Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Finally finished my first past with the Pilot in Enter The Gungeon, at least on console. It’s a lot harder than the PC version but I’m pretty chuffed with myself to beat what’s essentially a proper bullet hell boss.

Borderlands Pre Sequel on PS4. I first went with Claptrap, who is fun, but got annoyed with his action skill and started again with Jack. Jack is more fun and his action skill is better and works great for playing solo. Smooth 60fps, fov slider, and cool sounding laser weapons.

@Bentleyma- don’t know whether you simply beat Yakuza: LaD or if you plat’d it… but if you didn’t do the latter, I think feeling sad that a game is over is as good a reason as any to chase that platinum trophy 😉

@nessisonett
Good job nessie. I remember how shocked I was to actually beat the game first time (think it was with hunter) despite not seeming to have improved since the first time I played it! Absolutely loved that game.

@colonelkilgore I’m happy with 71% trophies. Most of the stuff I have left to do involves a lot of grinding and doing a mini game I’m not interested in, so I’ll give it a miss.

@Bentleyma- fair enough, all of the Yakuza plats are pretty lengthy from what I gather. I’m starting the series next year (god knows when I’ll get to Like a Dragon 😅), I’m hoping they click with me.

@colonelkilgore I hope you’re already learning how to play Mahjong and various Japanese gambling games in preparation!

@Thrillho I’m kinda banking on learning on the job tbh… might be to my detriment but I’m sure I’ll be able to find some tutorials as and when I get to it.

@Sorteddan Yeah, the High Dragun’s proper hard but it’s even harder to get all the bullet parts and then beat the final final boss for each character! Now to repeat that for the other 3 characters 😂

I finished Until Dawn a while back. Different type of game but really enjoyed it. I think that style of game definitely has it's own niche is fun to play. Has some replay potential, for me anyway.
I'm about 20-25% into Rise of the Tomb Raider and enjoying it.
But... the main reason I'm posting is that I was looking at the current PS store sale. I have just over €30 left on a gift card and was going to use it. God of War is on my list and is €15 for the Digital Deluxe Edition (cheaper than the standard one) - so that leaves another €15 odd. None of the other games on my list fits neatly but I saw FFX/X2 for €15 and am considering it. I've only played VII from the FF series but loved it (on PS1).
I've already moved onto the 2016 games on my list... but I guess I can move back a year for this

@bluedex
Just buy God of War twice. It's that good.

@Jimmer-jammer we normally play fairly similar types of games but these last two of yours aren't even on my radar, let alone on my shelf. Trouble is, I'm probably gonna have to look at a couple of reviews for each now, at the least... and I really shouldn't be buying any more games ...unle-ess...🤔

@Jimmer-jammer I bought Impossible Lair based on a couple of reviews from people on here and had a great time with it. I really liked the mechanic that each level has two variations to be played and the overall platforming is really solid.

The titular Lair is still really hard at the end, even with as many bees rescued as possible and felt a little disjointed from the rest of the game but was right up my street.

A very achievable platinum too @colonelkilgore

As for me, I'm going with Yakuza 6 still and having a good time but it's a bit weird that a lot of "normal" Yakuza stuff is missing from it.

That said, I have spent hours with my baseball bros and quite enjoyed that group of sub stories rather than only having the batting centre to play with.

@Thrillho appreciate the heads up buddy but I have so many games on the docket that can only justify playing (& plat’in) games I want to play… I will look into it though as it might be one of those.

I have Demons Souls lined up for September funnily enough @Jimmer-jammer, can’t wait.

@Th3solution @colonelkilgore @Jimmer-jammer Hey guys I had a little break from gaming but now I'm back! I just beat Rom, the Vacuous Spider in Bloodborne, I cheesed her by killing all the little spiders first and then it was just a case of wailing on her with my +6 Hunter's Axe. I did it on my third attempt, I know I beat the game before a couple of years ago but until I learned about killing the mini-spiders first I found this run with her really hard! You can even interrupt her teleport with R1 spam, I learned. Do you reckon what they say online is true, and there is often a way to cheese these From Soft bosses with just a bit of research on your side?

@TheBrandedSwordsman hey buddy, thought I hadn’t seen you post for a few days. Dunno if you can cheese every boss but there are definitely a good few for which you can. TBH though, I think you have to take a good amount of the little spiders out to beat Rom anyway, otherwise you’ll just get overwhelmed… so not sure if that is a cheese really.

There is a really good Rom fight in the Chalice Dungeons… a confined boss arena with pillars changes the dynamic of the fight completely. Think that Rom is a bit tougher too iirc.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I shamelessly cheesed every boss I could in Bloodborne. 😅 Although some of them didn’t have a good cheese technique available. But I don’t remember exactly how I beat Rom. Seems like I actually used the weapon with the lightning damage that was like a mace… and I was able to position myself on her rear-most section at the flank and minimize taking damage that way. Pretty sure whatever it was, I got it from a YouTube video. 😄

I remember using some of the poor hit detection in the game against itself, so a couple areas I cheesed enemies but hitting them through a wall while I kept cover in a room. There is a boss too (I’m thinking it was Shadow of Yharnam) where I did something similar where I cheesed the boss by taking cover behind a stone in the arena and I was able to hit it through the wall with my weapon for some free damage.

I figure it was only fair since the enemies were hitting me through the walls from time to time. 😛

@Th3solution Sounds like you certainly employed some effective cheesing techniques there, sol, do you reckon you will do the same thing for DS3/DeS/ER? Any word on playing any of them yet?

Edit: I know the third one isn't out yet, but you could play it when comes out.
