Re: Review: Flipping Death (PS4)

+1 for the Stick it to the Man love

That said, this review could easily have been written for that game as it had the same pluses and negatives as this game seems to. May well pick it up at some point.

Snake Eater is still top for me. I loved the changes they made, although the lack of mini-map and sight cones took some getting used to. MGS a very close second and is a game I completed so many times.

Peace Walker was great fun on the PSP and I actually really liked the art style. So many features were used later on in TPP as well, including the beloved fulton system.

MGS4 is a weird one as I don't remember a lot of it at all. I played 1-3 so many times but that game only once and don't have anywhere near as fond memories of it, even if the ending is all worth it.

@zeppray I assume you mean Surviving Mars? These were incredibly useful guides:

Key points;
-Exporting rare metals is priority one
-Stick to living quarters as apartments are resource heavy
-Use outsourcing of tech early on to get a good head start
-Self sufficiency for polymers etc is key. Polymers as the easiest I found as fuel and water you often have in abundance early on.

Re: Almost Half of All PS4 Software Now Purchased Digitally

New games I always buy on disc but, like mentioned in the article, I'm buying much more in the PS Store when the sales are on these days.

The added bonus of downloaded games is that I don't get kicked from the game when my console occasionally does the random disc eject thing..

XCOM2 fully deserves top spot and the different the War of the Chosen DLC makes is amazing; it's more like XCOM2.5 after playing it.

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Tropico though. I've played it through twice with some of the DLC as well but I don't think it's actually that good a game. I do like that it's more mission based than games like City Skylines though.

I'm currently playing Surviving Mars though which probably warrants a place on this list. I'm just terrible at it.

I have never played Diablo. True fact.

I also only played the Borderlands Pre-Sequel earlier this year and remembered how much I love that series (Telltale game included). I still have BL2 to play on this gen but know how much I'll get sucked back in when I do..

@AFCC I was the same having only played Infinite after it was a PS+ game on the PS3. I'd only ever played the demo for Bioshock 1 and it didn't grab me. But I really enjoyed playing the whole series and the DLC for Infinite is great too.

As for myself, it's a game from my PS4 PS+ collection at the moment in Rayman Legends which is good fun. Loving the music levels at the end of each world!
