    I dug through that box to find it was just a pink bunny suit.

    Yeah I've read some stuff that said a HUGE issue with Ghosts was guys were getting killed before bullets had even hit them. That's really lame that they let people keep their prestige.

    I'd put the 360 at a 5, PS3 at a 7.

    PS4 would be 10+. And I haven't even played a true "next gen" game yet.

    Ghosts is getting traded in. I'll take $0.50 for it and be happy.

    Worst shooter ever. Made for the worst type of players ever. And if you're not on FIOS or something like it, or playing in a big city, forget it. I'm dying in 0.2 nanoseconds to people who aren't even on my screen yet. Game's tailor made for camping your ass off though. :frustrated:

    Can't wait for Destiny.

    I'm so in love with Mario 3d World that I'm absolutely giddy. It's the game I've always dreamed of and then to make matters even better I can just turn off Mario and turn on my 3ds and then play Zelda! Wow I'm such a fortunate guy! It is a GREAT time to be a dork!!!

    AC:BF made the PS4 worth it alone.

    Ghosts is good, just has a ton of issues for multi-player.

    BF4 is awesome. I suck (noob), but it's pretty good.

    But this summer will be when things start to shine. (Destiny, Witcher 3, Watchdogs, possibly others)

    Any decent games out for the PS4 that aren't shooters? I managed to snag my nephew a PS4 last night. He's 18 so he's certainly old enough for a shooter, he just has no interest in them. I got the Lego Marvel which he really wanted, but just having one game for a system might get boring. I thought about picking up Knack, but supposedly the story mode on that game is damn near impossible.
    The fact that there's a ton of shooters is why I have drastically cut down on my gaming. The only games I play now are football and wrestling. And I can't stand to be online. I let my XBL account expire about a year ago and honestly don't even miss it. I've never even gamed online with my PS3.

    Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is amazing. Even if he never played Assassin's Creed before. Just as a pirate game, it's addictive and fun.

    NBA 2K14 is being billed as the best sports game ever made (it looks it). If he likes basketball, it's probably a must have.

    There's a Need for Speed game out that some of my friends really like. I don't care too much for racing games, but he might like it.

    If he likes fighting games, Injustice is really, really good. It came out originally for the last generation, but there's a beefed up "Ultimate Edition" out for the PS4.

    And the Batman Arkham Origins game is getting praise. Can't vouch for it, but the past ones were good. (I think it's available for PS4. Not sure.)

    Of course, if he has a PSN+ subscription, there's free games available for DL every month. This month, there's a game called Resogun that's pretty fun (if not amazing graphically)

    Short of that, the better "next gen" games all start releasing this spring.

    Witcher is something I really need to get in to because I'm such a die hard Dark Souls fan and Witcher is supposedly the only thing that can match the fun of it. A lot of Souls players will also play Witcher 2 but it's difficulty apparently lies more in mastering the customization than the actual gameplay. That game is so big in its native country that when Obama visited there they gave him a copy of it!!! LOL! That's not a joke!

    Yeah. Witcher 2 got a lot of praise. But I never got it for the PC. It's based on a series of books. They're on my eventual list for reading.

    But at E3, I saw this trailer, and I was sold:

    Another trailer showing some of the game graphics:

    Speaking of awesome graphics. This game is a true next gen game. No release date yet, but it's high on my list. Note that the trailer is made IN GAME. These are no CGI cutscenes, but the actual graphic engine.

    Pretty impressive. Not sure I follow how this is in game though. It doesn't look like gameplay scenes.

    That's what's so impressive. It LOOKS like a CG scene. But they're using the game engine. Obviously, they're not showing you the player's perspective. They cut it to tell a story.

    But when you play the game, it's going to look exactly like that.
