Nice. I can understand the being busy part. Now that I am back in school my desire for a ps4 has gone down a bit. Plus I have been spending more time on my ps3. Actually playing it more than my xbox one at this point.

I bought TLOU in November and still haven't gotten to it. I am tempted to wait for my projector to be set back up.
 
I'm currently playing beyond two souls on ps3. Haven't played anything like that since heavy rain. I'm kind of liking it.

I think Doppel's probably pushing along the edge of the analog sticks... and Grip-iT analog stick covers might fix his usage issue, since his thumbs would catch a little ridge they have on them, instead of slipping off and over the top...

These came in. At first these finger condoms seemed like they'd be a waste of money, but playing some borderlands and resogun I can tell for sure my grip is much better. There is less time spent re positioning my thumbs. Thanks again!

I wish I liked that game as much as everyone else did, but I just didn't care for the combat at all.

I think also the hype train for TLOU went so fast it was very difficult for it to meet most people's expectations. I liked the game a lot, no doubt, but it didn't change my life and want me to jump off a bridge in despair that it was over like some people seemed to have experienced.
 
So anyone happen to come across the rumor that the PS4 may be getting PS1 AND PS2 emulation in a future update? If it proves to be true, I would immensely enjoy such a feature, having a backlog of RPGs to go through still.

I saw it popping up on a few sites. Five will get you ten it will be online only like it was done on the post-fat PS3s.

I saw it but can't find a reason to care. I've long given up on those system's and their games.

No not going to happen. They are rolling out Playstation Now which will be subscription based. They wouldn't want to give you that way to play them when they'll have you subscribe to Playstation Now for a fee every month possibly.

The rumor states that Playstation Now will be used for PS3 games, whereas PS1/PS2 games could be emulated. That makes some kind of sense given the relative power of the hardware involved. No idea if it's true though.

PS1/PS2 games heading to PlayStation 4
 
Yeah I signed up and they ask for a zip code. I guess they start in one area and move on. They seem to also be starting with ps3 not ps4.
 
wonder if I can sell my ps4 at the price I got it for... damn system was just another hype machine with no content 🙁

it took me a while to get into the last of us, like 1/3rd of the game was tutorial, 2/3 was actual content

What difficulty were you playing on? Were you sneaking around or just try and take everyone out? A lot of it had some exploring and scavanging if you played on hard although even so you ended up well off on that difficulty.

As for the ps4, it's been out 2 months there won't be any mind blowing games until next year. It's common when consoles launch. Thief is coming out next month and then infamous. But nothing too good for a while.

I got one because I would have bought one later anyway. If you want you can still sell it for a decent amount as long as you act fast.

It's a brand new console. What did you honestly expect? Xbox One is not any better.

Exactly. We knew what games were coming for half a year. We knew which games would be delayed about a month prior to release. There were no surprises. I have said it before, it is your fault you bought it if you have regrets now. There is plenty to play if you keep an open mind. Most of the games are online oriented though I will admit.
 
I was actually kind of sad when I returned my xbox one. I had a blast playing Ryse, and Forza 5. But since I settled on the PS4, I returned the Xbone. I don't like FPS's on controllers, (I bought KZ for the PS3, and played about 10 minutes, and haven't touched it for like 2 years -- since it came out) I only have NBA 2K14. And that got old real quick, too complex for me.

Yeah, buyer regrets.. where do people sell their PS4 for decent price? Ebay? Damn ebay and Paypal fees will equate to 15% off the final sale price...

I did do a lot of exploring and scavenging, and that was kind of interesting. I played it on easy difficulty. I play all my games on easy difficulty. I don't like challenging AI's, especially when I just wanna get through the story -- which was the main draw for me.

You can post ads in craigslist too. 2k14 is easy. There are two types of moves you can do usually on defense you hold L2 or push the right stick in the direction of who you are guarding.

On offense you can set picks using square or go around and be open and get the ball, getting layups up close is easy normally. For other shots you hold square to shoot and when the circle underneath you lights up, release.

Craigslist. As for your expectations, lower them. The consoles just came out...
 
I can't get myself to go back to my PS3. AC4 has me hooked. I'm probably going to grab Tomb Raider this weekend since I didn't get it for the old generation consoles. Heard it was worth grabbing if you didn't play it yet, which I haven't.
