Next Gen has arrived in my house.

    

   So yesterday my beautiful wife surprised me with a PS4 for my birthday/Christmas/Anniversary. 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. In that time I figured out pretty quickly and pretty effortlessly uploaded a couple minutes of game time to my Facebook.
    Actually the most difficult thing about the system was how to eject disks. I had to YouTube it. The button is so hidden and unbutton like.
    Trophies loaded quicker and the party and friend/message systems were quicker and easier to use as well.
    Overall I would say without getting into the game which I will do in another post I would say it really does feel like a huge step up. I feel like I did when I made the transition from Super Nintendo to Nintendo 64.

Elder Scrolls Online!

   Lately I have been playing ESO on PS4. I have to say it has been a great experience. It is every bit as good as past Elder Scrolls games. So well written and beautifully crafted. The quests are full of story and life and lead you expertly across the land. The many different stories are not only written well but voice acted amazingly. Best voice acting in a open world RPG I have every played. I am having a ton of fun.     I even stuck my feet into the PVP. Even helped take a keep. But for the most part since I didn't have a group to run with and I didn't have a mount yet I found PVP to not be as rewarding as questing. I will try again though this time with a mount  and some friends if i can find a good pvp guild.     I also the other night did my first dungeon. I am a sorcerer and flip between destruction staff and restoration staff skills. So I was the healer for the dungeon. For sure not as easy to heal as any other MMO. Directional AOE h...

It is ok to hate a Game!

                These days ever game franchise and developer and publisher have their faults. Some have many. EA has a lot and Bioware has really squandered some good opportunities like SWTOR. Their are a lot of things about Bioware game that a lot of people don't like. It looks like EA is going to do everything it can to continue its aggressive DLC policy.       With all that said it is important to look past all the BS. Look at what is put on the shelf and ask yourself is this game worth the price. Will I enjoy this and will it make me happy. Even with all the things I don't like about this game or this company will I still enjoy this? Don't listen to the hype or the haters. Just ask yourself what your opinion is on this game.      For me at this point Bioware games (including SWTOR) have hit every sweet spot in what I am looking for. I know without even looking at ...

Game Reviews!?! Worth reading?

             It should be pretty apparent at this point that by and large Mass Media Reviewers/Critics have huge problems. The problems are varied. They are paid to lie, they have a vendetta going into their review, they feel they can drive more traffic to their review if they nitpick the negatives and probably the biggest but least talked about is the reviewer either hates or doesn't understand the genre he is reviewing.                  Big Triple A official or professional reviews cannot be trusted. To often it becomes apparent that the reviewer is basically blowing smoke at us for the sake of keeping friendly with the games publishing company. Sometimes they are just outright paid for fluff pieces (allegedly). If the reviewer is mid to low range in popularity he/she is probably not going to bite the hand that feeds them. EA and other companies have shown thy will blacklist certain reviewers from review c...
