Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

Just pre-ordered Resident Evil Village ... it will be glorious!!! I can't remember the last time I had such hype for a game!

Randomly started watching a 3 hour+ video about Darksiders 2 over the weekend (just auto-played after whatever else I was watching) and it tweaked my curiosity. Just picked it up (The Deathfinitive Edition 🤣) for a fiver.

I have 3 too as it was on PS+ a while ago, never played it though. I did intend on picking up the first Darksiders too but I couldn't find a copy.

Just found a copy of Darksiders: Warmastered Edition for £9. So it’s just Darksiders: Genesis that I don’t have now, it doesn’t look as appealing to me as the trilogy though... I’ll see how much I like 1, 2 & 3 and then decide whether or not I’ll complete the quadrilogy.

@colonelkilgore Think I've got them all from Plus and Now at some point. Only played the first one on 360 though. I really liked it at the time but not sure if it has aged that well. It has Mark Hamill voicing a character, which automatically gets it 9/10 by me.

@JohnnyShoulder well that’s a nice surprise, Hamill is always a bonus.

I’m not expecting a ‘great’ deal from the series but I was a little intrigued by the way you play a different member of the four horseman in each game and that each game plays out in different aspects of the action adventure/action RPG genres with each entry. From what I’ve heard, the original is ‘quite’ old school God of War, the sequel is fairly 3D Zelda and the threequel is somewhat souls-like... and the fourth is like Diablo. That intrigues me.

Picked up Ghost of Tsushima the other day. Late to the party, but what an excellent game so far. Definitely one of the best games on PS4.

I got those Yarny games because the bundle was like £3 on PSN. I'll probably never even play them honestly.

@RogerRoger
Yes, much better than I expected. The thing about Sucker Punch is they've been making infamous games for a long time now. I enjoyed those but this is quite a leap in quality. The characters and their relationships are a lot more interesting here as well.

@Bentleyma- I’m pretty tempted too, played ME and ME2 on 360 and I remember really liking them. I did start ME3 on PS3 but never ended up finishing it for some reason.

@Bentleyma- I think they’ll hold up well but I’ll wait to see if it drops in price a little and/or a PS5 upgrade does happen.

I have yet to play the first game in the series though so I look forward to being able to do that rather than just make the quick decisions that they put at the beginning of ME2.

@Bentleyma- Absolutely. But I’ve got plenty of other stuff to play and seeing as it’s PS4, it’s more likely to have a price drop at some point.

I still have Ghost of Tsushima to get to first!

@LieutenantFatman I actually thought inFamous 2 was very high in quality as far as the PS3 era goes... it does seem like they didn’t pay Second Son and First Light the same level of attention though (I’m yet to play them but from what I’ve been told that is). Still, it does seem that Ghost of Tsushima has been the mark of their ascension to Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Santa Monica levels.

@colonelkilgore
That's the thing, if you asked me for a synopsis of each Uncharted game, I could give you a fair amount of detail. Infamous 2, I can't recall any details of the plot. I do remember they controversially changed Cole a fair bit. But of course there's quality and then there's being memorable.

@LieutenantFatman infamous and infamous 2's quality was in the playability for me... Uncharted's quality is more in narrative and presentation. As a result I can see why people would remember the story of Uncharted more than that of infamous... but by the same token I remember flowing through infamous 2's map telekinetically hurling cars at enemies over taking cover in Uncharted 😉

@colonelkilgore
That's true! It's not all about the story, messing about with crazy superpowers is always good fun.

@Bentleyma- I have a good feeling about Biomutant.

@Bentleyma- @colonelkilgore God, I hope Biomutant does end up being good. I’ve tried to keep an eye out for it during development but they had periods of 6-12 months where there’d be nothing at all on their social media or the game’s website.

I’m just amazed it is releasing at all to be honest.

@Thrillho it might just me my natural optimism but I kinda feel the project doing dark was due to it generating considerably more interest than they expected back when it was first unveiled. So they must've thought, we got a genuine shot at making something big here, maybe we can reevaluate how much we can get out of this product and put some extra time in if necessary to maximise its potential.

Or it could just as easily be development problems and the games garbage, anyones guess is as good as mine right now. I hope it's the former though

@colonelkilgore i guess it will be a sleeper hit.

a damn good polished and fun game.

whatever the reason of the very long silence and long development,i think it will pay off and it will play in the game's favour.

early impression from youtubers etc seem to be exiting aswell.

@jdv95 good to hear that the early impressions seem positive. I won't get around to playing it for a while anyway (at least a year probably) but it is something I plan on eventually playing through depending on reviews and user impressions.
