My current list is mostly based on nostalgia + ignorance

PGA Golf (no idea which one)
Madden (same)
Tony Hawk pro skater 1 + 2 (the one that dropped this weekend, though I hear its getting mixed reviews)
Sonic the Hedgehog
Rocket League
NHL something

All EA ever does every year is update the rosters & graphics, and add a few new animations. Madden is pretty bad because of this, and relies on being the ONLY NFL game, period. No other options.

upgrade besides graphics and roster?

They killed off the competition with the monopoly contract and now they put out a 60 dollar roster update.

>They killed off the competition with the monopoly contract

And with the possibility of someone making updated rosters on the older games easily available to download in-game, it makes little sense to fork over the full $60 for the new Madden unless you're gonna play it a LOT. And even then, I'm not so sure.

I was playing last year's Madden yesterday with NFL rosters...from yesterday. Teddy with Carolina for instance. Rookies on the scene. All of that. Good enough for me!

At this point, I look at buying Madden on day one as supporting and validating EA's lameness. It makes no sense that they still haven't mastered some of the stuff that 2k5 got right 15 years ago. No sense at all. But they have that Ultimate Team/pay to win stuff ready to roll for that azz every time. Ridiculous.

^^^^^^ This right here. All that time to make it better and they have nothing to show for it. I played the free weekend and it looks like they are going backwards.

...I’m over here envious cause they didn’t release it on X1.

That looks fun as hell, thanks

I still game and read/listen to gaming coverage pretty regularly and that one's shaping up to be a Game of the Year candidate. I know I'm really enjoying it, especially for $40

I'd recommend some stuff, but if you only have the thing for a week, you're goood. Ram those cars into those soccer balls.

Agreed I haven’t read mixed reviews like that, its just the guy I borrowed the PS4 from supposedly played it on saturday and said he along with his friends were kinda disappointed with it. But it looks good to me so I might cop

Got Red Dead Redemption 2 as well as Farcry5 and some GTA dont remember which one. Played and passed on a couple of free games through Playstation Plus today: Golf pro something, a tour de france game and a formula 1 game. They were all pretty much whatever

Spider-Man
Ghost of Tsushima
God of War

you have A) a job B) Kids C) an SO D) A social life
