@Th3solution The first person perspective adds a lot more immersion imo. I can't imagine playing it in VR however, I think that would be too much for me.
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.
@JohnnyShoulder I don’t know. I keep reading about how brilliant RE7 is and how stoked everyone is for RE2 Remake and I wonder to myself, “what am I missing?” My small taste of RE and other horror games over the years has me with mixed feelings. I agree with @KratosMD that the type of horror game in which the gameplay and story are the focus and just happens to be set in a creepy environment, that type of game can be great. If the horror is just enough to build a little tension in which the gameplay can be maximally enjoyed (a la Bloodborne), then I’m all over that. If the game exists just to scare your pants off, then I’d rather not. Sounds like RE7 leans toward the super scary side. I’m sure RE2 will as well.
But yes, thanks for recommendations guys. I hate to miss out on one of the top games of this generation, but I might have to pass. I’ll try the demo one day if I’m in the mood.
Speaking of creepy and gameplay ...Another question — Shadow of War. How highly would someone recommend that? Black Friday sale for $10, so I’m giving it a look. I liked Shadow of Mordor reasonably well, but was ready to move on by the end. Probabaly about a 7 out of 10 for me. I hear SoW was better, but it fell out of the public consciousness fairly quickly and is rarely ever talked about.

@Th3solution Resi Evil 7 is more about the tension and creepy atmosphere than flat out jump scares (although it has those, just doesn't rely one em iirc). I was also surprised on how gory it was in places too. I just found it used horror very effectively, something which even recent movies fail to deliver.
I'm in the same camp with SoW, the first game was my first proper platinum but I was put of with all the talk of the end game grind and microtransactions for the sequel. I know a lot of that has been corrected, but I have a feeling that will go on my pile of games which are too long to even consider start playing.
@Th3solution I loved the first Dead Space game as that got the balance of story, action, and scares just right. The general sense of dread was spot on. Subsequent games went too much towards action for me.
I also haven’t played Shadow of War despite loving the first game. Like @JohnnyShoulder all the microtransaction stuff put me off (it’s now been removed) and the army building mechanic sounding tedious, even if it was something I enjoyed doing more naturally in th first game.
@Th3solution if you don't like games which make you grind for the true ending then don't buy shadow of war. I played it, it's good but to get to the true ending you have to grind a lot and I just didn't bother. It felt like a waste of time. They even streamlined it a lot in later patches but I stil didn't enjoy it. So take that into consideration.
@Th3solution I doubt he's played the games so the remasters would be a good shout. Any recommendations are greatly welcomed as he's mainly been an Xbox gamer for quite a while.
Anyone recommend Kingdom Come Deliverance? Its on sale for $38. Is it worth that price or should I wait for a deeper sale? I know it has some glitches, but I am a big fan of rpgs and this does look fun.
@KratosMD It was cheaper here too on BF, but I had other gifts to prioritize that day. I was very tempted though. I think I will wait for a better sale. Thanks for the advice.
@Elodin I also have targeted KCD for a possible purchase at some point and it does seem like the price is teetering now, so I have decided to wait as well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it for $30 at retail, base price within a couple months, and probably settle in at $20 maybe by mid year. Just a wild guess on my part though.
I have seen the game garner some votes in the GOTY poll so it must be at least decent.

So while I think I'll pass for now on KCD, thanks to @Th3solution and @KratosMD, I started looking at Dead Cells for $20. Anyone recommend that game? Im right on the edge of buying it. I'm thinking of holding off for another game sale on psn in the coming days. I'm targeting $20 TO $30 price range for God of War, KCD, or Nier. Or waiting for Red Dead redemption 2 or Spiderman at $40. Im only allowing myself one game before xmas so... should I gamble and hold off on Dead Cells hoping one these other games will be on sale. Or is Dead Cells to good to pass up on?
@Elodin Dead Cells was utterly addictive for me with its gameplay and feeling that you can get that little bit further next time. As @Kidfried says though, if you’re trying to be cautious with your cash, it seems a little steep compared to some of the other offers you’re hoping for.
If it’s that or nothing though, I’d say go for it!
@Elodin I'm also waiting for dead cells sale, and after paying 12 for hollow knight, whxjh released later and had even bigger sale, I have no intention paying 20 for dead cells. That's too steep for me, but I can't wait for a good sale to get that game.
@Thrillho@Kidfried@NecuVise Thank you all for responding. I know I did miss some BF sales, but I had other gifts to get at that time. Based on what everyone said, I think I will hold off for a better sale.
Has anyone played Darkest Dungeon on PS4? I've read that controls aren't the best so any thoughts on that? I'd rather play it on ps4 in my living room than on PC in my working room, especially when it's so long, but if controls aren't good I'd rather not waste my money. So anyone?
