Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@RogerRoger Yeah, I'm in no rush to be honest. I picked up the first one for another Playstation round his grandparents house for £3.99 with free season pass, and the other day I also picked up Battlefield 1 for the same for myself, as well as Battlefield 4 and Hardline in the past for similar sums. These games always seem to hit rock bottom soon enough and seeing as I'm not actually an online gamer I'm more than happy to wait. Funnily enough, my favourite bit about Battlefield 1 is actually using spectator mode in multiplayer maps and just moving around the field taking cool photos and screenshots. I don't even play the game!!

@tomassi @beemo Yeah same here with PES, it's my go to game when i fancy a break from my main game or something a bit different to shooting people in the face.

@KratosMD Totally adored Rime. It's another one of my indie recommendations.

Reminded me a bit of Zelda BOTW with the art style. And the whole game felt like an extended version of the shrines.

Don't wanna say too much story wise as this is best experienced for yourself and I have a feeling this might especially pull the right stings for you.

@RogerRoger Eh, joining a multiplayer game and not participating to take screenshots? That is almost criminal in some circles, and you are taking up somebody's spot in the game that genuinely wants to play the game.

If I had ever found out this was the reason I couldn't get into a match, I would be fuming.

Resi 6. I’m playing the campaign with a friend ( I’ve played through Resi 5 with him). So far I like it. I think the controls and dodging is interesting. I’m not decided if I think it’s good, but I like their vision and think I’m gonna like the overall game. I also like the mercenaries mode here. I don’t know why there isn’t a simple survival mode though. It would be a fun game for one.
Overall, my early impressions are that the game gets too much hate.

@Kidfried What I don’t understand though, is that it’s more of a horror game than Resi 5. That wasn’t a horror game, but an action game. Horror + punching boulders don’t go very well together. Resi 6 just update the controls from tank controls, a needed changing especially with it’s direction. People act like it made it into an action series when it took it back to horror a bit in reality. 5 did the action thing. I also have only played 5 before this, so that probably helps it feeling like a Resi game to me.
And I’d imagine the PS4 version comes with the updates, so yeah, I am.
And the PS4 reviews crucify the thing.

@RogerRoger Oh, Nice! I didn't realise SWBF2 had spectator mode as well. I don't think the first one did, from memory? There are slightly more rudimentary versions in Battlefield 4 and Hardline, but the one in Battlefield 1 is amazing. I'm rubbish at online multiplayer shooters to be honest, so I much prefer just messing around with that. Will definitely add SWBF2 to the list when it's cheap as Star Wars is ripe for getting good screenshots!

So, now that I've polished off the Kingdom Hearts PS4 collection, I went back to MGSV. I've completed a couple missions since, and I'm kinda enjoying it. It's one of those games that needs to grow on me, I guess.

@RogerRoger Haha, you really got my hopes up then! Either way though, how do you manage to take screenshots without your gun sticking out in front of you? In the original Battlefront I got rid of the HUD but couldn't find a way of capturing anything without my gun in the frame?

@RogerRoger I just finished Chapter 16. I'm not that far in, even though I've been playing it on-off for a year now.

@RogerRoger Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try and see what I can come up with. You think they'd make it a bit easier than that though eh, especially as you can do it in the Battlefield.

Started the first Spyro tonight from the Reignited Trilogy. I managed to 100% Artisans as well as Town Square and another level. So far I am enjoying it and can't wait to play more.

I managed to take a break from Red Dead for an hour or so to try Burly Men At Sea. Great little game, this. I'm looking forward to playing through again to see how it pans out next time, but I'm going to space out my playthroughs so it doesn't get repetitive.

Funny writing, charming graphics and the music is superb.

I'm currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 like I'm sure most of the PlayStation community is. Its an awesome game!! I decided to replay the latest God of War, and Evil Within 2. For my fps gamers, I love Rainbow Six Siege. I've been playing that for years. I also play Call of Duty Black Ops 4 now. Still trying to figure out how I feel about that game.

Played another mission in Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition. Really not enjoying this game, but at least I'm not too far from the end now.

@beemo I know how you feel, if I hadn't have played and loved the original I would have given up on this long ago. So my only motivation at this point is seeing how this story ends and the chance to explore some of those original areas.

It just seems that Rockstar has put gameplay at the very bottom of its list of priorities and many times I've just been flat out bored whilst playing it, as I have another 5 minute horse ride for a quick shootout before another ride back. I'm giving it break for now and have had a lot more fun playing Castlevania Symphony of the Night

@beemo You could always trade it in if you are not enjoying it? You would probably only lose about a tenner on it and you could use it to get a couple of slightly older games.

@beemo It is a shame that you're finding the actual gameplay a chore. I don't think any game is worth slogging through if you're not enjoying it. One thing I will say, though, is that Arthur Morgan is definitely not a blank slate. As much as i love John Marston, I think Arthur is such a better character.

The Witcher 3. For the 3rd time. This time it’s the base edition so I can get another platinum. I’m quite obsessive and can only play one game at a time. Bought RDR2 but it’ll have to wait.

@AhmadSumadi Wow, that says quite a bit about how much you like The Witcher 3 that you would rather play it for a third time than to play something new. I still need to play it. But I am in the middle of Red Dead 2.
