@JJ-firl It's better to play 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors and Virtue's Last Reward before playing Zero Time Dilemma. ZTD will assume that you already know certain characters and the general story from the previous games, so the game will be more confusing to someone new to the series. ZTD might spoil some of the twists from the other ones.
And besides, 999 is my favourite of the series, but a lot of people view VLR as the best one.
@nessisonett@crimsontadpoles Thanks for the replies, you both confirm the consensus on the matter so the last question is off the table. I guess I’ll get the PS4 version as the current discount price is too good. Gonna try some remote play and see how that works out.
The series is already establishing its core theme: life is unfair. (Yes, I just compared not getting a game on my preferred console with horrible deaths and despair).
@JJ-firl I played the Nonary Games on Vita, and you’re right, it’s a great couple games for a portable. It should still be a wonderful experience on the bigger screen via PS4 though. There are certain aspects that are actually better with the 3DS version because of the two screens showing two perspectives. What the Vita version does (and I’m assuming the PS4 version too) is switch back and forth, which was fine and I didn’t notice any problem with how it functioned, and only found out later after I completed it that the 3DS version was different (and arguably better) in this regard. But as for Vita version vs PS4, it should be pretty much the same. If you have a NIntendo 3DS, you might check and see if it’s cheaper on that though.
@JohnnyShoulder mate, I’ve quit so many games because the music sucked. Or because there isn’t any music at all. Take Dirt for instance, would it kill them to include an in race soundtrack for those who want it? I don’t care if it isn’t “authentic”. I know I can just play Spotify but that isn’t the point 😂
Likewise, a good soundtrack can elevate a good game to a great one, and a great game to godlike one. Take Nier, Fez and Hyper Light Drifter (I cant stop mentioning this holy trinity recently) - great games that became next level masterpieces as a result having some of the best soundtracks this generation!!
@JohnnyShoulder Thumper was codeveloped and the OST was recorded by the bassist from Lightning Bolt! They’re insane and mad and seeing them live is incredible.
Can anyone vouch for The Sims 4? I think I played a little bit of one of the Sims games years ago as a kid on a PC. I remember it being entertaining at the time as a good time-sink distraction. But life was simpler then, as were video games. I’m pretty sure the gameplay will seem boring to me now that I am used to traveling through space and fighting aliens, jumping and swinging like a superhero, and visiting fantastic strange and magical worlds in my games. Nevertheless, with it being available as a Plus title, I actually considered putting it into the backlog. Seems like such a “filthy casual” type of game though. 😜

@Th3solution I've played a bit of Sims 4 on PC. It was alright, but I got bored of it fairly quickly. My biggest issue was that the base game felt fairly basic and mundane. There's a lot of expansion packs that probably livens the game up, but I've not tried them.
@Th3solution It’s great with expansions up to Seasons, and feels lacking without. The new University one is great too but you might want to look into which DLCs are necessary. The base game is sorta terrible and empty. I have PC and lax morals and hate EA so you can probably guess what I do when a new DLC comes out.
Would be cool to make the PushSquare forums in Sims form, though. I wonder who'd snap and murder everybody first? It'd be the only inevitable outcome.
Haha! Well I‘m not sure who that would be, but I do know who would be the first to die an unfortunate death by fire while trying to fix the toilet 😂 @kyleforrester87
@crimsontadpoles@nessisonett Good to know. I’ll probably have it way down on the backlog, just in case.
If you do try it @JohnnyShoulder , then let us know how it turns out.

@Th3solution I remembered after my last post, i played a Sims game on 360 and can only mirror what others have said in regards in that it did not hold my interest for very long. I found it to be an annoying experience eventually having to look after your sim and listen to all the gobble de gook talking.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@kyleforrester87 Ah man, that was brilliant. The visual it brought up in my mind is priceless.
Perhaps it’s so funny to me because I tried to fix my sink a few months ago and just about drowned myself.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@DonJorginho RDR2 without a doubt. That’s a crazy price for what’s essentially a 100 hour epic. Even if you haven’t played the first, it sets up the events well enough that you could realistically play this one first.
