Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@LieutenantFatman
I'd never played any of them till I got it on ps+ a few years back, I'd always assumed it was just a kids game but was surprisingly entertained by it. Really enjoyed some of the weapons like the one that pixelates to 8 bit mode and I even went as far as completing new game+ just so I got to see all enemies dancing!

@Sorteddan
Yes, I did kind of feel the same way. But I noticed there are some decent jokes in this remake for all age groups which is nice.

Cool avatar btw. Used to love playing a bit of Bomb Jack, not played it in about 25 years now.

@LieutenantFatman Showing your age now! Thst is probably older or as old as some forum members!

@LieutenantFatman @JohnnyShoulder
Good spot. And yeah that's kinda why I chose it, to stir up fond memories in those who know and confuse the rest! Definitely my fav coin op ever (just ahead of Mr Do & Bubble Bobble). And almost as fondly as I recall it was the memory of the disappointment when receiving the C64 version. Yes, that happened!

@JohnnyShoulder
Bloody kids! shakes fist menacingly

@Sorteddan
I can imagine what the C64 version would have looked like. Pretty sure I played it on the Atari ST. Wasn't particularly good at it but enjoyed it.

@TraCuz- The music is well I've found in all the final fantasy games I've played amazing. The way it lends itself to each situation is masterful.

Completed chapter 5 and 6 now and 6 was an excellent chapter from cinematography to gameplay I loved it.

@lolwhatno
Thanks! It's the Beholster boss from Enter the Gungeon. The game should be free with a handful of other gems at some point today I believe, worth checking out.

I am a big fan of the Cacodemon from Doom, especially the original version, such a cool and iconic enemy.

@MaulTsir If I remember correctly chapter 6 was Airbuster? Maybe that's chapter 7, did you play the original?

@TraCuz- I haven't come across it yet so must be chapter 7 🤣. Yeah I did play the original, I played it as a 9/10 year old with my older cousin when it was originally released in the UK (I say played I more mean I watched das he done everything and let me navigate a tiny bit 🤣) but I replayed it about 4 years ago to freshen my memory up same with 8 and 9.

I'm still grinding in Bloodborne, levelling up my character for a Holy Moonlight Sword build. Vit is currently at 45 of 99 so still a way to go!

@MaulTsir Ahh okay so you already know the general pacing of the story. I'm currently playing the original to help satiate my need for Part 2. Just left Midgar and opened up the world map for the first time in about 17 years. I can't believe I forgot how massive it is, it blows my mind and gets me super excited for Part 2 considering how faithful to the original they were in the Part 1.

@TraCuz- i'm also waiting to see the open world in part 2

@TraCuz- @Onigumo I can't see how it will be as open world as the original game. It'll have to be much more focused I think. That's not necessarily a bad thing though sseeing as how they expanded on areas so much in part one.

@Thrillho Yeah I'm not sure how they'll handle it, I'm mostly looking forward to how developing on PS5 will help improve their level design. They can be more creative and not every space has to be long corridors.

@Arugula They’ll just turn the open world into a series of sewers and reactors with corridor-based loading screens 😉

It’s going to be funny to see them work Cait Sith in. Big marshmallow bear with a cat riding on top, running along behind you and Tifa. Gunna be a nightmare animating all that.

Enter the Gungeon. Fun game, surprised how much I am enjoying it. The guns are awesome as is the destructible environments, such as the usual barrels to flipping switches to drop chandeliers, and so on. The bosses are quite funny too.

Oh man, Rez Infinite is incredible. No clue why I held off on it for so long, I’d easily drop money on it.

@colonelkilgore @nessisonett I have abandoned my Bloodborne quest for The Old Hunters as I have begun to agree with @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy in the sense that I distinctly prefer the medieval setting of Dark Souls to Bloodborne's Lovecraftian Victorian madness, plus I prefer the weapons and armour in Dark Souls to a large extent, and I have now returned to that game, aiming for the platinum in both that and Dark Souls 3, levelling up my character by farming in the Grave of Artorias, with the Symbol of Avarice to increase my souls per run. Praise the Sun!

Not played as the Hunter yet, but will do next as is the only base character I've try to play with @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy. That is the boss I defeated eventually, after about the 3rd time. I found to strafe in a circle useful for its 1st move then just avoid the targeting missiles and shoot it in between dodging them. I try to test out all the weapons I pick up, as there have been a few times I picked up a weapon, faced a boss and didn't realise you had to charge a weapon. Death quickly followed! 😂
