Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

@Th3solution i did that with FF once, it took ages

@FullbringIchigo FF7 Remake is out in April, you've got a bit more time.

@JohnnyShoulder thankfully

Just bought Hypercharged unboxed for the switch and I'm having a blast. Had more fun with it than with any grounded gritty shooter.

@FullbringIchigo I think I picked up 6 in a sale before the 3-5 collection was even announced so I was pretty glad when they announced them! I need at least a month or two between each game though (especially when each game then takes me a month to complete).

Your passion for Nier Automata is totally fine @Th3solution don't worry about it! (And I'll be sure to check out the thread in good time!)

I did end up playing a bit this evening and so far I'm liking it. I was pretty bad at the beginning but I've got the hang of it now thankfully!

I like NieR's combat. It's fast and thrilling, but not nearly as technical as it is in a lot of their other games, and the scoring element that aggravates me to no end in most of their games is pretty understated here.

@Ralizah I never really like the combat in any Platinum game and hate games that score you. People say you can ignore it, but I find that difficult to do when it plastered all over the screen.

Pre-ordered Final Fantasy VII Remake, Persona 5 Royal, Granblue Fantasy Versus and The Last Of Us part. 2.

@KratosMD Good score! Interesting to know that there was another print run.

In a similar vein, I ordered Sudden Strike 4 Complete (I missed the delivery so have to go and collect it at some point), but that apparently has all of the dlc on disc too.

@KratosMD Good to hear!

But it kinda confirms what I was thinking. I remember people saying back in the day that three games were too big to fit on a single disc. I always thought it was kinda BS, but if it was too big, they should've put in on 2 discs instead. But this confirms that the games were rushed. The first game was done and printed, and they worked to get the other two games done in time. They didn't make it, hence it was delayed like a few weeks before release. At the point when it should've gone gold already, and apparently it did, with only the first one on disc. 2 and 3 were completed later and released as a patch.

@KratosMD I really liked the Spyro trilogy and I don’t think I ever played the second game on the PSone.

The first game is quite easy but focuses on the platforming. The second and third games add in some superfluous stuff with other characters, skateboarding etc which is a bit hit and miss.

All quite straightforward games to platinum too it that’s your thing.

@KratosMD You’re spot on about Rest Mode. I absolutely take it for granted since I mostly play Vita, 3DS, Switch, PC and PS4, all consoles with a form of rest mode. Going back to playing a console without rest mode puts so much pressure on me to find a save point hahaha, especially in games like Persona 3 where I can be in Tartarus for hours at a time grinding.

Just got Vanquish and Bayonetta first game I got for PS4 that didn’t automatically install.
I put the Disk in wandered off for a bit came back and found you had choose which of the games you wanted to install.

Skyrim: Special Edition. Finally got around to this game, I hear it is the best RPG in history. I've done the first couple of quests so far.

I finally picked up The Outer Worlds as it’s half price this week. Looking forward to it with tempered expectations.

@Thrillho Do you mean The Outer Worlds, as The Outer Wilds is still 19 quid on PSN?

@JohnnyShoulder Dammit, I think I second guessed myself trying to get the right name and failed..

@Thrillho I think everyone has got confused by those two games at some point! Hope you enjoy it, it is not without its fair share of faults but it is the closest we have got to a decent Fallout type game in awhile.

@JohnnyShoulder The fact I've had both on my PSN wishlist doesn't help either

I've got as far as creating my character (Roswell) but will have a good bash at the game later today.
