I've beaten a few games in the past month including AC: Syndacite, South Park Stick of Truth, Resident Evil Revelations 2 Ep. 1, and most recently the Captain Scarlett DLC from Borderlands 2. I have recently been craving horror games. Which is why I played the first episode of RE Revelations (which I think I might have gotten for free at some point), but I unfortunately don't have the other episodes. Now I am playing through Outlast because I have it from when it was free on PS Plus and I only played the intro back when I first downloaded it. I am really liking it so far I think I'm a little over halfway through it. Is the DLC worth it? I'm also thinking about getting Alien Isolation or Evil Within to scratch my horror game itch, but am debating whether or not waiting for a sale because of my long backlog and lack of free time.
@KratosMD: Okay, cool. I have tried out RE4 and Revelations, but the controls in RE4 were a little too weird to get used to. I did like Revelations though and I'll check out the other ones you mentioned as well.
The last few games I beat were Outlast, Mad Max, the Borderlands 2 DLCs and the Automatron DLC for Fallout 4.
Outlast was a game I started when it came out because of Plus, but after dying a couple times in the beginning segment I just gave up on. I came back to it because I was craving a good horror game, and that was one I had, but never gave a real chance to. I thoroughly enjoyed Outlast. There was a perfect amount of really tense moments, but also downtime that let you relax a little bit. The length was perfect, story was intriguing, gameplay was fluid and easy to control.
Mad Max was really fun at first, but when I took a long break from it, coming back to it was a chore to play it. I stopped enjoying the car combat, and the environments became very redundant and boring. However, the story picked up towards the end, but overall I was slightly disappointed.
I beat Borderlands 2 awhile ago, but came back to it after purchasing The Handsome Collection. I wasn't planning on playing them. I bought the collection solely for The Pre-Sequel, but I'm glad I did. I was in the mood for some mindless looting and first person shooting. Like most people, my favorite DLC was Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. The story was quirky and fun.
Lastly, The Automatron DLC was short, but fun. I bought the season pass for Fallout 4 at launch, beat the main game awhile ago, and have been waiting to play the DLC until they are all released. I wanted to be able to come back to The Commonwealth with a big chunk of content. Automatron was a good re-introduction into Fallout 4 after being away for awhile. I beat it in two short sittings, and then played around with some of the crafting DLCs as well. After that, I started the Far Harbor DLC, which I am looking forward to. If it's anything like Fallout 3's Point Lookout DLC then I will be happy. Seems promising thus far.
Finished Transformers: Devastation over the weekend.
Great fun. The combat is satisfying and easy to do, and the presentation is spot on. Wasn't sold on the need for the different weapons etc. Environments are a bit samey, and it's super short, but I enjoyed my time with it. Definitely worth playing if you've got PS Plus.
I recently finished Batman: Arkham Knight plus it's dlc missions. Really good game, I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the other Arkham games. The tank battles are a bit too frequent as are the sheer number of watchtowers and checkpoints that you have to take down. The presentation of the game is crazy good though, honestly looks incredible and I thought the story was very good. Also the surprise appearance of one character was incredible well done throughout the game, the way the game weaved their appearance into both the story and your free-roaming was so good.
I bought PS plus and have been playing Star Wars battlefront lately. lots of fun (^_^ )
I don't know that the game can be "beaten" traditionally, but just recently I got "Ackbar's greatest" trophy for beating every single mission. I think that counts for something right? btw, I wish there were more hairstyles in the game. And I don't know why the update forces us to wear stormtrooper helmets. (-. - ) Oh well. I can't complain too much since they finally included Scout Trooper (which I absolutely love) and those black trooper outfits for women.
Also, I beat Donkey Kong Country, which brings my total of SNES games I've beat up to 3. Sad.
@Utena-mobile: I've been really tempted by Battlefront lately (especially after watching the Death Star dlc) but I'm already picking up three shooters this autumn so I think I'll give it a miss. It does look good though
@Hego: No problem. Knowing EA they'll probably do a Goty version or something later on with all of the DLC included. You can just wait for that. (^_ ^ )/
Well tonight I finally got round to finishing Mafia 2 (despite having owned it for 6 years..) and I'm pretty close to getting the Platinum on it as well, which will be interesting because it's also the first time I'm going out of my way to get trophies.
I just finished Mafia 3 and loved it. The gameplay is repetitive but the story had me hooked from start to finish. It's been awhile since I played a game that wasn't made my Naughty Dog that had such a great cast.
I recently ventured back to the Crash Bandicoot series on PS1, Crash 1, 2 and 3 and completed them. I could never do them as a young en' back in the day.
@KratosMD: If you're good at the game or you can brute force your way through, the Bloodborne platinum isn't that bad. Obviously the game is harder than a coffin nail, but the trophies are mostly tied to killing bosses, and the ones for finding items/weapons don't take a long time/much effort. There's not much in the way of missables, especially if you've already figured out how to get the various ending trophies.
The one trophy that will cause you some upset is the Yharnam Queen one. The fight with her isn't so bad, but getting to her is an almighty slog. Here's a fiver's worth of free advice - look up the quickest route to her in a guide. The chalice dungeons are a labyrinth and no good can come of trying to find her on your own.
@KratosMD: Yeah it's a situation where there's dozens of different options and finding the right route to the final dungeon would take hours and hours. Probably tens of hours. It's already a chore with a guide since you have to farm some of them to get the right number of items to create the dungeon you need. But it would be ten times worse without a guide. All for one measly trophy.
