After all the bickering and snark on the speculation thread about the next gen consoles, I felt like starting a bit more positive conversation about the games from this gen. The idea is like this: a lot of us have both consoles at home. I doubt any of us use both of them equally. So, let's say PS4 is your primary console of choice: what are you favorite memories and impressions playing xbox games.
I will start, if you don't mind.
I've been xbox one user since day one, then switched to xbox one x and only a year ago I bought PS4 Pro, because I really wanted to play God of War. Even though it is the first game I played on that console, it still my favorite. It looks great, there is quite a lot of stuff to do (skills, customization). I like that it is both open world and linear at the same time. And even though, the son character and his short detour into being a super-douche can be a bit annoying, I think overall they did a pretty good job with having a kid character in yoru game. My favorite thing about the game is that the whole story is so personal. It is not about saving the world and all that kind of stuff.
Spider-man - I was never huge fan of the character (I love Raimi's second film, but for many other reasons), so the game didn't really interest me all that much, but I bought it anyway. I still haven't finished it and not really in a hurry to do so, but you got to give developers a lot of credit for knowing how to start a game. The first impression is amazing, both from the gameplay and visual points of view.
Order 1886 - listen, it is not a great game, especially if you are have fond memories of playing Gears of War. I was almost ready to give up after the first 4 chapters or so, because you played less than you were watching cut-scenes, but I like the world and there are some fun weapons (termite gun). Curiosity got better of me and I kept on playing. I think it gets better as you move along and it is such a shame that the game doesn't really have an ending and they never got to made the sequel, because I would totally dive back into that bizzaro parallel universe world of late 19th century London.
So, what about you?
