Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

I've finally got back round to FFVII remake, for some reason I stopped at chapter 3. I will say going back at times it looks great but a lot of it looks appalling, as if much of the game is missing, I even managed to turn Clouds light off by turning the camera and the game seemingly forgot there was a light in the room.

Its still a very good game and most of the time it doesn't matter and looks fine but it does show that at times Square's standards are pretty sloppy

I was cruising through Nioh 2, thinking I'm God's gift to samurai warriors. Then I came up against this snake boss at the end of the third mission, and it's kicking my arse. Which, technically, is not something a snake should be able to do.

@carlos82 I got to about Chapter 9 and haven’t gone back. I was hyped for about 5 or 6 years but a lot of it felt kinda messy idk. The combat’s pretty good and some of the story’s good but I personally just didn’t like the weird changes they made so that it’s all meta or whatever. I’ll finish it eventually 😂😂

@carlos82 yeah I’m playing FF9 right now, it’s crazy how low the standards have dropped with the franchise. FF7 Remake is okay but what I wouldn’t give to go back to the PS1 era of these games! There is no substitute for the original, but it’s nice to play as an extra.

I played again for 30 minutes the other day, I think I am pretty close to the Shinra building.

I do love seeing Midgar from this perspective, daylight coming under the edges of the plate viewed from the slums looks dope. Then you get some basic NPC in dungarees sending you off to find a cat and it’s like ehhh.

It was finally time: I got all 3 Trails of Cold Steel in PS4 and I began... I beat the 1st game and started the 2nd.

@kyleforrester87 the last thing I did today was find 3 white cats, then went home to find my accommodation was in PS2 land


We're a long way from the PS1 glory days

@carlos82 By the way, that door isn’t a bug, it just looks that low-res. I also did a double take when I saw it for the first time. Just wait until you get to a certain NPC just outside that sector, their mouth makes literally no sense when you hear the noises coming out of it!

@nessisonett I don't suppose it helps that I've just come from a game who paid 3 people to animate a rope to a game that couldn't even be bothered to paint a door 😅

@carlos82 I loved FFVIIR quite a bit, but there's a lot of sloppiness in the backgrounds. Late in the game, there's a big moment where you're looking out over a section of Midgar, and it's literally a super low-res JPEG or something. It looked like a backdrop from the PS1 game.

Also, Aerith's flowers in the garden near her house are really, really bad. The models look like something out of a PS2 game.

And I'm not generally a person bothered by budget-y shortcuts in video games.

Never played a game in this series before, but I have to say, I absolutely love old Playstation JRPGs with really corny vocal tracks.

I also quite like the song that apparently plays at the end of the game.

I love the instrumentals in that track, especially the bell sound or whatever it's supposed to be.

Wild Arms 3 isn't something I've heard of before, but this wouldn't be the first time that a killer song has caused me to look into a game.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy lol I have literally just finished slagging off a friend for recently playing Wild Arms 3 to completion instead of Final Fantasy 9 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Thanks. Yep, I'm really liking the music style for this game.

In the final stretch of Dark Souls 2, just got Burnt Ivory King, Sir Alonne and Nashandra/Aldia left. Anyone know if it’s possible to beat the final boss but hold off on NG+? I seem to remember starting NG+ in Majula instead of it being automatic but I want to save Sir Alonne for last.

Well that’s Burnt Ivory King, Nashandra and Aldia down. Almost disappointingly, I beat Nash and Aldia without dying, in a row. It’s such a disappointing final boss compared to Gwyn. I know you can just parry Gwyn but Nashandra literally just does a feeble little swipe at you and my Blacksteel Katana made quick work of her. Aldia is a bit disappointing too, I didn’t even get hit. You just poke him, walk away, avoid a fire attack, repeat. Just Sir Alonne and then I can finally be truly done with this trilogy. Yes, I beat Darklurker, even the super secret bosses have fallen to my sword!

And with that, the trilogy is complete.

@nessisonett Praise the sun!

Horizon Zero Dawn

@nessisonett Congratulations dude, you must feel really proud of yourself. Sir Alonne's head is finally yours!
Since I couldn't be there with you, just imagine I left a message for you near his corpse saying "Be wary of a swollen head".

I'm currently playing God Of War (2018) .Does New Game Plus add much besides Zeus Armor? I am currently in Tyr's secret vault, the second one you encounter later in the game.
