How are the mods for Skyrim on PS4? Do you think it's worth getting for someone who liked skyrim but hated the combat so much that I stopped before completing the main quest or playing any DLC? I wanted to be a battlemage type and I really didn't like it. Archery was okay

I don't know specifics but there's a 1 gig size limit on mods along with other restrictions so "epic" mods are generally absent. Xbox One's limit is 5 gigs, and I don't believe there's one on PC as long as you have the system resources for it.

The discs are only used to transfer data during installation, the games aren't read from disk any more at all. Discs are only used for DRM on PS4

Having a disc doesn't matter, you have to install the entire game regardless.

Doom is amazing. Best single-player game I've played all year, period. Great on PS4.

The main issue I ran into is extremely long load times, especially as you get further into the game. The load times after beating a mission seemed the worst, they'd take several minutes. I think I also had the game lock up twice while playing. If you can deal with the very long load times it's a fun game, but I imagine it would be much better to get on PC if you can.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Gaaah, Doom is on the list, but I'm also eyeing Darkest Dungeon and Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Is DXMD worth getting the 'deluxe edition' or whatever? Is the season pass expected to not suck?

Apparently they cut a bunch of story content to sell as DLC so I would wait till next year and see how the season pass shapes up because gently caress that!

Yup. On the bright side if you're not playing any of those currently just delete the game data (not your save data). Install from disc is faster than downloading 50gigs.

How did the GTA Trilogy shape up on PS4? I never played them back in the day more than in passing, so GTAV was my first real intro to the series (which I had a ball with).

^^ IIRC they're all the mobile ports, repackaged. And there's some music licensing issues.

Picked up Titanfall 2, Psychopass, Xcom 2, DOOM, and Mafia 3. :toot: Would've grabbed the latest Destiny expansion but for some reason (which I suspect rhymes with Abstractive Collision) it's not on sale, only their lame Destiny Collection thing.

Aight, I just got a PS4 today and I'm budgeting another 39 Euro to pick something up on sale on PSN.

Titanfall 2 or the Destiny collection? Or something else. I know Titanfall 2 gets rave reviews despite having a small and dwindling playerbase, and I'm looking for something that is both a really fun game but also will have some legs.

Destiny 2 is coming next year and the population in Destiny 1 is already dropping off because they finished everything in the new expansion. Go get Titanfall.

Titanfall 2 has a really good single player campaign in addition to fun multi so you should get that

They're PS2 on PS4 ports actually, but you're still right about the music licensing issues. GTA3 at 1080p looks oddly decent but it's still the same game it was 15 years ago.

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
Decided on XCOM 2 digital deluxe, Deus Ex: MD, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Hitman - Complete 1st Season, Far Cry Primal, and Max Max.

Since I only had a couple bucks left on the $200 CAD cart max with the 10% discount code, finally picked up Corn Love Forever.

I, uh... I'm good for a bit, I think.

Made the hard choice to drop Handsome Collection and Telltale Batman Season Pass but those will definitely go on sale again, potentially at Christmas. Mafia III was also tempting but I think it'll come down more next month, and/or wanted to see where the DLC lands.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Woop, i picked a great time to pick up a PS4 it seems.

Not only did i get ratchet and clank, and the Nathan drake collection for like £12 each earlier in the week, but i just picked up killzone and the 2 infamous games for a total of £24 too!

Is my timing just really good (as in i'm 2 years late to the console so all the old stuff is really cheap/black friday) or are there just really good sales all the time?

I was thinking on this too. There is a 3 mission expansion where you play as a mammoth as the big get, there's also an unbreakable club and "advanced access" to "rare" materials you otherwise normally get (i.e. premium currency IAP).

I'm planning on passing and just getting the base game, from my experience with FC3 and 4 I'm sure it'll stand alone fine.
Update to this: normal FC Primal apparently just comes with the Mammoth missions anyway. So, strong non-recommend on the deluxe version for that reason.

I think you shouldn't buy it if they think you're dumb enough to pay extra for that crap.

It's a little of both.

Early life-cycle stuff is cheaper on PSN already so during a sale it usually drops down to under 10 quid.

Other than that, there is always at least one AAA game as a weekly deal and there is usually some kind of a sale on a selection of other stuff as well.

If you have patience you can amass a great collection of games for gently caress all.

It's real vapid. I'd play it on Xbox or PC if you can -- they're not hamstrung too much. Or at all in the case of PC

It does have random encounters, and as you proceed through the game you get abilities which can change the encounter rate dramatically.

It's a fairly straightforward playthrough. For the most part normal will be pretty easy as long as you have a reasonable Digimon type distribution.

ok so its not like a take 2 steps, fight a battle, sort of thing but more like you can set it to taste?

cool. 17 is a good price for it. thats exactly what it costs to buy a copy and resell it to amazon (30 purchase, 13 trade in)
