Rockpile233 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Witcher 3 is probably the best game on ps4. I’m a big fan of the Souls series, so Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are must plays. Of course any Elder Scrolls game is a must play, although I maintain that Skyrim was trash compared to Oblivion. Completely dumbed down in almost every way although is gorgeous to look at. I’ve been desperate for a new game, but I’m usually very underwhelmed by most titles these days. I really only love RPGs and there hasn’t been many great titles of late.

LOVED that game. You can play it online for free nowadays! Would have saved me a lot of quarters back in the day. Sounds very much like the Fallout games in concept, even if it's a different setting. I'm a giant Fallout fan so I will probably really like Skyrim as well. Fallout 3 was Bethesda’s project after making The Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion Gameplay is similar and Bethesda does a tremendous job on both. They take 5-7 years each project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Has anyone played "Journey" on PS4? I mentioned it up-thread but no one commented on it. It is consistently mentioned as like Top 5 or Top 10 games all time for the PS4, and that has now been around for a while. One list of The Best 100 games for PS4 had Journey at like 6 or something. Some people were comparing it to Shadow of the Colossus as one of the best games all-time. I loved that game so I suspect Journey is pretty good.

BillsFan4 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Since we are talking about PlayStation, you've gotta mention some of their exclusive titles... -> Horizon Zero Dawn - one of the best games I've ever played. Highly recommend checking it out. This game was one of the main reasons I bought a PS4 when I already had an Xbox One. -> Nier:Automata - another great PS4 exclusive. The more I played it the more I loved it. Definitely recommend playing it. -> Uncharted (series) - one of the first PS4 games I played and I really enjoyed it. I bought the Uncharted collection used at GameStop (Uncharted 1, 2 & 3 on the same disc) for pretty cheap. The story line in these game are is top notch IMO. Puzzles are fun to solve and the gun battles get pretty epic (although drawn out at times). Worth playing for sure. Haven't got to #4 or5 yet but they're on my list. -> Killzone: Shadow Fall - another pretty good PS4 exclusive. This one wasn't as long as the others above but was still fun (if you like stealth and FPS) -> Nioh - I seen it mentioned and I personally thought Nioh was way too hard and frustrating. You die very easy and you have to start over from the last checkpoint and there is usually quite a distance between them. P,us you lose all your stuff and have to make it back to your body, and if you die on the way your hoard of gear is gone forever... Some (non PS4 exclusive) games that have been some of my favorites - -Grand Theft Auto 5 (a must play IMO) - Batman (entire Arkham series is great. Arkham Knight is the newest. You can buy the first 2 games for less than $20 in a package. It's called Batman Return to Arkham) - Fallout 4 - Watch Dogs 2 (great game. The original is a lot of fun too. Watch Dogs 2 is among my favorite games ever) - Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider (2 more of my favorites ever) - Assassin's Creed: Orgins (there have been lots of good AC games. Black Flag and a Rogue were 2 more favorites) - Far Cry 5 (Far Cry 3 is also a must play too IMO. The story and characters are amazing). - Dishonored and Dishonored 2 (if you like stealth games, with elements of BioShock in them (like the special powers you have)) - Dragon Age inquisition (great game, great story, takes a long time to play through) - Elder Scrolls Skyrim -Horizon zero Dawn and Nier Automata also belong on this list (as does Uncharted, although I'd maybe rank it a bit lower than the games above) - Sniper Elite 4 (the slow motion shots alone, where you watch your bullet rip through whatever major organ you hit makes this game worth buying/renting) - Borderlands 2 (belongs on any good game list) - South Park (both 'the stick of truth' and 'the fractured but whole' are fantastic games if you are a fan of the show. It makes you feel like you are really in an episode of South Park. So much fun!) - Red Dead Redemption (can't wait for RDR 2!!) That's all I got off the top of my head... lol Tip - GameStop has a return policy on used games. You can bring it back within 7 days no questions asked. Ive tried and returned/exchanged numerous games this way (and actually beat a couple games within the week and took them back). Kind of makes it risk free to try a game.

Something relatively simple, where the focus is more on racing than car building? It's weird, I'm the farthest thing from a car guy, but I love playing car racing games. I used to have a Hotwheels Turbo Racing game for PS1 which was actually a lot of fun. Just pick your car, and race. Do they still make Gran Turismo? That was my go-to racing game when I had a PS2.

BillsPride12 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I don't really play video games these days but I was given a Super Nintendo mini for a Christmas gift this year and just recently had my tech savy buddy jailbreak it with tons of old school video games I grew up playing...I can't wait until I get a weekend with nothing going on to waste away hours playing those games just like I did as a kid. It will also be a nice way of filling the void of the NHL and NBA playoffs when they come to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even back when I played on PS2, I always bought my sports games a year or two behind. I got Madden 17 for like 5 bucks. Got NHL 16 for like 3. The only reason I bought the The Show '17, which was like 20 something, instead of 16 for like, is because my friend has 17, so we can play each other online.

If you can learn the catch mechanics the gameplay is 100x better than it used to be . Generic Y catch made almost every pass and catch look the same. now that you can RAC catch with x, jump ball with Y or possession with A it’s made the catching animations 100x better and more realistic. If you try RAC catching it across ththe middle with a LBr barreling in your gonna get blown up and drop it. Need to Possession A catch it.
