I suppose I could rank the 5 best PS4 games but, to be honest, I feel that I would have to include games not because they're good, but because I had to pick 5, and I don't want to do that.

I'll just say that, in my opinion, the best and only must-have PS4 game is Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.

Sure, inFAMOUS, Assassin's Creed IV, Resogun and maybe a few others are decent enough games, just not worthy of being included on a "best of" list, and certainly not on a "must buy" list, at least for me.

Just my opinion, but the PS4 is desperately lacking in quality games worthy of being purchased. As this is Sony we're talking about, I have complete and total faith that awesome games will come; it's what they do best, IMO. Unfortunately, however, that doesn't make the here and now any less painful.

You're not alone. PlayStation users have been asking for this feature for several years now. Why Sony has chosen not to allow it, even if for a fee like their competition does, I have no idea.

I believe that, sooner or later, Sony will figure out a way to make this happen. Just a gut feeling, nothing more.

The way I look at it is that both consoles are doing very well, it's just that the PS4 is doing exceptionally well.

As a proud owner of both consoles, I'm glad they're both selling. The more consoles out there, and the quicker they get into people's homes, the more and better games that will come.

Both are awesome machines that will offer awesome experiences making both of them well worth owning, at least for me.

I want a ton of games from last gen to get remasters on current gen. The ones I most want would be:

  • Uncharted trilogy
  • Mass Effect trilogy
  • Arkham series
  • Elder Scrolls series
  • Borderlands series
  • BioShock 1 and 2 (don't care about Infinite as I hated that game)
  • inFAMOUS series

I have only a small interest in VR right now. I will need to see and hear more, as well as get pricing info, before I can know if I will try it or not.

I really loved both inFAMOUS 1 and 2 but, unfortunately, I found Second Son to be somewhat boring, with bland characters, repetitive missions, and a general lack of things to do; overall a step back for the series. Were it not for a lack of games to play (for me) on PS4, I may not even have finished Second Son.

To me it feels like Sucker Punch's goal was to impress graphically with tons and tons of particles and pretty colors, while forgetting that a game must be fun, interesting and make the player feel interested in what they're doing, something I feel it lacks, especially when compared to the first two entries in the series.

I personally felt little reason to explore the world and, outside of clearing up a couple of "side missions", playing post-credits felt pointless. I also have a real problem with an open world game not having a real-time day/night cycle, nor dynamic weather. For a game who's world struggles with feeling alive as it is (IMO), having static time of day and weather certainly doesn't help matters.

Oh, and even though it's not really a big deal, what happens when you fall in water is ridiculous, IMO.

I'm certainly not trying to say it's a bad game or that I didn't like it at all, I just think it's the weakest entry in the series and a far cry from what it could've/should've been.. If I had to score it I would give it between a 6.5-7.

If what you're seeing creates even some doubt I suggest waiting to get it on sale; lessen the chance you'll be dissatisfied. "Buy when the price matches my interest" is my moto.

Watch_Dogs for me. I have little to no interest in Wolfenstein.

I didn't like Skyward Sword at all. Now, admittedly, I didn't beat it, but that's because I didn't like it enough to try.

Should Nintendo ever see fit to re-create the game for the Wii U, I would be willing to try it again because one of the things I disliked the most about it was the controls; I just don't like motion controls for a game like that. With the GamePad, one of my biggest gripes would be addressed, so i would try it again.

As I do anytime I make one of these lists, I will leave off multiplatform games and stick with games only available on the console(s)/brand in question (unless series was only also on PC, then that's ok):

Now then, my favorite Xbox (Xbox, 360, One) games (in no order):

  • Ryse: Son of Rome
  • Alan Wake
  • Crackdown (both)
  • Chromehounds (to this day the only multiplayer game I loved)
  • Fable (all of 'em)
  • Gears of War (all of 'em)
  • Kameo: Elements of Power
  • Project Gotham Racing 4
  • Dead Rising 3

That's all I can think of right now. I sure hope we see all of those franchise back in beautiful Xbox One glory.

EDIT: Too tired from work - just realized you asked for a top 5, lol. I don't know. Can't figure that out right now. Maybe I'll edit later and pick my top 5.

Yeah the PS4 is missing a ton of features it should've had since day one. As bad, or even worse, as that is, Sony has been slow as can be at pumping out updates to improve the PS4.

The rate at which certain others pump out great updates that improve their console makes it all the more sad just how slow and unreliable Sony is in this department.

The thing I'm personally missing the most is the long promised suspend/resume feature. As someone who's used that very feature, let's say elsewhere, I can vouch for how awesome and useful it t is. Especially if, like me, you're prone to being interrupted a lot while gaming, the ability to put the system into standby and be able to pickup exactly where you left off upon boot is amazing. Funny thing is that this feature is one of the things Sony first and most talked about features upon unveiling PS4, but where is it? Nowhere to be found. Hell, to my knowledge, they don't even talk about it anymore. Ridiculous.

Hopefully they pick it up and pick it up fast because, IMO, the PS4 feels very lacking and very behind in a lot of ways.

EDIT:

As for BC, I can understand why others like/want it, but I don't care. Truth be told I'd rather get "definitive editions" of many of last gen's greats anyway (like the Tomb Raider and The Last of Us Definitive/Remaster Editions).
