Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Is it worth Rebuying the game on PS4 in order to get the DLC for those of us who played the base game on PS3?

Hmmm... Enter the Dominatrix and How The Saints Saved Christmas are rather short (An hour or so each)

EtD is framed as a documentary/behind the scenes look of the game with the cast as a bunch of actors, going over some deleted scenes of "how SR4 was originally going to be" (a nod to it's original development as an expansion for Saint's Row 3).

Did make me chuckle once or twice but I found it to be a bit too juvenile personally and as a whole it felt kinda throwaway compared to the actual game.

How The Saint's Saved Christmas is better (And slightly longer with some actual new areas) but it's still a bit ho-hum overall.

If you bought SR4 Re-Elected for £4 like I did you'd no doubt get your money's worth and then some @Ryall (the stable framerate is nice too compared to the PS3's wobbly release) and I'd have easily paid a tenner or even full price just to replay the main game.

But if you're wanting it really just to experience the DLC... £16 (it's usual price) for SR4 Re-Elected would be a bit much to me.

The DLC guns, powers & costumes don't add a lot to the core experience for me personally and as I said the main meat of the DLC is so so. Interesting enough while you're playing them, but forgettable and not to scratch compared to the main experience.

It depends of course on how you're viewing it really.

With Housemarque being in the news lately I decided to redownload Resogun and man that game us still phenomenal! Stayed up way too late trying to get high scores lol. Shame it never got any pro enhancements but still imo the best ps4 launch game by a good margin!

Am currently tackling another game on my backlog as Yakuza 0 didn't arrive on time in Nier Automata and MY GOD what a game.

Am only 6 hours in but is one of the most unique gaming experiences I have ever had, the diversity in gameplay and tones is so refreshing after so many AAA games getting repetitive after a few hours, and the story and characters are so interesting.

The music is impeccable too, one of the best scores I have heard in a game.

@RogerRoger It is one of the most fresh gaming experiences I have ever had, it is that good.

@DonJorginho Nier is a pretty special game and one it’s always fun to hear people’s thoughts on as they finish each run.

The second play through can be a bit tedious but the third is what makes the game even more amazing.

@DonJorginho Like @Thrillho says, the greatest part is yet to come! Like others told me when I first played NieR Automata, my only regret is that I can’t experience it for the first time ever again. It’s that special.

LEGO Jurassic World - Believe it or not my first LEGO game. It's actually a pretty competent puzzle platformer, and as a fan of the movies it's been a fun romp so far.

Tetris Effect - Been playing this in VR and it's brilliant, which is saying something as I'm generally not a big fan of straight up puzzlers like this. It's a mesmerizing experience and maybe my favorite VR title since Astro Bot. Even at the easiest setting it can get pretty challenging though, as there's been a few times when the speed really gets going I've been barely saved by activating "focus mode", or whatever it's called.

@KratosMD Birth By Sleep not hard? The Secret Episode final boss on Critical is one of the hardest moments in any game I’ve ever played. Ventus’ story is hilarious since you get Mini in the first world and lets you steamroll everything except the bosses. Terra’s final boss is insanely cheap and annoying, not in the fun way. Aqua’s at least good but her final boss is also hard. None of the KH games are particularly great on Standard as they truly shine in Critical. That boss can go die in a hole though.

@KratosMD I dunno, BBS basically funnels you through easy peasy Disney worlds then hits you with a monster of a boss every so often. It’s more inconvenient than hard given that it’s the only game in the series I have to grind for a couple of hours just to beat. At least my many playthroughs help me streamline the turgid grinding by finding new ways to speed it up.

I have recently started Resident Evil VII, I have just watched the Derelict Footage video and saved the game, y'know, right at the beginning. So it's good, I hear the first half is much better than the second.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I literally finished it yesterday. The first half is brilliant but scary af. The second half is a bit linear but still great. Enjoy your time with it!

Playing Days Gone and enjoying what little I've played of it so far, but the real surprise is that after 2 failed starts at Hyper Light Drifter over the years I'm off and running. Having just beat my first boss third time really is the charm. I think I was probably distracted by too many shiny Triple A games during my last few attempts!

@MightyDemon82 @Kidfried Take your time, every mechanic clicks at a certain time and every click is so satisfying.

When I mastered the groove of the dash was, pardon my French, borderline orgastic.

@JJ-firl @kidfried just beat the boss at the north of the map, took a few goes but he's down. Really enjoying the game now!

@MightyDemon82 Nice one! The fact that you can try again instantly helps fighting off the frustration.

I talked about the mechanics clicking but now that I think of it, I never got the shooting down as much as I wanted tbf.

@RogerRoger If you do ever get round to play Assassin's Creed Origins, you be glad to know that you do not have to hunt wild animals to get the leather to craft stuff. You can get it off traders or loot it from some soldiers that are transporting it.

I have gone back to Spiderman for the City That Never Sleeps DLC as I fancied some webslinging and I'm into the second part but the difficulty on the side missions seems to have spiked massively. Clearing out warehouses with the brutes with mini guns and the guys with shields is never ending. The actual game missions aren't that bad.

@nessisonett I just killed Jack and unlocked the door to the main hall. Loving the interior of the mansion. What did you think about the change from third to first-person?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I find it a whole lot scarier than both other styles they’ve had. I really like the first person perspective but I think it makes the combat a lot easier. Although, having to stop dead in your tracks to shoot in the other ones doesn’t make much sense.
