Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

Just picked up The Division 2. Was playing Remnant from the Ashes with a mate yesterday and he had just tried the Div 2 demo and reckoned it was great. Picked it up for £3.18 on Amazon, so that’ll probably be my multiplayer game after RftA.

@colonelkilgore Great game. I played it all solo, It did get a bit samey in places but I enjoyed the gameplay loop.

@JohnnyShoulder good to hear, I’ve never really been a ‘looter-shooter’ type of gamer but it does sound good. It helps (from my perspective) that it’s in 3rd person... the only other ‘looter-shooter’ I played prior to Remnant from the Ashes was Destiny, and I just don’t enjoy 1st person games as much.

@colonelkilgore I also played it pretty much solo but with some ransoms for harder re-runs.

I was pretty disappointed that they pretty much abandoned trying to have much of a plot as the first game had an interesting story I thought. They did massively improve the end game though so there was reason to keep playing.

Solid game though.

@Thrillho picked the first one up for a quid actually at the same time. Dont know if I’ll ever play the first but it was worth £1 just to have both on the shelf.

@Bentleyma- Quite fair i thought. A couple of sections were a bit tricky but nothing too taxing.

@colonelkilgore It’s been so long since I played either now but the gameplay isn’t vastly different but is improved from 1 to 2 but, like I say, the first game had an interesting plot while the second was just “go here and clear this region”.

The snowy New York landscape in the first game is pretty bleak and a classic of the “grey and brown urban” palate whereas Washington in the sun was a slightly more varied setting.

I played most almost exclusively solo.

@Thrillho Unusual that they changed tac so much between games... and interesting that for the most part the general audience has reacted so much more positive about the thinly-plotted sequel than the first game that had a strong narrative. I’ll play Division 2 in co-op as a good friend of mine suggested we get it and play it together. If I enjoy it... and if the servers are still operational by then maybe we’ll play the first one too one day.

Also, off the Division topic... i finally bought The Last of Us 2. Have been waiting on that and Ghost of Tsushima to come down in price (as I have more than enough in my backlog than to warrant paying full price for something that will sit on the shelf for a year or two). Got it for £24 but still no sign of GoT being reduced.

@colonelkilgore GoT is £30 in the PSN sale at the moment, the lowest price so far. Ends today though!

@Thrillho cheers bud, I want it physical though in all honesty. It’s fine though I’m in no particular rush as I don’t know when I’d be able to fit it in anyway.

Not really a purchase but I recently got into the free trial of Final Fantasy 14. This was a game I looked at for a while and kept thinking this just isn't for me. But now 2 weeks in, I'm loving it. Not really sure why but it's hitting all the right notes at the moment. I love the feeling of being immersed and this game has it in spades.

@colonelkilgore I play the division 2 mate and all I can say is be prepared to loose a lot of hours lol

@colonelkilgore @Thrillho if you have a tesco club card (don't know how much they are) it's on offer to tesco club card holders for £32

@MaulTsir I don't have a tesco club card but that is about the best reason I've ever heard to get one. Cheers for the info.

@MaulTsir I picked it up digitally yesterday in the sale 👍🏻

my latest ps4 purchase is their shoddy faulty controllers , im on my fifth one.

@nomither6 I bought a nacon pro controller about 4 years ago... one of the best purchases of last generation for me. Can’t wait for them to do a PS5 one.

@colonelkilgore @Thrillho @Th3solution @TraCuz- Just picked up Just Cause 3, hope it's everything you've all promised it will be!

@TheBrandedSwordsman well it’s a love it or hate it kinda thing... as long as your expectations in terms of narrative are low you should be fine.

@TheBrandedSwordsman As the Colonel says, the story is nonsense but keeps thing moving but it’s a proper sandbox game with quite a lot of freedom to do what you want. Hopefully you like it!
