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

i have never played it, but i always kind of imagined it as dark souls with guns?

the guns are sort of a red herring tbh, they're a combo piece, more shield parry than damage dealing. it's weird. the game is Great tho.

and yeah witcher/open world don't have any bearing

OK, bought. My backlog, though...

What Remains of Edith Finch is on sale for $12, I should get?

For the past few months, Sony have had a doggone siphon in my wallet.

did you get Spider-Man, cause damn it's good

If you like pure narrative titles and walking simulators (I do) And you can stomach some slightly twee magic realism (I can’t) then yep it’s worth a play.

thought you were talking about spider-man for a sec. now that's a game i would play

I doubt I'm getting Spidey (webslinging "feels good man" doesn't have much appeal to me).

I'm not sure about the pure narrative/walking simulator part, but maybe I just haven't found the right one? I'm all for twee magical realism though.

The combat is pretty fun. It's basically just batman but it's a good batman game.

pretty much. still, there's a real love and attention to geeky detail that puts it over the top IMO

TLOU Remastered is $10 in the PS store right now. I'm almost tempted to get it just to have it on PS4.

it's a classic. i got the PS4 disc version on sale for the same reason

probably a good thing to replay around the time the sequel comes out, though I don't remember how long a full playthrough is. 15-20 hours?

Spider-Man reminded me how much I love the arkham games, and i remembered that I'd never played the Season Pass content from Arkham Knight, so I've spent the last week doing the combat challenges and DLC missions. In fairness to WB they did give a lot for that pass, even if a lot of it's small DLC missions, alt-costumes or tons of tank/racing/predator challenges I'm not gonna touch

Hollow Knight out today, I'm excited.

I tried to sell two games to Gamestop, and they offered $6 (PFFFFT). Is ebay/Amazon the better bet nowadays?

(Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection FWIW. And that's $6 total.)

ugh.
GameStop has always been terrible, tbf. i'd go with eBay or craigslist

tbf i think you can find each for about that much individually or a little bit more new

yeah old non Nintendo games sell for like 10-20 bucks new these days which puts a pretty low ceiling on trade ins

the way to game on the cheap now is just to be a year behind, not to resell everything

reselling's for suckas anyway. you gotta hoard it all, forever, like a troll

But I don't even want to think about Uncharted anymore! (I still have Lost Legacy in my download queue.)

Give them to goodwill or something. You got your money’s worth.

you could attach tiny leather straps to them and make a nice pair of little cymbals

I guess God of War for $25 is a no-brainer, right? What else?
Dragonball FighterZ is a great game which I picked up at release.

Getting God of War and, if it goes on sale, Spider-man, assuming that my family, as usual, hasn't picked up on any of my gifting hints.

yeah i'll probably pick up god of war and fallout 4

maybe an extra controller

tetris effect is game of the year

definitely the game that most makes me sad i dont have one

first game that's made me wish I had VR

definitely considering VR just for this game. still dope without it tho

I plotzed over a few hours into Horizon Zero Dawn in the other thread, but getting a decent way through the game, there are a LOT of rough patches (just starting with the facial animations and the uneven game mechanics, the ) -- like, how is this one of the PS4's best selling games ever?

And yet, the main story line has grabbed me! (Which I know goes against the general ILG ethos, but IMAMAVERICK.)

This was cool. Taking a classic Tetris player and plugging him into VR for the first time.

xp i don't think horizon is one of the best selling ps4 games? maybe if you only count first party games

It’s a question that’s actually probably not best suited to Wikipedia: this chart looks more like I’d expect (which is to say, depressing)

http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/69/playstation-4/

Huh I'm not sure where I got the best selling thing from!

But anyway, some of the world building is so moving and breathtakingly epic.

Wow, EU is out-buying NA, and not just for FIFA titles. What's up with that?

NA is more split between ps4 and xbox, EU is full on sony territory

Ah, that makes sense

Yep UK is still relatively balanced but there are plenty of EU regions where the combined market share of Microsoft and Nintendo is still sub 10%.

anyone gonna pick up that new tetris?

Yeah I played a bit last night. Mizughuchi would 100% be my favourite developer if only his taste in music was a bit less cringey.

But yeah it's already my favourite Tetris ever. And I've only played in 2d so far, haven't got round to plugging the pace in yet.

Er pace? psvr.

damn thanks for reminding me it's out

Looks cool, but also looks like something I'd prefer on the Switch. Can't imagine playing Tetris on my TV.

Nier Automata is $20 online for Best Buy's Black Friday, so I'll be getting that despite my demo experience. I assume the sale price will only be in effect around BF time?

Oh whoops I checked the Reddit thread and it said it starts on 11/22.

i thought the demo (at least the one i played) was awful. it wasn't fun, and it didn't really capture what the real game (which is fun and addicting) is actually like to play.
