Sony PS4 #11: "Oh crap" - Nathan Drake

[Jovavic]

Have you not played anything since the n64 or is that the last one you owned? If you missed out on series like Uncharted, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro, those are some of the remastered series that you can get for incredible value.

Only PC games, and 2-3 games for the switch. The Uncharted series is on my list for things to play start to finish definitely.

I'm patiently waiting to see what kind of sales come out for games for Black Friday. I just bought the PS4 (first console since N64) and I'm looking to grab:

Nier Automata
God of War
Spiderman
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Uncharted 4
The Last of Us: Remastered
Final Fantasy XV

Pretty much in that order. Any must-haves I have missed?

Bloodborne, Nioh, Yakuza.

 

[542365]

Ohh I definitely second Nioh. I had a lot of fun with that one. Dark Souls type vibe, but I liked the combat better.

As a big Final Fantasy fan I can comfortably say that this game is not a must have.

Really? That's disappointing. Is it worth picking up for $15? I played the demo on PC, but it gave my PC fits.

Yeah, for that price I'd say it's worth getting. It's very pretty and features a large open world, but the story is poor (I can barely recall what it was about truth be told) and the combat system was blah (magic was pretty much only included as an after-thought, despite being a massive part of every FF game I ever played, and summons, while impressive, happened to me - you have far less control over them than in games past - about 5 times in my entire playthrough). It just didn't have that FF "feel" for me.

I'm told that the Royal Edition, with all the DLC story and what not included, makes the game much better... but I didn't get it and spending more of my money on FFXV is not in my future.

$15 though? Go for it.

 

[S E P H]

Man, that's a weak Black Friday from Sony.

My bro got me Final Fantasy XII for Christmas and even though I haven't touched it too much since I got other games to play, that's the FF game I would recommend. It's voted as one of the best via critics and fans @Nizdizzle

E: They remade a version for the PS4 because I believe it was originally a PS3 game.

 

[Jovavic]

Final Fantasy XII is a PS2 game. 15 bucks for the newest one is good, I'll echo the other poster that said the story is poor and the combat is meh. Magic and summons are almost nonexistent.

- God of War is $29.99 right now at Wal-mart
- Spider-Man I think is on clearance at Costco for 49.99 right now, but I think most copies are sold. I'm not sure if it'll be discounted for Black Friday, but even if it isn't, you should be able to get one from Kijiji or something once the Slim PS4 with Spider-Man sale goes live

I just completed Spider-Man a week and half ago and it is a must play if you are a Spidey fan (even if you're not it's a must play tbh). You can really see the love the developers put into it.

The Last of Us is a generational game. Play it as soon as you can. Uncharted 4 is fantastic as well.

Also, if you don't mind interactive games, check out Until Dawn and Detroit. I haven't played Detroit, but Until Dawn was fun. Only played it once, but it was a very intriguing and unique game.

What type of games do you like and since you stated the PS4 is your first console in a long time, I'm wondering if you've played a lot of multiplats on your PC?

Big fan of RPGs, most multiplatforms I've probably played (Witcher Franchise, Dragon Ages, Mass Effect, Fallout...etc). My plan was to swing by both Costco and Walmart for both deals you mentioned. Don't imagine they'll be cheaper than that during black friday, although I don't imagine Costco will have any copies left at $50 at this point.

 

[Warden of the North]

Walmart Canada has a pile of games on for $29 as an early black friday sale

I picked up God of War and Far Cry 5 today

 

[sa cyred]

PlayStation pulling out of E3 for 2019. Speculation is due to a PS4 reveal for 2020.

Many writers are thinking this is the beginning of the end for E3.

Damn, you serious? I guess I'm going shopping tomorrow

Yes. You can check particular game prices on the website

Farcry 5 is also $30 on Amazon

I think most would recommend Bloodborne and Persona 5 as great exclusive RPGs. I own both, but haven't played either lol. Persona 5 is definitely a game that looks really unique though. I don't really get it, but the social aspect of it looks really cool. It has gotten unreal praise from both critics and regular gamers. Keep an eye out for Sony's digital sales. You might get a good deal on it.

Check out The Last Guardian and especially, Shadow of the Colossus as well.

I know you said you don't like horror games, but Until Dawn is worth checking out. It's not nearly as frightening as Alien Isolation, fwiw. It's more like a slasher movie. And like I said in my previous post, if you have any interest in an interactive type game, check out Detroit's gameplay. Heavy Rain too.

Costco probably won't have copies of Spider-Man, but you should be able to score a good deal locally, if you don't mind going that route.

 

[syz]

If you've ever seen a movie before you can ignore anything David Cage has ever done, tbh.

Tangentially, looks like there's going to be some good deals on PSVR out there... I'm still not going to get one, but it seems like now would be "the time" after Tetris Effect and Astro Bot.

Nah, it's a good game that I am still in the process of beating (delayed it due to Destiny 2 and RDRII), but not even close of being a generational game. That's reserved for Horizon: Zero Dawn which is more of a freedom game with a fantastic world and amazing storyline. The Last of Us has terrible controls, suffers same problems of Rockstar games in very strict movement controls, has the same rehashed action sequences, and anything else along these lines. It's still amazing if you love that "movie" sort of game and is a must buy for the Playstation console, but not sure I would want to get the second one until I know they improve these problems I have with it.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

The Last of Us is a generational game.

Just not this generation's game. An absolute must play in my book regardless.

I would consider that a fair assessment, but I don't think it has aged well in terms of gameplay.

 

[Belieber]

I have wanted to play Batman return to Arkham for a few years, just got it on PS Store for $7. Incredible value for two full length games.

Last of Us is $5 on there since you guys are talking about it.

I disagree. Like @Big McLargehuge said, I don't think it's fair to compare a game originally released on 2013 PS3 release to a 2017 PS4 release. At the time, The Last of Us, was one of the absolute best gaming experiences I ever had.

I disagree with it having terrible controls (what bothered you about it?) and I don't remember the game having "strict" movement controls or character movement (though it's been a long time since I've played it), although I guess I'm lenient in that regard since I didn't have a problem with GTA 5 either. Now, RDR1, on the other hand...

The story was obviously extremely well written, but even the gameplay was just amazing to me.

 

[Mitchy]

Some really good deals on the PS Store right now as part of their Black Friday sale.

All prices in Canadian Dollars:

- God of War is 27.49
- Detroit is 27.49
- Persona 5 is 26.79
- Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is 22.49
- And like @Belieber mentioned, TLOU Remastered and Batman Return to Arkham, are 5.99 and 7.49 respectively

12 month PS Plus membership is 49.99 as well. Definitely will cop that. Was waiting for a good deal on that.

Remember, no tax on the PS Store.

Got NHL19 for $40. Haven’t played one in several years.

First impression is holy shit this production value is off the charts second impression is official Hockey Canada unis! Sweet!!

Probably wouldn’t have bought it if playing as the Leafs wasn’t such a fun prospect.
