Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy
I finished Iconoclasts today. You were right about that boss battle, really does have an amazing energy to it, quite an experience.

I have to thank you for your write up on it which you wrote a while back. I'm not sure I'd have played it had you not shown so much passion for the narrative. I'm very glad I got to play it.

I found an interview with the creator, it might be if interest. Must admit I'm amazed the whole game was developed by a single person.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Oh lord no, only 60 in total! That’s still quite hefty but 15 per character is manageable.

Y3 is the peak for substories with 120 I think!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy

I did check the remaining trophies at the end, will definitely consider going back to check out the hidden extras.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah man Naughty Dog went all out on the cinematic action for that part, and unfortunately it only gets worse with the heavy enemies😂

@TheBrandedSwordsman Sheesh man that whole sequence with the armored truck was so awesome to play. Going from hanging over water, crashing thru debris, and then being dragged thru the mud. Of course him and Sam argue on who to ride with then you gotta escape that burning car. Elena showing up at the end was the cherry on top because with all that action you forget about her, just like Nate. And then boom, now she's mad 😂

Just platinumed Bloodborne, and have been struggling to find something to play. So decided to give Greedfall a whirl, as it was free. I knew absolutely nothing about the story. After working my way through the missions in the opening town, I was having fun, and the plot was an interesting set up of political intrigue. All missions done, let's board the boat and head to the island....

Atelier Sophie actually, love this game big time.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Lemme put it this way, my friend and I both tried beating UC4 on the hardest difficulty "Crushing" and the mission called "Marooned" was an absolute nightmare. It was funny because I came to him saying like man there's this mission I just cannot get passed, and he's like "DUDE I'M STUCK ON THE SAME ONE". The most disheartening part about it is because since we already been thru the story, we knew the part that came next was even more hard. Lol to this day we never beat it haha

@TheBrandedSwordsman I think I played it on hard? I find more meaning in my playthroughs when it's challenging. You should be fine just watch out for those snipers and heavy enemies! I can't wait to hear what you think about the next chapter xD

I started playing ff12 zodiac age, so nostalgic....

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah man you'll be alright just use the water to your advantage

@TheBrandedSwordsman As far as I recall you should be fine. Sounds like you’re making really good progress. Is the game clicking with you?

A Plague Tale: Innocence. Very good so far, impressed with what the devs have done which i presume isn't on a huge budget. The rats are truly horrific. They will make ya squirm.

Had a quick first go on Assassins Creed: Black Flag this evening. It’s crazy to see how far PS4 games improved over the course of the generation as it does look and play like something from the previous gen (which it ostensibly was in fairness).

Having said that though, I am having fun. The setting is the main positive I think... it’s just so ‘cool’ (could be my own personal perspective in fairness) to be playing in a Pirate-playground. Gameplay feels a bit janky but I’m sure that I will ‘sync’ up with it and learn how to play to the jank in time, if you get my gist.

@JohnnyShoulder picked that up a few months ago in one of the sales, have only heard good things in fairness. Looking forward to playing it sometime.

realy want to give divinity original sin a propper go,but the 2 times i have given it a try a long while back, i ended up stopping because the camera angle/perspective gave me slight nausea.

@jdv95 I couldn’t get into D:OS(2) either... which does leave me a bit gutted. I love fantasy (of the sword and sorcery variety) but I just couldn’t connect with it. I think it was down to the turn-based combat but maybe it was the perspective too, now that you mention it. I do plan on giving it another shot at some point, I’m just hoping I find a turn based game that I click with first. I have a feeling that when/if I finally sync with that type of game I will all of a sudden be able to enjoy most quality turn-based RPG’s.

@colonelkilgore tbh i have found an appreciation for turned based combat.

i used to dislike it but after playing and loving a turned based combat game i see why it's loved. it's for sure better then the baldurs gate or even the pillars of eternity style combat which seems way to confusing for me. sure divinity's combat is hard but atleast i sort of know how it works.

@jdv95 I tried both D:OS2 and Persona 5 and just wasn’t enjoying it, it wasn’t that I wasn’t beating the enemies it was just meh. I’m obviously missing something and am kinda hoping when I eventually play Yakuza: Like a Dragon I will find what it is.

@colonelkilgore Yeah by 2025 it may have clicked by then.

@JohnnyShoulder how did you get your hands on my 🤬ing calendar!?!?
