Was going to recommend Solarplex's advice. Get some rice as it will absorb all the water. It work's on Iphones and other things so should work. On the bright side everything saved is cloud based now so if you need to get a replacement you will not lose any progress on games, just have to reinstall stuff.

Well it depends on gamer preferences, if you enjoy online multi-player then yes. A lot of people above have indicated no single player is a deal breaker, however in an FPS I only play multi-player. Did not touch MW3 (last COD I will play), BF bad company 2, BF3, or BF4 single player. The multi aspect gives me a lot of hours (more than most SP games) as you are always improving in game, so i do not feel as though i am missing out on the value scale, and I don't find SP that rewarding in an FPS / don't get invested like I would with a good RPG or the Uncharted series.

Although the map packs and DLC to feel like a rip off after buying the thing, miss the days when you would just download and add it to the rotation whatever the server was playing.

Mutliplayer go BF4. Larger scale and more varied to keep you coming back where difference in classes impact how you play, maps make a huge difference to class selection and then the vehicles and destructible environments.

Have to agree with Lost Odyssey, came out ages ago and was not marketed very well but was a thoroughly enjoyable RPG. That and Dragon Age origins I found to be the best RPG's of the 360 era. Mass Effect is good, however do not consider it traditional RPG experience, that being said the ME 2 is a must play game.

It really depends on other factors as well, do you need the money from returning it? Since you already bought it my assumption is you are rationalising the need of having both systems as you can only play 1 at 1 time and there are only so many hours to spend gaming, and with so many strong multi-plats it is a hard justification. Aside from the financial aspect is it purely a gaming system or do you use other services i.e. have you set-up entertainment to run through DLNA or anything?

I tend to think you should keep it as there are more options available right now with the XB1 for entertainment outside gaming, and a lot of the PS4 exclusives are being pushed back to next year. Right now I am the opposite where my XB1 is set up and the PS4 is still in the box as the only exclusive content is Second Son (sorry not counting knack and don't starve), the interface feels outdated, and there is no ability to stream from the PC. This will all be fixed in time and I do like the PS4, however if I am going to pay a subscription for multiplayer I would prefer to use it on Microsoft IPs Forza and Titanfall, which then means my multiplayer multiplats are all on the XB1 as the PS4s Infamous is a single player mode and PS+ is yet to do anything on the PS4 that makes it a must subscribe.

If you have never played a FPS then this would be just as good as any to start. This along with COD probably have the smallest learning curve. Always need to start somewhere and this is a fun game. Not knowing anyone online won't matter i don't know anyone, the rounds are short, and you make friends / meet people by playing online and adding people (or just go into the XBlive gamertag section on here and add some people).

Let us celebrate you joining Playstation with the adding of chocolate to milk.

Agree with dipdish, keep the gaming PC alive for steam games and FPS. Definitely get PS+ as advised from another user, it really is worth the subscription and just kick back waiting for the PS exclusives. I find Xbone (which i also really enjoy and am playing more right now) focuses more on 3rd person and FPS for their exclusives and PS has more platformer and RPG driven games.

The big issue with PS right now is besides infamous a lot of their IP is being delayed.

Completely respect your perspective as you have tried the game and understand how you draw your conclusions. The A.I. i don't have an issue with being terrible as that is kind of the point, to have easy targets so everyone can get a kill and reduce the time for a Titan, and also allow less experienced players to practice getting kills.

I find a Titan Vs Pilot is stacked in the Titan's favor, the only thing that makes it difficult is where a Pilot takes advantage of being indoors and assists a team member, or gets close enough to Rodeo, which out in the open is difficult. I have racked up major kills by being in a Titan and picking off pilots and A.I, where I get crushed is against multiple Titans.

There is a similar feel to COD in the shooting mechanics and the map layout, however the double jump, wall running and the removal of perks (ok there are burn cards) and the removal of kill streaks i really enjoy. The movement makes it a lot different, and some maps are better than others.

When people comment on being MP only, I played COD 2's demo, then MW2, Black Ops and MW3. Finished MW2's and Black Ops campaign, and with 3 I just couldn't. It felt like the same thing, to me the COD SP are 5 hour campaigns that should be DLC, not a new game. I also jump into multiplayer first, and preferred Black Ops as a multiplayer. MW3 for me had every map exactly the same, except one had a coat of paint for the jungle, one was a city, it was as though same scale same obstacles just different architecture. COD feels like they are charging for a new game every year, where it should be DLC. Titanfall maps have more variety and areas than the COD iterations.

Not overly fussed about game modes in multiplayer as all FPS are pretty much the same. My FPS preferences are Counter-strike and Battlefield because of the scale, cannot play a COD anymore, but Titan fall is a good and fun innovation on the format. I think where it could of really gained life is if it was released on steam and the modding community could of made new maps and new modes. The modding community brought gungame, but that would of cost respawn $$$ in the DLC space.

I am really enjoying the XB1. We do have a love hate relationship as my first XB1 had the disk error thing where it did not read disks properly, but it was real nice and quiet. My second XB1 has the disk error and also has a noise when turning over (but i have not returned it as cannot be bothered yet). I think XB1 suffered from a poor vision before being released and the back tracking was negative media.

As a system when it is working 100% it is really good, I just wish they would sort out their quality assurance on the assembly line, it appears the XB1 has a lot more hardware related issues on launch then the Wii U and the PS4.
