Goron_3 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I only ever really played the most out of the first Prime (played bits of the second when a friend brought it around). It's definitely worth trying at some point. Such a great game. I'd also check out Fusion, which is also very good. I know that Axiom Verge is meant to be very Metroid-like in a few ways. @Goron_3, did you play this in the end? It's the best Metroid game you'll play this gen.
Blade Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Don't get Alien unless you want to age considerably. I stopped playing it as I just couldn't cope with it anymore.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Don't get Alien unless you want to age considerably. I stopped playing it as I just couldn't cope with it anymore. How far did you get? Just when I thought I knew the game and that it didn't scare me anymore, it does something else to make you realise, "Nope, I own you, bitch." Love the game. In about a year when my heart has recovered, I'll be going back for a second playthrough.
Ronnie Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Out of curiosity, gameplay wise are Infamous missions mostly just about running around and fighting people? Is that the meat of the game, ie. no puzzle solving or anything like that? As opposed to a game like Batman which seems a bit more varied I think?

Yeah, Infamous is more about the combat and how you traverse the city using your different powers.
somme Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 From what I remember about Infamous it is mostly fighting yes. But once you gain all of your super powers it's very, very fun.
Ronnie Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Ok thanks guys, kinda having second thoughts about what to play first lol. Mostly because I watched gameplay of Tomb Raider (varied gameplay) and the Order (stunning and great looking cover shooting) + Batman seems to have a mix of play styles and is obviously gorgeous looking. I don't doubt Infamous is good fun though. I guess it doesn't matter which goes first really.

I don't doubt Infamous is good fun though. I guess it doesn't matter which goes first really. They're all excellent games. It doesn't reeeeeally matter what you play first. Tomb Raider is just insane value for money. Go for that for definite. If you don't mind paying full price or close to it, go for Batman. It has a lot of variety to it in terms of combat, Batmobile stuff, puzzle solving, etc. InFAMOUS isn't really a puzzle type game, it's an action/superhero story. So, lots of combat, which is pretty fun in itself. Whatever you do, it should be Tomb Raider + 1 (at least). You'd be an absolute lunatic not to get it at that price. Go with your gut. You'll end up playing each game eventually anyway (because we'll force you to, aha). If Batman is taking your fancy, do it.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 New Until Dawn trailer. Do we have a thread for this game? I searched but couldn't find one.
Daft Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I don't think there is a thread. I think this game might be a bit of a surprise hit. Looks like an amazing party game.
Happenstance Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Well their Gamescom conference last year was pretty good for announcements and they cancelled that one this year to focus on the event in Paris so I think we're hoping for a similar showing.

Yup. They said that they thought E3 and Gamescom were too close together, so have decided to leave any new announcements for Paris. The other day they also confirmed that the PS Experience would be happening in December. Looks like they are looking to end the year on a high again.
S.C.G Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Nice to see Sony being proactive. I haven't turned on my PS4 for months but I can just see that It's going to be hard to turn it off towards the end of the year.
CoolFunkMan Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Looks like the hype train is going to start rolling soon then, can't wait to see what Sony have in store for us! Although they're going to have to do a lot to top/equal their E3 conference.
Ronnie Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 PS4 GET! I've also got Tomb Raider, Arkham Knight and Infamous on the way. After umming and ahhing for ages about what to play first I've settled on Watch Dogs... I think. Having thought about it I reckon it'll have a bit more variety and the kind of gameplay that I like compared to Infamous. I'm a big fan of cover-based third person shooting, it has a bit of driving, the hacking looks fun and generally the game was pretty well received. It'll also be my first openworld game, so I'm excited about that. The Order is probably next on my list. Tomb Raider I'm happy to leave till a bit later so that the gap between it and the sequel isn't so long, but am very excited to play it. Indie wise I'm looking forward to finally playing Journey, also Resogun, Transistor, Flower, Galak-Z, Velocity 2X, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Oh and Trials Fusion if that counts. Bigger titles to follow: Uncharted Collection (can't wait), Tearaway Unfolded (can't wait), No Man's Sky (omg), Rime (Wind Waker 2), Need For Speed (I like the FMV addition) and AC: Syndicate (decent jumping in point to the series I think) Plus loads more this year like Rogue Legacy, Adr1ft, maybe Battlefront if the single player is ok. *rubs hands* Let's see what all the fuss is about... (tonight, when I get in)
Hero-of-Time Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Congrats, Ronnie. I just hope you like it. Start adding people on PSN once you get everything set up. Personally, I would go with playing The Order first. It really shows what the PS4 is capable of in terms of visuals and it's a game that can be finished in 5-7 hours.
Shorty Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Welcome to the fold. Personally I think both those games are utterly shite so don't be too quick to judge the system based on them :p
Sheikah Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I found Watch Dogs to be a pretty fun game; it's a weird one as you have people who seemingly hate it and people who think it's good. A very marmite game.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I sit in the hate camp for the game. I found it to be very bland and tedious. I did enjoy the online hacking stuff though.
Daft Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Watch Dogs has great mechanics. The driving and car chases are really exhilarating and work beautifully with trying to break line of sight, it's a little like Drive: The Videogame. The rest of it is a massive flaming piece of shite. Story, script, characterisation, mission structure, level design. All of them absolutely abysmal. Also, the fact that you can't look directly up means you cannot hack helicopters if they're directly above you. Seriously, what the hell? I enjoyed The Order, but then we bought it between two people for only £20. I had it Platinumed within five hours. It's a great game, just not worth the RRP by a long shot. Sadly. If you are into local multiplayer games, get Towerfall.
Happenstance Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 My biggest problem with Watch Dogs was just how bland the world felt. Coming from open world games like GTA V and Sleeping Dogs it was just this boring grey area.
