Hey all, this is my first post after a few months of lurking, account finally approved!
After having picked up my PS4 at the Best Buy down the street from my apartment (I work for Best Buy, so I kept tabs on the process in our employee news) I took advantage of the Gamers Unlocked program and picked up Killzone and Assassins Creed IV. I already had Battlefield 4 for my PS4, so I paid the 10 bucks to snag the upgrade.
As to my ratings...
I played Killzone first, and I was blown away by the graphics, how smooth everything seemed. The gunplay was weird at first (Since I played PS3 so extensively, and I wasn't adjusted to the R2/L2 switch), but I quickly adapted, and I had a good time with it. I need to play more so I can see the rest of the story, and hopefully get more MP in, but I'm thus far impressed, if not truly amazed. 8/10
Now, AC IV has been a time-suck for me, in a good way. I can be a completionist when the mood strikes, and AC really did a good job at getting me in, 100%'ing every area I went to. I have already maxed out all the upgrades on the Jackdaw and Edward, not to mention the trophies for visiting every location on the map, haha. I enjoy Edward as a character, and seeing him get some sense knocked into him. While this is my first real foray into the AC series, I watched my best friend play through the others, so I have a good awareness of Altair, Ezio, and Connor's stories. Definitely enjoyed this game, and I'm finishing up the main story tonight. Still deciding if I'm going to do the mulitplayer for the Plat. 9/10
Resogun has been just... a blast. A friend and I hooked up party chat and did Co-op for several hours the other night. We had a totally great time flying around, shooting enemies, saving humans, and trying not to get obliterated. Admittedly we need to get better, to do something beyond Rookie, but we had a great time. Gorgeous, smooth, and just a really fun time. Solid mechanics, interesting premise (circular instead of side scrolling or total sphere), great stuff. 9/10
Battlefield 4 I'll keep short and sweet. It's got everything that the PS3 version has, but better across the board. Runs smoother, looks so much better, everything feels tighter... Especially on the DS4, which is fantastic. This is what helped get me used to using R2/L2 instead. With the hotfix, I was finally able to get in some 32/32 conquest maps, and sheesh, it's truly massive. Here's to getting better. 8.5/10
I haven't played Contrast yet, and I only gave a cursory playthrough to Warframe, but I plan to put time into each of them. Otherwise, I'm just really happy with my PS 4 experience, though I really, really want some JRPG love. C'mon Sony!
(Also, I'd like to say that Remote Play is awesome, and my Vita just got another great way to use it. The only game I haven't done much of that with is BF4, just because it's a bit too chaotic, I found, for Multiplayer purposes.)
