    I'm interested in it as well. Videos make it look really good but then the actual gameplay footage makes it so-so to me.

    So far BioShock is harder than I thought. Origjnally started on hard till i got to the first big daddy and learned otherwise. I really enjoy the way the maps are designed and how items are placed/hidden. Plasmids are fun, but I'm not fluid with the controls yet.

    Shadow of Mordor can definitely be frustrating at the beginning but once you get on to it , its a pretty cool game , I finished it 100%

    I've got to say that (right now) I'm enjoying The Division. Don't get me wrong I'm still massively disappointed with it because it is nothing like it was supposed to be but that said, there is some replayability there now. The one thing I will give The Division credit for is it's always been about the loot and there is a pretty clear path on how to get that loot as opposed to Destiny. I love the fact that you can reroll gear and make the stats better and add specific functionality to each piece. I've been on a mission this last week to get a 4 piece set of Alpha Bridge gear and finally got the last piece yesterday. I was 172 when I got back into the game and leveled to 256 within a day so leveling is very easy in the game. The one thing that really suffers in the game are the graphics especially on a 4k monitor. The pop in and draw distances are really noticeable and distracting. But all in all it's better than it was at launch.

    Yeah.
    There may be a trick to improve things like with The Last Guardian. If you set the PS4 for 1080p, launch the game, then go back and set it to 4K you may get better performance. That worked with TLG, but I didn't find it too annoying just running it at 4K.

    I'll give it a try but it did this on the regular PS4 also. The Division isn't a 4K game and the draw distances and pop in have been there from the start. I think it has something to do with connecting to their servers and you being in your own instance every time you leave the safehouse.

    I need help lol. I want Barretts chest piece.

    I am enjoying the Alpha Bridge build though. Got all the talents unlocked for both weapons. Now I just need to work on getting my toughness back over 400k. I can get it there easily but I lose some of the talents on my weapons if I do.

    For those that haven't played Uncharted 4 pick it up. It is truly an awesome game. It's worth the price of a PS4 just for this game.

    Id play it but don't see myself buying the game. Just not my style.

    I did beat BioShock 1 last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the play style and the story line. Plasmids weren't as effective as I thought they should be.

    Just finished BioShock 2. Loved it. Better story than the first and the mechanics were much smoother. Probably play through it again after I finish the third one

    Came as a bundle with my PS4, loved it. The storyline is great and graphics are top notch.

    Bioshock is one of my favorite series. I started with the 3rd one, then 1st and 2nd. I still think the 3rd has the best plot. Bioshock and Last of Us makes me wish my PS3 was still working.

    I really liked how the stories of 1/2 actually fit together. The levels felt plenty big but not overwhelming to explore each and every part. I liked playing as delta, gave it a nice spin.

    I'll start 3 tomorrow afternoon. I've heard the plot is way different though.

    The plot and environment are way different, but there are a few nods back the 1st & 2nd. The story is hard to put together until the end, when everything is explained. Tugs at the heart strings a bit too.
