So, hmmm. You know exactly my thoughts on the Wii U library, thus I have to looks elsewhere. Recently bought many retro games like DQIV-V-VI, Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, but I also want new games.

I've been interested for the first time in another console not made by Nintendo (it's your fault Nintendo). PS4 seems like the one I could choose. These are the games I'm interested, released or coming in the future:

 

Witcher 3

DarkSouls II

Bloodborne

DarkSouls III

Mass Effect 4

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Final Fantasy X-X2 HD

Final Fantasy XV

Dragon Quest Xi

 

Is it worth? Are there other games I should look for? Not that I'm going to buy now, but maybe at the end of the year if a price cut happens.

If you don't have a sony console yet, I advise you to test the waters with the ps3. You can get the mass effect trilogy, dark souls, final fantasy, skyrim and more to try on ps3.

As for the ps4, the only games on your list that might have a bundle are Final Fantasy XV and mass effect. The rest either came out or won't be that big to justify a bundle.

If you don't want to wait long, the taken king destiny bundle (rpg/shooter) is coming which includes around $80 of dlc along with destiny for free. Or wait for Black friday (I am confident that they may release a bo3 bundle at a sub $400 price, since they did so for the last of us)

I got a ps4 some weeks ago (was only wii u owner before).

Pretty much same reasons.

I got a bit dissapointed, no ps4 game yet was as good as splatoon/Mario Kart8/WindwakerHD on wii u.

Not even Witcher 3? Or Bloodborne?



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Forgot to mention that Star Wars Battlefront looks nice.

In my opinion not.

Dont get me wrong, both are great games. I played only a bit bloodborne though (borrowed from a friend for a weekend) and didnt finished it. 

 

Witcher 3 was cool but to be honest, i played way more splatoon then witcher 3 in the past ~2-3 month.

Im maybe at something like 60 hours in witcher 3 (main storyline finished) and 100hrs in splatoon (dont know exactly about witcher 3 scince ps4 dont tell you the playtime). I played both game simultaneously and often it was a tough decision what to play, but i choosed splatoon alot more (which also suprises me, cause before playing both i thought witcher 3 would be the Game of the Year/Gen and wasnt even interested in Splatoon before the global testfire demo).

 

Even if i was really angry about nintendo after e3, I have to admit their games still have something special. Cant really describe it.

I also didnt played any online games yet because of the ps+ fees. They are not worth paying for 1-2 games at the moment in my opinion so online am still 100% wii u.

 

BTW Ps4 games im interested in (so you may get my taste in games)

- Kingdom Hearts III

- The Division

- ELEX

- No Mans Sky

 

My fav. Wii u Games

Mario Kart 8

Spaltoon

Windwaker HD

I would say yes. The content on the console is very diverse and if you are anything like me, you want your RPGs on the best possible platform.

Its like FF15. Its also on Xbox One but you are really gonna want this experience to be the best it can be. Therefore you are gonna need a PS4

Honestly, it probably would have been worth paying for PS+ last month for Rocket League alone. I'm not that enamoured with it personally, but it does have  uniquely addictive gameplay, which given your interest in Splatoon may interest you.


Yeah okay i even played this on my 14 days trial. But it was the only online game I played (because it was free for download). Didnt played to much but also wasnt that much impressed to be honest.

I don't think I've played a single game online since buying my PS4, but I've had PSN+ since day 1. All those games you get every month means PSN+ pays ofr itself no question. I think having online play behind a paywall is shitty, but PSN+ is worth the money just for the games you get.  The only problem is now I have too many games and not enough time to play them. At some point I may drop PSN+ because the backlog is getting too big, but for now I'm happy to accumulate the games. I don;t think I'll buy any games for the rest of the year, so I can work through the games I already have. I've already got Blooodborne and The Witcher 3 on the "to buy in future" list.  It's likely I won't buy Uncharted 4 straight away either and that's the only must own game coming up. It does help that I still have PS3 and I've got a lot of good games off PSN+ for that too, Yakuza 4, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, NBA 2k14. Having 2 PS consoles makes PSN+ for games a real no-brainer.

Yeah maybe but im not interested in the ps4 free games yet. I will probl get ps+ in 2016 to play the division, hope better free games will arrive.

I also dont like this free games system at all. They should offer 2 options:

1 year ps+ all features 50 bucks.

1 year online gaming only 10 bucks.
