Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

@Kidfried Personally I would to wait to buy any dlc until I'm nearer finishing the game. I've mentioned before that I've got a poor record of buying dlc, with buying it and by the time I've finished the main game I've had enough of it. I usually have good intentions of going back to but most of the time never do. Think is especially true for longer games. For example, I was playing the dlc for Borderlands 2 yesterday and I wasn't really enjoying it as I've just recently beat the Pre sequel. It felt like a bit of a slog.
The dlc for Orgins is frequently popping up the sales I've noticed, so you could always wait to see how you feel when you are closer to finishing the game?

@Kidfried Loved Origins and played the DLC back-to-back around nine months after I completed the base game.

The second piece is definitely the more interesting of the two packs as it incorporates many mythological elements. It's also much more substantial to boot, with a great new location to explore in Thebes and the Valley of the Kings. The first pack feels more like an extra slice of vanilla Origins, which isn't a bad thing, though as a result carries fewer surprises. As with a lot of DLC neither pack felt entirely "necessary" given how nicely the end of Origins wrapped things up, but at the same time it was nice to be back in Egypt and Bayek's shoes.

Thinking about getting Spider-Man in the sale. Is the DLC worth paying the extra $10 for the Deluxe Edition?

@Ralizah I enjoyed the DLC for Spiderman as much as the main game. It pretty much gave me more of the game I enjoyed. For $10 it's definitely worth it.

@Ralizah I thought the DLC fine at best. It was pretty much just more of the same with a few new enemies. A bit like the discussion elsewhere on the forum over Assassin's Creed DLC, I went straight into it after the main game and felt it dragged but if you were coming back to it after a bit of time away from the game then I imagine it would be more fun.

I've only played the base game @Ralizah and I kinda held off the DLC as it didn't seem to vital to play, plus I heard it was just more of the same from various reviews across the net

Really enjoyed the game mind you... I assume the season pass/DLC is like 15 dollars if not on sale (And I think that's been on sale a few times) so you could just get the base game now and the pass later if Spidey takes your fancy

Guys and gils I really need your help. Does all my progression deletes if I delete the game from PS4 hardware?

@ZeroOverOne Nope, unless you delete the save data too, if you install the game again your progress will be ok.

@JohnnyShoulder Thanks dude

I do that all the time. When I reinstall the game all the save games are there.

@ZeroOverOne See my post above. Thanks

@Davehunt Although I’m really bad at math, if my estimation of your available funds is correct (accounting for conversion to known currency values), then you probably can buy almost all the games in your list. I guess the real question is should you. I agree with @RogerRoger ‘s recommendations above, so I won’t reiterate, but depending on your available time, you could probably keep yourself really busy for months with a cocktail of AC Odyssey, GTAV, and Witcher 3. In fact, it would probably be good to just do one of those plus Bloodborne for the variety. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games this generation, hands down, but it really takes a high level of commitment to work through the early hours of frustration. I hear that Sekiro is similar in it’s steep learning curve, so I would recommend BB to try instead because it’s 1/3 the price right now. If you liked the prior Uncharteds, then pick up UC4 and UC Lost Legacy for sure. Both are fantastic imo.
I’d say that either Days Gone or Spider-Man would be safe, as those are of a similar ilk as well, although thematically different the basic game set up is common with the open world third person narrative adventure.
Given the games you have interest in, might I also suggest looking at: Tomb Raider, Rise of the TR, Shadow of the TR, and Horizon Zero Dawn. All wonderful 3rd Person action adventure exploration games.
So in summary, if I had to say just 5 games to try based on what you have and are interested in — then I would say Bloodborne, The Uncharted 1-4 (to include Lost Legacy), Horizon Zero Dawn, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, Witcher 3, and maybe GTAV since everyone apparently owns that and if you don’t have GTAV in your library then you’re an outcast like me 😉

@RogerRoger Lol, at least there’s two of us in the world.

But please, don’t tell me GTAV has a sentient flying turquoise Ford Anglia - a la Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets. That might be when I’d have to relent. 😅

Replying to @Th3solution & @RogerRoger ‘ in the end I had a bigger budget than expected and believe i'll be tied down for awhile now with games! the list i went with is below.
Grand Theft Auto V
Sekiro
Remnant: From the Ashes
Batman: Return to Arkham
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Marvel's Spider-Man
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Bloodborne
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Horizon Zero Dawn
On TOP of the Games I already had which was.
Resident Evil 2
God of War
Red Dead Redemption 2
WWE 2K19
The last Of Us Remastered
FIFA 19
As for Previous games of Uncharted and previous consoles like PS3,PS2 I aint played a console since PS1. I've mainly been a PC Guy since 2000 so ye thought i'd have a change and join the PS4 club I was gonna buy Division 2 / Pre order Modern warfare as love CoD but i am strugglin atm to adapt from PC to Console with shooting games... so Ye thanks for helping me guys and sorry about posting in the wrong section before.

@Davehunt That's certainly a lot of game!!

There's also the Uncharted collection you could play before doing 4.

@KALofKRYPTON next on my list would be another Sports Game but also would like a Racing car game aswell if ppl can recommend some i'd appreciate that. I mean when I did play console many many years ago I was a Gran Turismo, Ridge racer, Colin Mcrae Rally, Rage racer kinda guy.

@Davehunt I'd love to recommend DriveClub, because it's an awesome game. Great looking, sim side of arcade handling model that feels brilliant. But I can't if you want a multiplayer experience as the servers are due to shut down soon. Single player content is plentiful though.

WipEout Omega Collection is probably the best racing game out there for my money. The Dirt games are well regarded, but I've very little experience with them.

I only have the base game @Frigate but it's quite a challenge and there's a lot to learn like where to position your team members, working out the best skill setups and the likes.

I really like the visual style and the gothic, lovecraftian setting is pretty neat too. Plus the narrator is pretty hammy & loves chewing the scenery.

There's a sequel coming if I remebrr right and I think there's some WW set game that has lovingly ripped it off lol

So... Certainly needs some investment to get to grips with it and it's systems and there's some repetition with the
dungeons

There's a bunch of different settings to make it a bit easier like enemies not leaving corpses (that might mess up enemy placements)

Been a while since I booted it up though... Could do if you want some more info?

Well I hope you get along with it @Frigate !

Enjoy and feel free to '@' me if ya need any help. Though I didn't get too far in it before putting it down and honestly need to get back to it myself at some point :')
