Persona 4 Golden

 

I knew this would be the first reply :heh: I've never played any of the previous games before, so may I ask what makes the franchise so great?

 

Nope, no problems at all.

 

 

 

Yep, in that all physical games from any region can be played on it. Any PSN account can load on it too (any region), but unlike PS3 you can't just easily switch between accounts to download games from various regional stores. No issue at all though if you don't have a US/Japanese PSN account on top of your regular EU account.

 

 

 

Persona 4 Golden is the must have game of the system, no questions asked.

 

Other amazing games:

 

Rayman Origins & Legends

Final Fantasy X/X-2 (awesome if you like RPGs)

Zero Escape (sequel to 999)

Disgaea 3 and 4

LittleBigPlanet

Tearaway

Soul Sacrifice

Metal Gear Solid HD

 

I highly recommend these Indie games too:

 

Rogue Legacy

Terraria

Spelunky

Hotline Miami

 

A lot of good to be had on this.

 

Awesome. P4G, FFX, Disgaea and the new Tales game are definitely on my list. I also want to get hold of Daranorompa (I've literally just guessed what that game is called...it's name always confuses me!) as I've heard it's similar to games like Virtues Last Reward.

Its just a really great RPG. Because it is set over a year and a lot of it tends to revolve around the normal lives of the characters you get to know them a lot more than you would other games and become invested in their lives. All the parts of the game, combat, story etc are good but for me it was the investment in those characters that kept me going and is probably why its now one of my favourite games of all time. Once I get my Playstation TV later this year I'm planning on playing it through yet again which should be my fourth playthrough I think of a 100+ hour game.

Excited to get some Minecraft on for PS4. Wonder how servers will work, would be great if they hosted them.

 

I expect it will just end up being done locally like the 360 one and you'll only be able to go back to worlds when the person is online. Will be a shame but I guess might force us all to arrange times to meet when we want to play.

Danganronpa (sheesh, it's not that hard! :p ) borrows inspiration from Zero Escape and Phoenix Wright, but isn't anywhere near as good as either series. I found the game really disappointing, so you may want to temper your expecations.

 

Then again, NeoGAF seems to absolutely love it, so your mileage may vary.

Wow, that's interesting. What didn't you like about it?

 

I literally adore the Zero Escape series. I'm absolutely gutted that we probably won't see the final game in trilogy made. The first game is my favourite DS title.

Pretty much everything, honestly. :p

 

The characters are extremely one-note ("likes donuts", "nerd", "thinks he's better than everyone else"), and as soon as anyone gets any kind of character development, they end up dead shortly after, since the game only really focuses on characters when they're involved in a murder somehow, which usually means they're either the victim or the murderer.

 

Like Phoenix Wright, every chapter is focused around a murder, but unlike Phoenix Wright, the cases are extremely predictable, to the point where you'll often figure out exactly how the murder went down almost immediately.

 

The gameplay's awful. The trials are really gimmicky - rather than just show the right evidence at the right time, you have to shoot a 'truth bullet' at the false statement... and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to awful mini-games. I really ended up hating the trials because of this. Between trials, you get a chance to spend time with the other characters, kind of like the social links in Persona 4. Once you've spent enough time with them, you'll unlock rewards that make the trial mini-games easier. There are two problems with this: 1) There are only so many opportunities to spend time with characters and they die at an alarming rate, so your precious time will often have been completely wasted when the character dies before you get a chance to max their social link, and 2) Spending time with the characters is so boring. Since all of the character development takes place in the main story, they have absolutely nothing of interest to say when you speak with them outside of that.

 

The main story's okay, but ultimately not that interesting - and it stays in the background for most of the game, anyway. There are a couple of good twists, but nothing on the level of Virtue's Last Reward, where I consistently had my mind blown.

 

But as I said, none of this seems to bother NeoGAF, so maybe it's just me. :heh:

You know how I'm perpetually late to everything? Well holy fuck, Hotline Miami. It's the most extreme violence; human pinatas bursting open at a touch, mixed with extreme tension because you die in one hit too, mixed with the most PCP-trip induced soundtrack ever.

 

SO GOOD.

Also, in reference to the aforementioned giblet simulator:

Two things.

 

A - The music in that reminds me of Crockett's theme from Miami Vice. And it looks like a Jon Woo movie!

So, it would seem that Phantasy Star Nova is being released in November and there's a demo of sorts on the Japanese PSN, so it looks like I'll be getting my new Phantasy Star machine soon.

 

Very soon in fact.
