Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy yeah one more play through until the game starts 👍🏻

@KratosMD I particularly liked the tuneful pedestrian crossing in Okinawa. But you’ll be back in grotty Kamurocho soon enough! And yeah, the new cast are all good value.

Wow, just finished Art's Dream. Fantastic little game may only be between 2-3 hours long but incredibly well done!

I've competed my approximately 500 light year trip in Elite Dangerous during work lunchtimes remote play sessions I've done the travelling as a bit of busy work to set up what will hopefully be a lucrative route/loop once I've gone through a couple of other games.

@KALofKRYPTON
It's fun losing yourself in Elite Dangerous, certainly got my money's worth playing it. I wonder if there's any chance they will enable VR for it on the PS5, that would be an experience.

Made a nice bit of progress in Hollow Knight this afternoon, and while I noticed early on how it borrowed a bit from Dark Souls, it really strikes me now just how much of a love letter this game appears to be to the Souls games.

The interconnected world with all the clever shortcuts, rewarding combat, a world that has seen far better days, where many of the remaining inhabitants have gone mad, the ability to explore certain areas and take on some bosses in a different order, and the intellectual conversation of the few sane who remain. And of course the ability to collect currency after the player has perished, when you revisit the location you died.

But despite all that, it still succeeds in being it's own unique and fascinating game that demands its locations be explored, and mysteries solved.

I just finished up in Soul Sanctum, what a terrifying and exciting place. Where to go next, hmm hmm.

@LieutenantFatman It's such a great game! Not for everyone, but just beyond the various gameplay loops, the serenity of the scenery and travel, the scope of the available galaxy are almost insideous in how they permeate.
Even while I wasn't playing for a few months I was still checking in with Inara.

@LieutenantFatman I think I enjoyed Hollow Knight most in the early hours where you are finding places for the first time. The mechanic of having to find the map maker is one I loved and hated in equal measure but it does add to that tentative feeling when you get to a new area.

It’s hard to know how you’re making progress though as there are so many ways to go through the game other than the roadblocks where you need specific abilities to progress.

@KALofKRYPTON
It is pretty awesome, really does drive home just how terrifyingly big the galaxy is. Will have to jump back in at some point, maybe on the next big update. I like to do a bit of the cqc occasionally when there's some activity.

@Thrillho
Yes, it's quite scary exploring new areas with no map and no bench to rest on, especially as each area becomes more and more dangerous. The temptation to turn back is often quite high, especially when I discover what looks like a boss area.

@LieutenantFatman Never gone in to the PvP cqc. If I make enough coin during this next venture I may try it out.

@KALofKRYPTON
The cqc mode is pretty much completely separate to the main game, so no credits required to jump in, just need to try it when the servers aren't dead.

@LieutenantFatman Ah, I had no idea.

Is it set loadouts then?

@KALofKRYPTON
Pretty much, yes, smallships only. DM, TDM & CTF modes.

@LieutenantFatman Well I never!

Playing Tekken 7 as I'm in between games at the mo and not sure what story focused game to get into next yet. I've completed the story except for the bonus level you unlock, and I've done all the character levels.

I've even ventured online and managed to win a whole 6 matches, which is probably more than I've done in all the last 10 years combined.

Got Star Wars Fallen Order’s Platinum there. It was a good game, beset by excruciatingly offputting technical issues. It would have been an 9 if I didn’t experience just so many issues so it was probably a 7.

Skyrim: Special Edition. I'm doing the Bleak Falls Barrow quest at the moment. What do you guys think of the game?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Skyrim is an absolute classic. It’s coded horribly, with loads of bugs and the like but it somehow is way more than the sum of its parts. I know it’s the ‘expert’ opinion that Morrowind and Oblivion are better but I just love Skyrim’s world and the multitude of side quests. Still haven’t ever done the main story though, it’s rubbish.

@nessisonett I may start exploring the side quests once i've levelled up a bit then. Oblivion is better eh? I know you can get that on the PS4 too. I hear the side quests can go on ad infinitum in Skyrim, no? Also, have you heard much about the sequel? I don't expect we will see it this side of 2020, unfortunately.

Fallout 4 GOTY Edition. The year the bombs dropped in Fallout was 2077 so I'm gonna build a cyberpunk settlement.
