Playing Divinity Original Sin II on Xbox One X and it's fantastic so far. They did a pretty good job porting this to consoles.

Can you elaborate on the bolded? I've never heard of this before.

I think it has to do with a lot more PS exclusive publications giving more favourable reviews due to the platform exclusivity. You see the same thing with a lot of Nintendo exclusives, that bet padded with an extra dozen 10/10 reviews from all the Nintendo specific publications.

Absolutely cannot wait to play Spider-Man. It looks so good.

That seems to be make sense. I've never really paid attention to metacritic scores or anything as I have a few sites I trust for reviews and go by them.

EB games called me today and said I would be able to pick up my pre-ordered copy this Thursday at 10 pm 😃

It's not like the recent Sony exclusives haven't deserved the great review scores though. If anything, Horizon Zero Dawn's average is lower than it deserves to be.

I have the Spider-Man collector's edition pre-ordered. Can't wait for this game.

Oh hey open beta for Battlefield 5, today if you're an Origin Access member or preordered, or Sept 6 for everyone else.

The 64 player battle royale last-squad-standing mode sounds interesting.

codynw · 09-04-2018, 07:58 PM

I'm probably gonna get one of Call of Duty or Battlefield this year. Even though I haven't played one since Advanced Warfare, I'm leaning towards CoD honestly. A battle royale game with the polish of a AAA first person shooter? Yes please.

Some highlights from the weekend. $250,000 US to the winner.

I got early access for having Geforce Experience installed.

I am in. Rebel Galaxy was so much fun and the soundtrack for the game was excellent.

Spider-Man might just be the game to convince me to buy a PS4. Curious about the fps differences between the Pro vs normal versions.

If you're interested in getting the PS4 Pro for Spiderman this might be a good option:

You get a limited edition PS4 Pro plus you get the Spiderman game and the Season Pass (I believe). If you're already buying the game and the Season Pass ($100) then maybe effectively a $399 PS4 Pro is worth it?

SuperMatt18 · 09-05-2018, 09:58 AM

I have a PS4 Pro already and I still almost want that Spiderman Edition

I have a PS4 (launch). If EB Games has some sort of trade in promotion I may end up trying to do that. I red PS4 Pro would look out of place but maybe it'll be worth something later.

NHL 19 trial (EA Access - Xbox One) available now for anyone interested or with the means.

Battlefield Beta code, I won't have time to use it.

That Spider-man game convinced me to go buy a Ps4 today. First Playstation I've ever bought. Going to take advantage of using the 20x Shoppers Optimum points today and then they have a redemption sale on Saturday which I can hopefully cash out and get a 2nd controller.

Good time to dip into the PS4 ecosystem. There's a ton of great games you can get cheap.
