Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD arrived earlier today. I won't start it until I've finished the various Persona spin-offs, but I'm pretty excited. It's also nice that we get the proper name, as the PS2 original was titled "Lucifer's Call" owing to a trademark issue.

I've been on a horror kick lately so decided to pick up Forbidden Siren and Corpse Killer - 25th Anniversary Edition on a whim from the current sales.

Last week I acquired Star Wars Squadrons... still haven't even unpacked it and I'm not sure when I will but it seemed like the right thing to do at €8

@RogerRoger Nope, don't have the VR set (100% gonna get the new one when it's out though).

@Voltan Murphy’s Law strikes again if it turns out to be true that Squadrons is on PS Plus next month after all. The rest of us appreciate you for making your offering to the gaming gods on our behalf so we can get it for ‘free.’ 😜

@Th3solution I saw that and if it turns out to be true, I'll probably never even put the disc in my console 😂
At that price I'm not even mad though

@Voltan True — €8 is nothing. You can resell it on the secondhand market for that. At the local game store a used copy is going to $18.

Just picked up really mint condition death stranding DualShock 4 lovely bit of kit

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yes, it is an appropriate title. Those fiends almost drove me to madness! I remember/have occasional flashbacks of being ambushed on a highway by Hell Biker just after exiting a dungeon, and then struggling to beat him as it's quite early in the game. My memory is hazy, but I think I couldn't go back to grind. I'd like to play with Dante in the remaster, but am not paying what they're charging! Do you know if the remaster is otherwise the same as the original European release? I can't imagine playing without all the additions you mention, either.

I just bought The Last of Us Part 2 from Argos (I haven't played either TLOU game before) and I got ID'd 😂

I am 31 and I look old, receding hairline, goatee beard and stubble but I am still mega flattered to get ID'd for it hahaha. I guess my beard was covered by my mask. I literally don't think I've ever been ID'd for a game before, even when I was a teenager buying restricted games. I remember one of my mates getting his sister to buy Vice City for him back then and finding it amusing because I'd never had to do that (then again, I don't think I bought Vice City when it came out)

@ralphdibny While I do believe TLOU2 is the better game, I'd suggest playing TLOU Remastered first! Pretty sure you can get it dirt cheap these days.

@Voltan I got that the other day too, don't worry. I wouldn't play a sequel without playing the first one! 90% of the time anyway lol

I just wanted to have the second one lined up for after I finished the first. Probably won't get around to either for some time anyway!

@ralphdibny Ah, alright! Amazing games, both of them

Omgosh I need to stop buying games, I just bought Mile Morales PS4 for £35 on Amazon.

This week I've also bought...
Blacksad Limited edition physical on Xbox £15 Amazon
Hitman definitive Xbox £10 the game collection
Hitman 2 Gold new and sealed xbox £18 eBay
Red Faction guerilla Xbox £5 - digital
Psychonauts VR PS4 -£8 digital

I think I am about to go back to Argos and buy Wolfenstein collection for £20 too, god help me 😭😂.

Edit: I've been trying to work out if Wolfenstein actually has all the games on disc in the UK, looks like it's got two games on disc and a dlc code for the other 2 games in the US and Europe and I guess we generally get similar releases to Europe but not always. Screw it, it's not worth another trip out today I think!

@Voltan just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on TLOU by the way, not sure if I was rude by not saying thanks in my original reply so thought I'd just drop a quick thanks for it!

Just picked up Crysis Remastered in the sale. I know it reviewed poorly at release but I always fancied playing the original Crysis and I think I remember Digital Foundry mentioning that it runs a lot better on PS5.

Ah, I couldn't remember exactly. My party may have been a little underlevelled at that point, so I'll be sure to be a bit more prepared. I didn't know what Raidou Kuzunoha looked like, but he has a pretty cool design and outfit, complete with cape, so I'll happily stick with him and Gouto. 😁 Is he the one from Devil Summoner?

@Bentleyma- it was a game that just had a striking look and a compelling concept and well, the reviews dropped and it was a buggy mess. It's a real shame. I never picked it up for that reason.

I saw it on the MS store for £6-7 and nearly pulled the trigger but I decided to just finally take the plunge and get the physical version for £15.

But yeah, had never even heard of Blacksad until that game come out. I'd be quite keen to pick up the translated graphic novels at some point!

I just purchased some family games I can play with my wife and kids - Jackbox Party Packs 1 and 2 (£7 and £8 in the store sale at the moment) and What the Dub? which is fun and was only about £5/6. We have some good fun on the Playlink games such as Chimparty, That's You and Frantics but thought I'd get some fresh additions.

@johncalmc I really like Unravel, it's good, you'll enjoy it!

Last purchases made together this week were Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition (£18.99) and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (£22.49 - bargain!). Both seem brilliant so far.

I seem to be slowly but inexorably moving away from the big first party blockbuster games in favour of mid and indie scale games. It's certainly good news for my wallet, and less buyer remorse too from any bad decisions!
