Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

The whole season pass for FC5 was a joke IMO. I enjoyed the base game but I really regret buying the season pass.

Yakuza 6 at the moment. I’ll jump on Kiwami 2 at some point.

Good Lord, there is so much stuttering in Kingdom Hearts II for PS4. I don't know how they thought it was acceptable to release this. It's a shame because the game is otherwise very good.

I seem to have been sucked in by Sky Force Anniversary again. Does anyone else find this game really really addictive?

Replaying Ratchet and Clank. LOL

I guess I'm going to get all the trophies. I'll probably end up going through the game three times.

Playing hard mode on New Game+ now to level up my weapons.

Every so often (and too often to be honest), the game will stutter, or like pause for a few seconds and then catch up. It happens when opening chests, and happens several times per cutscene. It's absolutely ridiculous. As far as I know the original was stable. I don't remember any stutters in cutscenes

@Kidfried Yeah, it'd be a shame if they didn't remake the other PS2 Ratchet and Clank games. Although I guess they're still kind of busy on Spider-Man.

Does the quality of craftsmanship hold up from game to game with Insomniac? Because, if so, I'm absolutely bumping Spider-Man up a few places on my "to buy" list on PS4 (which is becoming increasingly long, seeing as how Sony keeps releasing good exclusives, and I generally tend to actively support only one system at a time).

@Ralizah I take it that Insomniac is one of the most consistent developers out there. They laid a few eggs over the years with Fuse and Song of the Deep, although I didn’t play either, neither lit up the charts or gained critical acclaim. But balanced with the Spyro series, Ratchet & Clank series, and Resistance series and you have probably one of the most consistent level of quality out there. Especially considering the large volume of games that includes (Probably close to 20)

@Th3solution I forgot they did Spyro. The first Spyro was one of my favorite games on the PS1, and, while it might have iterated on what Mario 64 already pioneered, it blows that game out of the water in certain ways.

Resistance... those games are shooters, right? Are they military themed? Dark and gritty?

@KratosMD @Ralizah I played some of Resistance 1 and also the PSP game Resistance Retribution. I found the world to be very interesting. Yes, it is a more dark and gritty setting, an alternate history where instead of WWII, the world is at war with invading aliens in the 1940s and 50s. It was kind of difficult, and I’m not a FPS fan anyways, but I know many people really enjoyed the series. It is an FPS with significant focus on narrative and solo campaign. I don’t know too much beyond that.

@Kidfried I've added it to my library. Can remember playing this a couple of times way back on a couple of different systems, most likely megadrive and pc. Loved it then, think I was scared to play it in case my memory of it gets sullied.

Started playing Destiny 2 over the weekend. Had fun with it, the gunplay and controls feels so darn good. It looks outstanding too and the sound design is top as well. The story is only ok, but I do wanna see what happens next.

I'm just conscious that I had similar feelings with the first game. Ending getting quite bored of the repetition involved in the story missions barring the odd level or set piece. I did dabble in some of the end game stuff but because it is heavily geared towards doing all the co-op stuff, I never felt that i was making much progress.

So it will be interesting to see if I get the same vibe from D2. It certainly has scratched a Sci-fi itch I had.

@Kidfried IIRC from the first game, I played through the story solo. Can't quite remember if there were certain sections when it forced you to match with other players, or they were separate Raid and Strike missions.

You see other players around you either doing their own thing or joining in with you, which I quite like. I've had no one be a nuisance yet and I don't recall any getting any aggro when I played the first game.

Starting with Nascar Heat 3 today. Yet another lengthy racing game to do alongside my Career playthroughs of MotoGP 18, Ride 2, and V-Rally 4 … and then there's Dakar 18 in a month or so. It's only manageable if I stay away from other lengthy games, so no Assassin's Creed or Spider-Man for me. It's just racing games and Indie games from now on, which tend to be short. I'm playing through Unravel 2 on the side.

@KratosMD I'm somewhat at the opposite end of that, when it comes the combat. God of War 2018 has a much more engaging storyline, characters, settings etc., … but I don't like the combat at all, for me the combat was more fun in the older games. That's the only issue I have with the new game, everything else is better. However, the combat is such a big part of the game, so if I don't enjoy the combat I struggle to enjoy the rest of game, to motivate myself into finishing it.

Playing the old Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and I really like it. The small open world they created feels real, with none of those useless pieces of gameplay one can find in huge open worlds.

Well I recently brought 2 new games from the Bandai Nanco sale on PSN (Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Sword Art Online Re Hollow Fragment) and I’m playing them both and also The Elder Scrolls Online and Destiny 2.

@RogerRoger I gave TR a chance since it was dirty cheap and I'm glad I did (way better than Uncharted games, imo). Now Rise is on the radar and I'm gonna buy as soon as I find a cheap retail copy.

I'm finally playing Yakuza 0 which is the first Yakuza game I've played.

The first hour or two were a drag as you walk set routes from one bit of exposition to another. It's been better since then but not grabbed me yet..

I strongly disagree.

@AdamantiumClaws I still have to finish Tomb Raider and I've played only the Uncharted trilogy, but so far I'm really enyoing Lara's adventure, while Nathan's ones strangely bored me: too many predictable cliffhangers and the world you move in feels like a TV set, artificial and empty.
