The not buying an XBone/PS4 thread of waiting for all this to blow over - The Bear and Badger

Demos these days cost 40 quid/90 dollars only you cant return them if they have a code.

I hear battlefield 4 is only a demo at the moment.

Kings Heath Brum?

[Deleted User]

I have been playing that today.
It is ok, I will probably switch to Easy mode to see it through, not that it is that hard on Normal anyway.

Yep. I live in lovely Longbridge by the old Rover factory.

Ahh a fellow Brummy? I used to live right in the city and when I was being good used to run around Canon Hill Park. Moseley is also a good night out.

Minkymu

Yep born and bread in Great Barr. My wife does the sat morn Cannon Hill park run. Moseley rocks for eating out. Great Thai and a Jamaican place.

b0r1s

Think we can start a brumstock mate :-)

The Moroccan place is great plus the pub crawl from the Cross to the prince of Wales then end up at the Moseley Dance Centre if you've had too much to drink :-D

Minkymu

Why not. Lets do it!

b0r1s

Right then...

djchump

heh - I used to work at the Prince ;-)

n0face

Moseley dance centers long been closed.

If you want a worked in pubs in Moseley off, I've done O'neills, the fighting cocks, couple of shifts Pat kavs, the bulls head, and a brief stint at the hogs head.

As in an awful difficulty spike or a spike of awfulness?

The last couple of hours of Bioshock Infinite are shite! Let's throw more & more enemies at you. How very novel.

JonB

I nearly gave up on the final battle of Infinite. Probably tried about 5 times, each one more irritating than the last, but thankfully made it in the end. It's a shit finale to the action, especially given the lack of check points, and a pointless barrier to seeing the ending of the narrative.

Vela

Well, I think I've made my decision.

Wii U is obviously staying - I love Nintendo first party, and even if this system winds up with a lifespan like the Dreamcast (worst case scenario) it will still be one worth having played. X, Bayonetta 2, a new Zelda and the possibilities of Galaxy 3 and maybe another Metroid will do lovely.

I won't touch an XBox One. Ive had too many shit experiences with MS products to even entertain the idea of that.

PS4 I will get when the following criteria have been met, and not before:
The Phantom Pain is out. A new Oddworld is confirmed. The UK developed PES turns out good. A new Souls game is released. WipEout. Last Guardian.

Other desirables: Beyond Good and Evil 2, Metronome, and games like Thief/The Order turn out good too.

PS2 BC support via emulator for discs will make it a dead certainty.

I'd like to think that's a plausible list (Metronome aside).

Verecocha

Fanboi.

RamSteelwood

i nearly got a big shove towards a next gen jump when i thought my ps3 was dead, but fortunately a combination of google and the safe mode menus brought it back to life!

bad_hair_day

Those on the fence - just over a month and we'll see what the two Xbone updates bring and how good Titanfall is eh?

Not directed at anyone in particular.

I_R

There's a lot of people here who are never likely to be swayed by an on-line shooter.

As for the updates, I still can't believe MS launched a machine that so obviously needed them. Not working as well as the 360 at a lot of things isn't something they can have wanted spread over social media.

beano

Of course they and Sony and Ninty have launch consoles with missing features. We've just had near on ten years where the culture has been led by bonuses and not quality...we've also had seven years of what was originally released improving. Neither the 360 or the 3 look anything like what they did when they were released.

Maybe, that first Batman game restored some faith, though.

I'll cave for strict exclusives.

I might buy a dreamcast, there are still games getting released for it.

b0r1s

Oh well finally hanging up my Xbox Live Gold membership, after being a member since year one, whenever that was.

The only thing I still play online on my 360 is MW3, if I want a bit of CoD action I'm sure I will be able to pick up Ghosts for PS4 for £20 soon.

It was pretty much a given when I got the PS4 I suppose, now having a Vita, PS3, PS4, Wii U and 3DS I really can't see how I can fit anything else into that.

MS will have to come up with something really special for me to get another machine.

JMW

You can get Ghosts for £30 with one of the £20 PS3 + £10 upgrade code deals atm fyi.

g.man

Ghosts is a complete waste of money at any price.

rancid stuff

JMW

I'm never taking Ghosts online with randoms but it's got the only decent local MP, which now includes all the modes with bots etc., plus a quite decent Extinction and Infected. And as long as you keep your online MP to bots and friends, it runs smooth as anything. The antiBF, if you will.

Howdy, Stranger!
