Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

The Sims 4 PS4
Override : Mech City Brawl

@Kidfried
I have bought Island Living bundle in disc and some Expansion packs + Game packs from PSN
Get to Work, Dine Out, Vampires (i hate this add on but i bought it from 3 in 1 pack), Kitchen Stuffs.

Recommended:
All the main Expansion Packs as they are really important.
For Game Packs, i want to take all of them except Star Wars stuff as i really dislike Star Wars and almost Western franchises & superheroes.

@Kidfried The Sims expansions are a nightmare. All the main ones are totally needed like @Anti-Matter says but then there’s loads of smaller ones. It’s not even a new thing for EA, my house is filled with discs for IKEA items in Sims 2 or Diesel clothes in Sims 3.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic it’s been a while since I played but I’d guess you still have like 30-40% of the game left, including the toughest boss. You’re pretty far along though.

@Th3solution I'm assuming that it's toughest boss is the final boss in the game? I really liked that gauntlet of enemies that you had to face before leaving the prison, reminded me of similarly themed events in Fable and God of War |Champion's Arena, Gauntlet of the realms) do you know what I mean?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Never played Fable nor God of War. I really need to get to GoW though. I’ve had it in my backlog for several months now after I bought it on sale, but just haven’t taken the time to play it yet. As for Fable, it is actually one of the game series on Xbox that I’d like to play. Unfortunately I hear the latter sequels have been poorly received so it hasn’t been enough to push me to buy the console.

As for Fallen Order, personally I had the biggest issue with another boss outside of the final one. But there are a couple tough ones coming up for you. Similarly to Soulsborne bosses, some players struggle with certain bosses more than others. I came close to decreasing the difficulty level at one point, but I persevered and finally got past it.

@Th3solution I would really recommend GoW, it's definitely another Souls-like. Fable is amazing too, the original and not the sequels. The Lost Chapters Edition has, obviously, extra chapters, and is just a great game overall, a lot of freedom and choice for an RPG, very similar to The Witcher 3, have you played that one? I believe it took a lot of influence from Fable, in my personal opinion. Really looking forward to those extra tough bosses as a SoulsBorne vet, but, on another level, as a bit of a noob, I am certainly not looking forward to them : (they sound very intimidating from your description.)

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Yeah, I didn’t really click with Witcher 3 on my first attempt. I started it and it was pretty decent, but for some reason I didn’t stick with it beyond the opening 5 or 6 hours. I think part of it was it was beginning to show its age slightly and it was also so overwhelming with all the map markers. And I felt also out of touch with its lore, having never read the books nor played the first two games. I’ve not ruled out returning to the game eventually though.

As a Soulsborne vet I think you’ll do fine on the bosses coming up. As a Souls pleb, I was able to get by so you’ll hardly break a sweat. 😄

@Th3solution @nessisonett @RogerRoger I am currently exploring the gorgeous Flora & Fauna of Kashyyyk during my second trip to the planet and have recently acquired the ability to breathe underwater! @Th3solution ,is my epic boss fight coming up soon?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Actually if I recall, you still have a little ways to go before you run into what I found to be the most challenging conflict. (By the way, I know the game’s been out for a while but you might want to mark a spoiler tag on your post there revealing one of the late game locations and skills. I’m not sure if some people may want to be surprised by that. 😄

@Th3solution How do I put spoiler tags on my posts?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic
Like this:

(spoiler)then write the text to be blacked out here(/spoiler)

Except instead of round parentheses ( ) you’ll need to put the squared brackets [ ].

Try it out. I’m definitely going to want to read your impressions once you get to the late game, so it’ll be useful to be able to spoiler tag text so you can speak freely about some things! 😄

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Did you think that Dark Souls 3's plot was quite similar to Dark Souls Remastered's? With the Lord Souls in Dark Souls 1 and the Lord of Cinder Souls in Dark Souls 3

@Th3solution I have been playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and exploring Dathomir and taking on the nightbrothers and undead nightsisters, I just took down Gogara and have put it down for the time being because I don't want to get frustrated like I did yesterday when I spent a huge amount of time wandering around in the swamp before I found the right way to go, oh, and I just acquired the climbing claws. The fight with Gorgara was epic and excellent, you know where you're flying through the air and have to grab onto him in order to avoid a grisly death and reminded me of something out of God of War, which I recommend again, it's really worth your time if you like this sort of game, this game really is brilliant though and worth every penny, and also a fine epilogue to my time on the PS4.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Oh yes, that was a great sequence! Glad you continue to enjoy it. by acquiring the climbing claws you are able to access a few more routes and areas. Do you reckon you’ll go back to re-explore some other planets to try to clear out the maps or just keep pushing through to the end first? I think I tried to complete as much as I could on all the maps before moving on the story, but I think there was still a few areas on one or two of the worlds that I just never was able to complete because it was too much of a hassle. So I never got the collectibles and therefore didn’t get the platinum.

@Th3solution No I think I will just progress the story through to it's natural conclusion. What are you playing these days?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I have run into some time constraints and have had less gaming time this week than I planned, so I am still dusting off Ghost of Tsushima on PS4. It’s fantastic and one of those games I’m not particularly anxious to see it end because I’ve enjoyed it so much. I’m in the closing hours, ... but I have been for the last two weeks 😅
I’ll probably start Doom 2016 for my PS4 game to be playing after this weekend, playing along with the folks on the Game Club thread.

I’m also playing Danganronpa V3 on Vita and also quite smitten with its unique approach to gameplay and storytelling. A visual novel and murder mystery with quirky Japanese style. Very enjoyable.

Speaking of, do you like Japanese anime Draco? Because I was wondering if you might enjoy Code Vein. I haven’t played it but I played the demo. It is very Souls-inspired, the combat is quite tactical, and I know that’s your favorite. Since you’ve liked Fallen Order then you might take to CV. It has an NPC companion mechanic and I think it might have difficulty settings like Fallen Order, I’m not for sure, but it played a lot like Dark Souls from what I tried in the demo. I have plans to play it one day, but my backlog is too big at the moment. I would be interested in a Souls veteran like yourself’s take on CV, but if you don’t really like the anime style art and story telling then it might not sit well with you.

Mostly been playing Battlefield V. Played hundreds of hours on the games on 360 but failed to properly get into it this gen as most of the people I used to play with stuck with X box. There are still a couple of us on PS4 but getting together at the same time has proven tricky. Plus I really didn't like Battlefield 1 as it was too grenade spammy lol. V is much better in this respect as they do not resupply from normal ammo pouches which helps to balance things a bit.

One thing that attracts me to Battlefield more so than other games of its ilk is that you are rewarded not just for kills, but supporting your team and completing the objectives (such as attacking, defending and neutralising points on the map or setting explosives). Which is good becasue I suck at the actual shooting lol.

Along with the expansive maps, vehicle combat and destruction, it is scratching an itch I didn't really know I had.

I'm also enjoying the battle royale mode, Firestorm, a lot more than others I have played. Not sure exactly why this has clicked with me more than others, but there is something about the scavenging and isolation which I am digging. There is also a solo mode along with a squad mode which suits me better at the moment. Other battle royales force you into squad, which is fine, but is very dependent on communicating with your squad, which I don't really wanna do with randoms.

Playing Dead or Alive 6. It’s OK, not as good as Dead or Alive 5. Maybe during the PS5 era we’ll get a proper Dead or Alive 6 game. Lots of room for improvement.

@RogerRoger I really should get round to Uncharted 3, it’s the only one I haven’t played. 2 was fantastic but I agree about the final section, that was a problem with the first game too. The supernatural baddies just don’t do it for me, they’re bullet sponges and look a bit silly. I preferred 4’s approach by a country mile.
