Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

I've gone back to Enter the Gungeon. Managed to unlock all the elevator shortcuts.

Also playing Disco Elysium which is very good.

@TheBrandedSwordsman
Very nice, do you ever do pvp battles? Used to love doing those in Bloodborne, great fun.
Prey slaughtered

@LieutenantFatman No I am strictly a PvE guy, haven't been invaded thus far, and I never invade anyone else's game. I did do a few duels in Dark Souls, though, great fun, didn't win very often, but still, great fun. Also, I've decided only to level my vitality to 99 for The Old Hunters and have given up on levelling up my other stats, it just takes too long! On 73 of 99 vitality now.

@TheBrandedSwordsman
That's fair, plenty of people who dislike the online side of games. It's a brilliant game even if played completely offline. I hope Sony give it a little upgrade at some point.

Playing Disco Elysium. It’s really engrossing.

@LieuetenantFatman @TraCuz- I am currently soul farming in Dark Souls Remastered, Grave of Artorias area, to make an OP character to use up to NG+2, how far did you make it with your respective playthroughs of the original Dark Souls, if you've tried it? If you haven't, what's been putting you off?

@TheBrandedSwordsman you gonna go for the plat?

@colonelkilgore I believe so, although A Knight's Honour is allegedly quite difficult to obtain. How did you find it? You must have played through to NG+2?

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah it wasn’t too bad... though I think it was the last trophy I obtained. Iirc I think I had to make a few different weapons with Sif’s soul, so you have to get to the Blacksmith in Anor Londo in ng+2 at least.

@TheBrandedSwordsman My first entry in the Souls series was DS3, and since then I fell in love with FromSoft. I think I put in like 200 hours, my character is like 140 or sumn, beat the story twice and played both DLCs. Never went back to 1 or 2. With both Bloodborne and Sekiro I was at points in my gaming where I didn't feel like making the committment to them. Maybe I'll go back some day.

@TraCuz- if you liked DS3 that much, I think you should return to them all at some point.

@TraCuz- Yeah give Bloodborne another go, I never beat Sekiro either, the gameplay in DS1 is rather antiquated compared to 3, you might find - also DS2 isn't worth playing, imo. How is MGS2 going?

Edit: DS1 is still a brilliant game in it's own right, though.

Hollow Knight

had it sat in my library for ages must have bought it in a sale so I thought I'd give it a shot. really enjoyed my first couple of hours didn't really know where I was going until I got the compass charm but its a solid little Metroidvania.

Ratchet and Clank

I'm playing it on PS5 with the buttery smooth 60fps update and I'm really enjoying!

Playing through TLOU2 on grounded mode, and its by far the better and more rewarding experience to the other settings, it makes it feel much more like a apocalyptic world with resources and ammo being hard to find. If you make a mistake or get detected it puts you under a lot more pressure and gives you a lot less time to react which for this type of game world is much better. Could still nit pick some of the AI but its generally a lot better than when on moderate or hard.

Also playing through using headphones making use of the PS5 3 Audio and I can hear so many more little sounds didn't hear before and things going on around. Can really hear when the characters breathing changes when they in a tense situation or running or bit angry. In one bit where the NPC has been exposed to spores could follow them much easier just from the direction of their coughing.

Enjoying Rise of the Tomb Raider. Lara really isn't Tomb Raiding anymore, she's just kickin' ass, takin' names and is out for revenge/redemption. It's like she's Aloy and Ellie combined going through a Nathan Drake's adventure.

After this, i'll probably jump back into a JRPG in my backlog or Days Gone.

@Jackpaza0508 Yeah, I posted my thoughts on the game in another thread but essentially it’s just a good fun game. And being a remake of an older game, it’s nice to play something that’s all wrapped up in around 10hrs rather than grinding out double that for no reason.

Dynasty Warriors 4 Orochi i really wanted too play something with brainless fighting.

After finishing the main story of my second playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn (and what an ending it is!), I have just started The Frozen Wilds and had my first encounter with one of the new machines. Wow, this thing wasn't messing around. If I'd hadn't been wearing the Shield-Weaver armour my arse would've been handed to me on a plate!

Stunning location as well, definitely feels like I'm going to enjoy this.

@Col_McCafferty The game was awsome wasnt it i still need too do the DLC though.

@Flaming_Kaiser Yes, it is.

Should definitely give it a try if you can.
