What are the good things about your ps4 what made you buy the PS4?

Kenjataimu · 16-01-2015 5:15pm

Pros: that my friends have it and I prefer the exclusives....

Taltos · 16-01-2015 5:31pm

I don't have any friends

Exclusives, eg Uncharted. Promise of more Dark Souls - see Bloodborne. Febs a good month for the PS4.
PS+

At the end of the day it's going to be personal to you.

Mostly the exclusives and PS+. As well as that, I much preferred my PS3 over my 360, and pre-launch the PS4 just seemed like the better console. None of the exclusive features of the XB1 really appealed to me, in fact some put me off the console, plus it was €100 dearer.

Retr0gamer · 16-01-2015 5:39pm

All I can say about it is it has potential because I can't really say anything good about it at the moment. It's currently gathering dust at my parents place and even when I'm there I find something better to play. Roll on Bloodbourne.

Argos are usually the best for ps4 offers, over the last few weeks they've had multiple deals for €329 and €349. Keep an eye on them over the next few days, particularly tomorrow as they're launching the new catalogue so may have a good offer on it

Use this to check stock of them in your area: http://www.checkargos.com

Taltos · 16-01-2015 5:47pm

Look at special offer 4 or 5 in Argos.
They had some great deals on the run up to Christmas but even so...

Wolfenstein is also a brilliant game.

Just lookin at this one seems good value

Taltos · 16-01-2015 5:50pm

Brilliant - great game.
If you haven't played the PS3 version you are in for a real treat...

Darkened room - headphones or surround sound...

I like how they all loaded slowly one by one then it skipped limerick cresant then at the very end bam out of stock! lol good thing you linked that or i would a had a nice drive for nothing into limerick lol

ahnowbrowncow · 16-01-2015 6:01pm

Price was the main reason I got my ps4 because I hadn't intended on buying one, effectively got it for 305e after I traded in Cod.

Being able to change HDD, have 2tb in it now.

Bloodborne

Bigger community, there's nearly 2.5 times more people playing bf4 on the ps4 atm than on the Xbox one. Online games will live longer and easier to find server of your liking

I like the record button, not sure if the Xbox one has something similar but being to save your last 15 minutes gameplay at the touch of a button is very handy.

I bought it cos it was ridiculously cheap in Argos at the time with 3 games. I wasn't planning on getting one until Metal gear and Uncharted 4 came out. I love it though.

Same here. €399 for the console with The Last of Us remastered, Far Cry 4 and GTA V was too good to pass up.

Yeah it was, I kept GTA and sold the other two so ended up with the console and GTA for €310. Bargain and a half.

I was going to sell Far Cry 4 but it's actually a decent game. The Last of Us was one of the best games I've played in years.

Yeah only reason I sold them was I have Far Cry on the PC and I played TLOU on PS3.

Part of my problem is I've a monster PC that can play these games better and they are cheaper. I'm waiting for the exclusives!

Also really did not like Shadows of Mordor. I don't like the combat in the arkham games and it's just that combat and not the other stuff I like in the batman games so it's a no there for me.

Ah but it's not as tight and thus as punishing or boring as combat in the Gotham games...

Besides that ego, there's still The Last of Us. Uncharted is incoming as are some more. As you've a Pc you probably already have Diablo3 but it's great fun, a nice diversion for a few days.

Well I played Last of Us on my PS3 already, although I'm on the look out for a PS4 version for cheap since my friend sold my copy with his PS3 before I could try the DLC.

You can get it for <€20 on gamedealdaily but it's out of stock ATM I think.

That is some deal alright.

Got it for €379 with LBP in the end. Sold LBP for €38 so I was happy with €341 for the console.

I mainly bought it for Dragon Age Inquisition. Managed to pick up the deluxe edition on donedeal for €43. Considered it on PS3 but the reviews were terrible. So I sold my PS3. I miss the customisation options the PS3 had though, little things like using your own photos for wallpaper and having music stored on it. Hopefully they'll add that stuff down the line.

And for GTAV too. New music, first person view, graphics, returning player bonus and some online missions with my brother made me fork out for it again.

Almost bought an X-Box One because going by reviews there wasn't really much of a difference but realised that Sky Go wasn't being released for it. That swung it for me and picked up a PS4 instead.

Fairly happy with my choice so far!

Nice, didn't know that. Any word on when it'll be released?
