GamerFitNation's intern Fidan Mustafayeva writes about the newest Sony video game console the PlayStation 4. In this article she discusses the hardware and ultimately tries to make a decision if it is truly worth getting? "The PS4 has officially been announced this past week as Sony’s next generation console. From the announcement the system looks like it is full of new and exciting features such as 8GB of unified memory (the PS3 only had about half a GB split between its video and system ram) and x86 architecture which makes the PS4 very much like a PC. The system’s graphics look better than ever; they are all finely detailed and textured."
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?
For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.
I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.
In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one
Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.
I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.
I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.
Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.
Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.
I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.
Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
Attempting to make a decision based on an initial unveiling is very premature, especially with no price and (probably) most of the launch titles not revealed. Why try and decide when not all of the information is present?
The PS4 reveal left me (and most of the gaming community) intrigued but until I have all the info there's no point in making a decision just yet, unless you were really impressed by the five or so games they showed and money is not an issue.
Like any system... not till there's a price drop
Ah the inevitable question every time a console comes out- is it worth it because its basically a PC/PC's can do more etc.
History has proven that consoles more than hold their own. Many may scoff at the ageing specs of the old consoles now, but even to this day, consoles offer what PC's do not and that is:
* Ease of use- you put in the CD and play- no installs or worrying about hardware requirements
* System parity as far as specs go- you won't be prejudiced because someone has a powerful system than you
* GAMES- the simple fact of the matter is, there are exclusive games that consoles offer and that PCs do not have (and vice versa).
We do not know what the price of the PS4 is but yes, now, consoles will be even more worth it than they were traditionally by virtue of their new features and functions and the manner in which they execute them.
TLDR: Consoles are here to stay and for good reason.
YES, Yes it is!
it's worth it if you're gonna use it.
