Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Today I actually fast travelled back to White Orchard, as I reached a point in Velen where I seem to be pretty underpowered at level 4, you might know where I mean...it's with one of the colourful characters you mention
Sure enough, I'd missed a sh**load of stuff in White Orchard, including every single Place of Power, or whatever they're called. So I'm having a nice time exploring the place, building up my stocks...

@TheBrandedSwordsman I don’t think I like the Tomb Raider games any more than the Uncharteds, but I do think the gameplay is superior, although the story and character interactions are better in the Uncharted series. Each has its strengths.

@TheBrandedSwordsman By the way, I really enjoyed Resident Evil 1 & 2 Remakes on PS4. They are really classics and still so enjoyable, in a horror survival kind of way. It’s definitely a whole different kind of gameplay, with a lot of puzzle solving and searching and exploring for items like keys and puzzle pieces in order to progress, while simultaneously trying to stay alive from the attacking zombies and creatures. But the combat is much more tactical in those games — conservation of ammo, knowing when to run and leave the enemy alone, etc.

@TraCuz- No, the original Resident Evil on PS4, the HD Remaster. With regard to Control, we might be able to play that at the same time once I get through SotTR.I tried 7 and fell off of that game, so I am hoping the original grabs me a bit more!

@Th3solution Yeah, as I was saying, the original Resident Evil is one of the games in my backlog, wanting to play it on PS4, how far have you made it through the game? And with regard to SotTR I wasn't asking about enjoyment but about difficulty, do you find the greater variety makes SotTR more difficult than Uncharted 4 on the whole? Or no?

@bluedex It's good you went back to level up, hopefully the colorful character won't phase you too much upon your second visit to them, also, are you on the lookout for better gear? Which can then be upgraded as you go along? Always remain on the lookout for sharpening stones as well, as they allow your weapon to do more damage.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Hello Foxy! ,just thought you might want to join the discussion about the Uncharted and Tomb Raider reboot games .Where do you stand on them?

@TheBrandedSwordsman As far as RE1, I completed the whole game with Jill. I didn’t yet do the Chris playthrough. I did one run for both characters in RE2 though.

And on the subject of difficultly of TR and UC, it’s hard to say but I’d probably consider that if each game were set to default ‘normal’ difficulty settings, then I think maybe SotTR was a little more difficult than UC4 due to the higher complexity of gameplay. Of course Crushing difficultly on UC4 would be harder and you’d die more than than on the easiest TR settings, but the breadth of things to manage from an RPG standpoint makes the TR game more difficult I feel. But they really are quite different so it depends on what a person is used to. What do you think?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Ohh okay, no I can't say I've played it since PS1. With Control I'm gonna give it another go to see if it grabs me, might just breeze thru it since it's about 12 hours long. Gotta say though you guys are making me wanna play Tomb Raider based off of the survival mechanics.

@TraCuz- Absolutely, give it a go. Let me know if you do and then we'll be able to chat more about it.

My younger brother started Shenmue today. Much hilarity ensued 😂😂

@RogerRoger I SEE

I'll go ahead and copy-paste my comment from the weekend article:
Started Persona 5. It's my first contact with the series. So far it's very foreign, confusing, and everybody in it is kind of a d*ck

@Th3solution In SotTR I've just reached the Hidden City and completed the trial of the serpent I thought it was a great puzzle and the environment reminded me of areas like Blighttown and Farron Keep from the Souls games. Hint hint

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah always on the lookout for better gear, got a few bits and pieces so far. Also found sharpening stones and mending tables, very useful! Back in Velen now after doing everything I could in White Orchard. Totally engrossed now, loving it.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Oh yeah, there are some rather creepy and dark areas and themes in the game. I figured that would sit well with your love of the Souls games. 😄

@Th3solution I cleared another area in SotTR this morning and am now in Cenote, I thought that Unaratau's dissuasion of Lara' s interference in the civil war, even though it came at the cost of her freedom, was a nice story beat.

@Arugula I play a lot of Road to The Show, I have a 1st baseman, a starting pitcher and a left outfield and try have different career paths, my first world series win was with my first baseman in his 3rd season in the majors with the colorado rockies after being traded 3 times lol my left outfielder is a stud and plays with the Dodgers but only made the playoffs twice in 5 year and my starting pitcher is now with the Yankees after spending 4 years with the brewers and constant disappointment but 2 world series titles in 3 years with the Yankees.

@Th3solution In SotTR I just escaped from the box of Ix Chel area, and all those strange creatures, it reminded me of fleeing from the undead night-sisters in Jedi: Fallen Order!

I am still playing through SotTR and finding it quite challenging as you have to be quite precise with the jumps and whatnot. Still, fun and rewarding game imo. Thus far, I am finding the platforming elements harder than the ones in the Uncharted games. (2 & 4, as that's all I've played of that series)
