Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@nessisonett @KidBoruto I thought the first Assassin's Creed game was a dull experience even at the time and would probably need more than a remaster to fix those problems. The second game was a massive improvement all round.

Good luck collecting all those damn feathers!

@KidBoruto @nessisonett They remastered it for the Xbox One X. It looks great for a game as old as it is, but sadly they never brought it over to the PS4 Pro since you can't play it on there.

I agree that it hasn't aged well at all. I was really looking forward to finally playing it a few years ago since I'm very late to becoming a fan (I've played the last 4 AC games starting with Syndicate), but couldn't get through it. Clunky controls and you get noticed way too often.

@bluedex I just finished RE 7 like 3 night ago , i did enjoy the game more as it got closer to the end tbh, but over all it was a good game , hope you enjoy it too.

@Th3solution I was hoping to hear that the combat becomes a little more interesting. I could see how Transistor would grate overtime. It’s not bothering me yet but we’ll see how it goes!

So Transistor is really growing on me. Especially now that I realized all of the functions can be swapped around in both active slots and upgrade slots 😂 I’m slow sometimes

i've been jumping in and out of Borderlands 3 for a while now, stuck on some boss in Remnant: from the ashes (as i play solo and the dude duplicates himself like a dozen times), been meaning to play the 2 epilogue chapters in RDR2 but haven't got to that yet, thinking about starting The Witcher 3 : Blood and Wine DLC since i finished Hearts of Stone like a month ago and i'm already missing the witcher, AC Valhalla, and also some DBD and Apex.

@Jimmer-jammer Transistor is really good, the combat is so much fun. I can't really remember the intricacies of it since I played it.. 8 years ago (damn). I platinumed it, which I always point out whenever I can because I have only ever platinumed about 3 games, but it does show how much I enjoyed it. Trouble is, I have never felt the need to go back as there is nothing at all left to do. Maybe one day!

I am not big at all on Bastion and Hades, in fact I don't really like either of them. Not tried Pyre.

@kyleforrester87 Interesting perspective, since I was lukewarm on Transistor, maybe I’ll like Hades. I’ve wondered how much carryover there is with the Supergiant games. It seems like most people who like one, like them all. And I’ve only ever tried Transistor.

@Jimmer-jammer glad that Transistor has started to click with you dude… phew 😅

@kyleforrester87 @colonelkilgore I haven’t tried Bastion or Pyre yet but I’ve enjoyed Hades. I can see the Supergiant DNA between the two. I might give Bastion a go at some point. I’ve found Transistor to have a slow start but it’s really pulling me in now!

I do agree, AC1 would need a full from the ground-up remake at this point.

Thankfully I have been purposely avoiding the feathers during the story, will just follow a YouTube video to collect them all after beating the story.

That's not a remaster, they just patched up the original Xbox 360 version to be playable on XB1 and Series X/S.

It's not playable on PS4 because PS4 consoles aren't backwards compatible with PS3 games.

I do agree the game hasn't aged very well at all though, it would benefit alot from a legit next-gen remake.

@KidBoruto At the very least it might as well be called a remaster since it looks vastly superior on the Xbox One X then it did back on the Xbox 360, and it's not simply just the fact that the console was much more powerful.

I'm aware of that, which is why I said it wasn't on the PS4 Pro since you can't play it on the PS4.

@Jimmer-jammer I played Bastion last year… and while I ended up quite enjoying it, it was nowhere near as good as Transistor (at least for me). Just a heads up that it only really gets interesting during the endgame of playthrough 2… and only then if you’re chasing the platinum. Apart from that it’s pretty mundane.

I’m currently working through my backlog, one game at a time! I’m playing South Park: The Fractured But Whole at the moment.

@Jimmer-jammer Yeah I thought Transistor was awesome too, with all the elements coming together really well which felt like a rather unique experience at the time.

I seem to remember the combat not clicking with me initially either until I got my head round it.

I only played Bastion for a bit, but didn't really gel with me. Yet to play Hades, but will eventually.

@colonelkilgore I’ll keep that in mind, thanks! Bastion looks interesting from the surface but I doubt I’ll be platinum hunting on it so I may be better off skipping it.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah, it’s taken a bit to click for me. I initially thought that the first four functions you get are your ‘main’ ones and everything after was just an upgrade. It wasn’t until I overloaded and lost a function that I realized you can swap them all around! Hades is quite enjoyable, especially from a writing perspective. It’s really quite well written and uses it’s roguelike structure to its full benefit.

@Bentleyma I really enjoyed the second South Park game as I thought the combat mechanics were so much better than the first game and preferred the Superhero characters to the Fantasy ones. The only thing was that most of the references in the second game were to series after I'd stopped watching whereas I knew most of them from Stick of Truth.

@Thrillho I’m the opposite, I prefer the combat and fantasy setting from The Stick of Truth. I am enjoying The Fractured But Whole a lot though. I’ve also not watched the later seasons of the TV show, so I’m sure a lot of the references will go over my head.

I'm still replaying Assassin's Creed II very slowly, not getting very far because I'm also binge watching the original Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers cartoon.

@Thrillho @Bentleyma I've seen every single South Park episode, special, and movie! Big fan.

Just need to replay Stick of Truth on PS4, and then I can jump straight into Fractured But Whole.

@RogerRoger Oh man, the sequel is much better, imho. I liked the first one too, but the number of new characters and the expanded, more polished presentation really put Injustice 2 over the top for me. The story in these is a bit weird and feels thrown together, but it’s serviceable. I hope you enjoy them!

It does bring up a point I was actually thinking about the other day — I wonder if the Vita could have been saved if they did the cross-buy more consistently. It was only a few select games that gave you both the Vita version and the PS3 version for one price, many of the big titles you had to choose which one to buy. The current trend of PS4/PS5 versions being all under one purchase has become so ingrained in my head that I look back now and see all these games that I only have either the Vita version or only the PS3/PS4 version and I think it’s annoying.
