Gamemoir's Paul gives his top four games that would convince him to buy a new console.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
from paulsemel.com: In this exclusive Q&A, the author of the new technothriller based on "Tom Clancy's: The Division" discusses how it ties to the games while also bringing its own story to a close.
64 player Battlefield 4 was worth it alone for the new consoles.
Forza 5 is definitely worth upgrading for if you are a racing fan. Other than that, there are really no must have next gen games that aren't available on other platforms.
Second Son, Killzone and Ryse are all visually awesome, but I would have trouble telling someone to update just to play them.
There are some next gen exclusives I love, such as Killer Instinct, Resogun, Powerstar Golf, Kinect Sports Rivals but I don't think they are system sellers.
Most of the best games currently available for next gen are on multiple systems. Tombraider, Child of Light, Rayman, Titanfall, Max Curse of Brotherhood etc.
That being said, I haven't turned on my 360 or PS3 since I upgraded so there is plenty to do. X1 UI/UX is especially very cool. And the games will come eventually!
The visual upgrade to 8th gen is not that great yet...I mean I noticed it right away when jumping to ps2 from ps one and ps3 from 2.With Gen 8 we actually have to do side by side comparisons with gen 7 just to locate the difference in graphic fidelity
I am finding it hard to justify my PS4 purchase right now. I have only had it for just over a month.
I bought it for NBA 2014 and play that quite a bit. But I hardly play infamous Second Son. I also this week got Tomb Raider on the cheap and Killzone at a bargain basement £12!
Problem is I played Tomb Raider to death on my 360. Finished it 100%. Not that bothered now.
The biggest problem I have is that my PS4 does not recognise my HDMI Splitter which means I have to unplug all of my other consoles from my tv just to play it. As a result when I have a minute to play games I go for the quick option of my WiiU and or my 3DS.
I am playing Etrian Odyssey Untold on my 3DS this week. PS4 is starting to gather dust. Trust me that is unheard of in my household.
