Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@KratosMD I really enjoyed The New Order. Felt it was a little bit too long for it's own good though. I considered another play through for the branch in the story but the last 2 hours or so of the game put me off.

I do have Doom that I haven't touched yet.
Mad Max is pretty engaging so far though.

@KratosMD An fps campaign needs to be relatively short for me. I find I get bored if the story isn't all that tight. TNO was decent, but I really just wanted it to wrap up from about half way.

I'm still to find something in the genre that I enjoyed more than Resistance 3 to be honest.

@KratosMD @KALofKRYPTON Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite are my favorite FPS. Do those count?

Don Bradman Cricket 17. I've never played a cricket game before and only have a rudimentary understanding of the sport. Wikipedia and YouTube has been helpful though. I've been curious about cricket games for quite a while, they look fun and interesting. So, I've been practicing away with my batting and bowling skills, in-between playing Ni no Kuni 2.

I plan on trying out other sports games as well, like Rugby, NBA, and Baseball, which I haven't played before either. Sports games in general don't get much attention in the media. I know they don't have much appeal with your average gaming journalist, but they do have a large fanbase nonetheless.

@KALofKRYPTON I prefer older FPS games overall and recently bought Red Faction I & II for the PS4. I don't play that many FPS games these days, since I don't think they're as good as they used to be, or not as interesting at least. The Resistance series being my all-time favourite FPS franchise.

For me, Prey (2017) is the best FPS since Killzone Shadow Fall, but it's a very lengthy game, so I'm not sure you'd be into it. Plus I'm not sure you can really call Prey a "proper" FPS, it's more of an Adventure-FPS game.

@Th3solution Totally!

@Bonbonetti So so long as you are very aware - that the only really good rugby games are still(!) Jonah Lomu Rugby (PS1) and EA's Rugby '08 (PS2). There is literally no improvement in rugby video games after that.

I don't mind if an adventure game just runs in first person.

@KALofKRYPTON Yeah, I got the that impression about Jonah Lomu Rugby after digging around before. I don't have my PS1 anymore (sadly), but I've already scouted a copy of Rugby 08 on Amazon. Thanks for the recommendations!

@Bonbonetti It's a real shame - the market is there but it is such a difficult game to translate to the medium. I had high hopes for the Big Ben (I think) Rugby Challenge on the Vita - but again, that really wasn't as good as Lomu or '08.

@RogerRoger Can't disagree strongly enough about you Bat & the Cat points - there's always been a tension, even in '66 (Julie Newmar winning as Catwoman by suggesting that she kill Robin so that her and Batman can elope! ).

He was with Talia, even fathered Damo with her! I'm glad they moved him on to Catwoman properly in the comics. He needs a partner who can serve as a foil, his equal in mind and body as well as damaged psyche; some straight-laced socialite wouldn't cut it.

I'm training to be a Culinarian in Final Fantasy XIV while I wait for God of War.

@RogerRoger Yeah, I do get the lack of choice apparent in Telltale stuff.

I am still part way through The Wolfe Among Us - and even with the shwonky performance on the Vita - it's really rather good.

Picked up Mad Max again last night. Worryingly it displayed a 15 minute expiration warning at one point, but nothing happened after the 15 minutes past...

Still having fun with it. Saw a video where a guy was discussing how he saw the chronology of the series - placing the game between the first film and The Road Warrior, the actual events of Fury Road between The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome and the film of Fury Road being the embellished retelling of the events some time well after Thunderdome.

Makes me like it all a lot more so I'm sticking with that.

I did take a couple of nice in game shots, I'll share them on the other thread later.

@RogerRoger
TWAU has the benefit of being based on a great series that most people aren't aware of. I've never read a page of Fables - but the inherited art style and stylised presentation is really well implemented. I should also give a shout out to the music; there isn't much of it - but it's all electro-noir wrapped in bits of Neon. The voice work is brilliant too. I wish I hadn't been too tight to pay for the rest of the episodes to play on my phone as is ran rather well and still looked and sounded great. #vitaproblems

As for your friend and Mad Max - well, there is certainly a lot to do!

I find the scarcity of resources both brilliantly authentic and rather frustrating. I am still pretty early in the though, and already have some side missions that will provide more ongoing resources when complete. I just wish I already had more than 1 shotgun shell at a time!

I ended up in a storm after previously avoiding them and it was rather nicely done. I assumed it'd be instagib - but that really was doing the developers a disservice. The car got pretty beat up by all of the flying debris, so I got out, got smacked about a bit then hid behind the car until Churm fixed it.

It was pretty sweet.

@RogerRoger It was rather spectacular with the surround sound!

It was cheap when I got it for Vita - but I've seen the PS4 disc for £12 on Cex. It's well worth that - and considering that the retail value of the disc seems to be rising considerably due to what I assume was a small run, it's a steal.

@KratosMD The New Order was enough for me, but I did read a fair amount of underwhelmed sentiment about The Old Blood. The New Colossus is meant to be great though.

@RogerRoger Cool, I'll get it when it's a tenner... I may even have played Doom by then!

I decided to play 99 Vidas last night. It's a great homage to the beat em up genre. Controls are pretty good I did notice that sometimes the hit boxes can be a bit wonky. As Platinums go it's a pretty easy Platinum only thing is it can be time consuming as it means having to replay this game several times to unlock characters and abilities. Also one trophy does require you to play and beat the game with 4 players. Lucky it can be online or local.

@RogerRoger I have a lot of time for Claudia Black...

Plus Catwoman is smokin in that game so why wouldn't you.

PES 2018 everyday,smh... When I should really be taking care of my ridiculous backlog.

@KAPADO Lol sounds like me with Skyrim. Then I wonder how my backlog got so big.
