Is it still worth buying a PS4, or should I wait for the PS5?
Buy a PS4. Although the PS5 may come out at the end of 2020, the first version of anything always needs improvement. The PS4 Pro was originally released with a CUH-70xx model number. Later, Sony tweaked things under the hood and started shipping the CUH-71xx model of the Pro. Today, the RDRII bundle ships with a CUH-72xx Pro.If the PS5 pumps 4K at 60FPS, the first model may generate so much heat that the fans cause the console to levitate off the shelf unless you stick a potted plant on it. After a few months, Sony may figure out how to reduce the power consumption or improve the cooling and start shipping a model that doesn't need a potted plant. It would be better to wait for that PS5 model so you can focus on gameplay without having to worry about watering a plant.More importantly, two years is an eternity that you cannot allow to go to waste waiting for a PS5. In that time, you could sink 1000 hours into Horizon Zero Dawn, start a Twitch stream called "Make Some Shards", and become famous. Or, on a glum note, what if you catch an incurable disease before the PS5 comes out? Do you want to be thinking with your last breath, "I should have bought a PS4."? Of course not. That would suck.Life is short. Buy a PS4.
How can I deal with an older brother that's a douchebag?
I'm 13 years old. My brother is 16. He always acts like he's hot ****. He gets all the attention he wants with girls. He does cross-country running every morning and constantly brags about the calves he has. He owns the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. He plays Battlefield 4 on the One alot, for a long time. When he's not playing on the Xbox, he's watching Netflix or on his phone. Now, he thinks I'm a wimp. To be honest, I kinda am. I always dream of the day I stand up to him, but I never do. I can say alot of things, as he thinks that I'm as immature as a 10-year old and I don't know anything about the world. He knows how to fight and always challenges me for something when he wants it. Sometimes, he even picks up a yoga ball and violently beats me down with it and calls it 'training'. Now, being a teenager, I like playing games on my computer, like Minecraft. I'm a moderator for a server, and it's a responsibility for me to be active on it. My brother acts like I'm a nerd for it and being a Moderator is a 'big deal'. In fact, everything I do that he thinks is immature and stupid, he constantly makes fun of me for it. I have tried staying in my room, but he just comes in, sits in my chair, and stays there on his phone. He opens my laptop and changes settings like Zoom + 200%, and turn all the colors negative. Minutes ago, he even hacked my Microsoft account and changed my password so I can't make changes. I want to know how to deal with him.
Which FPS (first-person shooter) on console do you believe is better: Call of Duty or Battlefield?
Personally it's a bit of a hit and miss with both franchise's. Currently, I am a COD player, and I'm really looking forward to the Black Ops 4 release, and I've been playing BO3 a lot (being so far my favourite COD game and the fartherst I've played in multiplayer). BO3 was such a great game, it was easy to approach and get into for new and returning players yet still rewarded and provided a great game for seasoned fans and players. I’m all about the online multiplayer at this point.Infinite Warfare was a bit of a miss for me. I lived the campaign despite how short it was, and it was probably my favourite so far. But like I said I hated the multiplayer, from the guns and the game play overall. I missed the specialists and gunplay of BO3.And really, I'm looking forward to BO4 for that exact reason, I'm hoping to experience the same thing for the multiplayer and for it not to be dominated by very experienced players even late into its life cycle, and to be able to enjoy my game time instead of becoming frustrated. I hope that something that resembles the specialists from BO3 will be included and the new battle royal interests me but I'm somewhat skeptical about how it might turn out.On to Battlefield. Battlefield has also had its hits with me, but the only game I've played thoroughly was Battlefield 1. I always wanted to play BF4, as well as Hardline (even through the bad reviews and recommendations) I really loved the look of the present day guns and setting. BF1 was still a good game done ret me wrong and I really enjoyed it, but personally I wasn't that into the WW1 setting. BF5 is still in the ballpark for me, I'm not sure if I want to buy it or not and I'm especially not sure about the setting and I hate to say it but the realism.Currently I have high hopes for the next cod game (the Black Ops series being the only one that has really satisfied me) and I'm not sure about BF5. In my opinion and from what I've played through I would say that to me COD would be the better franchise. In saying that though, if Battlefield moved away from the WW1 - 2 setting and towards a more modern and even slightly futuristic standpoint like that of BO3 and BO4, then I might be right into that.I know that was probably a lot of rambling you don't care about, so tl:dr I think COD is the better game presently.Hope this helps,-N
Is the PS4 really worth it?
I have a nice gaming rig and a PS4 as well. My outtake is that they both have advantages and personal preference has its role as well. The PS4 pros and consCons: Limited upgrade potential: you can upgrade the hard drive and that's about it.New games generally cost more.You will not be playing games in 4K.You are tethered to Sony and must pay for PS plus if you want to play online or even use some features of games you have already paid for.Pros:Ease of use: hit 1 button and you are playing your game.
