Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

Try Dark Souls and see if he's really into gaming. No-death run or get out. That's how we play.

@Kidfried If you guys like FPS/Loot type games I suggest Borderlands 2 on The Handsome Collection, it has split screen.

Diablo III is good if you like Dungeon Crawlins

Then of course you have games like Madden, FIFA, and MLB the Show if you like sport games.

Tekken 7 is great if you like fighters and it's easy to pick up and play.

If you want cheap look into indie games like Guns, Gore and Cannoli or Nidhogg.

What type of games are you both into, that will help a bit on giving suggestions.

I've got a question. Since playing the Knack II demo the other day, my kids are pestering me to get the first one. Do I hang on and see if it makes that mythical PS Plus appearance or shall I just go for it? What do we think its chances are of appearing on there, really?

@Gremio108 Chances are, Knack will come to PS+ IGC but there is also the chance that it won't. If you are 'that' concerned, you could probably pick it up cheaply on disc - maybe even a second hand version if you buy those. Then, if it does get offered, you can sell/trade your disc copy although, if you do, you will not be able to play Knack IF you let your Subscription lapse. I know for many, me included, there is little chance of letting my PS+ subscription lapse BUT circumstances could change.

The fact that Sony now appear to be offering a 'decent' AAA game, along with an Indie and maybe a 'bonus' game or two since the Price Hike, I would say that there is now a greater chance of seeing Knack at some point. If you 'luck' is anything like mine, then if you do buy it, the very next month will have it for free. I bought Sunset Overdrive and less than a week later, MS announced it for GwG - its not the first time that has happened either.

Personally, I would say just buy it. At least then you and your kids can play it for definite rather than keep waiting and hoping and waiting... I don't believe its expensive

@KratosMD Thanks yeah I'm leaning towards picking it up. Went in CEX this morning but they were asking for £10, thought that was a touch steep. I'm sure I can get it cheaper. I've a feeling it will be a christmas PS Plus game, it has that toybox vibe going on.
I'll be on hand to help them if they need it. They'll play it on co-op and shout for me when necessary, probably when I'm in the other room in the middle of an important phone call, or on the toilet or something.

@BAMozzy That is a good point, if it appears on Plus I can at least recoup some of the cost. And if I can bring about the appearance of Knack on PS Plus using the "Just-Bought-It Curse" then I'll have done my bit!

@Gremio108 Also worth keeping an eye out for a PSN sale. Knack is basically on sale every other month. Think last month it was available for £3.99.

@Gremio108 LOL - if that works, quite a few people will be happy as they often say they want Knack in the comments when PushSquare asks what games people are hoping for every month...

I work at a hotel cleaning rooms (yeah it kind of sucks) and today while in a guest's room I noticed they had a PS4 hooked up. Had a sweet Darth Vader decal on it and a cool controller I've never seen. They had a backpack full of games so I decided to be nosey. 😂 They had Destiny, The Surge, Mortal Kombat, BF1, NBA 2K17 and a few others. I'm guessing they mainly play online with the type of games they had. I really wanted to leave a note recommending games like HZD, NieR Automata, and Persona 5 haha 😜

@Kidfried So just out of curiosity what games did you and your brother go with?

So I have been playing MLB the Show 17 the past few days and I have to say I am really enjoying this game alot, and I am not a hardcore baseball or sports fan in general. I haven't really played this series till now because I was afraid it wouldnt be causal friendly but boy I was wrong. There are a ton of options that by adjusting you can make the game as causal as you want or as hardcore as you want.

I highly recommend this game even if you are not a hardcore sports fan.

Yeah, The Show is fantastic for hardcore baseball fans and casual gamers. It's literally the main reason I bought a PS4 Pro after trading in my original PS4 earlier this year. I missed The Show big time! Super Mega Baseball 2 may be one for you to keep an eye on too. The first one was really fun, and SMB 2 releases in early 2018 with a lot more than the first one had.

Has anyone bought Everybody's Golf? I've heard great things, but I'm worried there just aren't enough courses to keep it fresh long term. Any thoughts?

@CThrash13
I bought everybodys golf and I think it's really good. There are many courses but it takes quite some time to unlock them. Like some review I read said, the game wants to be for everybody but you have to invest a lot of time to really get into it and enjoy it. But I highly recommend it, it's fun to play local multiplayer and online also!

@KratosMD Play the Demo and see, think it's still up?

@KratosMD It's not in demo section but if you search for the game you can hit try free demo

Okay, so I have a 'buy 2, get one free' coupon that I can use, so here are a list of some games I've been considering. But I need to pick just 3. Which 3?
Witcher 3, Gravity Rush 2, ME: Andromeda, The Last Guardian, Yakuza 0, Doom, Watch Dogs 2, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

@Flaming_Kaiser 👆🏼

Playing Nova-111 on the Vita. Was given for free many months ago for PS4 and Vita. Relaxing game.

Thinking of picking up a sale game. Was leaning towards Prey or Xcom 2(hoping the loading times are fixed.). Maybe even Grand Kingdom or Technomancer (being only $10) Any recommendations?

I'm thinking about getting either The evil within or Resident evil revelations 2 from the halloween sale. Any suggestions?
