Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Jimmer-jammer can’t help but feel a bit guilty about suggesting Transistor as it doesn’t sound like you’re clicking with it 😔. Although I totally agree on the art style and soundtrack… it was definitely the gameplay (and the combinations of skills) that won me over. Might just be a case of it not being for you though dude.

i finally platinumed the last of us 2 its something ive been meaning to do since last year

@alexbolton2 congrats buddy, awesome game.

@colonelkilgore thanks i played it the day it came out ive been just procrastinating this since i beat it for the 4th time last year.

About to start RE7. Dunno if I've ever played a 1st person game before , prefer 3rd person, but I always liked RE so let's see.
Previous 2 games were Batman Arkham City and then FF12 Zodiac Age. Definitely preferred Batman from those.

@Jimmer-jammer I think the combat gets more challenging iirc. The story was a little flat for me. And I hate to harp on it since I complained about this before, but the voice and narration for the sword just grated on me. The heroine seemed really interesting (Red, was it?) but the talking sword didn’t feel like he was in the right game.

Thanks Roger! I'm glad to finally move onto the Assassin's Creed series with AC2, been meaning to catch up on it for many years.

I would have replayed AC1 before replaying AC2, but they never remastered or remade AC1 for newer consoles sadly.

Right now story wise in AC2 I'm about to go after Francesco, but I'm wrapping up as many trophies and side quests as I can first.

@KidBoruto Trust me, after going back and playing AC1, it has not aged well at all! I think a remaster would probably do it a disservice, it was really impressive at the time but just hasn’t held up.

@nessisonett @KidBoruto I thought the first Assassin's Creed game was a dull experience even at the time and would probably need more than a remaster to fix those problems. The second game was a massive improvement all round.

Good luck collecting all those damn feathers!

@KidBoruto @nessisonett They remastered it for the Xbox One X. It looks great for a game as old as it is, but sadly they never brought it over to the PS4 Pro since you can't play it on there.

I agree that it hasn't aged well at all. I was really looking forward to finally playing it a few years ago since I'm very late to becoming a fan (I've played the last 4 AC games starting with Syndicate), but couldn't get through it. Clunky controls and you get noticed way too often.

@bluedex I just finished RE 7 like 3 night ago , i did enjoy the game more as it got closer to the end tbh, but over all it was a good game , hope you enjoy it too.

i've been jumping in and out of Borderlands 3 for a while now, stuck on some boss in Remnant: from the ashes (as i play solo and the dude duplicates himself like a dozen times), been meaning to play the 2 epilogue chapters in RDR2 but haven't got to that yet, thinking about starting The Witcher 3 : Blood and Wine DLC since i finished Hearts of Stone like a month ago and i'm already missing the witcher, AC Valhalla, and also some DBD and Apex.

@Jimmer-jammer Transistor is really good, the combat is so much fun. I can't really remember the intricacies of it since I played it.. 8 years ago (damn). I platinumed it, which I always point out whenever I can because I have only ever platinumed about 3 games, but it does show how much I enjoyed it. Trouble is, I have never felt the need to go back as there is nothing at all left to do. Maybe one day!

I am not big at all on Bastion and Hades, in fact I don't really like either of them. Not tried Pyre.

@kyleforrester87 Interesting perspective, since I was lukewarm on Transistor, maybe I’ll like Hades. I’ve wondered how much carryover there is with the Supergiant games. It seems like most people who like one, like them all. And I’ve only ever tried Transistor.

@Jimmer-jammer glad that Transistor has started to click with you dude… phew 😅

I do agree, AC1 would need a full from the ground-up remake at this point.

Thankfully I have been purposely avoiding the feathers during the story, will just follow a YouTube video to collect them all after beating the story.

That's not a remaster, they just patched up the original Xbox 360 version to be playable on XB1 and Series X/S.

It's not playable on PS4 because PS4 consoles aren't backwards compatible with PS3 games.

I do agree the game hasn't aged very well at all though, it would benefit alot from a legit next-gen remake.

@KidBoruto At the very least it might as well be called a remaster since it looks vastly superior on the Xbox One X then it did back on the Xbox 360, and it's not simply just the fact that the console was much more powerful.

I'm aware of that, which is why I said it wasn't on the PS4 Pro since you can't play it on the PS4.

@Jimmer-jammer I played Bastion last year… and while I ended up quite enjoying it, it was nowhere near as good as Transistor (at least for me). Just a heads up that it only really gets interesting during the endgame of playthrough 2… and only then if you’re chasing the platinum. Apart from that it’s pretty mundane.

@Jimmer-jammer Yeah I thought Transistor was awesome too, with all the elements coming together really well which felt like a rather unique experience at the time.

I seem to remember the combat not clicking with me initially either until I got my head round it.

I only played Bastion for a bit, but didn't really gel with me. Yet to play Hades, but will eventually.

@Bentleyma I really enjoyed the second South Park game as I thought the combat mechanics were so much better than the first game and preferred the Superhero characters to the Fantasy ones. The only thing was that most of the references in the second game were to series after I'd stopped watching whereas I knew most of them from Stick of Truth.
