Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

@andreoni79 €5? Nice.

I would advise breaking the games up with something else though otherwise it can be a bit too much Crash.

Is the bonus level for the original game still free as DLC too? That was fiendish.

@Thrillho The Crash trilogy have been shipped for € 5 even if it was clearly a mistake (5 minutes after my order the game was € 40 again on the site!) and I added this...

@andreoni79 The South Park games are great fun. Have you played Stick of Truth? The combat in But Whole is loads better and I liked the superhero setting more but Stick was written around the time I stopped watching the show so I got more of the references.

@Thrillho Never played the first one but I read good reviews so I decided to buy this. Anyway a retail game at € 5 is always worth a try... There's also the Destiny The Collection at the same price, but I play offline only so I doubt I could enjoy that!

Crypt of the Necrodancer. The Zelda-themed spinoff made this pretty much impossible to ignore now, and I wanted to give Nintendo my money to play it, but they decided to stupidly put a bunch of random indie games on sale instead of the game that's getting a Zelda-themed spinoff. Well, as it turns out, Sony is practically giving the game away right now, so they got my money instead.

@Ralizah Just a fair warning if you care about having unfinished games on your trophy list, Crypt of the Necrodancer has one of, if not the most hardest platinums of all time.

My last purchase was Red Faction II from the Great Indoors sale for only $1.49. A steal!

@deepspace5d Yeah, I'm aware the platinum is ridiculously difficult to achieve. I won't be paying attention to trophies for this one, in that case.

@Ralizah Right on. By the way, if you ever want to play Dragon’s Crown, Dead Nation, or Injustice online sometime, those are games that I own.

Bought Inside in the weekend flash sale on the ps store. Played the demo a while back and was intrigued by it. Not played Limbo cos of the spiders.

I most recently splurged on BioShock: The Collection, Return to Arkham and Yakuza 0. I had been meaning to check out all of them properly for a while (even owning the Return to Arkham games as well as BioShock 1 & Infinite on PC), but had never given them a chance quite yet. Playing these kind of action games are always better to me on PS4, in the comfort of my bed with a big TV in front of me! That alone is worth the additional buy on a different platform. I have already finished the first BioShock, but I'll type my thoughts on that game in the appropriate thread.

@Kidfried Nioh is great fun. The weapon stance mechanic is quite neat and really allows you to mix the combat up.

The exploration and boss fights are just as fun/infuriating as the Dark Souls games.

@Kidfried I did already complete and post my thoughts on the first BioShock in the ''games you've recently beat'' thread if you're interested! BioShock 2 is probably going to be my next priority for now.

@Tjuz Is Zero going to be your first Yakuza game? If so, welcome to the club and enjoy the ride!

@Thrillho Zero will be my first Yakuza game, yes! I've never played any kind of Japanese games, but Yakuza 0 has always interested me and it might be a nice introduction to that side of gaming too. Hopefully I'll enjoy it!

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition. I also pre-ordered Borderlands 3.

@Tjuz great game one of my favourites.

OK so I haven't posted in here for aaaaaagggeees. So I have treated myself over the last week.

428 Shibuya
The Show 18
Tiny Traks (psvr)
Celeste
Nubula
Street Basketball

A decent mix of games altogether coming in at under £50. Can't wait to play more Celeste tonight.

Just Bought Romancing Saga 2 and decided to give Sekiro a try since i keep hearing people say its harder then dark souls lol

@Frigate I've been meaning to try this series for 3/4 years. It was only £15 for last seasons edition so why not?

I know Baseball. Don't get me wrong I haven't watched a match for years. When it was on Channel 5 late night Derek Jeter, Ichiro, Barry Bonds, Maguire, it was around then. So years ago really.

It's misunderstood in Britain. That said every American game is over here. I love American Football but that gets great coverage on Sky, unlike the other main American sports. I dislike both Ice Hockey and Basketball - that's personal preference, I can watch a game and admire the skill but both Baseball and American Football are just better games imo.

@Frigate @themcnoisy It’s interesting because of the big 4 professional leagues in the U.S., American Football / NFL is really the only one with limited international appeal.
Baseball has quite a following in Asia and especially South America. Most of the best players in the MLB are from Latin America and Japan and Korea have sent many over as well.
Basketball I really feel is an international sport at present. The US barely dominates international play anymore and there are so many European players in the NBA now. Basketball is apparently huge in China too.
And the NHL is pretty well dominated by Eastern European and Canadian players.

Anyways, as an American, MLB is probably the league I am the least interested in. But I’ve always heard The Show is a fantastic rendition. If I liked baseball even a little bit more I would probably try it. The slowness of the game seems to lend itself to be the least ‘video gamey’ of the sports, so I’m curious how they make it work. Hope you enjoy it!

@Areus It's not more difficult than the SoulsBorne games imo, just requires a different way of thinking on how you combat enemies.
