I'm getting both those games but on Xbox 360. I'd like to have a PS4, but I'll probably get a Wii-U next before the year is out.
I am next-gen!

Hey everyone,
It's been a busy time for me lately as I was fortunate enough to find a new job and have spent the last two weeks working diligently to bring my replacement up to speed. A hectic time but worth it for sure. I'm a bit slow to blog about it but my last day at my previous employer was July 31st with the start date for my new position being August 11th. This of course grated me a full week out of work and hence............ I'm now next gen. PS4 to be specific.
I had previously posted here about my intention to purchase the Destiny PS4 bundle but being honest, I couldn't bear to wait so here I am.
My first impression of the PS4 was how much more solid the Dualshock 4 controller feels. While I am one of the apparent few who actually like the Dualshock 3, the 4 is most certainly an improvement; primarily due to the comfortable grip and tidier shoulder button layout.
The other obvious change over the PS3 is the interface and the greater community focus of the system. Everyone by now has heard of the Dualshock 4's "Share" button and upon logging in, you can see how much attention Sony wants players to give to sharing. Whether it's uploading pics & videos to Facebook/Twitter, streaming gameplay videos on Twitch or watching other people play, it really is very easy to connect with other players (if you want to of course). To be fair, outside of posting a few screenshots to Twitter, I haven't done much sharing of my own though I could see this changing with both Destiny & FIFA and especially with Tekken 7 when released.
As for current games, to start my collection I picked up MGSV: Ground Zeroes (which seems good so far) and bought LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (which has taken up the most of my time and is genuinely great). I've also played a few hours of Strider which was free on PS Plus and a very small amount of both Doki Doki Universe & Road Not Taken (both also free). I think I might do a write up of Strider once I finish it as something about the gameplay is grabbing me.
With Destiny due out Sep 9th, it'll be a busy time for gaming for sure. I have also preordered Diablo III (out Aug 19th) and FIFA 15 (out Sep 23rd) and I'm hoping all three games grab my attention. Basicly, what I'm saying is that come two weeks time, I'll see ye all again around Thanksgiving 
Anyway, enough rambling.
Stay classy my friends.
Later
