Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

@kyleforrester87

Ah, well at least 1 is good then. From the little I do know about them it seems like they were designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard, how do the games control on a dual-shock?

@colonelkilgore to be honest I played them on Vita and I made a lot of use of the touch screen (a quick tap to lock on an individual enemy after you burst through a door was very useful). I played 1 a lot and got the highest rank on most levels.

I tried to play it on PS4 and struggled a bit not having that precision. I’d say you’d get used to it, though.

Just brought The Last of Us 2 for £20 new at Tesco. Probably the cheapest I have seen it so far. I am unsure if they are starting or ending the deal or if it was an accident as it scanned for £45 at purchase, but the label said £20 so... shrug

Might try it sometime soon. Wasn't the biggest fan of how TLOU1 ended.

Oniguma,

How do you like Fallen order? I didn't like it at first but now its really growing on me, not a smash em up bash em up.

@tangi_atori I've only played the first three hours or so. Got to see the first two locations. It's good. I'm eager to back, which is a good thing. I definitely want to go back and explore it some more. Had an annoying glitch where it didn't allow me to wall run, but after restarting the game, it worked fine.

I randomly decided to buy both Persona 5 Royal and Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition. I also pre-ordered Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. So it's safe to say I'll be busy over the next few weeks... Maybe months!

My latest game that I got was a XMAS gift and that is "Immortals Feynx Rising" I love the humor, scenery and the animation of the game and the fact that- it's based on Greek Mythology, is a huge plus.

@RogerRoger Yeah. As my brother always states, "Go by your OWN opinion" when it deals with anything. Thanks-The game is in fact like a mix between Zelda and AC Odyssey(which has been mentioned on reviews)still fun, and I suggest you and others give it a try. I do agree about the name change, in that I would have preferred "Gods and Monsters" to "Fenyx Rising"

I just ordered Death Stranding with the DLC included, it's arriving on Monday @EllieFan85 Immortals: Feynx Rising sounds intriguing. Influenced by Greek mythology eh? Is it similar to God Of War then? How much have you played so far?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I would say it's a little similar-like Kratos, Fenyx can require special abilities from The Gods and Greek Heroes. Also in both games, Zeus is a complete A-Hole LOL. I usually love games built around Greek Mythology. I am also playing "Gods of Olympus" which is a mobile game in where you can play as Zeus and the other Olympians, as you smash City's and temples all over Greece. It's also fun but trying to get your levels and powers up can be a complete chore. https://www.godsofolympus.com/

As for "Immortals" I haven't even scratched the surface yet. One thing in this game that is extremely important, is STAMINA. You must increase your Stamina to last longer as in climbing Mountains, Swimming and even using special abilities while fighting, various opponents. If your Stamina depletes and goes kaput, your pretty much screwed(Especially when Climbing) so that's where I am at now-before taking on the main missions, I am trying to build stamina and level up as well.

I picked up Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order after the re-upping of the thread recently as I'd been tempted for a while and it's back on sale.

@RogerRoger I understand. I do have a Switch, but preferred to get this game for the PS4. It may be months when I get back to you in regards to finishing it LOL.

@Thrillho Feel free to tag me when you're discussing playing it man, I beat that game and would be happy to discuss it with you.

Sakura Wars!

Managed to get a good deal on the launch edition with the stickers, so I pulled the trigger.

So although I remember the reviews were absolutely garbage for it, I just picked up Metal Gear Survive. A guy that I’ve been playing MGS: Peace Walker with has been playing it and he reckons it’s a lot better than anyone gave it credit for at its release... and it was only £8 so even if it is terrible it’s not the end of the world.

@colonelkilgore I have heard it is not a bad game at all with friends. MGS5 has solid (!) gameplay so I don’t see how it can be that bad. I believe the Push Square reviewer thought it was alright and gave it an 8 (could be wrong).

I think it was probably going to be some sort of online mode that didn’t make the cut on the original game. Kojima was no stranger to including such modes. I guess Konami decided to cash in on it, especially after investing in the Fox engine.

Ha nice! Yeah V played great... my mate said that there are a couple of changes to the controls but on the whole it places quite similarly. And the maps are essentially the same too, albeit slightly changed due to the event that has caused the need to ‘Survive’.

In regards to the fact that Metal Gear Survive did get some respectable reviews... I guess I wasn’t a follower of the series at the time so probably just heard and read the clip notes from certain aspects of the gaming media.

I may well never get around to playing it as it is pretty low down on the list of priorities on my backlog right now but it’ll be there if I fancy it I suppose.

I preordered Cyber Shadow to enjoy the PS+ discount. Hope it’s fun!

@kyleforrester87 It’s coming to Game Pass PC so I’ll probably end up playing it at the same time!

Just picked up The Alliance Alive HD Remastered. I've already got so many JRPG's to finish, but I couldn't resist getting it while it was on sale. I'll start it once I finish Persona 5 Royal, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Dragon Quest XI and Ys IX... So in several years.
