Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

Just purchased Disgaea 1 Complete. Never played the first, think I chanced upon the series on number 3 back in the PS3 days so will be interesting to see how it all started.
Weirdly it was cheaper to buy from official site (NISEurope) than anywhere else I could find it, even cheaper than some pre-order copies!
So will stick it in the backlog and prepare myself for the grind...
Dood!

Just picked up Hitman HD Collection as @RogerRoger had just mentioned that Absolution had a fun trophy list and when I checked the PSStore the HD Collection was on sale.

@RogerRoger cheers dude, it was one of those situations where you receive a recommendation and the thing being recommended is currently going super-cheap for a short time only. A reflex purchase if ever there was one... glad I ended up with the better version.

Just got my hand on Lost Judgment, it's possible to lose entire evenings to strolling the city
Looking forward to spend few hours on that

Just picked up Gods will Fall in the sale. Looks pretty cool but haven’t heard anything about it… the trailer mentioned solids-like mixed with rogue-like (the former I love, the latter I will be making a concerted effort to get into), so I pulled the trigger.

Hardly had time to play any games this year. Only bought one and that was Tales of Arise a few weeks ago. Enjoying the gameplay so far. Not a big fan of some of the character designs but I love the art direction. The environments especially looks gorgeous.

@Bentleyma- is that the game where you can perch on the top of bamboo like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? If so, I caught a trailer a few weeks ago and was impressed.

@Bentleyma- That does look pretty interesting. I’ve heard nothing about that game, surprisingly.

This was sometime last week but I bought The King Of Fighters: The Orochi Saga PS2 Classic for only $2 (I had some change on my US Account) as I had a hankering for a fighting game

... KoF '94 & '95 are really bloody hard though even on the easiest difficulty. '96 thankfully seems to not have an godly AI on difficulty setting 1 and I can actually play that just fine... 😅

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I absolutely feel you there, I have the PSP version of that and I just get slaughtered over and over in ‘94!

I may or may not have spent 2 hours last night trying to get through '95 before hitting a brick wall on the final team @nessisonett.

I thought Tekken 5 and Jinpachi was bad where I could sometimes take 20 minutes against that barstool! 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Jinpachi is horrible to fight but the old KOF games are like that every single fight! Gill from Street Fighter 3 is also incredibly difficult but at least I can sort of get that down consistently these days since going back. The old KOF games are brutal 😂

Yeah but Tekken 5 had some great endings though to make it worthwhile!

and I'm very much much learning that now in regards to KoF @nessisonett 😂

Surprisingly I can actually pull off the specials fairly consistantly too. I'm usually rubbish at anything but MK's/Injustice's simple 3 button special/combo strings...

I'm not pulling off any stupid 10 button super combo mind you or stringing any of these attacks together but I'm awful at Street Fighter, Tekken & Soul Calibur inputs when I've tried them over the years despite trying many hours in the various training stages...

Yet I can bizarrely do some of these six or seven button layouts in KoF and frankly I'm not quite sure how...

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It probably depends on the controller you’re using as well. It’s almost unplayable on the PSP with how uncomfortable it feels 😂

... I really... Really... REALLY shouldn't have bought anything else with what I've already got on my plate... 😳

But Yakuza: Kiwami was only £6.39 or summet in the recent sale so.... Yeah. Don't judge me!!! 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I haven't paid attention to your experience with the Yakuza series, but have you played through Yakuza 0 yet? Or is Kiwami your next Yakuza game?

Ahh yeah you wouldn't have known @LtSarge but I played through Yakuza 0 back in Feb/March earlier this year and really enjoyed my time with it

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Ah okay, that would explain it then! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. While others may say that Kiwami is underwhelming compared to 0, I actually appreciate Kiwami very much because it connects a lot of elements from 0 while the later Yakuza titles tend to have their own stand-alone stories if that makes any sense. Anyway, hopefully you'll enjoy Kiwami as well!

Yeah I didn't get anywhere near doing all the stuff for 0 @Iver so the fact that Kiwami's shorter means I may end up giving that a bit more of a shot whenever I get to Kiwami...

... Though Mahjong is no doubt gonna wreck me along with all the chinese gambling games that were in 0 if they return as well 😅

Yeah from what I recall the end sequence of 0 seemed to imply Nishiki would be heavily involved in Kiwami @LtSarge so I'm looking forward to that!

I am a touch disappointed that ma boi Majima is only a supporting role going onwards in the series as I really enjoyed his arc through 0.

But if I recall Kiwami has the "Majima everywhere" mechanic or whatever it's called. Plus he is a fan favourite for a reason so... I should still see plenty of the mad dog

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It's quite jarring to see Majima in his snakeskin jacket after getting so used to him as a suave figure in Zero.

Majima Everywhere is funny and incredibly annoying at the same time and interesting to be fighting him when he's using the different combat modes you used while playing as him in Zero!

There's quite a few little nods to Zero as well in the Kiwami remake which I liked. And yes, it's a hell of a lot shorter than Zero which was quite welcome. Enjoy! (and then go get Kiwami 2 which is one of the best in the series)
