I just bought a PS4 on prime day, the Uncharted 4 combo. Loved the series on PS3. I like games that have a story with them and great graphics(Alan Wake, uncharted, etc.). I heard about some game called Firewatch or something.

Firewatch is a pass. Barely 4 hours, walking simulator, ending is literally nothing happens. Watch it on YouTube and save yourself a few bucks.

Great story-based games:
Nier: Automata
Yakuza 0
TLOU
Horizon Zero Dawn

Thanks, sucks these things always seem to start with hype then disappoint. Like No Man's Sky.

Bought a ps4 even though I have an xbone because of this game. No other baseball game should ever be made.

It is ok. Heard someone explain it best by saying as soon as you get excited and into it it becomes anticlimactic and closes.

So, I'm guessing you are happy with your decision? I'm was in the same position as you and thinking about pulling the trigger

Yeah definitely. I play games way too much and both systems have good things going for them. The show is probably the best sports game out there in terms of being realistic.

What I always heard about firewatch: really good story but they botched it at the end.

That's the thing, though. It's not even a really good story.

There's a basic set-up that invites you to imagine there's something very deep lurking in the narrative. Your imagination runs a little wild because the game is visually interesting. There are hints of something below the surface. And none of it ever materializes.

You end up realizing you spent 4 hours walking around the woods and never got any kind of story, let alone a story arc. All the story you get is right at the beginning explaining why your character went into the woods to be a firewatch guy. It's like if you only got the cutscene at the very beginning of The Witcher 3 with Yen running through that battle with Geralt and Vesemir looking for her, then you walk around Kaer Morhen for a bit and the game ends.

I almost got the xbox prime special too, it was actually a better deal, like 220 for 2 controllers plus 3 games, forza, halo and something else.

That's not a bad deal at all, especially since xbox controllers are way better than the terrible ps4 ones. I don't really play forza but halo multiplayer was awesome. I'm sure the daily active users has diminished but that franchise will always have a sizable amount of people that continue to play.

You want just exclusives or all games?

Exclusives besides uncharted are The Last of Us, Horizon, Rachet and Clank, Until Dawn.

Coming next year God of War, Spiderman, Days Gone, and Detroit.

What about jrpgs with artistic graphics?
