Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

I finally started playing Batman: Arkham Knight, just finished the Ace Chemicals mission.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the earlier games if you do decide to play them.

I honestly had no idea they shared the same voice actor, that's cool!

@Kidfried Then I wish you luck. May your Sim family fare better than mine did in their horrific first 24 hours (although I did skip all the tutorials, maybe that was a bad idea)

Arkham Knight is great story/plot wise so far, but I'm still having trouble adjusting to the HUD and gameplay/controls.

That and I didn't have time to play this weekend sadly...next weekend for sure though .

@RogerRoger I finally got back into Arkham Knight, the controls are becoming natural now thankfully .

Still trying to save Oracle from Arkham Knight, keep getting distracted by side quests and DLC missions.

@ToddlerNaruto What do make of the Batmobile sections? Are they as awful as I hear? I really enjoyed Asylum and City but have been put off by those sections. I've always meant to pick this up as it is always on sale on psn and dirt cheap in CEX. Mind you this has ps+ written all over it.

@JohnnyShoulder If it means anything to you, I heard the same things about the batmobile but in the end I enjoyed it and I don't get the hate for it. For me, Arkham Knight is the best game in the series, or at least the one which was the most enjoyable for me. I immensely enjoyed Arkham Asylum, didn't like Arkham City and gave up on Arkham Origins.

@NecuVise Cheers! If I had a beard there would be a lot of stroking going on. 🤔

@JohnnyShoulder I'll do it for you with mine

@JohnnyShoulder I honestly don't mind the Arkham Knight Batmobile, appreciate that it speeds up traversing, it's the closest you'll get to Fast Travel in this game.

I thought it was a needed mix up after 3 Arkham games to have the Bat Mobile. I quite enjoyed it in the game and don’t get the hate.

Oh man, you guys haven't lived if you haven't played "Grannies World Tour, 8-bit Edition." It's a music level that you have to play purely by muscle memory because the game make it as hard as possible to see what you're actually doing.

@RogerRoger I mean, if you've played Origins, you're not really experiencing anything new. It sounds like you've seen the vast majority of content in the game.

I was going for the platinum trophy until I realized I would have to get gold medals in online challenges every day for months to achieve Awesomeness level 11. I was pretty well and done then.

@RogerRoger @Ralizah I had the most trouble with the remixed orchestral one, the level with all the plants. I can't remember why it caused me so much grief but I lost count of how many goes it took.
My kids still play Legends on the PS3 and they're excited to play it again on PS4, so it looks like I'll be playing it through again with them... Better get sharpening my reflexes I suppose

@RogerRoger Yeah, horrific stuff! I remember there was a certain bit where every time I reached it, I made the same exact mistake, every time. Can't wait to play that one again........

Rayman Legends is one of the few games where I've come close to getting the platinum and given up. Normally if I find I've finished on 90-something per cent, I'll push on through, but after a few days of doing those challenges, it slowly dawned on me how long it would take and I packed it in. I think only Assassin's Creed II has a similar percentage on my list, because I gave up on finding the feathers.

I'm starting to get excited about playing Rayman Legends again though. Wasn't there a Mexican 'Eye Of The Tiger' in one level? Fantastic stuff.

@RogerRoger The box levels are fun. They're basically speed-running challenges.

But yeah, Origins is a much more focused experience than Legends. The progression of levels also has a logic to it, unlike Legends, which feels like a level pack.

I don't have any issues getting Gold medals (although diamond ones are borderline impossible for me), but the prospect of playing the same challenges every day for months on end doesn't make me leap for joy. At that point, the game is just asking me to grind for no good reason.

@RogerRoger It's actually not too hard to get those trophies if you collect all of the creatures, 100% all of the single-player content and play the online challenges for a week or two.

Every day for 3 months, though? That Awesomeness Lvl 11 trophy is an INSANE grind.

I might get back to it sometime. I really want that platinum trophy. I've already invested so much time in this game.

@RogerRoger I wish! Unfortunately, the Vita version has its own trophy list. It's also actually harder, because, in addition to all of the PS4 trophies, it has one requiring you to get a diamond medal in one of the online challenges.

Also can't get remote play to work well in my home, so that's not an option, either.

It's a pity, as those online challenges would be PERFECT to clear through on the Vita while watching TV or something. But if I play it on the Vita, I gotta start allllllllllllll over again.

I decided to play a little game from my backlog today call Inside. You may have heard of it.
About an hour into it and It is brilliant so far. I liked Limbo, but I think this one is even better.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, i want to finish it before i restart the series with the PS4 HD remasters of KH1

just the last boss to go

@KratosMD I put 25 - 30 hours into the game last year. It's interesting. Several moments of tedium, but the ingenuity of certain puzzle types made up for it. Learning the logic language of a series of puzzles is sort of like learning a language organically.
