Better than the previous installments.

Dark souls 3 is definitely better than the previous installments, so if you liked those, you'll likely like this one.
It remains challenging, though sometimes it's challenging because of the mediocre controls. Exploration is much improved, I found it more interesting to look around. Combat has been improved with weapon arts, while still being Dark Souls.
I also found the lore to be really thought out and deep.
I didn't notice any frame rate dips, but others have mentioned it being a problem.

It's 1,000 years or more before the age of the Dragonborn, just before the rise of Tiber Septim, the first Emperor of Tamriel, and the world is in a state of turmoil. The Daedric prince, Molag Bal, has stolen your soul and his next move is to destroy Tamriel. Across the mysterious lands of Morrowind, over the sprawling metropolis of Daggerfall and beyond, there rests the fog of battle, and out of the three alliances, only one can become the masters of Tamriel. Only one can seize the throne and gain the spoils of war.Gather friends, guildmates and alliances in the MMORPG world of The Elder Scrolls as it moves online on your PlayStation 4 for the first time ever. Choose your own destiny, your own character, your own allies and, ultimately, your own fate as you try to stop the evil machinations of the Daedric prince, Molag Bal, and the first-ever necromancer, Mannimarco, from bringing about the end of days. A unique combat system enables you to engage in real-time strategic attacks and blocks, while purposefully targeting your opponents. With The Elder Scrolls' Megaserver technology, the entire world of Tamriel is connected, so you will already have the strength and security that comes from being surrounded by your friends and guild mates. Use the game's compass to navigate through areas of interest at your own pace. Weapons and armor are available any time, so play as you like, develop your own style, and explore your way across Tamriel. The world is waiting.

Shallow, and very plain on the surface. It looks nice, but this is a game, not a painting or movie. Very arcadey, if you liked the game play of the previous games, you'll probably like this one. Very little story.

Spectre is exactly what you'd expect from a Bond film in regards to content and tropes, but not predictable. I found it to be a very enjoyable and beautiful film, great pacing, and the characters were very well rounded. It;s sad to see that Danial Craig is done with Bond, it seems they finally know howto capture the magic from Casino Royale.

When the success of your next quest hangs in the balance, or only one more hairpin turn stands between you and first place. When the clock is running out and your team must defend that flag at all costs, or the next combo attack could either be your greatest or your last.

With these additions, the DualShock 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game ~ and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming.

Standard PS4 controller, but in white!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is just your standard, and official, PS4 controller, just in a white color scheme. I do believe that the white controllers began production after the thumb stick rubber peeling issue was resolved and also after the L2/R2 issues were fixed. I don't have the latter problem, and only time will tell if I run into the former.

These particular extenders "clip" on to the thumb sticks. this makes the prone to slipping off from time to time.
The length is great, makes it easier to control aiming speed. I turn up my aiming sensitivity with these, the longer stick allows me to be more accurate when aiming while being able to turn quickly when needed.

Exactly what you'd expect.

A little surprising that I'd be asked to review this but okay.
It's exactly what you'd expect, you buy the card, you scratch off the silver material covering the code and you put it in on the PSN under "Redeem codes" and it'll ask if you want to add the funds to your wallet.
It's good if you don't want to put a credit card on the PSN for whatever reason. It's also good if you're looking to rack up points at Best Buy, it's almost a dollar back in reward points, and it's $20 towards YTD sales for ELITE status, the latter reason is why I purchase these (really just for the unlimited point banking option).

Come a long way since the original, not all good.

R6: Seige is a fast paced shoot built on top of the original SWAT like concept of the originals. Controls and plays like COD, but with game modes designed to play like the early R6, without the ability to control multiple characters, instead relying on other players.
Difficulty doesn't change when playing alone vs with friends in the terrorist hunts, which can make playing solo much more of a challenge.
Looks somewhat lack luster compared to other game releasing around it, despite being small in scope.
Surprisingly, I had very little glitches or issues with online, other than people tend to kick you if you don't have a headset.

Buy the PS4 version!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have this game for both the Xbox One and the PS4 (and I played it on the PC one). The Xbox One version seems to play in slow motion. If I switch back and forth it takes a little getting used to the speed of each version. I had it hooked up to a second TV where and friend played one and I played the other and it's a clear difference in how it plays. I thought it was my Xbox One until I played it on a friends and got the same result.
As I said, if you want this game, buy a PS4/PC and the PS4/PC version.
The game itself is just as you'd expect from an annualized COD release. The jet packs add a nice verticality to the game play, other than that it's just what you'd have been playing in the previous COD releases.

Much improved over the original release

Verified Purchase:Yes
Diablo 3 while originally a poor game IMO, has been much improved over time, but is still just fair.
The controller is a better way to play this game than the keyboard.
It's a lot easier get gear in this game, but it lacks content. Relies too much on just increasing the difficulty and will likely require hundreds of hours just to get what you're looking for.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night ~ when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

Fun mechanics, good co-op.

I bought this game with a friend of mine since we were desperate for a co-op game that let's you play the whole game co-op instead of just a fraction of the game, and we are both very pleased.
The parkour (free running) mechanics are the best I've seen in a game. Melee combat plays like Skyrim, but is much better. Tools have a lot of variation, and if you're ever stuck, you can put some time into scavenging to make things easier.
The story is interesting, but I wouldn't say that it's anything to rave about.
