Parents are trying to downsize and cleaning out their basement. They made me take my Xbox360 back home with me after Thanksgiving lol. Started playing GTA5 and will also be playing Halo 3 and all of the Assassin's Creeds. Forgot how fun gaming was. Got away from it once I graduated college so now I'm thinking about picking up the new Xbox or PS5 lol.

So can you nerds tell me what the better console is?

Assuming you mean specifically between Xbox vs PS5....

I've owned a PS4 and a XB1 for about 2 years now after being pure Xbox most of my life.

Assuming the trends continue...

PS5 better for gaming
- better OS IMO
- more exclusives
- better party mechanics
- better GPU

Xbox is better as a more general entertainment option
- better media playback (I find my Plex users on PS4 have more problems than I do on XB1)
- Microsoft, so integration with Windows/PCs should be easier
- Still a fine gaming console
- Has Halo and Gears of War exclusives

There are 14 of them in the series.

I looked it up.... I am like 99% sure I played one of the ones on PS2 and if it is the game I think it is, I'd agree with you as far as an RTS for console.

I may have to try out the latest one for PS4.

The Hype is Real. CDPro goes all out in terms of detail.

I’m not playing cyberpunk until I get one of the new consoles. I will probably replay Witcher 3 also when I get one

Yeah I wouldn't blame ya if yours is old.

I'm on a RTX2080 right now.

I'm still stuck on a 1060 6GB. I'd like to pick up a 3080 but from what I've seen they don't really exist in the wild at this point.

I'd wait for the Witcher 3 remaster before replaying, which should be out next year, I believe. It'll have a bunch of upgrades for next gen.

I finally killed John (FC 5)! I immediately did the next two missions ending with Wrath. Very intense, loved it. I also unlocked the second specialist spot and the third gun slot. It's nice having Nick Rye circle above you.
A couple questions for you:
Can you spawn a helicopter somewhere beside the place you buy them?
Which is the best helicopter?
Which area (Jacob or Faith) should I head to next?

TIA

I enjoyed the John "boss" fight the most.

You can only spawn Cars, Helicopters, or Planes at the designated spots on the map where you can buy them.

However, you'll find more spots where you can spawn Helicopters.... the next main "base" you find will have one, and so will the one after that.

I found all the helicopters felt the same in terms of like speed/handling, just some have weapons/more weapons.

I bought the one with the Tiger stripe paint job lol.

You can head to w/e area you want but the story basically intends you to do John -> Faith (she'll start talking to you next on the radio) -> Jacob

I found no meaningful difference in difficulty between Faiths region and Jacob's, whereas I think after John's region they bring out a bit more difficulty in additional types of enemies... Angels, Heavies, etc.

I highly recommend making forays into Jacob's territory to unlock the additional characters that will help you.

If you use stealth, Jess and Peaches are a good combo.

One rando tip if you didn't notice it, but you only get 2 slots for allies, and while Nick Rye or the other lady who brings her helicopter are nice air support, keep in mind they cannot land and revive you, so it is usually wise to bring at least one ally on the ground.

Wow. What a fall from grace Bioware has had. Feels like DA5 is a make-or-break game for them.


Its almost like when a company like EA buys and corporatizes/monetizes a company like Bioware, it fucks the creative/development process, promotes unhealthy crunching, drives away talented people, and in the end robs something like Bioware of the things that made it successful and worthy of purchase.

Honestly, EA is bad but everything that I've read has said that Bioware did this to themselves. EA gave them tons of rope on Andromeda, even offering more time to complete the game and they hung themselves with it. They refused the extension because they wanted to work on Anthem, which absolutely bombed. The Kotaku articles that Jason Schrier wrote really exposed how bad Bioware was at managing their development process. And now the studio head and lead DA4 designer are leaving? Yeesh...
