Topic: The PlayStation Fan Thread

It is a fairly minor game. The only games that really get a large following on this forum are the 1st party Nintendo games, with a few exceptions for big 3rd party AAA games like Witcher 3 or Dark Souls.

All PS3/PS4 DLC is region locked, the copy of a game has to match the region of that game's DLC. So like if you have a Europe PSN account, you need a Europe copy of a game. It's the games themselves that aren't region locked (e.g. you can play a NA game on a Europe PS4).

@Anti-Matter Nobody is hating on you. It's just that you can't expect people on a Nintendo forum to have played an incredibly niche PS4 game, that's probably why nobody answered your question. So again, why not go over to PushSquare and try to ask it over there? Or Twitter like @redd214 suggested?

While Sony hasn't officially announced no PSX, it's too late to announce for a December event. Do you think maybe there will be PSX in early 2020 then with people getting to check out the PS5?

@Grumblevolcano Im sure there will be some type of event in February to reveal the 5 just like they did with the 4. Whether its a PSX style event or just a "Playstation Meeting" anyone's guess, though id assume the latter. Then a return to E3 in some capacity for more hand on. Exciting times nonetheless!

PS5 is coming next Christmas, so an early reveal event is inevitable.

Q1 is a good time, as it gives the public plenty of time to soak up the details on the new system. Dedicate E3 to upcoming PS4/PS5 games.

Isn't PS5 out yet? I thought it was. They discontinued PS4 like 10 years ago and just talked about PS5 since then. When's PS6 coming?

I just want to know what's new in HZD2

Are there people here playing Death Stranding?

Its weird btw... but very engaging at the same time ha.

@Sadist I am. I've played the prologue and chapter 1. Granted, it's heavy on cut-scenes, so I haven't really done a lot myself, but at least some of the trailers make sense now. Well, kinda.

That's surprising, @Octane .... Not like any of his previous games were like that

@BruceCM Haven't really played MGS, so I wouldn't know.

The gameplay definitely has some interesting elements; I'm curious to see how far they're going to take the stealth elements, because it can get quite tense.

I'm personally not a big fan of the online connectivity. Seeing structures other people have built is neat, but I like to do it myself. There's no challenge when there's a bridge built every other minute, no need to get into the water yourself etc. I've turned it off, but I'm curious if it also removes the existing structures, otherwise I'll consider starting a new playthrough.

And what's with Kojima and wanting to remind us he made the game? If you took a shot every time ''KOJIMA'' appeared on screen, you'd be drunk in 10 minutes...

@Octane It’s the same with MGS, he really wants to be remembered.

Well, I only tried MGS V on GamePass, @Octane .... But I was skipping plenty of scenes in the time I played

I heard the final cutscene is like 2 hours long. Which, even if I have no interest in the game, I'm impressed by just because of the sheer length. People say he should just make movies, but maybe the reason he doesn't is because his stories require way more than 2 hours, lol

I'm only a few hours in. It's pretty interesting. Seems like what people say they enjoyed about BOTW the game. Bunch of exploring.

“Kojima how many times are you mentioned in the opening cutscene?”

Kojima: Yes.

The multiplayer element makes me think about Dark Souls. Not a bad thing. Game itself is strange, but traversing the world has been interesting.

The encounter moments however are somewhat panicky.

Finished Sekiro. Finally!

Easily one of my favourite in the Soulsborne series. I think i'd put it about the same quality as Bloodborne, which is tied second after DS1 for me. So:
DS1>Bloodborne=Sekiro>DS3>DS2 (and still not played Demons Souls, waiting for a remaster please).

I think this probably had the best gameplay in the series, and it definitely had some of the best bosses. I still do massively prefer the setting for Dark Souls though. While the world of Sekiro was very well designed, it just didn't feel like it had that kind of magic and mystery that Dark Souls 1 especially did.

The world was noway near as interconnected as Dark Souls 1, and it had a lot less in terms of secrets to uncover through exploration. In fact this was their first game for a while that had no large secret area you have to discover. Dark Souls 3 had Archdragon Peak. Bloodborne had Cainhurst Castle. Dark Souls 1 had Painted World and Great Hollow/Ash Lake. And I can't remember what Dark Souls 2 had because I've wiped it from my memory. Sekiro had nothing like this.

Game of the year so far though. I haven't played RE2 or Death Stranding though, so one of those might usurp it when I do! I'm not sure what else this year might challenge it.

@Dezzy I’m with on DS1 being the best Soulsborne game overall. It had the most memorable collection of bosses, NPCs, and I liked the interconnected world like you mentioned. Bloodborne to me though had the best and most oppressive/sinister atmosphere, as well as the most refined presentation and music in any of the games.

I’d place Sekiro above DS3 because I like how it altered the gameplay. It basically says here is this sword- now go and learn how to use it because this is your weapon for the whole game. Sure there are the different abilities and prosthetics, but it probably the most straightforward combat in any of the SB games. That is a plus for me because the game really makes you feel like you are engaged in a sword fight for those encounters. The combat being centered around the clashing of steel and swift movement totally works.

Presentation wise, the areas and music in Sekiro fall a bit short. I give exception to Mibu Village, Fountainhead Palace, and Senpou Temple. The whole of Senpou Temple in particular was awesome and might be the highlight of the game for me. The combat music for the area is just brilliant with those creepy Monks chanting over those thunderous drums.

Beating Demon of Hatred and Isshin, the Sword Saint though- wow. The later especially being the ultimate test of mental and hand-eye coordination. A couple of nights I had to accept defeat and rest my aching hands.

Anyway great game and one of the best this year for sure.

After playing the first two games back to back I've decided to take a lengthy break from the .Hack G.U. collection. Story is pretty interesting, but the core dungeon crawling gameplay gets a bit dull after awhile (especially since they only have a few different environmental themes, and often feel like padding to stretch out the story or otherwise more interesting sections).

Anyhow, I've jumped into Tearaway Unfolded, which is off to a good first impression. Takes a bit for the platforming itself to really start coming into play (you don't even gain the ability to independently jump until the tail end of the second area), but it seems to be one of the few titles I've played that seems to make meaningful use of things like the controller's touchpad & gyro (and even the Playstation Camera, which is used to show a window into the real world, through a literal tear in the sky), and it's full of charm.
