Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@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.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Just so you know, you can only play Oblivion on PS4 through PS Now.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Honestly, Bethesda are like Konami for me at this point, I’m not that fussed about new entries in series because they’ll just mess it up. Skyrim’s still fun even this many years on though, mostly due to the writing and general jankiness. My playthroughs usually go through main story up until you get Fus Ro Dah and then I peace out and spend 400 hours bashing wolves or hunting Daedric artifacts.

@nessisonett I have switched to Dark Souls 2 now, I beat 3 a few months ago and just defeated The Last Giant. I'm stumped as to where to go next though, I hear Majula and then down some stairs to a water-filled area may be the next step.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic You can go a few different ways but I recommend Majula then to Heide, which might be where you’re referring to, I played DS2 once and by this point you all already know my feelings on it 😂

Ugggggh why do I keep forgetting to save in NieR Automata? ... I saved practically every fifteen minutes or so in Divinity... Fudging two hours gone down the drain now 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy You didn’t eat the mackerel did you?

But yeah, really annoying to have to manually save so much in that game.
