Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Th3solution Also I hope you get through your work projects and get your traveling done with as little stress as possible, so you can game again with wild abandon in the next few weeks/months!

@Jimmer-jammer Congrats on your plat, the only one I have is for My Name Is Mayo 🤣 ever played that one? Easiest plat on the PS4 by far. Old West Fantasy sounds good. Were you hunting and fishing whilst in that countryside that looks so much like your own homestead?

@Jimmer-jammer Also, like you say, the game really opens up at that point. Would you say that's the first time where it's truly open-world and you have a lot more freedom about what you can choose to do in the game?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy yeah Uncharted 2 (& 3 even though doesn’t seem to get as much love) is excellent. It was a massive leap forward from the original.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Thanks, my friend. I appreciate the encouragement. I’ve got some new stress in my life that I’m trying not to let get to me. Your words are actually timely. I hope a little gaming this weekend occurs so I can escape a little.
I don’t know about when FF7R’s number will be called for me, but I’ll definitely let you know. Even if one of us gets there first, it will be fun to share impressions when it happens. 😄

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I’ve planned to revisit UC2 now for several months. It’s one of my fondest PS3 memories. For some reason I can’t remember if this is a replay for you or the first time experiencing it. It’ll be interesting to compare notes with @NedStarksGhost who is also playing it now and is new to the series.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I have to admit to having never come across the word “milquetoast” before!

@Thrillho
If I recall correctly, one of the starting classes in Bloodborne was milquetoast. No, I had no idea what it was either. In my head it reads 'milk n toast' which is not helpful.

Started The Division 2 today and after an hour or two of not really feeling it, it’s starting to click. I’m playing it with a mate who I played through Remnant from the Ashes with… not sure I’m gonna enjoy this as much as that but I’m definitely starting to like it.

@JechtUltima I still can’t hit that 10 million score trophy. My highest score is about 4.5 million and that was proper difficult.

Decided to play something laid back that I can do at my own pace, so I'm revisiting Red Dead II in an attempt to get the trophy for studying every animal in the game. It's a big undertaking, but one I'm enjoying so far.

Meanwhile, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is complete, but that final Knitted Knight Trial... wow.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Just looked up the word 'milquetoast'. There was no definition, just a picture of Elena. Excellent work.

Started playing Life is Strange: Before the Storm. I kept putting this off for years for some reason even though I enjoyed the first one. Figured I'd finally play it so I'm ready for True Colors whenever I am able to get to it.

@Jimmer-jammer @Th3solution I am still playing through RDR2 I just completed Polite Society, Valentine Style and Americans at Rest, where you have to save or kill the guy hanging from the cliff (I saved him) and then survive a barroom brawl in the latter mission a bit violent with all the punching for my tastes as I prefer the less direct gunplay in the game, but yeah, still a great game and experience and I like the fact that whatever mission you choose to do next is largely left up to you. How are your games going?

@Jimmer-jammer @Th3solution I also did some food and cigarette shopping with Uncle, as part of the 'Polite Society' mission, made the mandatory coffee purchase as well of course, it was all good though, as Uncle was buying!

@colonelkilgore I thought they’d really nailed the mechanics with The Division 2 but the overarching story was so threadbare. I quite liked the story in the first game but I genuinely don’t remember anything about it in the second.

I did prefer the setting though as the first game got a bit monotonous.

@Thrillho well, I haven’t felt compelled to return to The Division 2 at all today… and it’s very unlike me to feel this ambivalent about a new game (well a new game to me). Will see how I feel tomorrow but it’s not drawing me back right now.

@colonelkilgore Did you ever play the first game?

@JohnnyShoulder no, I picked up the both of them but my mate really wanted to play the sequel… in fairness, I have heard 2 is better. It just felt a bit samey by the end of my session yesterday but maybe because I’m so early game atm. Does it pick up?

@colonelkilgore I would say you are missing on a lot of the story setup by not playing the first game, and I found some of the game mechanics explained a bit better. I probably preferred the first game...just.

That was main complaint about the second game, that it got a bit samey, but I only felt that towards the end of the game. I did try and vary it up a bit and not just concentrate on the story missions.

@JohnnyShoulder we were doing the same to be fair, we were clearing whole areas of things to do before moving on… think we only actually got 2 main missions done as a result. Maybe once we get a little deeper in and see how things develop it’ll grab me a bit more.

Quite surprised by how much you liked the original… I hadn’t paid a massive amount of attention to it at the time but I kinda got the impression that it was a bit of a disappointment.
