Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

@Kidfried The Last Of Us Remastered? That’s ok, it’s priced accordingly. Thank you.

@RogerRoger Thanks very much for the helpful feedback!

@klky No problem, man. Both TLOU and UC4 are great games. Arkham Knight's really good too except that gameplay can get pretty repetitive at times.

How are the .Hack RPGs? They currently have a big sale going on for PS+ members, and they have a collection of .Hack RPGs for $15 (it consists of 3 remastered PS2 games, and a 4th entry newly made just for the collection, though I'm not sure how big that last one is).

I usually prefer to grab previous gen remasters on Switch, but this seems like a lot of content for a great price (and of course the collection isn't currently on Switch).

After checking my funds, I decided to buy that .Hack collection that's on sale. Probably won't play it soon since I recently completed Tales of Zestiria, but I'm excited to eventually try it nonetheless.

So I am looking to get a PS4 again to play some of the RPGs I missed. Is it worth it you think to dip into the PS4. I have a switch, but the game ports just aren't holding up for me...

@scubydo You’re certainly going to get a biased opinion on here, but I would unequivocally say “Yes!” The only reason not to get a PS4 to catch up on some of the excellent RPGs and other games that have come out recently is if you want to wait for the PS5 since it will be backwards compatible. But it will probably be close to a year and a half until that’s released so I very much would encourage you to get a PS4. If RPGs are your thing, you would have plenty with the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Dragon Quest 11, AC Origins and Odyssey, Bloodborne and all the FromSoftware RPGs, A bunch of Yakuza games, The Witcher 3, ....
So, yeah - there’s plenty. Lots of excellent Western RPGs and even some JRPGs.

Edit: I should have just referred you here:

Scan the list and see if anything strikes your fancy. There’s lots more even after these to make a PS4 well worth your purchase.

Any of you guys play Vampyr on PS4? I played a few hours of it on PC with Game Pass but it ran very poorly for me and I stopped. They have it on sale on PSN right now. If it runs better on console I'll pick it up.

@Splat I played it on an OG Xbox One and it ran fine for me. Not sure if you have a PS4 Pro but I am sure it will run better on that then an OG Xbox One. I have read from several sources that it did run the poorest on PC.

@Tasuki Yeah, I have a Pro. I really don't understand why it ran so poorly for me on PC? My set up is far from a beast but can play most games at high or at the very least mid settings. I was getting really bad performance even on the lowest settings with Vampyr.

@Splat I couldn't tell you I am not techy enough to even begin to understand computers besides the basics, but everyone I know who played it on PC has had problems with it

Hello guys, I am a new one here, I wanna know aht d ya all think about AC Origins? I played Odyssey but story part was lacking. And I heard Origins aint that bad

@ZeroOverOne I absolutely loved Origins. Ancient Egypt has always fascinated me; I really enjoyed seeing and exploring the pyramids and other real-life locations. The world is most definitely the star of the game, and Ubisoft did a great job recreating it.

One flaw is how different parts of the map are effectively gated off by the levels of enemies, so whilst you can go anywhere you like, in practice there is some grinding from side-quests required otherwise it'll be too difficult. Early side quests are quite dull, but they greatly improve as the game progresses. Combat is really fun and I enjoyed the stealth when capturing forts.

The story is decent and feels like quite a personal tale. Bayek is an excellent protagonist. The game is set at the tail end of Hellenistic Egypt during the civil war and Cleopatra's power struggle with her brother, as well dealing with the Romans. The western part of the map is based on Roman settlements in northern Libya.

@mookysam You really make it sound compelling. I’ve had it as a goal to play for a while, along with Odyssey. Did you play Odyssey yet? What’s your take on which is better to play if I could only play one of them? Of course in a perfect world I’d play both, starting with Origins, but the more time trudges on, and PS5 looms, and the number of great games of 2020 get closer, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to devote 200+ hours to one franchise.

@Th3solution Not played Odyssey yet, although I bought it last week and aim to start it next month (if I ever finish Red Dead 2 that is). I actually delayed getting it for so long because of the length of the game. Playing both back to back would be exhausting One aspect that looks really interesting to me is how it incorporates classical mythology.

@KratosMD Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is brilliant. Would absolutely recommend it! The combat (basically the meat of the game) is a lot of fun; I really enjoyed playing as each of characters as they had their own play style. The presentation is incredible too.

@KratosMD Enjoy. I actually played it on the Vita and felt that it ran well but at that price it would be hard to turn down the PS4 version!

@mookysam Thanks so much mate. But what d ya say about the combat in Origins?
Many say that its bad

_{Please watch the language -Tasuki-}

@Th3solution I played AC: Odyssey and all I can say is that its hella long game. I invested 130 hoirs and still have half of all islands not discovered. A very big plus to that game that u can have your own sea sailing team and fight a kraken in a secret mission. Also the DLC is amazing, liked it 'cause it gives more info about the game. If not consider it as a Assassins creed game ya will be fine. One of the biggest minuses is that the story is a joke really, I wanted to like it, but I couldnt. Fighting is more of an RPG style. And Stealth... bloody stealth... If u try to kill someone when they are sleeping and he is higher level then you are... its gonna say not enough damage. Really Ubi? It has nothing to do with Assassins but its one of the gretaest open worlds i have ever seen

Hi guys, did anybody here played Valiant Hearts: The Great War? If yes what d ya say about it?
