John and Lauren Gaming!

             The details are here in this article. What we know so far however has made me very excited. Here is why. This game is shaping up to be BioWare next step forward (forgetting SWTOR for obvious reasons). For a long time the Kights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect and Dragon Age games have been my favorite games. Why you might ask. Well the story telling is amazing. The effect you have on every conversation and the eventual outcome of the plots is unmatched in gaming. Even if it each game had only one ending the ability to say very negative selfish things each and every conversation means the world. The cutscenes and dialogue are not putting you into a passive observer postition. They make you a part of the story every step of the way.

Hopefully it will be done in a way that you can filter out trolls and negative players. It is hard to tell if this is the way they are going since in the survey it says it will be based of ...

We grabbed the bundle option that Gamestop had going so I picked up two games a second controller and a years worth of Playstation Plus. The games I picked up are NBA 2k14 and Infamous Second Son. I will talk about them at a later date once I have played with them a bit.      The biggest improvement that you can notice first right away is that the dashboard is a lot smoother. Getting into and out of apps is much quicker.     On top of that connecting to my account then my Facebook was a breeze. Downloading the game files and updates were a thousand times quicker. Everything was quick and easy to use and get to.     I only played about thirty minutes of Infamous Second Son.
