Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

The original plan was to play Guardians of the Galaxy now, but I've been sick this whole week and I decided to play something much more laid back. I had been wanting to finally play it after I started watching Season 2 of the Netflix show, so I started it yesterday.

I'm enjoying it so far. In a way, I wish they didn't add things to Gwent to make it more complicated as I had the game down that was in The Witcher 3. I'm not sure if it's partially because I've been sick or not, but it's taking me a while to get a handle on the card game. Like I said though, I'm still enjoying it, and obviously the story and characters are top notch.

@Iver Yeah, a bit of a shame, but it's still good. I just have my laptop handy if I get stuck on a battle, which has happened a decent amount so far, especially the actual puzzle ones or one round ones that require you to do something specific.

@Jimmer-jammer I loved Fallen Order, you get great bonuses for beating the game which I was pleased to get my hands on, the maps are labyrinthine, so good luck with that!

@Bentleyma It's kinda what turned me away from playing the game when it came out, honestly. But I suppose it has its appeals?

On a side note: can you still get Aloy in Genshin Impact? I remember there was an event a while back but not sure if it was timed or not.

@Jimmer-jammer Have you been getting lost at all? I'm not really gaming these days, more focusing on music, guitar playing and listening, which I'm happy to discuss with you in the music thread whenever you get around to listening to Bitches' Brew, but, yeah, back when I had the acumen to be a real gamer and play for hours I would spend ages getting lost in those maps, YouTube guides don't really help either as the maps are too big for them to be useful.

@Jimmer-jammer I can commiserate, I struggled with Dathomir as well until I found out where I was supposed to be going. @colonelkilgore and Jimmer I went back to Dark Souls Remastered and beat the Four Kings again, colonel, they weren't as bad as you made them seem, got them on my second attempt with Havel's armour on and a +5 Greatsword. It's like you say though, different people struggle with different bosses. That's great about the 'Brew album Jimmer, I'm looking forward to your more complete thoughts (hopefully in The Music Thread, where we can discuss it in a depth that befits the piece) on the album and not surprised that your 3 year old didn't like it.😂

@TheBrandedSwordsman nice dude, I’m glad you managed to negotiate them without too much issue 👍

@RogerRoger played that Flashback game last year. Managed to finish it but Blimey it was hard! Though I kind of remembered that it would be from owning it @ 25-30 years ago on Amiga where I don't recall ever making any real progress - back in the days before internet guides and vids could show you where to go and how to do it.
So good luck with it but remember t 'net is there If you get stuck like I did and keep running back and forth between the same few screens!

Something peaceful and relaxing from Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles.

@Jimmer-jammer It's no problem, feel free to take your time and compile your thoughts once you've spent some more quality time with the record. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you have to say on the album.

The Wolf Among Us

Never did play this when it came out nearly 10 years ago, but with the sequel being announced and this being on sale right now for only $3.74, I figured this would be a good choice for something different to squeeze in before Horizon Forbidden West comes out on Friday.

@KilloWertz The Wolf Among Us is definitely one of my favourite Telltale games. It just oozes with creativity in terms of unique characters since it's all based on fables. Having so many recognisable characters and a thrilling story-line kept me interested from beginning to end. Hope you'll enjoy it!

@KilloWertz Probably my favorite Telltale game (which is a little bit like saying ‘the tallest dwarf’) but it’s a pretty clever setting and storyline. I liked it enough when I played it to look into the graphic novel series that it’s based on. I believe it’s called Fables if you end up liking the game and are into comics and graphic novels. I read through some of the series at the bookstore but never bought it, just didn’t have the money at the time.

@LtSarge This is my first Telltale game, as I am one of the few people that still has yet to play The Walking Dead or Tales from the Borderlands games. I really like similar games like the Life is Strange series and Heavy Rain, so I should really enjoy this game too. I think I'm near the end of Episode 1 and I've enjoyed it so far.

@Th3solution Like I said to Sarge, this is my first Telltale game. Blasphemy, I know.

Yeah, it's a prequel to the Fables series the game is based on. I'm enjoying it so far, and I have to agree about the characters and setting. It reminds me of the TV show Once Upon a Time a bit, but still, for a video game it's pretty unique. I've enjoyed it so far.

@Th3solution @KilloWertz I've got a fair few volumes of Fables and can recommend them if that is your thing.

The Wolf Among Us is ace, really enjoyed it and can't wait for the sequel next year. It is defo one of my fave Telltale games, along with Tales from the Borderlands and season 1 of The Walking Dead.

Not sure why some people knock them down so much, it was only towards the end we started too see the quality lessen.

The engine was never all that though, so glad to hear they are using Unreal Engine 4 for The Wolf Among Us season 2.

I really loved The Wolf Among Us as well. It was probably one of best looking Telltale games as well but I can never think about the game without remembering this bug someone encountered…

Me and a friend were looking for something we could online co-op together and settled in Remnant From the Ashes as we both had it from PS+. Around 10 hours in and have now reached the 3rd (?) planet - Corsus. It's a pretty good game and fun to play with a friend, kind of if Fallout was a Soulslike. Plenty of exploring, panicking, having to revive my mate and liberal use of dodge rolls on boss encounters. Not sure if I will be so motivated to go for the plat but hopefully we'll be able to complete it.

@Thrillho Lmao, how the hell did that bug ever possibly happen? Why did they ever animate Bigby dancing?

As for the graphics, that's the beauty of an art style like this. No matter how much time goes by, it can still look really good.

@Sorteddan one of my favourite games from last year, glad you’re enjoying it.
