I've had a sealed copy of GTA V for the PS4 in my hands since it was released last week. Unfortunately, it's for my son for Christmas...

I plan to play it after I finish Far Cry 4 but I did play the first few missions and ran around the city. First Person mode turns it into a new game. Love it how you move from 3rd person while in cover and back out to FP.  Most have complained about driving in first person but after driving in that view through Far Cry 4, it should be no problem.

I am playing the trial version of Destiny...definitely conflicted as to whether or not to buy it in full.

I think you made the right call on that one. Haven't heard anything bad about the game yet...although I don't visit OS that much anymore.

And it's Cross Buy with PS4 so you can upgrade for free when you buy a PS4.

Very fun game, Played it for a few hours last night. The pitching interface is something you have to try. It is as good as advertised and really challenging as you raise the difficulty (which goes from 1 to 100.  Playing on 25 and got some really good games. Tried on 50, which was hard and went 10 innings only to lose by a run.  The hitting interface is really nice, especially how contact hits and power hits are done. Contact is pretty simple but you have more timing involved with power hits, as you need to power up a swing at the right time.  Fielding is the only dissapointment.  Anything hit high in the air is pretty much auto fielded, unless it is hit in the gap. Even at the 50 difficulty is was not very difficult. Low hits in the infield have a slow down effect to allow you time to figure out of you need to hit the button to dive for the ball. The throwing has a timing meter which works like most games.  Very pleased with this purchase so far.
