Bought a ps4 last summer, barely played any of the 3 games I bought with it.

Currently playing starcraft 2 a lot, actually.

As a PS3 owner, am I missing anything with the PS4? I got my kids a Switch for their birthday last month, been unimpressed.

Gotta wait for some more games for the switch. Brand new concept, just like how games on the Wii started out slow.

Are you a Zelda fan at all? I know your kids are younger but Breath of the Wild is absolutely incredible. Granted, its really hard to screw up a Zelda game but Nintendo did wonders with the new one.

The Golf Club.

Repaired Dead Red Redemption over the winter, that was nice.

[GB Warrior]

Horizon Zero Dawn. Immersive gameplay, but gorgeous to look at too

You're right about the lack of games, that probably is an issue for me.

[#UnleashSean]

Counter Strike, League of legends, Overwatch. Sports games on the ps4.

The switch is currently a $400 Zelda console.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Replaying Fallout 4 at the moment. Gotta save money for the wedding so not buying any new games for another month. Will be buying Mass Effect Andromeda.

[wadesworld]

NBA 2K17 and The Show 17 but don't play much at all anymore.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I'm cheap, so I only buy used sports games from places like Gamestop.

Rollin' in FIFA 16, Madden 25, CBB 2K8, MLB 2K13.  some NFS games with the kids.

might buy the new COD when that comes out, I like the WWII first person shooters.

No ps4? Only reason you'd be rolling in that trash 2k baseball. College hoops is the best though.

[GoldenDieners32]

I want EA to bring back college basketball so bad

[Skitch]

Bought a ps4 on Black Friday and it served me well over the winter.  Mostly playing NBA 2k17 (Orange Juice!!!) and Madden 17.  Thinking about picking up The Show.

Also got the last edition of the NASCAR game for cheap and it turned out to be a lot of fun.  Good use of $17

[GoldenDieners32]

If they brought back college basketball i would not stop playing it

The show is by far and away the best sports simulation. Only reason I bought a ps4 over xbox.

I want the Switch for Mario Kart... thats all.  Just KART.

I play the Overwatch... also I've been playing some PUBG the last week... really like it.

[Plaque Lives Matter!]

Battlefield one is GREAT. otherwise I'd advise replaying GTA V. Might be a stretch but if you are truly looking for a mind numbing series to blow off steam with, all of the Lego games are absolutely top notch for that. Lord of the rings and star wars versions especially.

[Stronghold]

Mass Effect Andromeda

[tower912]

None.   

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Mass Effect Andromeda

How is it? Loved the original trio (minus the ending). Holding off on buying this one til I have some more expendable funds.

[B. McBannerson]

Mass Effect Andromeda

[Warriors, Come Out and Playeeyay]

All over the map in the limited time that I have.

College Hoops 2K7 (usually in March/April)
Fallout 4 -  time permitting
NES Classic (300 game version) - realizing that most of these games are crap from my childhood rather than nostalgia.

Just picked up Last of Us Remastered but haven't gotten into it yet.  May pick up the Nascar game if I can find it as cheap as Skitch.

[T-Bone]

NCAA Basketball 10 (ditto to everyone wishing for a new version - thanks O'Bannon)
MLB The Show 12

PS3 - haven't bought anything new in ages. 

[mu03eng]

Mostly Battlefield One and Battlefront.

[Benny B]

MAME - DK, DKJr., NBA Jam, Track and Field, Hyper Sports and Mr. Do, mostly.
Wii U - Mario Kart 8, Wii Sports (with the kids)
CoinOp - SuperChexx


Still on the lookout for Addams Family Pinball and a PCB Kit for Pac Man Battle Royale (Deluxe Edition)

[GB Warrior]

+1000. I'm kind of glad that I'm not a big enough MLB fanatic to have a need to buy the new game every year, because the entire game is that deep. You can migrate franchises between years, which is an awesome feature for those that do. It has all of the realism and depth that Madden should have if it stopped catering to gimmick-mode fans at the expense of franchise mode. That being said, I will shell out $48 (thanks, Amazon Prime) every single f**king year

[Jay Bee]

Only play sports games...

The Show 17 gets major play

Have an Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360... but have only been messing with PS4 in the past year (Madden, 2K, NHL)

I'll school you turds in NHL 17 online. Lessss goooo

Gotta love Reddit for compiling sales across the internet.

XBOX
https://www.reddit.com/r/GreatXboxDeals/

PS4
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4Deals/

I am an XBOX player, and I am cheep so I purchase games digitally 6-12 months after they are released. I can get the games further discounted, and sometimes Free, by redeeming Microsoft Rewards if the sale is good

https://account.microsoft.com/account/ManageMyAccount?refd=www.bing.com&destrt=rewards-dashboard

basically it forces you to use BING as a search engine, but every 3-4 months I earn enough points for a $10 gift card to use for a new game. all this is passive point earning too which is nice.

Finished up Rise of the Tomb Raider recently, it was a fun. ME: Andromeda is on sale this week, may pick it up

[#UnleashSean]

good old bing. Pretending its used for anything but porn.

Is NHL good again? It was disappointing the first couple years on next gen, but was the pinnacle of X360/PS3.

It's no NHLPA '93 we played in the dorms, but YUS! Excellent game

So many of you must be familiar with this:

Sessions became associated with the phrase "Winners Don't Use Drugs", which appeared on idle North American-released arcade game screens during demos or after a player finished playing a game. By law it had to be included on all imported arcade games released in North America and continued to appear long after Sessions left office. The quote normally appeared in gold against a blue background between the FBI seal and Sessions' name.

Picked up Metal Gear Solid V on Amazon for something like $15 a few months ago. That's great. Otherwise my Xbox is used for Call of Duty, NHL and Netflix. For those not interested in buying full priced EA titles, there's a service called "EA Access" for Xbox. It's something like $30 for the year and you can download most 1 year-old sports titles and play the full version for as long as you're subscribed to the plan. You also get 10 hours of play for most current-year EA games. "Xbox Game Pass" was announced recently and it's supposed to be the Netflix for video games - $10 a month for a ~100 game library you can download from. Full downloads-no streaming-so the quality is supposed to be better.

Otherwise I've been mashing Zelda on my switch. I've never been a Zelda fan and typically get Nintendo consoles only for Mario, Mario Kart, etc. but this game is fantastic. I'm finding myself playing my Switch in handheld mode more than I thought I would--I almost exclusively play Zelda in handheld while watching a game on TV. I do throw the Switch into the dock for TV mode for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe though. That looks great too.
