Good by itself, Great with friends.

If you have a friends list, like shooters or sci-fi, and a pulse, this is a great game. If you only like to play by yourself on story focused games, you should play The Last of Us instead (although the multiplayer is really good there too). What's great about Destiny is the connected hub/spoke world and jumping in with friends and strangers to take on missions. The story is forgettable, but not bad, just unremarkable. The reason to keep playing is to hang out with friends, try new gear, or just have fun exploring the world. If that sounds good to you, you'll have a great time.

Hope's Peak Academy. For the desperately average teenager, it seems like a shining, exalted house of education, full of prestige, allure and only the most gifted students. It certainly seemed to be beyond reach to Makoto Naegi. But when he unexpectedly finds himself accepted for admission, he thought that perhaps he wasn't so average after all. When he arrives and becomes trapped with the other students in a prison made by a nefarious mastermind, he is presented with the opportunity to prove himself exceptional once and for all. Unmask the villain, uncover the secret of the school — or die trying. Only the most gifted will survive.The students are murdering each other one by one and life in the school-turned-prison is growing deadlier by the day. You may be trapped, but you can still fight to unravel the mystery. Investigate each incident, talk to your classmates, search for clues and more — whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this shrouded case. Your only hope is to sway classmates to your side and squeeze every bit of information out of them to figure out the culprit. The dastardly Monokuma serves as judge, jury and executioner, so you'll need your wit to win — engage in fast-paced wordplay, fire words back at your opponents to expose their lies, dissect each and every statement and more in a variety of timing and reflex-based game systems. The only chance you have of saving your own skin is to uncover the truth. Do you have what it takes?

I played this game multiple times on PS3, and the PS4 version is even better. Smoother, better graphics, and multiplayer is just as fun as ever.
My Best Buy number: 0569091358
What's great about it: Honestly, Almost everything
What's not so great: Controls are more survival horror than action. You've been warned.

Game is better than negative hype

Previews for this game do not do it justice. I avoided it because I thought I would be disappointed, but it's actually one of my favorite games of PS3 gen. If you liked Heavy Rain, or you like complex and interesting stories, it's a great game. There is action in the game, but if all you play is twitch shooters, I'm not sure you'll appreciate the slower parts.
A great game for adult/mature gamers who like complex stories even if the gameplay moves more slowly at times.

This is some of the most fun I've had on the ps4 system. The story is not amazing, but it is good, and will keep you hooked. There is plenty of side content to keep you busy if you want, but none of it feels tedious or stupid....it's all quite fun. They really focused on an enjoyable gameplay experience, and the graphics are simply top notch.

Haven't played TR yet? Get this version!

I played TR on ps3 and thought it was one of the best looking games of the generation, and the gameplay was fun and engaging, the story is definitely good, and there is some fan service to people who played the first TR games.
The PS4 version is a definite visual upgrade, and using the DS4 is so much better....but if you already played/beat the ps3 version, you might use your money someplace else....but if you haven't played this game and you have a PS4, this game is a no brainer must buy.

If you are a MGS fan, it's a no-brainer, and even more-so if you played/liked peace walker (psp). A short campaign with some replayability on the side missions, this is an extended prequel for the upcoming MGS: Phantom Pain. If you've never played a MGS game before, you should probably start with the HD series, but if you're a fan, this is an obvious choice to pick up and play (and replay).
