The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Fiance got me a PS4 for Christmas. Just got around to setting it up last weekend because we were using the room as storage after the hurricane. I honestly haven't bought a current video game system in like 10 years. The newest system I've owned in recent years has been a PS2. So far I have Madden 17 (5 bucks), Call of Duty WWII, which came with the system. LEGO: Star Wars, gift. Plan on buying MLB: The Show '17 this weekend. My rule with sports games back when I kept up with it was buying the year old version. Other than roster changes, and a few bells and whistles, you can basically the same game for a fraction of the price. Any other game suggestions?

TakeYouToTasker Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 FIFA is the best sports game on the planet. Playing it for a few years has brought me a deeper understanding of the game, and has turned me into a true fan of the sport. Other titles I'd suggest are Fallout 4, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and Grand Theft Auto V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Any suggestions on racing games? Something relatively simple, where the focus is more on racing than car building? It's weird, I'm the farthest thing from a car guy, but I love playing car racing games. I used to have a Hotwheels Turbo Racing game for PS1 which was actually a lot of fun. Just pick your car, and race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not played the latest Mass Effect game yet but I'd recommend the whole series. Because I'm a big kid at heart, Crash Bandicoot as well.

My S.O. also got me PS4 for Xmas, with the COD game! Just a couple of days ago, I watched some "top 20" videos of best PS4 games to date on youtube, also looking for good game suggestions. There are a bunch of these videos. You might want to watch a few and see which games speak to you. A few that jumped out at me are: Unchartered 4, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, The Last of Us, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Nioh, FarCry5, and Journey. Check out Journey in particular! Not sure if this is your thing, but a lot of reviews suggest it is straight up one of the best video games ever made, by anyone, for any system.

It’s an amazing experience for a video game. Every non playable character has schedules . Shops open around 9-10 am and close around 9-10 pm you break the law (stealing, assault, murder etc) and get caught you go to jail you can make a thief like stealth character, or a heavy armor brawler or a mage or whatever or however you wanna play there is a storyline but it’s totally open world and you can do anything at anytime and all your choices have consequences It’s awesome. The expansions to Skyrim are top notch as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Take this crap to the Consumer Reviews board!!!! Fallout 3 (all time best) Call of Duty WW2 is excellent. Black Ops was great New game out there called Stadium Builder...you get $2 billion American funds and can build a stadium on the American side or Canadian side ($2.7 billion Canadian funds) and you can build a stadium in Hamilton Ontario.

I played that about a year ago on a cheap Sega I found. Default teams are Buffalo and Dallas (since they were the last two teams in the Super Bowl). I was never able to win, despite having what should be the 2nd best team in the game. One day I start the system up, and accidentally pick the Cowboys. No big deal. The game is so old, I'm sure there's almost no difference. Then I realize what I'm doing wrong. Jim Kelly comes out, and plays No huddle football the whole game. I didn't think the AI would have been that advanced at that point to play a team's specific style like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
