Totally forgot Elder Scrolls Online and the Division are both on there too. The Division is awesome now and definitely worth playing.

I played the Division last night and the very first dungeon (idk what the game calls them but they're dungeons ok.) I matchmade into had three other guys who actually talked on mic to call out where enemies were, and say what abilities they were using, say they needed help/were coming to help, and were generally nice. I did everything there was to do in this game on the PS4 at launch, and some of the post-launch content like the fire truck raid, and that never happened. Not one time.

TESO is definitely a serviceable MMO and not total rear end like I was expecting it to be (didn’t it suck a ton at launch?) but yeah every time I play it I kinda keep thinking I could be playing WoW or FFXIV instead. At least it’s better than Guild Wars 2

I’d recommend For Honor, which I haven’t really played much of ever, but Overwatch is the worst video game ever created, even worse than that Atari 2600 game where you rape an Indian woman. Hope this helps, OP.

Hitman seems really relaxing since a lot of things can be accomplished at your own pace, just wandering around and interacting with the levels... the Elusive Targets are mega stressful though.

You're not playing most of these games in 4k60, or even close to it. 4k30, if you're lucky. GTA V, Dishonored (and probably others) aren't even Xbonx-enhanced, so they'll run worse than on a base PS4.

Also, sorry you don't posses the mental faculties to operate a gaming PC.

An odd difference I’ve noticed between the PS4 and Xbox is how much more social Xbox users are, like I’ll boot up my Xbox and get invited to games, parties, or co streams constantly out of the blue, and people will just talk and have fun and shoot the poo poo, meanwhile on PS4 people send invites/messages once in a blue moon and despite having several dozen PSN friends, there’s rarely any parties going in that little ‘friends in a party:’ tab, and when parties DO form they’re usually more detached and focused entirely on the game... Is there a specific reason for this? Seems to be that way for a lot of people I’ve brought this up with.

I've been keeping my Xbox One S in standby mode instead of fully turning it off, and today I turned it on to find that it wasn't detectingany WiFi signals. I found a video on Youtube which said to just unplug the power cable and plug it back in. This fixed it, but I'm wondering is this an issue that has to do with keeping the system in "Instant-on" power mode or anything like that?

Don’t keep an Xbox in instant power mode. It’s a dumb feature. If you want to turn on the Xbox just press the button. There’s no good reason to keep it ‘in standby’ sucking up power for 16 hours a day.

Yikes at people defending this and thinking it's a great deal that works out in their favor. There's always fine print and catch 22 to this that is hidden away. 2 year contracts with phones are always predatory and just a lease/loan on the phone, this is not going to be any different.

Maybe.... however, I’m feeling a little less of a ‘yikes’ about the people supporting Microsoft’s announcement in this thread, and a little more yikesy toward the people handwringing over and nitpicking it, and every other Xbox related announcement, consistently, every day, in multiple threads, for the last five and a half years.

So I don't know if it's something to really worry about, but the last couple of times I've turned on my Xbox it stays on for a second or two then immediately turns off. After another 10 seconds or so it turns itself back on and stays on for the rest of the time. Like I said, this only happens when I first boot the system, but I don't know if it's something that should immediately be taken care of or not. Anyone else ever run into this issue?

Sounds like some kind of power supply issue, to me.

I used to use PS4 and Xbox for (mostly) exclusive games and get multiplats on PC, but recently I've decided to just get most multiplats on Xbox and save Steam for PC exclusives because Steam sucks and new PC parts are way too pricey and at this point in my life I'd rather spend $600 on a dozen or so good new games than on a new graphics card.
