But realtalk I mainly read/respond to posts in big chunks because I don't have a smartphone, so usually only twice a day. And the PS4 thread is already one giant shitpost so who cares, is my take...

I don't read once or twice a day and there are still times where I open Games and there are 100~200 new posts in this thread, and that's when nothing special happened that day. It's way more active than the Steam Thread or even the Chat Thread.

I think the Ps4 having a much smaller gallery than the thousands of games Steam adds every year also helps me focus.

The remakes of Ratchet & Clank and Shadow of the Colossus. Both of the Infamous games (Second Son and First Light). Marvel's Spider-Man comes out in a few months and definitely fits in with that brainless thing.

If you'd like to try any kind of sport/racing game then Gran Turismo Sport, Everybody's Golf, MLB The Show, Driveclub, and the Wipeout Omega Collection are all pretty great.

I feel dumb for not even thinking to recommend most of these, but the PS4 has so many good exclusives at this point it's sort of daunting to recommend poo poo to people lol. It's just like "well, there's about 50 good exclusives lets see which ones I can rattle off of the top of my head."

It’s 2:30 am and I’m laying here thinking about that thing that happens at the end of Nier: A. I miss the game already. A lot. In a certain way that I don’t normally feel about most games.

Thaaaaanks buddy! Hopefully I can join the club and convince others to give the game a go. It’s so worth pushing past the initial weirdness of B. It’s like David Lynch showing you a guy sweeping a floor for 5 minutes. You can demand something else and be frustrated or consider what you’re given and get so much more out of the whole.

I have BtS on Steam but I think the only way you get the bonus episode is to buy the deluxe edition. Farewell isn't the epilogue though, more of like a mini prequel to the prequel with Chloe and Max as kids. Anyway it's cheap and Farewell is a nice cap to the series so I just recommend the deluxe!

That is the trophy for the second one!

I don't think I will ever get the platinum for Knack 1, because even though I enjoyed that game, the platinum requires at least 2, more likely 3-4, playthroughs and farming of random chests, and I don't want to grow to hate it.

Quantum of Phallus posted:

Realtalk, in order to cut the grind down for the Knack 1 platinum, the larger friends list you have of people who have also played Knack will make it more likely to get the rarer drops from chests

I only have 4 platinums. I would probably rank them like this:

4. Horizon Zero Dawn (meh, I just kind of fell into this one and it's not too special)
3. Resogun (fond memories of PS4 launch)
2. Knack 2 (challenging yet doesn't overstay its welcome, so satisfying)
1. The Witness (for a moment I believed I had achieved a state of true enlightenment that transcended space and time)

Those of you with PS4s and a capable gaming PC, how do you choose which to buy multiplats for?

For me personally it seems like anything that plays best with a controller I gravitate towards console because of the coach factor. I have an X1 controller I use for certain Steam games but it just feels odd to use a controller at a desk...

I find silverlight or whatever it is runs my PC games on TV really well, but there are things I get on PS4 just because it's convenient. I hate using controller at desk as well so I heavily preference stuff like Tomb Raider games and stuff on PS4, but I've got to admit I played Rise on my up to date PC and it looked loving incredible. Basically FPS on PC, 3rd person on PS4 and xbox games on PC silverlighting to my Sony television.

I favor PC for the :pcgaming::pcgaming::pcgaming: unless it's a legendarily bad port like Nier:A. My PS4 and PC are hooked up to the same monitor for maximum laziness so location isn't an issue.

Well obviously I will never ever play FPS games on my PS4. But Yakuza or any brawler is superior with a controller.
However, I also try not to block the TV too much, as the GF usually watches TV while I game unless we play coop or it is a game she likes watching me play.

This makes me feel splendid inside. :D It is why I wrote that long effort post. It is still sitting with me a few weeks on and I do listen to the soundtrack every day because of it.

In regards to soundtracks (Nier and Nier:Automata spoiler): Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but I gave the original soundtrack a listen even though I have not finished the game and my mind flipped on itself when I reached Emil:Sacrifice and realised the haunting singing is the same song that Emil hums when driving his little shop around in Nier:Automata.

Does nier stay super easy on normal? I love everything about the game but I never died at the beginning and I remember that being a controversial part or something because you couldn’t save? Should I try a step up or are enemies just spongier?

Enemies dont get any extra health but beware, the difficulty jump between Normal and Hard is massive. Tougher enemies will one shot you if you are below their level and most enemies will two shot you.

On hard mode the prologue boss will one shot you no problem.

Have you played Divinity: Original Sin II yet? It's very much a "clear out the backlog for a month" kind of game because it's easily 80-100 hours long but it's one of the best CRPGs ever made. And it's coming to PS4 in August wowzers!

I research the port quality and what is the framerate cap on PS4: Nier: Automata on PS4 because the PC port is not good, Witcher 3 (if I were to buy it again) on PC because even though my machine is not beastly anymore it can still run it on Ultra at 60 FPS.

But if the two are tied I will probably get it on PS4 as a physical copy (if available) because I can resell it if I don't want it anymore. Most PC boxed stuff is just empty box with a code (why even bother with boxes???).
