I think I'd give the Xbox one a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. Don't know how anyone complain about it not having great games, I've already played a ton of them on it.

Yeah, PS4 is 1080p or something like that, while a day 1 patch for the XOne bumps it up to 900p, so PS4 will be better.McFly1955;1604922 wrote:Yes sir, I'm planning on getting it. I have Infamous being delivered tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'll get Trials immediately or not, but for sure within the next month or two (I have a 3rd baby due in late May, so I'm getting in as much gaming as possible lately, which I still can).
With all of the trials games I generally play the crap out of them for 1-2 months, then I get sick of it and never go back...I look forward to doing the same with this one.
Undecided on PS4 or Xbox One at this point...I think I read that the PS4 version is supposed to be better, so if that holds true I'll probably go with PS4. On the other hand, I have a $50 credit on Xbox due to a refund from Battlefield premium, so we'll see.

New DLC (2nd round of free DLC) for Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.
This is still my favorite game at the moment....It's hard for me to put it down to play something else because I'm addicted to leveling up and buying the "card packs".
On sale for $29.99 this week at Amazon and Best Buy I believe...Great game.

Yeah, I have Titanfall.
It's awesome, don't get me wrong, and I'll be playing for quite a while. But when I finally settle down to play some games for an hour or two late at night, I just keep playing PvZ instead of Titanfall.
Part of it is that I know Titanfall will have a following for awhile while PvZ has a great community now, but it is the kind of game that can dwindle down rapidly (hopefully not).
One of my all time favorite games is Team Fortress 2...I never played on PC, but was playing on the inferior Xbox 360 version that was packaged in the Orange Box. PvZ is very much like Team Fortress and it's a ton of fun.
I still play Titanfall once or twice a week, but I've been playing PvZ almost nightly lately.
here's a thread on neogaf about the DLC -- you'll see several people are saying the same thing as me about this game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=802338
No chance in hell I was buying this game months ago, and now it's one of my favorites.

I've just never been a PC gamer...Every 6 months or so I start researching, then I forget about it...Then I do it again. I grew up on consoles only (I did play stuff like King's Quest/Leisure Suit Larry back in the day).
I need to look into it and just do it...I have a pretty decent computer now, and I'm guessing the requirements for TF2 aren't that bad....I could probably pull it off with possibly just a graphic card upgrade....I don't know a lot about gaming PC parts.

Also, if you have a relatively new computer, you could probably get away with a sub $100 video card and play many many games decently.
Pretty sure you can use a 360 controller on TF2 too, so you wouldn't have to mess with a keyboard/mouse if you weren't comfortable with it. I play NBA on PC with a 360 controller.

Leisure Suit Larry. Now that is a classic game. kids these days don't know what they are missing. I remember playing the original Need 4 Speed where one of the coolest things you could do was use your turn sign and wiper blades when it was raining!McFly1955;1605275 wrote:Yeah, I know I am.

A couple hours into Infamous...liking it so far.
Still playing PvZ garden warfare a few nights a week...They redid the scoring in the latest patch, which is good because it is making unlocking characters/weapons happen a bit faster.
Going to download trials this week...I gave the demo a try on the PS4. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it for PS4 or XB1 at this point. As I'm playing Infamous I'm noticing how 'tight' the sticks on the PS4 controller are, and coming from being a primary Xbox 360 person, I might like the XB1 controller more for a game like Trials where precision is important.

My stance on Trials Fusion:
1. Still the same ass-kickin' fun.
2. The annoying thing: it's $19.99 for a bit less in-game content than Evolution gave for $15. And you can then buy a $19.99 season pass to get six DLC packs over the next year. I mean, with all the fan-made tracks, the content is worth the price; it's just not the bargain that Evolution was where for $25 (the $15 plus the two $5 DLC packs), I got a good few dozen hours of insane addiction out of it.
3. The motocross tricks and ATV courses are fun additions. Nothing revolutionary, but a nice additional touch to keep everything from feeling the same.
4. Same with the addition of special (often well-hidden) challenges. Some involve you doing various riding tricks (entire course without leaning; completing a certain number of mid-air flips), while others have you finding hidden skill games and completing them, such as first-person mazes or a game of tennis and others give you access to challenging warp zone areas that tend to be pretty tough. Like a hard/extreme difficulty area that's hidden in an easy/medium zone.
I've done most of the tracks up to where you need 110 medals to unlock the final hard track, which if you complete unlocks the expert courses. Need five more medals and have two tracks I haven't completed yet in the hard area. So it's basically do a couple tracks and then improve a couple medals. Mainly gold all the way up to the second group of mediums with the exception of one first-group medium track and a couple skill games, in particular one where you have to perform chosen motocross tricks before hitting the ground, since I only know how to perform a couple off memory and just ride those to my motocross track medals. So when it says "PROUD HERO", I'm like "WTF?!?!?" and just twist the right analog stick like crazy hoping to luck into it. Which never happens.

I grabbed Trials Fusion...I went with the XB1 version since I had $50+ in credits on there from the Battlefield Premium refund, so I figured I might as well use it one something.
I'm through the first area and partially through the 2nd...Easy going at this point, getting gold on everything on the first couple tries and leading most of the tracks compared to the 4-5 other people on my friends list that has the game.
GT is mcfly1955 if anyone wants to add me on there.

How'd you get a BF4 premium refund?

I bugged them about it like 3 times in December when I saw a ton of people on Reddit saying they were successfully getting refunds....No go at that time, everyone kept referring me to EA.bases_loaded;1609992 wrote:How'd you get a BF4 premium refund?
Then in late March there was some delay with the DLC and servers were still having problems, and I've honestly not played any BF4 for a few months...I saw again that people were getting refunds and I tried and got the refund no questions asked. I'm guessing I still have the Premium content even though I got the refund, but I've not tried yet, been too busy with other games.
It was a thread like this that tipped me off:

I've heard the new servers have improved the rubber banding overall, but not eliminated it. It's a shame it has taken, what, 5-6 months to try to get this game up to par. It's such an awesome game, when it works.

One of my friends called ps4 support to get a refund for premium, and the support guy said because they have received so many complaints they now just ask for your psnid and refund. After getting a refund they will disable the premium content.

not sure if that is still the case....
