Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@JohnnyShoulder On paper, the Old Iron King sounds like a nightmare since he has hard hitting attacks and there’s lava pits nearby. In reality, it’s far enough into the game that I don’t think you get there without being able to beat him on the first couple of tries. He’s painfully slow and goes down in a few hits. Smelter Knight, on the other hand, is a great boss and genuinely challenging but is entirely optional!

@nessisonett Iirc I did die a couple of times to the Old Iron King cos I was intimidated by his size (ooer), but when I realised you could stand somewhere and his fireballs would miss and then just gank him it was easy peasy.

@RogerRoger Doom 3 lost a lot of its atmosphere when they gave you a permanent flashlight, in the original you had to swap between that and your weapon which made it a lot more tense

@RogerRoger you should try Resident Evil 7 in VR, it's about a nice family who welcome you to their house for dinner, the wife teaches you about bee keeping before you solve some puzzles for their son. Nothing scary at all

Currently playing Dark Souls Remastered and Dragon's Dogma, soul farming in the Grave of Artorias in Dark Souls Remastered and just took on a couple of quests in Dragon's Dogma, beat the first level.

Still playing Persona 5 Royal. 150 hours in and I still have to start the third semester... No chance I'll finish it before my copy of TLOU 2 arrives... 😶

I seem to have accidentally found myself in Drangleic Castle early in Dark Souls 2. I totally forgot you could bypass the other lord souls if you’ve acquired enough souls throughout the rest of the game. Dunno how I managed it but it probably has to do with being forced to run through Iron Keep a million times. I’ll probably head off to Freja anyway though, despite Brightstone Cove Tseldora being a nightmare from what I remember.

@nessisonett Commented elsewhere that Drangleic Castle is one of my fave (non dlc) areas in the game, especially the journey leading up to it. I was trying to get my head round you saying it was early in the game for you, as you seem to playing this forever, but your obviously not souly playing this game. I get my coat.

I’m still going with Yakuza 4 and in the Saejima section at the moment.

I’m quite liking the Fighter Maker minigame but it’s longer than it needs to be.

The Hostess Maker game in Akinaya’s section (also seen in Y3) is so bad though and takes forever to complete; it took the best part of a days worth of play to complete it and get the related trophy.

Did you finish the game @nessisonett as I seem to remember you starting it.

@JohnnyShoulder Ok that was a great pun 😂😂 I actually do quite like Drangleic Castle but I hadn’t been able to bypass the door before without getting the 4 lord souls. I managed to beat both Shaded Woods and Doors of Pharos in half an hour so I’m kinda racing through at this point but yeah, it’s taken me a while because I’ve had other games on like REmake for the Game Club and I try to play a little bit of MLB every night. I will have Sir Alonne’s head though, it’s the only thing keeping me going as I approach Brighstone Cove Tseldora, that bloody sand pit area is the worst.

Just finished RE3 for a third time, this time on hardcore in 1hr 43 minutes so I'll leave that for now. I've played the first few levels of Doom Eternal and I'm not sure how I feel about it, I definitely aren't enjoying it as much as Doom 2016 with its lack of ammo and over reliance on constantly rotating between the chainsaw, shoulder cannon and flamethrower. They just just constantly forced rather than the tactical choices they were before.

I've just picked up Hitman 2 and think its amazing, it offers unbelievable replay value in its stages as you poke and prod the unsuspecting victims into a variety of situations to take them out. So much so the first thing I want to do is replay a level rather than move onto the next.

So I just finished up The Last of Us: Remastered. It’s been a few years & I forgot just how good this game is.
Tried to speed run it, but I always get caught up in the lore. Such a masterclass in story telling. I don’t know how or even if ND will top this, but bring on The Last of Us: Part 2!

I played the first level and immediately bought the expansion pass and then went back and poisoned her tea on stage 1 😉

Now I'm tinkering with a racing car and looking for some fuel to pour in the back of it. I'm loving all of the options you have in this

I've fallen in love with Fez. I bought it dirt cheap absolutely ages ago and sort of forgot about it. But I restarted it the other day and it's fantastic

@Gremio108

@RogerRoger I wouldn't normally but it was on sale for about £6, which made it a very easy decision

Red Dead Redemption 2. One very minor feature that I'm surprisingly fond of is the ability to greet virtually everybody. I've been finding myself saying hello to a lot of the people walking past.

@crimsontadpoles I loved being able to ‘Howdy’ everyone as they walked past. A small touch but really made the game feel alive.

Just finished Spider-Man story for a second time. And now I will continue for 100% completion.

@crimsontadpoles Just so long as you don’t accidentally draw your gun on someone instead and end up wiping out the whole town/reloading your game.
