@enigma777: While there are still people playing, it is by far the fewest players Destiny has ever seen. As of right now, there are only 5 LFG posts for PS4 for Destiny. On a reset a few months ago, there were 10 posts for each checkpoint of the Raid, and 25 posts asking for fresh runs alone. 3 of those 5 posts today were for Nightfalls looking for Icebreaker, which makes sense seeing how it's the only Sniper in Destiny right now that actually has ammo in PvP. Right now is an extremely bad time to jump into Destiny. The PvP community, the thing that has kept it going for the past couple years in content droughts is simply enraged at the balance update, and many aren't playing as a result. In PvE, several of the most viable builds are completely broken from said patch such as Voidwalker. So until Bungie gets around to fixing (they have talked about a few fixes for the health regen perks bugs, but those don't fix everything) what they broke last week, I don't see those players coming back right now either. With Destiny broken on such a fundamental PvE and PvP level right now, I couldn't in good conscience recommend it to someone, especially since that comes coupled with the lowest population numbers to date. Destiny isn't the Destiny we all grew to love right now, and until Bungie gets off their high horse, it won't be.
As far as The Last of Us goes, you are going to have a hard time convincing me that it isn't one of the top 5 games on PS4, considering it's probably my all time favorite game. But I'm a bit of a Naughty Dog homer since the first Uncharted, you know, before it was cool. But in that frame of mind I would also recommend The Uncharted Collection and Uncharted 4 if someone had somehow missed those games. Also, Bloodborne if you like Dark Souls games, and Infamous Second Son is decent if you liked the first 2. I haven't played Rachet and Clank or Until Dawn, but I hear good things about those as well. For the most part though, this generation has been about 3rd parties, and those are the games that have shined. PS4 and XOne exclusives have been slim and for the most part pretty poor.
