hook it up to a laptop or PC and run a game with vsync? I'd really bet that is a 60hz monitor. And TruMotion (and all these frame interpolation programs) add input delay.. For some single player games it can not matter that much, but for a game like Battlefield it is definitely hurting you.

And as someone who has Killzone and Crysis 3.... No. Maybe if you are using a crappy laptop or something, but on a decent gaming PC Crysis 3 will look much more photorealistic... if that is your thing.

Playing with VSync on, I think I could push for a higher frame-rate if I had the $$$ to upgrade, it's still in the 80-90s. And of course I don't use TruMotion with games, the input lag is horrendous.

I said 'most PCs' and most PCs fail to meet the recommended requirements for Battlefield 4 (I think only 5% of tested PCs could play the recommended settings), which means most computers can't play Crysis 3 on the Master Race's touted 4K and 60 FPS. Yes if you have a $2000 rig, then you can do that, but then again not everyone has a PC like that, and I'm pretty sure if consoles were $2000, they could do the same thing and more.

Maybe your TV/Monitor is just junk.

U wot m8? It's an LG LW65 200 Hz, pretty sure that something worth 2.5k should be running my games nicely except for a bit of input lag. I'll retry SoM with my monitor and see what kind of FPS I get on it.

State the entire model number, the LG LW65 is a laptop, and adding the 200Hz doesn't help.

My bad, says LW65 on the sticker at the back but it's actually LW6500, some Smart 3D stuff etc. too and it is clocked at 200 Hz, I know it doesn't help but just letting you know that it is way above 60Hz so I should see 60 FPS.

@LordTrexGuy: Yeah no, you'll have to do better than this. News outlets post-release and frame-rates analysis points the game at a locked 30fps. The fact you feel different levels of smoothness across different games on different platforms is irrelevant. This game is 30fps locked until proven otherwise.

But why does it feel so much smoother even when I compare it to PS3 games running at 30 FPS? I believe it runs higher than 30 FPS, and DF is the only place I've seen it locked at 30 FPS.

DF did a frame-rate analysis. It's not like they pulled these numbers out of nowhere. Gamespot(or was it IGN) also has the game at a locked 30fps in their list of frame-rate/resolution. Pre-release, people thought it would be 1080p/60fps but it turns out the game is 30fps. Also, I suspect the reason you feel it is much smoother is because the frame-rate hardly drops. It stays a very consistent 30fps whereas I wouldn't be surprised a game like Killzone 3 occasionally dips. Either way you're comparing two genres and shooter typically feel far more sluggish than 3rd person adventure games. This is why games like BF and COD aim for 60fps all the time and people complain Halo is slow at 30fps despite the movement speed and aiming being a lot faster in Halo.

Well I guess I should just stop caring about the frame-rate then. I also believe that the 'smoothness' may be due to how good the animations are, I was impressed by Torvin's arm-gesturing and the amount of Graug vs. Caragor animations. But I still have a feeling that the game is breaking 30 FPS...

Is that really a 200hz TV? I didn't even know that existed...

I've seen 120hz, 240hz, and 600hz, but a large majority of those (when it comes to TV) are dumb gimmicks like trumotion.

I can vouch for TruMotion, it is absolutely necessary if you wanna watch movies in 3D. Also, TV shows which depend on HD cameras for effects, like the slow-mo effects in Sherlock or the action in Game of Thrones looks much better with the TruMotion turned on. Football is also miles easier to follow with it on. You should really try it for yourself by asking the clerk at a store to switch it off then on for you, the difference is QUITE visible.
