A PS4 Thread: Because You Had to Play "Knack"

The tack I've ultimately settled on for any big game is to do as many of the side jobs as possible before progressing with the main story. Because the side stuff just feels like a mop-up job after I've completed some epic task.

yeah thats what i've realized -- i would normally skip them at this point because the loot wont be any good but otoh they're usually so well done that it might be fun to play through them with low stakes

I was going to play my batman game last night but again... why the hell does the riddler want me to complete weird racetracks in the batmobile

I'd shelve that quest indefinitely but as you unlock pieces you get to play as Catwoman, which is fun

want to play Witcher 3... but Witcher 1 and 2 are in the backlog

high level titanfall play is just o_O

lots of announcements today - Last Of Us 2, Marvel vs Capcom, Knack 2 (lol), Wipeout 4K collection, Parappa HD (yey!), Yakuza 6 & 1st remake coming West etc.

Oh and Ni No Kuni 2 looks real pretty, although I could do without the voice acting

TLoU 2.... all over my face pls

Yeah, Knack was really bad for a launch game.

Got it for my six year old who loves it but compared to something like Ratchet and Clank or the Lego games, it's so boring and repetitive.

wipeout!!

finally the ps4 will feel like a proper playstation! still love breaking out the vita wipeout every now and again, even although i am v poor at wipeout and always have been

fucking hell 20 years since the first wipeout i am old ;_;

make playstation wipeout again

This newest slate of announcements is the first real inducement I've had to consider maybe possibly investing in a PS4 sometime within the next five years or so.

i used to get worked up about backward compatibility but life moves on i guess, i'm never going to play vib ribbon again am i

you can play vib-ribbon on the ps3 and vita iirc

once i move to a 4 i mean

oh yeah then you're fucked

thanks based sony

and goodbye to beyond good & evil ;_;

my ps3 has been sitting on the floor next to the television since I bought a ps4

I'd put it somewhere better, but... busy playing PS4

I just recently bought a protection plan for my PS3, ensuring I'll be firmly last gen for most of the remainder of this decade.

just realised that the ps3 is now just over 10 years old and that i now have a backlog of unplayed games which spans multiple console generations

i'm gonna die never having played nino no kuni aren't i

lol, i've just been giving systems and backlog away lately to friends
the look on my friend's face when she started playing super mario galaxy 2 was super classic

I have a copy of that that I still have to play - which is ridiculous because SMG is one of the best games I've ever played and I've mostly heard that the sequel is better.

And yet I'm worse on the other systems - vis my question here is: if I get a PS4 to catch up on a generation of games, will it be able to play the generation of PS3 games that I didn't play either?

Not from what I understand.

life is a river my friend

there's always playstation now lol

basically my retirement plan is to rent a closet with an internet connection and poopsock my way into the great hereafter

you want to live in opening chapters of ready player one?

oh is that what that's about?

mainly it's about how fat nerds are the best iirc

Your dream speaks powerfully to me, ulysses.

I might even finish FFX 100% if they can get the human lifespan up by a decade or so by then.

only reason i haven't bought a PS4 yet is you still can't play Demon's Souls on it

i'm gonna die never having played nino no kuni aren't i

it's an absolute joy but by no stretch of the imagination even remotely essential

What's more essential than JOY? (I haven't finished it yet either)

i mean like i can't actually remember if i beat it, i had some nice memories but they're all vague and cloudy.

i remember it being super grindy but that may be how i played it. i know i didn't last more than a few days.

that stories game on ps plus is pretty good as is the nier automata demo

i got these on sale, can anyone vouch for these:
verdun (looked like a shittier bf1 yet somehow way way better than bf1?!?)
slain back from hell (lol)
inside

inside is awesome, play it

ten bucks was enough for me to buy; will report back.

tempted to bite on that too from the praise i've heard here

im sure i'll like inside, limbo was rly good

just picked up Ratchet and Clank for $10 on gamestop

Anyone try Let It Die?

Doesn't look like it's quite for me, but it also looks insane.

ok i picked up Inside too tho it might have to wait for me to finish witcher 3 and mankind divided b4 i get to it

Inside only takes a couple hours start to finish.

omg, Inside was spectacular. probably the most engaged i've been with a game since i put down dark souls 3
speaking of which, i'm replaying that and downloaded the new add on.

seriously though, do get Inside
it's more insightful about AI and frankenstein morality than the whole first season of Westworld... and there's no spoken words!
