Thinking about what I'm going to get during the summer sale. I have two paydays during it's run, and if I budget roughly $20 per paycheck for the sale, I'll be able to get 4 games out of it (if I pick choices at or around the $10 mark)
The Last Guardian is a sure pick, but for the other three I'm going to have to pick between one of the LEGO games (I'm thinking Jurassic World or Batman 3), Star Wars Battlefront II (no interest in the multiplayer, but the single player could be worth it at this price, plus it'd give me access to the VR bonus mission which looks cool), Unravel 2 (really enjoyed the first one, but not sure how well this one plays as a single player experience), and the Witcher 3 (I think I'm caught up in all the hype surrounding the series thanks to the upcoming Switch port & Netflix series, but I'm not sure if I'm really interested or if it's just FOMO. Still, the big western AAA titles I've played thus far have really suprised me with how much I've liked them, as someone who traditionally prefers Japanese games, so maybe I should give it a chance).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Has anyone played the Banner Saga games before? The trilogy is only £16 in the summer sale and it’s a game I’m aware of with good impressions but don’t know much about it.
The recent talk about horror games convinced me to try Until Dawn, especially because an italian retailer is selling now most of the Playstation Hits titles for € 9,00!
So I've been watching A LOT of Critical Role rather then gaming cus of the heat here in the UK (and I'm free from work now, on my summer holidays!).
Aside from grabbing the D&D books & pen and paper or that MMORPG Neverwinter (That I'm not really interested in because of it's MMO nature) are there any other D&D or D&D inspired games I could try?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy A package containing remastered versions of Planescape: Torment & Icewind Dale will be releasing in the next few months for home consoles, I believe. I've always heard people talk about the quality of the writing in those games (especially Planescape).
Currently Playing: Fields of Mistria (PC); Cookie Clicker (PC); Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC); Overboard! (PC)
I'm panning on picking up the Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, NWN, Planescape games as they release. I doubt I'll clear any of them to be honest (it depends how well they've done porting to a controller) but I've dipped my toe some of them in the past and I do enjoy them.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I’ve been playing Borderlands 2 DLC Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep and it’s D&D inspired... in a complete parody sort of way. 😜
I’m kidding of course. I know that’s not what you’re looking for.
I’ve been curious to play the DOS games and they are very highly rated, especially this second one. Unfortunately I don’t have a spare 200 hours at this point in my life. 😄

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy@Th3solution I loved OS1, OS2 is no where near as good in my opinion, I can only get through the first act before I lose interest. I did try twice!
The only thing you might not like is the frequent comical tone it employs, if you prefer your RPGS to be all dark and miserable.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy There is Pillars of Eternity and Pillars of Eternity II the second one even has a Critical Role DLC where you can play as the characters from Criticla Role season 1 (Percy, Grog, the twins etc.).
It's also nice to meet another Critter

@Tasuki@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy POE is pretty good but DOS1 is much better. I do like the high-res pre-rendered backgrounds in POE, and the darker tone will probably make it a better game than DOS for some.
A big but though is the awful loading times. After 20 hours or so the loading screens can take 1-2 minutes, and consider you might be in a city going into a shop (1 loading screen), going up the stair case (another loading screen), back into the shop (another loading screen) back to the city (another loading screen). Yup, 5 or more minutes of loading screens versus 15 seconds of game play. I was having fun but I had to throw in the towel. It's awful!
As for POE2, it's not out until the end of the year or beyond, I will get it only if the loading issues are resolved. I believe it was down to the original being made on Unity. I'm not sure about this one.
I remember them saying the Crit Role Season 1 DLC @Tasuki as the game was sponsored on one of the episodes... Thanks for reminding me of the name though!
Theoretically, what games would you reccomend ypur friend to play if he gets a choice of RDR2-Far Cry 5-AC Odyssey and why. Also some games he should play if he just got a Ps4.
@ZeroOverOne If he’s new to PS4, then he really needs to also get Horizon Zero Dawn if he likes the open world story-driven genre with combat and exploration. Another with a similar gameplay style would be Spider-Man. He’d probably like that too if he has any affinity to Marvel superhero stuff.
I haven’t played AC Odyssey yet, or FC5, but KratosMD is right about RDR2. Although he would probably really like it, especially if he liked the first game, but it’s more of a slow burn and the first several hours are off-putting to the uncommitted.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@ZeroOverOne God of War, the best game on the system and probably the generation for me. And you don't even need to have played or liked the previous games, I didn't and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I've only played FC5 out of the games listed so can only reccomended that. Best Far Cry so far for me. In the dozens of hours I played there was hardly a dull moment.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I'm on my summer holiday so I've just got Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition and Dishonored 2. What are you guys playing while you're off school/work/university?
