Topic: General PlayStation 4 Thread

@Draco_V_Ecliptic You could probably finish the game a dozen times before Elden Ring comes out lol.

Glasgow Northwest is now in Train Simulator 2021. Might get it now, could be a right laugh to see the train lines recreated. My local station isn’t there cause I’m on a different line but the one next door to my old house is. Plus you get those fetching blue ScotRail trains. I do like those trains.

Some interesting stuff here. While not selling as many units as the PS2 it certainly seems like the PS4 is Sony's most profitable console.

@BearsEatBeets I wonder if Plus games are taken into consideration? Because I have a huge number of PS4 games from that. I have a lot otherwise too, but that could skew the numbers a bit.

@Jaz007 From these other ones it seems to exclude Plus games.

@Kidfried yeah physical sales charts aren't anything more than a moderate indicator as to what the best selling games are. Not sure when compared to digital sales charts if the purchasing choices are aligned or not. I thought a good while back that someone was going to track the two formats and combine them for the full picture.

Also I missed out this one about hardware sale prices dropping over time.

@Kidfried Too be fair the media outlets can only report on what is given to them by the companies that track the data. I think Chartrack do it in the UK, and they did say this year they would be do a combined digital and physical chart. The problem is though is is upto the publishers and platform holders to release those figures. Nintendo don't release digital figures and nor do some other publishers, so even if the digital sales were reported on, it would never be a paint the whole picture until everyone plays ball.

@BearsEatBeets The mix of third party vs first party sales is different than I thought it would be. I figured first party would account for more than 17%, but when I look at my own purchases and games played, I’m calculating roughly 20-25% as Sony first party, so I guess that’s correct. I’m likely going lean a little higher than the average population toward the first party franchises, but surprisingly not they much.

Guess who's back,
Back again,
Draco's back,
Tell your friends.

@nessisonett @Thrillho I am planning to break my gaming fast with Hollow Knight tomorrow morning. What games have you and @JohnnyShoulder @Kidfried @Th3solution @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy and @LieutenantFatman been playing in my absence?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I posted over on the other thread about it, but on PS4 I’m playing Valiant Hearts, as well as still playing RE2 with the game club. I think the next game up after I finish this will be God of War, Hitman, Persona 5, or FF7R. I’ll have to see what my mood dictates.

@Th3solution I really hope that you elect to go for God Of War. Get it completed just in time for Ragnarok on the PS5 (The game, not the Norse myth of the end of the world on which it is based). I believe we discussed this before when we were discussing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic
Hey matey, good to see you! Hollow Knight is great, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm still really stuck into Death Stranding, a fair way in now. And I just purchased Celeste in the psn sale so that might be next..

@Draco_V_Ecliptic That was quick!

I finished DOOM: Eternal a week or so ago and haven't been playing much as I've been busy with work and packing to move house. When I've had chance, I've been having a go at the second DLC pack for Two Point Hospital to get that sweet platinum trophy!

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Great to have you back. I've started playing Little Hope. It hasn't been too scary so far, though I suspect that's about to change soon.

@crimsontadpoles Thank you. Is it a survival horror then? How would rate it thus far? Fun? enjoyable? Tell me more.

@Thrillho Hahaha, I know ,couldn't stay away! Anyway, thanks for the way you said farewell to me, that was touching with the Souls reference, very appropriate. Anyway, what do you work as? What's the new place gonna be like? Do you think you'll settle in alright? It's always a weird experience, when you move.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic So you pull on our heart strings, say a sad goodbye, then come back like nothing has ever happened......

I've been playing The Mummy Demastered which is a 2D pixel art metroidvania and is probably better than the film it is based on.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I’ve been playing Metro Exodus, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1&2 on PS4. I’ve mostly been putting hours into Final Fantasy V Advance on GBA and Zero no Kiseki on Vita though.

Oh, gosh.... 😬
I randomly pick Valthirian Arc PS4 version from Tokopedia due to very cheap price and the game will be arrived to my house very soon.

But the problem is i'm not ready yet to play completely never before played game. 😅
I picked that game randomly due to my other order from Tokopedia still had no reply from the seller so i decided to pick other game.
And one more thing...
This game made by Indonesian peoples, from my country Indonesia. 😀

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Little Hope is a story based horror game from the people that made Until Dawn. It involves a group of people who become stranded in a ghost town late at night. There's a thick fog rolling in, and other spooky things going on. The game makes a big deal out of how choices will affect what happens, though I've not played enough to know how true this is.

So far Little Hope is okay, though I'd argue that Until Dawn is the better choice if you're interested in these sorts of games. Little Hope hasn't been that scary yet, though that's starting to change. I think it's going to be more terrifying next time I play it as the story's getting more tense.
