Most critics seem to agree its worth playing for the Nemesis system alone. I really want to play it but with FIFA and Dragonage still to get and money being particularly tight at the moment it's not gonna be a priority. Will definitely get it eventually though, likewise with Forza Horizon 2 and maybe Sunset Overdrive

With it having no multiplayer, it's certainly one of them games you can wait till you have the time to play.

Only 720p with 30FPS on the Xbox, compared to 1080p with 60FPS on the PS4.

I don't understand why people queue for hours at conventions especially when its to play a game that's out in a few weeks, or a few days in the case of Mordor

Same I think the longest I queued was about 30 minutes for Sunset Overdrive which by about midday went to a 2 hour queue. Was plenty of games I wanted to play but just went in whatever queue was shortest.

Just traded 5 keys from Team Fortress 2 with someone for Civ V: Gods and Kings & Civ V: Brave new World. Basically I paid £7.15 for stuff thats worth about £40 in the Steam store.

Yeah, just played about an hour of it, and it's great. Bit overwhelming at first, seems like the whole map is covered with orcs! I got to grips with the combat pretty quickly, suppose that's because I played the Arkham games a lot. Only died once so far.

Mordor’s Nemesis system is the perfect balance where your own death actually makes the game more interesting and fun to play.

Why limit the PS4 just because the Xbox One isn't powerful enough?

EA can go fuck themselves.

When I got my PS4 (a few weeks ago), I had FIFA 14 (off a roommate) to tide me over until FIFA 15 came out. Note, I was playing FIFA 14 fine on the 360 for months before this.

So on the PS4 I had to sign in to Origin, tried that, it said my account was suspended (same one I used on 360). So I went to the online chat, they couldn't do anything, emailed the cunts accountdisputes shite and made a new Origin account so I could play FIFA. I could still login to the account on the browser, and no indication of being suspended there at all.

Got an email back there (after I re-sent my original email):

What the actual fuck? I didn't even play FUT at all, and only played online about 3 weeks before I got the PS4 (which makes no sense if the account was banned in March, wtf).

So it seems like I'm stuck with my 'new' account and can't recover the old one (had since FIFA 12 or whatever).

Bunch of cunts. Gonna go destroy some helpdesk lads day for the sheer fuck of it now

PC all the way. Only reason I still play consoles is because they are much cheaper than the PCs i'd want to get.

VP, Xbox One friends has been down for 30 hours and counting, so you technically cannot game with friends, i know the online isn't down but still, i play on my xbox 90% of the times with friends, at the moment i can't do that.

Both consoles are as bad as each other and both were released a year too early, imo.

Fair enough having a moan as it is wrong and should of course work. But if you want something that never goes wrong then you're well out of luck with both consoles. In fact Xbox Live is massively more reliable online than PSN and as i personally only play online i don't think i could ever go to Playstation as i'm always seeing people complain about it.
