Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

I'm looking for a recommendation (as i'm pretty sure ME:A will be given up on pretty soon!), I've been seeing things about Persona 5 and a lot of people seem to be ranting and raving about how good this series is?

Descriptions seem a little vague and generic when reading up on it but what other games does it compare to?
Can I just jump right in at number 5 or do i need to look up 1 to 4?

Thanks @KratosMD so it's a bit like Final Fantasy with the turn based stuff and a bit like Catherine with the socialising stuff??

Consider me intrigued and I have a few games to trade in, so I might just make a jump straight in to P5

@KratosMD Not sure what Euros equates to in dollars but if it's $20 I would say go for it especially if you were curious about that game. Just do some research and see what you are getting yourself into.

Just bought a PS4 for Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV, and am looking for other games to add to me collection. I plan on getting Horizon and MGSV, which I heard were excellent games, but am unclear as to what else to buy, especially when it comes to RPGs.

Anyone have any recommendations? I've thought about getting the Star Ocean game, but saw that it had pretty bad reviews.

Edit: Not generally a fan of online multiplayer heavy games (i.e., Overwatch, Call of Duty). Just never got into them.

@Kogorn733
Wasteland 2 is a great RPG, it's a good port of the pc game if you don't have a pc, Divinity: Original Sin is similar in style but more traditional setting. Fallout 4 and Skyrim if you like that style. Borderlands Handsome Collection has RPG mechanics in a shooter. Dark Souls 3 is fabulous, again if you like that style. Until Dawn is not an rpg, but a 'cinematic' game, and a good ps4 exclusive.

@KratosMD Honestly if No Man's Sky was that price at launch, I wouldn't have think it unreasonable, but $60.

@KratosMD Right. Sometimes I like games like that. Like Overwatch for example I will binge on it when a new Character or map comes out or some kind of event then stop for awhile and play something else and come back when the new stuff is out again.

I've just finished HZD and was thinking of what to get next. I've already finished:

Skyrim (on PS3) so not sure about the PS4 'polished' version
ESO
TLOU remastered
Until Dawn

I've tried the Souls games and they're just not for me. I loved No Mans Sky at the start, but, must admit I got a bit tired of it after a few days.

I was thinking of getting The Witcher GOTY Edition as it's only 20 quid on the PS Store Easter Sale, but, a lot of people whinge about the fighting mechanics. Are they really that bad? Is the story really engaging?

@stupidget The Witcher may not be perfect, but even if you're mildly interested in the game, I suggest getting it. My favourite game of 2015. Just don't expect HZD quality combat. The story and lore on the other hand are one of the best.

@stupidget
I've found a lot of the people who moan about Witcher 3 combat (I'm one of 'em, but it is my only criticism, and even then, i wouldn't say it's BAD), moan because they prefer Dark Souls combat. If you don't like Souls, you may well like Witcher.
Anyways, it really is an exceptional game, and the GOTY for £20 is crazy value.

Any recommendations for traditional JRPGs other than Persona 5 (which I already have and is awesome)? Cosmic Star Heroine looks pretty good, but I don't know much about what else is out there.

@Kogorn733 I'd recommend FF: Type-0 for PS4 actually.

This might be of interest to you as well:

@Kogorn733 there is also the Tales of series. I believe the PS4 has two games so far.

@Kogorn733 Valkyria Chronicles. A splendid game.

Everyone has to play Yakuza Zero! Outstanding game on every level, if the daily mail ever find out this game existed it would make for some hilarious articles.

It's basically an open world game without the rubbish climbing and driving for miles. Every mini game is great and the fighting is brutal at times.

It's most importantly the funniest game I have ever played. It's overtly sexest, but then again it pokes fun at everyone and everything. Including the horned up old bloke who just wears white y fronts and wants sex with everything. Buy it!

@themcnoisy I really need to get back to Yakuza 0. I got distracted by other games and I haven't played it in months. I'll never forgive myself if I don't finish it!

@Quintumply it's a strange game, I don't have an urge to play and finish it like say The Last of us, Persona 4 or Final Fantasy. Ive found myself sticking it on and I can't turn it off, but nearly all of that time is frivolity. Darts, Outrun, ufo catching, beating up random thugs etc.

@themcnoisy It's on my list after I finish Persona 5 (god knows how long that will take to beat...) I bought a brand new copy for $40, and now it's just sitting on my shelf looking pretty. I'm determined to beat it before Yakuza Kiwami releases, at least!

Any recommendations for internal 2TB (or bigger) hdd for the PS4?

Persona 5. 10/10. Game of a generation. Play it.
