Hopefully that's accurate, need to get another XBOne and keep getting told GoW is a must play - and won't hurt to have FO4 on both systems, I'm sure I'll play it more than once.

Still miffed I had to send back the XBone with with broken TV from the deal a few months ago.

I think buying FO4 on a console would be a mistake given how popular the last game was with modding.

Not a fan of mods personally. And regardless they've stated PS4 and XBOne are getting mods too this time

30 fps is more of a deterrent for me than lack of mods.

I'm pretty weary on how fast either console will be getting mod support. They've said no mods till after the new year and only PC at first.

Mods on console sounds like a disaster and also sounds like they want to take another swing at charging for them.

Pass.

I'll torrent it on PC on my second or third playthrough and have no regrets after buying it on PS4. I'm not a huge mod person but there are always a couple of mods at least that are really great. I just enjoy playing on my PS4 more. When I went back and played skyrim and new vegas a couple of months ago on PC my bluetooth controller kept dropping and occasionally getting stuck in one direction for a few seconds. Sure it fixed itself but the couple of times that killed me really pissed me off. Little shit things like that plus having more crashes on PC drives me more nuts that it used to. Not like it's a big deal, it isn't, just grinds my gears more now. I don't remember the last time my PS4 crashed in a game. I think it has happened once in 2 years I've had it.

Pretty sure what they said was no GECK until next year, which would be just like Skyrim's timeframe (game on 11/11/11, Creation Kit was released in 02/12). That doesn't mean no mods, it just means you can't make mods that require scripting. Still plenty of shit you can do with a tool like FO4Edit, which should be a fairly simple port over from TES5Edit. Not to mention you can replace textures, meshes, UI shit, etc. without any tools at all. Only thing that requires is ArchiveInvalidation.

PC should be plenty moddable, but whether or not you'll be able to get any of those mods to a console prior to February is another question entirely. No idea how they intend to handle that. Texture and mesh mods with loose files are almost certainly out of the question. BSAs, maybe, but I doubt consoles have much breathing room when it comes to increasing either the poly count or texture size at all, so they may not even support that at all.

The borderlands is fucking fantastic. In fact it's easily my top telltale and I'm not at all a fan of Borderlands.

GOT is decent and wolf is amazing too.

Back to the Future: the Game is on PS4 now and is pretty good too. The story is already decided but it's still a fun experience and all 5 episodes were 5 bucks like a month ago on PS3.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed TWAU on the iPad. Can't wait to try the Borderlands one of my PS4.

Kedwyn · Oct 22, 2015

I can't get into those point and click story games. There is like no gameplay whatsoever. Living dead I think it was did that as well as borderlands and I'm sure others. I just don't get the appeal.

spronk · Oct 22, 2015

its like a tv show but you get to click stuff

Crone · Oct 22, 2015

Has ps4 ever mentioned anything about allowing screen shots to be dumped to an image hosting site? I feel that'd be very convenient instead of having to shuffle a thumb drive around.

Think of it as a 7 hour interactive movie for based on IP you already enjoy.
I have only done the game of thrones one (I did buy others when on sale) and it scratched my itch for more GOT content this summer.

They are not really "games"

Can't you dump them to twitter or facebook? Don't use either of them, but I'm pretty sure I saw that option in the Share section last time I took a screenshot. I kind of doubt you'll ever see them support Dropbox or Google Drive or Imgur or whatever.

Kedwyn · Oct 25, 2015

So we are coming up to the meaty part of the year where we get a plethora of games coming out for the holiday season.

What is everyone looking forward to?

Me? Fallout for sure is the biggest on my list. The new Uncharted as well which will be coming out a little later. Little bummed that hitman is going for some bastardized slow release so i'm waiting to see what they exactly looks like prior to buying.

spronk · Oct 25, 2015

uncharted collection (playing now, really fun!)
halo 5 (tuesday)
assassins creed syndicate (playing now, its really solid and good if you like AC games)
fallout 4
star wars battlefront (has deep flaws but fun MP)
just cause 3 (dec)
call of duty black ops 3 (beta was boring tho)
?? no mans sky ??

games i'll be skipping
rainbow six (beta sucked balls)
tomb raider (great game, no time to play and its xbone exclusive for 6 months)
whatever wii u games are coming out (star fox and xenoblade?)
starcraft 2: legacy of the void (no time to play, dont really care either tbh)

early next year on the plate are mirrors edge 2, deus ex, hitman.
