Thinking of doing the same, some damn good games on the system already and plenty coming soon.
Gonna see what Black Friday deals will be going!

Tried to talk myself into the OneX but there's only really Crackdown I'm bothered about.

Now on to Horizon 3, Quantum Break and Halo Wars 2. Very Happy , not to mention that I need to check out those backwards compat titles with nice a res boost..

I am starting to think if I should get into ps4 pro or xox... I avoided those scummy consoles this gen and had 360 last time(loved it). My fav games were Gears trilogy. The Darkness1, Mass Effect1,2 gta IV, Dark Souls, Saints Row3, Dead Rising1 and so on. Most made it's way to pc thankfully.
Now I am gaming on a pc and it's great. Most games do come out on pc, are cheap and run great. It's good time to be a pc gamer... and gsync/240hz would be hard to let go.

Is there anything else other than Bloodborne worth it on ps4? I did borrowed ps4 from a friend few months ago and finished horizon... which I did not liked all that much. I think it's open world was bad and controls were very clunky. I've finished 3 uncharted games on ps3 years ago (also borrowed from a friend) and only liked 3 a little bit. I think uncharted games are overrated crap with bad shooting feeling.
I also hated interacting with ps4. Menus are terrible, patches take ages to download and the thing (base ps4 model) was loud as fuck. The damn thing was a jet engine when played Horizon. Also - the controller battery life fucking sucks. My 360 and ONE pads last like 40-50 hours and ps4 did like 5.

But I would probably love bloodborne even though I liked ds3 only so-so and loved ds1 and ds2(yes, I think ds2 is better than 3). And there seem to be some good exclusives coming too.

On xbox one X, there is NOTHING except for 360 compatibility with nice graphics. But I already have working 360 so no point to that. Even if it broke I can get another 360 almost free lol. And xbox one X does not support The Darkness bc anyway.

How is ps4 pro? I would use it with my monitor and the console would have to stand vertically next to pc case on my desk. My pc is inaudible, so if ps4 pro is also a jet engine then.... Neutral

edit: My gf asked if I want ps4 for christmass, so that's why I am thinking about it Laughing
Maye slim is quieter? The 500gb slim is quite cheap. Pro is huge, almost twice expensive and probably loud. My monitor is 1080p though and does not have hdr... downsampling from 4k or better fps would be nice though.
There is also a switch option... but what would I do with that Laughing

Having played pretty much most PS4 games, I've to say it's not bad at all. Sure not good as PC but some games are good and overall experience is quite comfortable.

Speaking of games, not a fan of Hozion Zero Dawn either. Looks nice but that's it. Everything about the game was pretty meh and I don't know why so much praise.
Persona 5 - if you are into JRPG games, this will be a perfect buy. The game is AMAZING! Very Happy
Bloodborne - even though the game is good, it runs pretty bad, even on PRO. I don't really enjoy playing on sub-par performance with additional laggy feel. Great game if you don't mind the performance.
Uncharted games are just OKAY. Really overrated series. UC4 was utter garbage. UC2 and LL are nice action fun.
Destiny - just avoid.
Killzone Shadow Fall - garbage.
Knack 2 - surprisingly decent.
Flower/Flow/Journey - more pretentious crap.
Ratchet & Clank - very nice fun game. Highly polished too. Really good.
inFamous SS and FF - looks pretty but everything about it is meh.
DriveClub - quite good if you are looking for some racing.
The Last of Us Remastered and God of War III Remastered - WORTH IT!
Until Dawn - too derpy.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy - it's nice if you can get it for cheap.
Everybody's Golf - good time killer.
Gravity Rush 2 - weirdly nice.
The Last Guardian - I didn't like it at all. Boring with awful controls/camera.
Not interested in Yakuza series. Find it very dated. And missing few games. KH for example.

As for noise, it does get freaking load while playing some games. Horizon mainly. Litle bit while playing Last of Us.
DS4 controller, hmm, surprisingly good and I don't charge often. It stays up for days.
Menus are okay. They do lag at times. But it's much better these days.

SLIM is fine as long you don't plan to play every game / multi-plats. Some games do run better on PRO and given we won't see another console for couple more years (hopefully), PRO would be a better choice with slim struggling to keep up.

Overall, PlayStation isn't really bad for the price. I enjoy using it. For both exclusives and multi-plats from time to time. Pretty chill. Smile

Thanks for the write up!

I guess if Bloodborne is my main goal, the slim would be ok. But then again - I am not interested in much more. Maybe Last of us and some few upcoming games. So I guess it's not worth it for me.
I was also betting on Last Guardian but everyone shits on it. Guess Youtube let's play is my friend! Driveclub looks relaxing too but people say it's garbage tier.
Not interested in jrpg/persona. As for Yakuza - I've watched giantbomb's playthrough. It was fun to watch them play it but I don't think I would have as much fun myself.

Also, If I was to get a slim, I only have place to put in right of my monitor vertically (just next to pc case). But this way it's feet wuld be facing me. So I would have to put it upside down Laughing

PS4 is worth it just for Bloodborne if you love your Soulsborne.

I've been playing em since demons souls and Bloodborne is my favourite (lovecraftian world/lore is AMAZING!!!) (despite the frame pacing issues, you get used it, just don't play it right after a locked 60fps game Razz )

You could play PS3 ports like Last of Us and God of War 3, and personally I very much enjoyed The Last Guardian but it has it's faults. Not as *perfect* as Shadow of the Colossus was, but still quite unique, immersive and emotional, if you let it be.

some interesting stuff is coming up too. Last of Us 2, Detroit, Ghosts of Tsushima, God of War, Death Stranding
Bloodborne 2 could be on the horizon as well.

Btw, Uncharted 4 is absolutely worth playing, altho I see how some people see the series as overrated. Naughty dog have never made any excuse for making story heavy games with over the top action scenes. Id just like more puzzles in the last one, other than that it was great imo.

Dark Souls remaster is actually supposedly on its way. Demon Souls is not likely, though.

I have a lot of fun with my PS4 sometimes, though there are other times - months even - when I don't touch it at all. There's loads of games that I actually prefer to play on it, instead of my PC, but that's in large part because of:

a) larger TV screen and the possibility to stretch my bones while I'm playing

b) costs - gaming on a console can be cheaper as long, as you don't mind buying used games and reselling stuff you don't want to keep (for example, I'm certain I don't want to buy AC: Origins on PC, but I might exchange one of my games for a used PS4 copy, to check out if the series went in a direction I'm more comfortable with). Since I only really feel the need to keep the games I really value, and most other stuff I only played through once, buying them on a console seems like a reasonable choice.

As for games themselves, I liked (in no particular order):

Yakuza Zero (haven't tried Kiwami yet) - wonderful game. Kinda reminds me of Shenmue in some ways.
Uncharted 4 - I liked it a lot, but then again, I liked most of them, despite their shortcomings.
Bloodborne - solid RPG. It's souls-like, but then it's not. It's hard to explain, but the game does feel slightly different than other FromSoftware titles. The performance will irritate you, however (especially frameskipping issues).
Persona 5 - absolute must-have if you like jRPGs.
Until Dawn - decent game, despite its many plot holes.
The Last of Us Remastered - it's one of my favourite games of last gen. and it's even better on the PS4. Great title.
The Last Guardian - unique, touching, really nice overall, though not without its problems. It's a wonder it even came out at all, tbh. But I think it's definitely worth it, in the end.
Driveclub - decent, but nothing spectacular.
InFamous Second Son - again, decent, but InFamous 2 was much better.

Haven't tried Gravity Rush and Horizon yet - they're in my ever growing backlog. Some (possibly) great stuff is also coming next year, like TLoU 2, Spider-Man, Detroit, God of War. So getting a PS4 now isn't a half-bad idea. Slim is probably a better choice if you only have a 1080p screen. I have a Pro hooked up to a 1080p TV, and while I don't necessarily regret buying it, the price gap between the two models is too big for what you actually get.

Really? I've not seen that rumors. I bet Dark Souls remaster would be on pc. Although that game aged really well, dsfix does have some issues.

@Deelix - I've seen it on Youtube. A bit too much cinema in that game but still looking very cool in spots. I always preferred gears to uncharted if that says something

I would never watch a full walktrough of this game, its really worth playing. I just completed lost legacy (got it dirt cheap because of black friday). And they should all be played in order tbh.

The new wolfenstein on the other hand had a bit to much cinematics. A little to give the player some purpose is of course great, but it was a bit to longwinded for my taste.

Persona 5 is getting praise from gamers all over, but barely anyone here sells it used Sad I think I'll just have to go ahead and buy it new for 45 euros, it's been ages since I played a proper jRPG.

As for PS4, I truly enjoyed UC4 and Horizon. Think of all; the nice exclusives coming our way Very Happy I hope the Xbox will get some great exclusives, I might buy one if that day ever comes.

Uncharted Lost Legacy is worth the PS4, it's the best Uncharted even if there is no Nathan Drake. The puzzles and the acting were much better than previous Uncharted.

If you like UC3 the best, I think you'll like it a lot (more than UC4, which is similar to TLOU).

Also, Gravity Rush 1 Remastered and Gravity Rush 2 are heavily underrated, yet they are one of my favorite PS4 games. Not sure why people don't know these games, maybe because they are jap crap ? I think they are "fake" japanese games, and are heavily westernized (which is good for me that hate jap crap Razz).

Specially GR2 is heavily improved over GR1 in every aspect (except the shame that it runs at 30 fps compared to GR1 remastered, but it was a Vita game...).

Oh and I hate Bloodborne (and every Souls game Razz).

And don't underestimate Ratchet & Clank, it's one of the best platforms game, yet no hype compared to Mario (both games are great, but R&C seems ignored too). The big con of R&C is that it runs at 30 fps on both the PS4 & PS4 pro, which is a big shame.

Well F it, I got a slim. It will be enough as a side console to pc. Enough for exclusives I hope.
This thing is very small and quiet. I am surprised.

Only got Last Guardian for now. Not played it yet. Will search for bloodborne tomorrow.

Edit: holy fuck - The Lat Guardian is amazing. It is just mind blowing. It's like it's a game for me - slow, beautiful, very atmospheric.
Shame the frame rate is just abysmally bad. But as I've seen it's the one of very few games that dips below 30 on nonPRO console.

As for the ps4 itself - the interface is a joke, the store is a joke. Wtf. But it's still astonishing that 200$ console which is just TINY and completely silent can play 1080p games at all

So - are there any tips for using ps4 to get best performance? Does lowering dvr or anything helps? I am not sure if 3minutes of 30minutes have more strain on hdd.

Anyway - I am satisfied with the Slim. It's silent and plays games that are sadly not on pc. Last Guardian was great - now onto Bloodborne.

If You have some recommendations from psn winter sale, I am listening

Recommendations, basically most exclusives are great.

Uncharted, Order 1866, Until Dawn, Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls, Horizon Dawn are a few the I can recommend.

Oh, I also want to get Crash Bandicoot for fun

Same! I don't even buy games off PSN, only boxed copies - doesn't matter if they're cheaper online.

I do quite the opposite with PC games tho. Laughing

From this current sale? Persona 5, Heavy Rain + Beyond: The Two Souls (if you like this kind of games and haven't played them on a PS3, Heavy Rain is especially worth it, IMO). Maybe Ratchet and Clank or Crash Bandicoot, if you like platformers - because both remasters are actually really good (they pretty much remade the whole games for the PS4). That's about it, as far as exclusives go.

Outside of exclusives there's Nioh, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, a really sweet deal on a complete Dishonored collection. There's quite a lot of stuff there right now.

As for my ps4 slim - it's exclusives only box for me even though the main idea was to just buy it for Bloodborne which I will start sometime in next few days. I already have it but I am taking 2 weeks off soon to have more time to play properly as I love to immerse and spend hours in Souls title.

So I am looking to also get:
-Uncharted trilogy + 4. I already played all 3 games on ps3 years ago when i had it borrowed from a friend and did not liked them... but maybe now at 60fps, 1080p I could give it another try.
-Infamous second son
-Killzone Shadow fall
-Heavy Rain/Beyond two souls combo
-God of War 3 remaster maybe
-Last of Us
-And upcoming 2018 games.

It's difficult to search, because there are games which are "console exclusives" and they will not show in "ps4 exclusives" search.
