Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@JechtUltima It was getting all upgrades that took more time rather than collectibles and thank god for chapter select for picking up the collectibles too!

Just finished The Last of Us Part II. Playing it for myself after watching the story months before that I can now see how much better could've been. Really disappointed in the characters that are just cannon fodder. No real purpose.

If I have to measure the disappointment I would put The Last of Us 2 together with Game of Thrones Season 8.

This is my opinion only. I have waited to express it only after I have played the whole game myself.
I only would return to it just to make some amazing screenshots

I give it 6/10 only because of the amazing graphics and world building.

@Zuljaras Fair enough, couldn't disagree more though.

😝

At least you actually played it before forming your opinion.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Finished RE remastered yesterday. An enjoyable blast from the past. The fixed camera angles got me at first, I was continuously trying to scan the area until I remembered... But at least using thumbsticks was better than the original D pad tank controls. I wonder how much has changed from the original PS1 game? I remembered the ending and some other bits, but not all of it... But I guess it is nearly 25 years 😁
Just started Until Dawn.... Looks really excellent, the presentation, atmosphere, graphics, gameplay. I'm only at the very start but think I'm gonna love it. I think it's the closest I've experienced to playing "in a movie", very cinematic.

@bluedex Yeah Until Dawn is a ridiculously easy yet still enjoyable game, definitely an interactive "movie" experience.

I’m still going with Ghost of Tsushima and it’s a great game but bloody hell it’s long.

I think I’m 50 hours in and have done two of the three main act 2 missions but still a good third of the map to clear in that region, plus whatever else is to do after that!

I can see why it was in up there with TLOU2 for GOTY but there is a lot of repetition.

Started Watch Dogs 2 yesterday, probably got about 4 or 5 hours in. I fancied an open world game set in modern times and it seems good fun. Still a surprising amount of people playing it too, must've had interactions with atleast 10 or 15 other players in that short amount of time, which when you consider the age of the game its a good sign that its worth a play.

@Thrillho I'll be starting it in just over 2 weeks, can't wait. I don't mind a bit of repetition as long as there are varied activities, I'll just bounce between them.

You can never tell whether you click with a game until you play it but what with everything I've heard this is as sure-a-thing as they come for me I reckon. So much so that I wanted to play something 'significant' (a classic, or soon to be recognised as such...) for my 50th Platinum and I've picked Ghost.

@Kidfried yeah it seems to be a bit of a hidden gem, I think so many people were put off the franchise by the original Watch Dogs that few people gave this one a chance.

@Kidfried 🤣 every relationship has a breaking point huh!

In fairness though, I am actually considering returning to it. I have quite a few games on my trophy list at a low percentage completion... and now that I'm into the whole trophy hunting thing, these unfinished games frustrate the hell outta me.

@Kidfried @colonelkilgore The first Watchdogs game was so dull... on every level. That has long gone in my gaming hell never to be seen again.

@colonelkilgore Watch Dogs 2 is brilliant, way better than it had any right to be. Good fun platinum too!

@nessisonett good to hear, there are a few online trophies that are on my radar but apart from that, yeah it seems a pretty straightforward list.

@Jimmer-jammer @Th3solution @colonelkilgore I am currently playing through Control and with the auto aim it is manageable but harder than the Uncharted games, loving it so far - gameplay, story, setting, everything. Especially enjoyed the first plot point about how you become the new director of the Federal Bureau of Control

@TheBrandedSwordsman a mate of mine has just started it too and he's really enjoying it also. It really is a quality game, I've got the PS5 version (PS+) so I can replay it some point... and I'd love a sequel.

@colonelkilgore Did you play the DLC?

@TheBrandedSwordsman no, I actually bought it but I've stopped playing dlc's... if I'm honest, I think it's the trophy hunting. Once I pop the plat, I'm onto the next plat rather than playing through additional episodes.

I might well play it when I play the PS5 version though as I loved the world and characters Remedy created.

@colonelkilgore Obviously you get trophies for Bloodborne's DLC but they don't count towards the plat. I take it you were still playing DLCs before you went trophy hunting when you played The Old Hunters? I guess because it's FromSoft you wanted to play it anyway, being such a huge fan, Dark Souls III's Ringed City probably being played by you for the same reason - certainly no trophies to be had there, plat or otherwise!

@colonelkilgore I meant to reply to your post about Ghost of Tsushima.

Like I say, I’ve really enjoyed it but it introduces lots of new elements over the first 10hrs or so but then very little from then on. It’s just starting to feel that missions are turning into investigate this area, find and follow tracks, KILL EVERYONE.

Luckily the combat is really fun and I love the world and story, it just feels like it could have benefitted from being slightly streamlined but maybe it’s just because I insist on doing absolutely everything possible in the game.

The platinum is very do-able too so far, there’s just one random (hidden) one that requires you to “dress like a legendary thief” which is a bit obtuse.

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah Bloodborne was my first platinum... and it took a couple of years for the trophy hunting bug to fully take hold. Also, I will always make an exception for From's DLCs as their always exemplary... probably better content than found in the base games.
