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

RDR2? Horizon Zero Dawn I liked a lot - probably inexpensive now.

Isn't RDR2 slow and huge? That's among the things I disliked about Witcher 3. HZD is pretty small by comparison.

absolutely do yakuza 0

spidey spidey spidey

seconding spidey; it's great

I've finished the main story and am still playing, just tooling around, whacking fools. i NEVER do that. the core mechanics are so satisfying that actually i occasionally kind of resent having to play the main story??

MGS5 is great, both wolfenstein games, doom. skyrim if you haven't already gone there. Leftfield pick: Rayman, charming, easy but such fun.

Spider-man is tons of fun.

I forgot my usual caveat of no first person games! So no Doom or Wolfenstein obviously but that also rules out Skyrim.

Tracer, I’m like you in that after I beat the base game I’m usually done with it, but I’ve NEVER experienced gameplay that feels good enough to want to play just for its sensuousness. Maybe I’ll play Spidey eventually but it’ll probably need to be in the $20 range with the DLC included.

Yakuza does sound like it’s my speed though!

is no first person for motion sickness reasons or do you just not like it

You can play Skyrim in 3rd person

Motion sickness. I couldn't even get through Edith Finch!

I also think that I need a strong central narrative. I'm not interested in simply exploring the world and coming up with my own stories.

ok guys overcooked might be the best local multiplayer I've ever experienced

it's scarily addictive

days gone looks like the AAA game equivalent of nu-metal

fucking hell, it took me 2 hours to load and it was like a bad channel 5 late night movie or something. Lousy gameplay, hmm let's follow a horse for nearly 10 minutes with some tedious expository "world building" dialogue. not for me.

same

glad I'm not the only one who thinks that because this is my first games console action since about 2001. maybe the online version might be fun though.

Skyrim does have a central story, and it's pretty good even though there's not a lot of it. And if you play the main track of the game it's pretty linear.

rockstar games are popular because of the graphics and the scale and the "detail porn" aka depth of simulation, not the gameplay.

i can't imagine someone disliking Witcher but liking Skyrim unless theyre specifically into the character customization

Hi, I'm that person. Witcher looks gross to me.

I'm not a Witcher fan, either.

yeah i get it but i mean in terms of making recommendations I'd need a pretty strong read there

The Witcher is the Red Dead of fantasy videogame RPGs.

I on't like Rockstar games nor anything that dwells in that gamespace.

RDR2 has a really slow intro, and if you didn't like the story during that part you're not going to like where it goes from there, most likely. i found it to be really fun once it opened up to an actual open world game, but it takes several hours of gameplay before you're past the tutorial missions and you can finally get a decent setup with most of core game mechanics unlocked. by the time you get that far, you'll have watched the guy ride his horse and have really dumb conversations for a really long time, though

don't play online

good general advice for gaming in 2019

To play devil's advocate against my own feelings on this subject: PERSONA 5 has a painfully slow and protracted tutorial dungeon, but it ended up loving the game.

persona is on like a different planet from AAA open world games though, apples and oranges

play yakuza 0

I most probably will! Just going to wait till the end of the month (when my coupon expires) in case it goes on sale.

I was going to curse the PS4 Media player but it is actually very good. It wasn't initially working because it doesn't recognise any files unless you put them in a folder. Not tried its subtitles capabilities yet though.

Because I am adult saddo I don't have any friends on PS4 (or IRL but that's another matter), any ilxorz want to add me? I'm redhalcyon, I think.

I tried to add you but it wouldn’t let me because it said your settings don’t allow it (?)

I’m a terrible PS4 friend though because I don’t have a headset

same on both counts

yall should add me! i havent added friends since my old job so i just keep seeing ex coworkers pop up

brillidotam - and yes you can't change names and yes it refers to a website i no longer own fml

i thought they were adding the ability to do a one time name change

OH HEY you're right! I just looked it up. will be able to do it once in "early 2019" apparently (hey isnt that now)

Oh yeah lol I turned it off because I had a rando try to add me and I heard there was an exploit related to that. I'll change it tonight! I don't have a headset either! Then we can party like socially anxious introverts only can!

i don't have a ps4 yet but i could add you on my vita

OK I updated my privacy settings!

ps4: josephcotten

hahahaha i was just wondering the other day who that was. apparently we have been friends on there for a while

Are you orsonwelles?

brillidotam

anyone getting a french friend request, that is (probably) me

Initials MG?
