I never really had a console for a good 10 years since I was a student, so I missed the PS3 and early stages of the PS4. I only got a PS4 two years ago as one of my first purchses from my first few paychecks.<br><br>When I started catching up on game releases, I was pretty surprised at how many games were, as you mentioned, so predatory with DLCs and micros. I miss buying a game and having its full experience, although there have been games like RDR2, HZD, GoW and Spiderman that have been incredible without online.,(reply>), priestMan Agreed! I will also stress the importance of watching tutorials and making sure to seriously pay attention to every step. The pieces fit together well and logically, but a dumb little miss-step (like not grounding before touching material) can ruin something that cost several hundred dollars.,(reply>), If you can I advise building your own PC. You can afford it since you work now, and games are stupid cheap. I mean most of my games in my library i got for nothing more than 25 bucks, buying a game with all the dlc packs for 19.99 or so. You will truly stick it to the AAA industry, save alot of money, and get to play alot of quality games. My two cents<br><br>Plus building a pc is pretty simple, just watch a few videos, read and learn about a few terms here and there, and the parts go together like legos. It truly is a rewarding and satisfying choice. <br>Built my PC this august/september and i now barely touch my PS4,(reply>), You should definitely pick up a Switch when you get the chance. Very little of that bs on there.
