Topic: TOP 5 PS4 games

@Th3solution hahahha well here's how I see it: if I enjoy the game and got no major complaints about it > perfect 10/10. Also I should tell you that Ive started gaming with the PS4 (only a few Ps2, ps3, pc games). So my experience is based on current gen games, most of them offer me something new to make me say: WOW I can do that in games!!

@Jorjk Ok, that’s cool. You have an interesting perspective then. Most of us avid gamers have been doing this for as long as we could hold a controller. Not having hundreds of games from prior generations to compare to would certainly change the way you feel about current games. Perhaps then you didn’t play Batman Arkham Asylum or Arkham City? I loved Arkham City so much that I just couldn’t get into Arkham Knight. I might have been burned out on the formula at the time. I need to retry it.

@Th3solution exactly havent played them. I remember reading the reviews, and they all mentioned that Arkham Knight didnt deliver as well as previous entries. But for me, I found nothing wrong with Arkham Knight, it even got me into watching the batman movies (which I hated before!).
Same goes for many games I got on PS4.

@DistortedAndroid Yeah, that's why I was wondering, because the two games are so different. I love Dirt 4, but it doesn't have that feeling of living on the edge that Dirt Rally has. It always felt like you were one slip from absolute disaster in that game! Dirt 4 doesn't quite have that danger element.
Dirt 4 did feel like a step back in terms of challenge and simulation, but it's good fun. I think if you're into rally games then your best bet is to own both, then you've got the best of both worlds. Although there are so many customisation options in 4 that you can change it so it's like Dirt Rally, but I found it hard to get the balance right when I tinkered too much.

The ever evolving list

1. The Witcher 3, with both DLC
2. Horizon Zero Dawn, with DLC
3. Bloodborne, with DLC
4. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
5. Rise of the Tomb Raider

Online Only:
1. Star Wars Battlefront 2 (it's not without its flaws, but I do enjoy it)
2. Warframe (best free online shooter game out there)
3. Fortnite

I mention the DLCs, because I feel they made the game even better with amazing new content that was better or a major improvement from the original release.

Of course, TLOU remastered is in my personal top 5.
Nier: Automata is on my list when it goes on sale as is AC:Origins.

My current list would be:
1. Uncharted 4
2. Witcher 3
3. Horizon Zero Dawn
4. AC Origins
5. Bloodborne
This will most likely change this year with RDR2, Spidey and GoW coming.
I didn't include remasters.

Ok now 3 and a bit months on;

OLD TOP 5
1) Yakuza Zero
2) Statik
3) Odin Sphere
4) What Remains of Edith Finch
5) GT Sport

NEW TOP 5
1) Yakuza Zero / Kiwami
2) Statik
3) Pro Evolution Soccer 2018
4) Badland (playing on the Vita absolutely brilliant on the go)
5) Odin Sphere

So yeah Im using this thread a lil differently now. If I was to put my favourite ps4 games, Rocket League, MGS 5, Rogue Legacy, TLOU remastered, HZD etc etc would all be rated above Badland. However Im gonna be posting every few months with the games Im currently enjoying or have enjoyed over a shorter timeframe than 4 years. Hope that makes sense.

@themcnoisy Can we vote on what is the best game lol

1. Persona 5
2. Bloodborne
3. Assassin’s Creed: Unity
4. inFamous: Second Son
5. Final Fantasy XV

This would be current top 5 I think. FFXV and Persona 5 are both here largely due to story, and I’m starting to realize more and more that gameplay isn’t necessarily the most important part of a game.

@Jaz007 eeehh.. a story has got to be pretty bloody good to rise above gameplay in my book.

@Kidfried I like that list! The only game I'm missing is Shadow of the Colossus!

@Kidfried And God of War

@kyleforrester87 And i can't remember the last time i thought cor this game has a really good story. Maybe the first Wolfenstien? But that wouldn't be on my top 5.

@JohnnyShoulder I haven't been blown away by a story since the PS1 days with FF7, MGS, FF9 and the like. Of course I was much more impressionable back then.

Of course there have been some awesome stories in games since, but I can't say I've played many games with awful gameplay just to enjoy the story recently..

@JohnnyShoulder @kyleforrester87 have you played What remains of Edith Finch? Over rated last year imo but the story is absolutely awesome!

@themcnoisy No, I am kind of interested as I heard great things but I got very very little from other "walking sims" (hate that name) like Rapture/Dear Esther and Gone Home.

@kyleforrester87 give it a miss then. It is the best walking sim I have played, although thats not saying much.

@themcnoisy I'll hopefully give it a go one day! Don't fancy paying for it though

I like my walking sims set on abandoned space stations or haunted houses with aliens, zombies, famethrowers and shotguns thrown in.

Yeah, as far as the walking sims go, What Remains of Edith Finch is one of the better ones. The only one I really liked was Firewatch.

Hmm the game i can think of is Life is Strange that had a really strong story this gen. Maybe Firewatch but i never finished it.
