Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

Nioh. Finally. It's crazy to me this game released over two years ago. I remember it releasing, thinking to myself "I'll pick it up soon." Time passes way too fast.

@Tjuz You're in for a treaaaaat with all of those. Let me know what you think of them!

@Kidfried Nioh is great fun. The weapon stance mechanic is quite neat and really allows you to mix the combat up.

The exploration and boss fights are just as fun/infuriating as the Dark Souls games.

@Kidfried I did already complete and post my thoughts on the first BioShock in the ''games you've recently beat'' thread if you're interested! BioShock 2 is probably going to be my next priority for now.

@Tjuz Is Zero going to be your first Yakuza game? If so, welcome to the club and enjoy the ride!

@Thrillho Zero will be my first Yakuza game, yes! I've never played any kind of Japanese games, but Yakuza 0 has always interested me and it might be a nice introduction to that side of gaming too. Hopefully I'll enjoy it!

@Thrillho That's... exactly what I'm looking for!

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition. I also pre-ordered Borderlands 3.

@Tjuz great game one of my favourites.

OK so I haven't posted in here for aaaaaagggeees. So I have treated myself over the last week.

428 Shibuya
The Show 18
Tiny Traks (psvr)
Celeste
Nubula
Street Basketball

A decent mix of games altogether coming in at under £50. Can't wait to play more Celeste tonight.

Just Bought Romancing Saga 2 and decided to give Sekiro a try since i keep hearing people say its harder then dark souls lol

@Frigate I've been meaning to try this series for 3/4 years. It was only £15 for last seasons edition so why not?

I know Baseball. Don't get me wrong I haven't watched a match for years. When it was on Channel 5 late night Derek Jeter, Ichiro, Barry Bonds, Maguire, it was around then. So years ago really.

It's misunderstood in Britain. That said every American game is over here. I love American Football but that gets great coverage on Sky, unlike the other main American sports. I dislike both Ice Hockey and Basketball - that's personal preference, I can watch a game and admire the skill but both Baseball and American Football are just better games imo.

@Frigate @themcnoisy It’s interesting because of the big 4 professional leagues in the U.S., American Football / NFL is really the only one with limited international appeal.
Baseball has quite a following in Asia and especially South America. Most of the best players in the MLB are from Latin America and Japan and Korea have sent many over as well.
Basketball I really feel is an international sport at present. The US barely dominates international play anymore and there are so many European players in the NBA now. Basketball is apparently huge in China too.
And the NHL is pretty well dominated by Eastern European and Canadian players.

Anyways, as an American, MLB is probably the league I am the least interested in. But I’ve always heard The Show is a fantastic rendition. If I liked baseball even a little bit more I would probably try it. The slowness of the game seems to lend itself to be the least ‘video gamey’ of the sports, so I’m curious how they make it work. Hope you enjoy it!

@Areus It's not more difficult than the SoulsBorne games imo, just requires a different way of thinking on how you combat enemies.

@JohnnyShoulder I know it isn't i mostly said it as a joke cause when it came out everyone and there grandma made videos and news articles about how the game might be harder then dark souls and bloodborne lol

I bought Hollow Knight to see how purchasing games using the PS app works in preparation of the Dreams early access. I wish I was joking. At least it isn't a bad game, right?

I got Hollow Knight in the sale the other day. I'll probably play it in 2023.

@Octane Why are you preparing to purchase Dreams? It's not a LRG Vita cartridge that'll disappear two minutes after it goes live.

Hollow Knight is fantastic. Great level design. Fair, but challenging, difficulty curve. Gorgeously animated, with evocative visual design. Tons of content. etc.

@Ralizah Because it will be limited, and going by the last two beta invites, limited means extremely limited. ''There will be enough copies for everyone'', I've heard that before

I'm buying it the minute it goes live. If I'm not at home, I'll use the PS app.

Good to know. Hollow Knight was part of their Spring Sale, and I couldn't let it pass for that price.

@Ralizah And now my reply doesn't make sense anymore, hah!

@Octane Edit button. Still kinda my fault, though, so I restored what I previously deleted. But now your second reply about the first message not making sense doesn't make any sense.

I looked it up after posting. I can't believe it's limited. This is going to be a total mess.

@Octane When is D Day again?
