Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@ThereThere @Thrillho I enjoyed my time with Fallout 4, but after playing all of the dlc barring the last one I was a bit fed up with it, and not sure I can face playing any other games in the series. The base building was a massive turn off for me also.

@ThereThere glad you’re enjoying dude. I went back and finished off the platinum a couple of months back and… well I was shocked at how dated it felt considering it was only around 7 years old. Having said that, I did still glean some enjoyment from the nostalgia. 👍

@avatarian Absolutely love Nier Automata and the narrative is a big reason why. I still need to play the prequel Nier Replicant.

I really like this video as an explanation and a deep dive into the game’s themes and message. It’s really profound stuff with a large amount of philosophy. Some of the philosophers and theories in the game were previously unknown to me and after watching this I gained added appreciation for it, which I already had a high opinion of the game. It’s a long video at 45 minutes, but well worth it to revisit the game and ponder what it may have been trying to say.

going to be playing the Cowabunga Collection pretty soon

Enjoying my time with SOUL HACKERS 2. One of my most anticipated games this year! It has its shortcomings but still having a good time with it. Great characters and overall story and the demons look really cool.
I hope to finish this game soon, that way, I can play ONE PIECE ODYSSEY (hope to find out the release date during the showcase on Sept 15 at TGS). If it doesn't come out this year, then I'll probably jump to SCARLET NEXUS.

@HallowMoonshadow There is quite the array of jobs (i.e. classes) you get later on too but each character has their unique starting job.

I think there was DLC that added a few more fun jobs as well. It’s just a shame the female jobs were less numerous and interesting than the male ones (although one has an amazing team healing move).

Wasteland 3. I actually bought this which is rare for me, in a PS Store sale not too long. It's the complete edition and it was something ridiculous like 12 quid.

Hopefully I will see this one out, as the last CRPG (not the best sounding acronym lol) in Divinity: Original: Sin which I completely fell off it after about the 30 hour mark.

It is very violent and sweary, and reminds of Fallout before the third game. Not that I've had much experience of those games mind. For instance, a character was talking in a in game cut scene and he got shot in the head, brains and everything exploding everywhere. It is done in quite a OTT comedic way however.

Presentation wise it is not best looking game but it does the job. Dialogue is fully voiced and cast are quite good so far. Combat is quite fun and reminds me of X-Com as you have to use cover effectively which can be destroyed.

played Ninja Turtles II Arcade NES from the Turtles Cowabunga Collection 2 hours ago.

Now Im playing Tournament Fighters SNES game. Man the game is slow.

Street Fighter II and the Mortal Kombat games are faster

@HallowMoonshadow Haha yeah that's exactly why i love the Yakuza games so much, you can easily get distracted by and addicted to all the side games that you can do in the game.

While I actively attempt to not pop any platinum trophies 😉 until we get to 9th November, I reinstalled and made a start on GTAV yesterday.

I played the **** out’ve the game back on PS3 at release and then sort of mainlined the PS4 version back in 2018. I’m not gonna lie, it was a lot of fun going back to Los Santos… more than I thought there would be tbh. The driving physics are just so darned perfect.

The one drawback… I honestly think that GTAV has the worst selection of songs of all of the games from GTA3 onwards.

Cool to learn about your progress in GTA V @colonelkilgore! Have been thinking about trying out the game myself soon. Beside making some progress in Days GNONE I'm currently playing Tomb-Raider the definitive edition (which plays beautifully). Feels like a very nice game so far. Crystal Dynamics have done a real stellar job on the new Tomb Raider games in my opinion (never really played a Tomb raider game before btw). But this one feels so nice that I would like to continue explore more games in the series. I'm also temped to try out Sekiro Die twice some time soon (which I have heard so much about).

@oliverp yeah those Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider games are great. I’ve played the first two and am looking forward to playing the third - Shadow of the Tomb Raider some time next year… so good!

During my lack of internet, got completely hooked on Blasphemous. Without any way of googling when stuck, even if I really wanted to, it actually made the game more enjoyable. Easily one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve ever played, with a fascinating aesthetic filled with concepts drilled into me since I was a kid at church and such. There are seemingly endless secrets to find and even entire quest lines that are basically hidden similar to the Souls games. I’d go as far to say that it’s as close as I’ve ever seen another dev get to the feel and essence of Souls games despite being a different genre. The cryptic story in FromSoft games is something that I basically loathe but Blasphemous manages to nail the balance between mysterious and downright impenetrable.

@nessisonett Yeah Blasphemous impressed me too. Loved the setting and enemy designs, some of them were pretty bonkers.

I bought my first ever console (PS) after 2 decades of PC life.

I am playing Titanfall 2 storyline, and it is entertaining. Likewise, I was surprised how good is the game as I paid only £1 for it. (Second hand deal).

@silverspeed welcome to the slave-race 😃

@colonelkilgore It was worth to register here.
Just looked up your game collection and I feel like a mini PS store with ratings and everything

Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles
LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER

After beating Dark Souls on the Switch (I am so damn proud of that!) I am currently playing Dark Souls II on the PS4. It is awesome!

I've beaten only 3 bosses for now but I am getting the hang of it I love it!!!

@silverspeed
Blimey, £1 for Titanfall 2 is probably the greatest bargain of the week!
Though if new to the system you can probably pick up a bunch of stuff you've not played on the cheapo as the PS4 generation is now starting to wind down.
also, welcome to the forums.
