So I've been playing the PS4 quite a bit since I purchased it. This weekend I seemed to be concentrating on two games I have. I threw FIFA 14 in over the weekend, and started a career with a new player. I have to say that the more I played it, the more I wanted to play just to see my character grow and get better. I used their Gameface feature to actually upload some pictures so I can see myself playing soccer again. I have to say that this is a pretty cool thing that you can do. I believe it's been around for a few years now, but the detail that you can get is pretty amazing now. The one mechanic in FIFA I wish was different was that you don't start playing for a team you choose. It appears that when you come on the scene as an up and coming 18 year old football player, the team that you pick "farms" you out to another team. So I'm hoping after playing a season for whoever I am playing for now, will get me back onto a team that is actually good. I haven't played a FIFA game since the original XBOX and I can't even remember what year it was that I played. I will say that the game has definitely come a long ways from what little I remember from back in the day!
After playing quite a bit of FIFA I had to give my feet a rest and I jumped over to Assassin's Creed IV. I have to say that the graphics on this game are still quite amazing. I'm finally out sailing in my own ship and plundering plenty of booty to amass fame and fortune. While it still really feels like an Assassin's Creed game with the combat and a lot of the quests you are doing, I feel like I am much more invested in my character than what I remember being in playing the first AC game. There are so many side quests and different things to do and places to explore, I have a feeling that this game will definitely be keeping me busy for the upcoming future.
