Topic: Your Latest PS4 Purchase

@Th3solution my favourite Dark Souls, I always get bored of the other 2 before I can finish them but I’ve played DS2 a couple of times.

Bought Zombie Army 4: Dead War. I decided to get this game mostly because it's part of the Sniper Elite series but also because it looks like a really fun zombie shooter. Probably won't play it for a while as I already own the Zombie Army Trilogy, but at least now I have a good amount of games in this franchise to play through.

The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters, Steins;Gate 0 & Okage: Shadow King are my latest purchases. Just over a tenner for the lot!

The Coma 2 being a 2D South Korean Horror Game with a neat looking art style.

Steins Gate 0 being a visual novel and sequel (Or is it a Preque?) to the popular visual novel/anime series Steins;Gate with Timey Wimey... stuff.

And Okage: Shadow King being a Sony first party JRPG from the PS2 that apparently never released here in europe... Yet I swear I saw it's box art multiple times back in the day! I quite like the weird almost Tim Burton-esque art style for the characters too...

There was another update for The Witcher 3 on PS5 today so I had a quick look at the current sale while it downloaded. I noticed Broken Sword 5 was in there and I haven't played one of these in years, I think the third might have been the last one I played. I used to enjoy all the old point n' click adventures on PC so took a punt and got it, especially as it was only £1.25 (or something like that).

@BearsEatBeets That’s a good shout, I picked this up a few months ago in another sale. It’s been a very long time since I played a Broken Sword game.

@AgentCooper I assume you've not got around to playing it yet then. I'm thinking it will be a nice, relaxed, quickish game after I'm done with the Witcher 3 I'm playing now.

Just bought Shadow Warrior and Sniper Elite 3 for €8 in total in the latest PS Store sale. Honestly pretty good deals for these two games. I'm looking forward to giving them a go in the future.

Just bought Hat in Time for a bargain £8 on Amazon (not that price anymore unfortunately). Quite surprised to find out it also includes one of the two pieces of dlc, shame not both but one is better than nothing.

@LtSarge Sniper elite 3 is very good. Are you a trophy hunter? I think @colonelkilgore also has that game and there are some multi player medals required for the platinum and they can be privately boosted with 2 players, however one of them needs 3...I'm happy to help if required.
No pressure from me as I already have the platinum although the colonel might come knocking. 😂

@CaptD Unfortunately, I'll probably won't bother with the trophies in this one since I don't really play multiplayer in games anymore (except for Nintendo titles). It'll probably also take a while before I get to the third game since I still need to play V2.

Coincidentally, I've been watching people play Sniper Elite 3 multiplayer and it looks like a ton of fun. So who knows, I might change my mind in the future.

@CaptD I do have 3 (A Hat in Time too but am yet to play it)… doubt I’ll ever end up playing it though. As much as I loved 4… I’ll probably just end up playing the series from that point onwards than go back… cheers for the call out though 🫡

Lol just saw @LtSarge’s post. Never say never I guess 😅

@BearsEatBeets No I haven’t, like you say it looks like a nice relaxed playthrough after something more intense. Back in the 90s these types of games would be every 3rd game I played 😂

@LtSarge I’ll definitely be playing it at some point if you ever need a boosting partner 👍

In the recent sale I picked up Blasphemous for £4.99 and Valkyria Chronicles 4: Complete Edition for £9.99.

Your VC4 review @Th3Solution is still doing work Sol! Helps I enjoyed my time with VC1 too that I took a punt on thanks to that review

Good evening.
I bought another PS4 game yesterday.
My Time at Portia
Take a look.

@BearsEatBeets After noticing this weekend that Broken Sword 5 was only $0.99 in the current sale, I looked it up on YouTube to see what it was like. I noticed a playthrough video on there that was just short of 7 hours, so I'm assuming it should be right around that for playtime. So, in other words, you are likely right about it being a relaxing quickish game.

@HallowMoonshadow Oh wow, that’s great! I’m so glad you found it helpful. It’s been a couple years so I had to go back and read it myself in order to remember what I’d said about it. 😅 That motivates me to write more reviews. There’s something really fun about going back and reading one’s own review years later after the initial excitement of the game has passed and the memory of it has dulled.

I’ll certainly be interested what you think when you get around to playing VC4. I never went back to do the post-game content, but I definitely enjoyed the game.

@AgentCooper Me too, I think I played every LucasArts game of this type they made (which was quite a few).
@KilloWertz That sounds about a nice sweet spot for runtime.

That will not go out well with the community.

My Sonic Origins Plus PS4 copy arrived way early and the Game Gear and Amy are not on disk but on DLC code that worked with my original digital version. No new graphics option have been included.

Still there are some more says till the official release.

@RogerRoger With Sonic Mania Plus the DLC was in the disk, at least in the PS4 version. With Mania I didn't preorder but I randomly saw the game in store in a local retailer many days before the original release and got it. I guess the same thing happened now

Any chance you guys are doing a review for this on PS4/PS5?
@get2sammyb @LiamCroft

I think I've seen enough to know I want to get it, I'm just curious what state it's in performance/bug-wise on playstation.

@BearsEatBeets Yes, there will be a PS5 review! We only received review code this morning, though, so our verdict might be a ways out I'm afraid.
