Esequiel Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I most definitely am, yes! Never played it before so thanks for the heads up. Is CV a good entry? Code Veronica was the pinnacle of survivor horror. 11/10 would crap my pants again.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Code Veronica was the pinnacle of survivor horror. 11/10 would crap my pants again. It has such a good atmosphere. It was really challenging, as well. If you weren't conservative with your ammo then you could really screw yourself over in the mid game boss fight. A lad I used to work with had to do that fight with a few bullets and a knife.
killthenet Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 What order would you suggest doing the Resident Evil games in? I've played REmake on PS4, RE4 on Wii and Revelations on 3DS so I'm a bit all over the place with it really, Code Veronica has always appealed to me so I'll definitely pick it up on PS4 but wondering if I should play RE0 first because I've got the origins collection.

RE0 doesn't really have any bearing on the story of CV. Ideally you should play 1 and 2 before taking on CV. Playing through the first game is probably good enough though.

Getting an A rank is tough, especially as it's probably the longest and hardest of the old Resi games. There's also the battle mode to do, which can be pretty tough with certain characters.

Ooo you do surprise me! But I guess if you have played it before then there's not always the want / need. I have never played it so am excited to give it a go. Will download it later.
Tales Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Ooooh, could be quite interesting for @Eenuh, as she's into this sort of stuff. Was Grand Ages: Medieval any good in the end? I wanted to pick it up but decided not to. I've seen it flash up on PSN a few times at around £15. It's one sale now if you're interested, for almost half than the price you mentioned. Stardew Valley is also on sale for those who still haven't bought it.
Josh64 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Amazing! I always wanted to try the Mega CD game. There is a limited physical release being done that has a box like the Mega/Sega CD. I've never seen or even heard of this but have had a fascination with these weird Mega CD games on YouTube. I'll be getting this as soon as it's on the store, it looks hilarious and corny as hell. I hope it paves the way for more of these types of games to arrive. As for me, the PS4 has been blowing me away the last month or so. It was a slow burn when I got it in October, I had fun on Miku and stuff but there wasn't much in the charts that interested me but now that I've scratched beneath the surface and found all these indie games I'm loving it. Browsing the store takes me back to the wonder I'd have scrolling through masses of GameCube games back in the day. Yooka-Laylee is what really warmed me back up to the PS4, a HD open platformer with all the humour and music of the Banjo games. It's something I've been wanting Nintendo to do for years but thankfully Playtonic do what Nintendon't. It has its niggles but its so up my alley that it's the most fun I've had with a game this year. Snake Pass came out of nowhere but I really loved that. The controls didn't take long to get used to at all and it feels very theraputic just wrapping around wood and slithering from place to place, the only time I got frustrated is in the last few levels with that damn wind. All in all though it felt like a great mix of Super Monkey Ball and Octodad. I got ABZU yesterday which seriously blew me away. The first few areas were great and looked beautiful and kind of what I expected the whole game to be like but it evolved so much more and become a lot more engaging than I could have ever expected with some seriously impressive scenes. It's short but fantastic and I can't wait to get back on it to find all the hidden shells and get some more of them trophies. I'm tempted to get Loco-Roco but I'm not sure if I'm totally done with 2D games right now, though it does look just different enough to perhaps help me overlook that. I'm fairly blind to a lot of releases on the store though, so if you guys have any suggestions fire them my way.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 It's one sale now if you're interested, for almost half than the price you mentioned. Stardew Valley is also on sale for those who still haven't bought it. I came home from work to see that @Eenuh had purchased both of these. (Grand Ages and Stardew Valley) Just got to find the time to get into them now.
Josh64 Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 I got Grow Up! today. I hated the first 20 minutes, I was falling all over the place and it took me ages to climb back up things but I my love started to snowball, the more abilities I unlocked the more I enjoyed it and now I'm gliding around all over the place and spouting stuff everywhere. It's a nice art style and I love some of the gliding tasks, feels a lot like Pilotwings. I'll see how I feel when I've completed it but I'm thinking of picking up the original too.
nekunando Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 As for me, the PS4 has been blowing me away the last month or so. It was a slow burn when I got it in October.. I've actually kinda been the opposite I opened my PS4 on Christmas Eve and had an enjoyable couple of months with it before the Switch arrived in March. Since then, my interest in it has dropped off a cliff with games I was previously thinking about, like The Last Guardian, no longer seeming so appealing The console is on every day as my wife watches YouTube and other services, while it's also used as our DVD player in the living room. There aren't many games being played on it right now and my excitement for the future is with Switch rather than PS4. I'm sure my interest will return again sporadically, as it tends to do with any PlayStation hardware, but for now I'm just chipping away at The Evil Within..
Rummy Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks for the shout on Stardew Valley @Tales - gonna pick it up this evening methinks! Might use it as an excuse to spur me back into playing BotW which I haven't touched for about a month. Damn PS4 just keeps taking all my gaming attention with Overwatch and now Alienation!
Hero-of-Time Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Damn PS4 just keeps taking all my gaming attention with Overwatch and now Alienation! You enjoying Alienation? I played it last year and loved it to bits. It's a fantastic game and i'm surprised i'm not seeing more people on my FL playing it, especially as it's a great co-op experience.

I keep saying that I'll start Overwatch, but then something else just takes my interest. The Last Guardian, Horizon, etc. Think I might need to just bite the bullet and start it up as soon as these reports are written.
Nolan Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Do do it flink. It's a trick, play Nier Automata or Persona 5 instead.
Rummy Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) You enjoying Alienation? I played it last year and loved it to bits. It's a fantastic game and i'm surprised i'm not seeing more people on my FL playing it, especially as it's a great co-op experience. I weirdly have and similar to yourself rather surprised I'm not seeing more folks playing it from the ps+ offerings! It's a strange game, in some ways feels basic/old but in others feels quite on point(online stuff etc). I played mostly solo first but now I'm jumping in with randoms on the missions(again, excellent online features even if not aruably low level). Played a bit with my ex's bro and a little with Marcamillian too. The weird thing is me and Marc get issues all over PSN and it refuses to let us 'see' each other - so we've done co-op with BrokeGod as host and him seeing both me and Marc but me and Marc only seeing him and not each other. Yet, given the rather good design of the online in the game, it isn't really to great detriment. I'm not sure we're getting all the XP we each should, and abilities that can go on whole squad don't work for us on each other, but again with the design it hasn't been of terrible detriment when we're all in party chat etc. I feel it's a game with an unusual but really good balance. Even mission lengths at 20-30 on occasion but with so much action and shit you don't notice(i tell people this is like an isometric shooter equivalent of a hack'n'slash) but even the fact you can drop early without penalty etc is great. The random events and stuff are also great and i also feel it has a great design in its progression so far. Really loving it tbh, tho not playing as much as i might because no one else is, but i can definitely see it being something I keep dipping into. It's one of those excellent games for when you're not sure what to play and you kinda feel like you can't be arsed with too much mentally demanding - yet really great despite that description's implication of it being entirely mindless, because it's really not! /Alienation I keep saying that I'll start Overwatch, but then something else just takes my interest. The Last Guardian, Horizon, etc. Think I might need to just bite the bullet and start it up as soon as these reports are written. The thing is, and i know it's easy to say this, there's something about Overwatch that i think you'll really grow to love if you have the time to put in. You've got the game already - just give it a little go! Maybe team up with Eenuh for a bit(wouldn't recommend playing with more than one experienced person to start with) and see how you get on. Plus it's also one of the best excuses for top N-Europe bants, both on and off console! Edited May 18, 2017 by Rummy
bob Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Couldn't be bothered to find the Dark Souls thread to put this in.
drahkon Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Always cracks me up In other news: [tweet]866964643243327493[/tweet] Bought it originally for my PS3 but never actually played it...looks like I'll get the PS4 version and give it a proper shot!
Ike Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) One for @Ike. Haha, cheers. EU release is 15th September. My Japanese copy shipped yesterday. Unfortunately not one my favourite Ys openings. Edited May 28, 2017 by Ike
