Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Great yeah will do. Had over 200 hours on Witcher, I'm assuming the next 2 games combined won't get anywhere near that!

I’ve finally made a start on Ghost of Tsushima on my PS5.

What a gorgeous game this is! I can still choose between resolution or frame rate via the PS4 Pro settings but it seems it doesn’t make too much difference on PS5.

I was also pleased to see headphones with 3D audio was a setting too and it sounds fantastic on the Pulse headset (for me, even better than Returnal which is supposed to be the gold standard for the 3D audio).

Combat feels great so far and I’ve just got to the open world part.

Oh, and Japanese voice acting with subtitles obviously

@Thrillho Good to see you’re enjoying it. It really is a beautiful game. Probably a nice one to play after Returnal since the options for stealth mix things up and there is a lot of time spent serenely wandering around in a peaceful bright environment.

The game does have its dark moments though, for sure.

As soon as you mentioned Wil Wheaton I knew exactly where that link was going @RogerRoger... That's the channel that Critical Role came from 😁

Geek & Sundry is/was a Twitch & Youtube channel run by actress Felicia Day (... I don't know what she's in though myself aside from a handful of episodes of Supernatural). I think Critical Role was THE breakout show though? They eventually left G&S sometime in 2019 to form their own channel.

The channel had all kinds of shows with a bunch of different people (Though I admitedly never watched any of them aside from CR) and I recall that Wil Wheaton show getting mentioned/advertised a LOT when watching some of the Critical Role episodes. I think the Will Wheaton table top game series on G&S finished too?

He's actually in a couple of episodes of the first Critical Role campaign (The party was split into two for some reason I don't remember and they had some guest players join in... There's probably some episodes of Will's show with people from CR too) and he was really quite good in it from what I remember 😄

... And dammit... Seeing how Patrick Stewart is pretty much up for anything these days (Like his work with Seth Macfarlane) I was wishing him playing Buckaroo would be a thing... Oh well

And to actually bring this back to The PS4 Games you're playing thread (my bad!)... I'm still trucking along with God Eater: Resurrection.

Got up to difficulty six and have just managed to avenge Lindow. Which was a rather lousy and cheap fight I thought...

Because GE 1 was originally released on PSP, had an updated/expanded re-release with an extra storyline and THEN was remade on Vita/PS4 with another new storyline added on of that... I'm apparently nearing the end of the original PSP version's storyline?

I think that's where I'll cut off from GE for the time being.

Just because if I don't now I don't know when I will if I allow it to continue. Plus I fear I'll lose far too many brain cells if I keep watching the storyline cutscenes go on.

... Not even Patrick Stewart could save this

@Th3solution It was more than likely me! Glad you liked it. All your comments are pretty much spot to be honest. I played in VR on PSVR and it was quite breathtaking. However, yeah... the trophies are... well actually really hard. Multiple playthroughs, zero mistakes (i.e. don't fall off things), finding multiple routes through. However, as an experience (alongside a great soundtrack), I think it is really underrated. Probably the impact of being a PS exclusive that wasn't really well marketed etc.

Well I've been in a bit of a gaming funk recently, and not in a boogietastic 70s sort of way. Thankfully I'm being dragged out of it by Detroit: Become Human of all things. I'll post my thoughts when I reach the end but I'm enjoying this game way more than I thought I would. I've put poor Connor through the mill, bless him.

@Rudy_Manchego Ah, whew! I was starting to think I had lost my marbles. I knew someone had recommended it! 😄

I’ll champion the game for those who are on the fence to try it. I think there’s a place for it in the gaming stratosphere. It’s too bad that the trophies aren’t any easier because that sometimes entices the fence sitting crowd to take a chance on a unique game like this.

Ha ha oops I didn't mean to make that sound so negative @RogerRoger! Still enjoying the gameplay, monster hunting aspect, very much. Just like I said the other few posts about the story utter tosh and if anything has got even stupider 😄

I'm actually stopping God Eater: Resurrection now mainly because we're going to be Subnautica next for the game club and I haven't got enough time to focus on more then one game at the moment. Plus where I'm at in GE:R is pretty much the perfect time to stop it too!

I'll most likely be heading back in probably after Subnautica is done and dusted!

And you're welcome in regards to the whole Wil Wheaton, Critical Role stuff... Even when I'm here I can't help but teach it seems

@Th3solution Absolutely - the trophies are bizarre. I feel that they were made difficult to get some replayability out of the game but it really isn't necessary.

I decided to switch from Resident Evil Village to Resident Evil 4 as the latter seems to be a more accessible and better game overall - ammo is in plentiful supply, and I don't remember having to resort to using a guide once in order to complete it when I played it about six-eight years ago. I was ust looking for an easy to play game and this seemed to fit the bill as it appears to be high quality as well, despite ageing somewhat over the years obvs, I also intend to pick up Biomutant at a later date @bluedex sorry for picking this up early, but I couldn't think of anything else to get - I'll keep you updated about my progress but make sure to spoiler tag any spoilers I come across.

@TheBrandedSwordsman @bluedex
I also am planning to play RE4 at some point this year. I want to play RE3 first though. I’ve never played either of them and I really enjoyed the first two game’s remakes last year. Good to see RE4 mostly holds up. People have said they don’t really think the game needs a remake, but I guess we’re getting one next year.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Hey no worries, go for it! It might be a while before I get to it anyway. As well as my backlog games I also received Everybody's Golf in the post today, bought the disk version on a whim a couple of nights ago for €10. I played it on PSP many moons ago and remember enjoying it, so thought I'd give it a go as a "side game".

@RogerRoger Aside from a Heavy Rain demo a few years back, it's my first Cage/QD game, although I have been meaning to get around to them for a while. It's hard to say what my standard fare is any more, I've played so many different things this gen. But this is probably another case of PS Plus nudging me towards a game I might have otherwise let slip by.

I actually finished Detroit last night, I'll tag you when I get around to posting some thoughts, but overall I had a lot of fun!

@Gremio108 Yeah, I’d like to hear how you fared as well. I really liked Detroit. It was my GOTY that year, since I didn’t play God of War until this year.
I think we have a Detroit thread around here somewhere and some of us posted our outcomes and there really is quite a variety of ways the game can end up.

@Th3solution I've only played the original RE3 on the PS1, I played the original first 3 and then nothing until now. I remember them all being excellent but RE2 was my favourite.
It's actually very cool being able to play RE1 again on a modem console, a real blast from the past with all the benefits of much more advanced gaming technology.

@bluedex
I played some of RE 1 and 2 original a long time ago but not enough to really remember them, so essentially was experiencing them for the first time on the PS4 Remakes of both entries last year. I absolutely loved both, especially RE2 Remake. I’m looking forward to the RE3 Remake even though it’s much less praised in general. The first two REmakes are definitely worth a go.

@Th3solution Who knows, perhaps we’ll see R3make pop up in time for Halloween Game Club 👀

@bluedex @Th3solution I actually struggled with RE4 in the end, and now, after having some bad luck and falling off a whole bunch of games I have finally settled on Biomutant. Played the first hour or so of the game with some success, lost hardly any health in the process and leveled up, it reminds me of playing other RPGs, and despite falling off of Just Cause 3 a month or so ago, notably by the same studio, this game is much more similar to games like The Witcher 3 and even a diluted Dark Souls, much more like The Witcher 3 in fact, so I am sure, thus far that I can actually play this game as it appears, thus far, to be very much in my wheelhouse, fingers crossed that I don't fall off another one eh? 🤣

@bluedex What is your golf game like? @Th3solution What are you playing at the mo?
