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

i am playing through ds3's dlc now, the lure is still strong of "soulslikes"

horizon looks so generic

the future/primitive concept is really uninteresting

has anyone played battlefield 1? is it worth the $30 it's currently on sale for on PSN?

I like it! And would say yes. Though I have been playing almost exclusively with a friend, can't say for sure if it's as fun if you're going solo.

Yeah, it's worth it.

apparently i can get it bundled with titanfall 2 for $50. that seems like a really good deal.

i guess my only question now is which one should i play first?

If you're playing multiplayer, probably BF1. TF2 multi is really good, but there's a bit of a learning curve that I still haven't seemed to overcome. Always getting my ass kicked in a mech. Single player you'd be better off with TF2 I guess. I'm not terribly stoked on it (too handhold-y) but I seem to be firmly in the minority there.

i like the TF2 campaign a lot. it's a v generically written game but the gameworld and the mechanics are plenty evocative on their own. i just finished the sequence in the manufacturing lab and i thought it was a pretty clever level.

is it worth the $30 it's currently on sale for on PSN?

Grrrr! I bought this for my bf only a couple months back and paid $80 for it grumble.

it's crazy how quickly things get discounted now. and i have such a games backlog that i rarely feel pressure to buy a game new.

reviews really good for nier 2 so far

im about to pick up a pro tonight after ~7yrs of not rly playing games

whats the best game?

Metal Gear, Dark Souls, Inside imo

Bloodborne imo but probably depends on what u like in a game! Xp

ya im actually getting it bc i want to play mgs 5

shld i get the first or second one?

and im open to suggestions

might trade off human interaction for console interaction

I think the greatest hits thing includes the main MGS V and the prologue thing that was early released

the first part is just one large mission and sets up the background for the main game

Not quite true - there is one large story mission, which then unlocks several short missions on the same map, each of which is really fun, can be beaten in many difft ways, and takes place at difft times of day

correction -- I didn't spend enough time on the prologue and should return to it because I mainly did the main mission :)

It's "arcadey" in a way. I used to go back to the side missions a lot just to see how quickly I could beat them, or to see if I could go completely undetected etc

Ground Zeroes is super polished (moreso than TPP) and is crucial to the MGSV story and has probably the best base map in any MGS game. the side ops you can run are all a lot of fun and can be super challenging, i spent a good 50 hours (???) on this prologue.

that mission where you snipe two guys from afar -- let's see you sneak in and safely extract them!
that mission where you must blow up 3 anti-aircraft guns and a tank -- let's see you do that with no weapons!

pussied out btw

aw hell yeah

import reviews of that have been terrible tho :(

really! didn't hear.

Nier 2 is confoundingly great. it isn't one of Platinum's tighter games (it will probably feel janky AF to anyone who's played Bayonetta or Revengeance) and a bunch of saving/loading issues feel incredibly archaic, but I just got the main ending after ~35 hours of playtime and I loved pretty much every second. I really want to make Chrono Trigger comparisons - it's a collaboration between a bunch of genre titans, multiple endings are crucial, it explores a big complex topic through multiple viewpoints, etc. it was so much fun that I've barely had time to play The Show 17, although I think I'm gonna try to get through Night in the Woods before I vanish down that rabbit hole for another year. meanwhile I still need to find time to play P5 and Y0 and (apparently) HZD. this is a daunting volume of video gamery to be facing when the bombs could start falling any day now.

I wonder if there will be a single case of someone buying a PS4 just to play knack 2

we should vaccinate now, just to be sure

My six year old really loved Knack so I'll probably get it once it drops in price

I peacocked your mom in high definition: http://kotaku.com/now-yakuza-2-is-getting-a-hd-remake-1798413954

final fantasy IX?

Huh?

Btw, since I STILL keep getting confused on these two, which one(s) are actually good?
Nioh and Nier?

Probably gonna pick up some BF deals, most likely one or both Yakuzas from this year and maybe Tekken 7/MvC Infinite

Haven't played either but it seems like Nioh is somewhat like Dark Souls and Nier is more Bayonetta-ish? They're both supposed to be good.

nier automata is great

been playing Fortnight , it's free atm

so i picked up a psvr headset and holy shit rez infinite is astonishing

Haha so glad to hear somebody else say that, because nobody ever really seems to believe me when I talk about it.

first played it on the dreamcast (and then again on xbox) but vr is really the technology it's been waiting for since 2001 - the sense of being J A C K E D I N to this retro-gibson cyberspace world is amazing

still struggling a bit with motion sickness and i wish the screen was a bit more high-res but i'm really impressed by the kit overall

do you have the normal PS4 or the pro? Hesitant to upgrade to the latter for a few reasons

just a regular first-gen ps4, which often sounds like an airplane taking off nowadays :(

ps+ games for december are Darksiders 2 and Kung Fu Panda
i mean

those may be the first ones I don't autodownload out of completionist tendencies

sony have ruined xmas

Someday you kids will realize that there’s more important stuff to worry about, than what games you get in any given month of PS+. I still play Galak-Z; I’m getting my PS3 back tomorrow and intend to enjoy the hell out of the offerings there. I also have a Vita and PS4.. there’s games which scored highly that I’ve never gotten around to, yet fully intend to play, eventually.

The thing is, I have hobbies outside of video games. That’s not even touching the responsibilities which every actual, grown-ass human being needs to worry about…. I mean, back in the day I worried about the RIAA pounding down the door of a little old lady, trying to charge her for what a hacker did with her connection.

Call the freaking WHAAMMbulance! ….or try to play some of the games that you gripe about. Maybe after you’ve watched a friend or three die, you’ll realize that video games aren’t that important.

Darksiders is fun

ALMOST makes me curious to check out PS VR

my boy is asking for one of these now, despite our just getting a switch, bc his friends are playing fortnite online I guess. I've never played a sony console before but it's cool, I want to play persona 5 & other jrpgs so between switch & this, life is good. But what I wanna know is: is the "slim" model the way to go in 2018 or should I spend more for the PRO model. we don't have a 4k tv and are unlikely to get one in the next 3 years or so.

the regular is probably fine. but note that some games are starting to get "optimized" for the Pro so they get better frame rates and such, like the Shadow of the Colossus remake coming out next month

persona 5 is really good. really long. i may even finish it some day soon. i've got nier automata and yakuza 0 on the docket.
