Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

@Ralizah: You'll definitely appreciate it more having played others first but I don't think it matters hugely.

Like @SteveButler2210 said VIII is a brilliant game but it is very very long. If you still have a PS2 that is the best way to play it currently. The DS remakes of IV, V and VI are very good and are now available on Google Play and iOS. Of those my favourite is V, probably one of the best RPGs I've played. One thing I will say about the Dragon Quest games is that they are resolute in how traditional they are, unlike Final Fantasy which usually makes big changes between instalments.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm going to a con soon, so I'll probably be able to find DQVIII there.

@Ralizah: What con are you going to if you don't mind me asking?

Not at all. I'm attending GMX (Geek Media Expo) in Nashville. I also attend MTAC (Middle Tennessee Anime Convention) and, some years, Gencon.

Although, honestly, nothing measures up to Nan Desu Kan, which I attended almost religiously when I lived in Colorado.

Nice, I hope you have fun. I wish we got as many cons on the West Coast as you all on the East.

Hi guys! I've recently ordered a PS4 bundle as a Christmas present for myself, annoyingly with the Uncharted collection (darn you early December beta!) and was wondering what games (preferably going cheap nowadays) you'd recommend. The bundle has LBP3, Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Watch_Dogs.

@the-madprofessor: If you get in there before the sale finishes tomorrow, you can get Metro Redux on the PSN for £8 something. I'm still on the first game but really enjoying it so far (and for that price you can't go wrong). Also goes without saying that if you never played it on PS3, get The Last of Us Remastered as soon as you possibly can!

Had The Last of Us on PS3 - absolutely loved it, but still need to play Left Behind.
I got Metro 2033 for free on PC from GOG and I did like what I played of it, so I might pick that up. Thanks!

@the-madprofessor:
If you are the least into arcade shooters, buy Resogun. It's short but has fantastic gameplay, is challanging and very addictive! Also check out Rocket league!

@the-madprofessor: Check out PSN as they have alot of fun indie games that don't run too much. Also if your are into fighting games Ultra Street Fighter IV is only 25 dollars I believe. Another get game that you can find for about 20 dollars is InFamous Second Son one of the PS4'S best looking games.

Divinity Original Sin! Just cleared it tonight, took me over 120 hours and the last 10 were a bit of a drag but what a game! Wont be diving back into it in a hurry. Exhausting!

@themcnoisy and a couple of others on here would say so @TripleGK:

There is a demo by the way, but you may find it doesn't do the game justice. Could be worth buying it so you have more reason to invest time into it.

@TripleGK: Buy it. Disgaea 5 will last you all gen. I've stopped at world 4 for a bit - but will dive back in next year. But with Disgaea that's fine in my opinion. As you like anime you will be fine with the aesthetics - just be aware its still Disgaea so the graphics are pixelated at times and a bit old school for some tastes. That said the gameplay is great and perfect for some tactical chess like downtime. Depending on the price and also dependant if you have played it before - Disgaea 4 may be more suitable as it was only £10 in a sale recently. But as the only real option other than xcom to come to consoles in recent times if you can find it for a fair price order it!

If you want a decent warriors game - One Piece Pirates Warriors 3 is pretty good.

It has more in common with a regular Dynasty Warriors game than a lot of the spin offs (gundam / fist etc) due to the gameplay tenants being ported almost identically - although the levelling and skills are upgraded a tad differently. The stages are a bit basic but there's none of the weird blurring going on that inhabited the extreme legends game I played early this year. Luffy is a great character and I can understand the allure of the anime franchise now - because I too want to become the greatest pirate in the world.

@TripleGK: Definitely a tine sink. I've put loads of time into really stupid things - item world in a bog standard gun for about 6 hours, replaying the first chapter 3/4 times to get better at the attacks, trying to keep my lower levelled characters up in exp. All a waste of time when other things open up later on, its on my radar to play alongside Driveclub and Witcher 3 in January.

I need a good fps. Any recommendations from the ps store sale? Thanks in advance!

@DestinationPs: In my opinion, the best story driven FPS on PS4 is Wolfenstein New Order (£9.49), and the best online FPS on PS4 is Destiny (£24.99).

@kyleforrester87: Ok, thanks! I've been interested in Wolfenstein the New order for a while, maybe it's time to buy it now. Have you played battlefield 4? Have been on the fence many times with that one.

@DestinationPs: at that price, new order is highly recommended. It's up there with Half-Life for me. But maybe the story won't resonate with everyone so well.

I didn't care for Battlefield, the story was very average and the multiplayer is more at home on PC as far as I'm concerned. But loads of people play it, and the network issues that surrounded it at launch are all sorted as far as I'm aware, so maybe it's up your street. Not really played any CoD but I reckon I'd take that over Battlefield if I had to choose personally. Of course, the best tactical online shooter will always be CounterStrike on PC

@kyleforrester87: Sounds great, you have convinced me about Wolfenstein. Halflife is the best fps I have ever played and I don't think the story is that important in fps games, gameplay is what really matters imo.
