I Have A PS4...Now What? (Games/Software Recommendation Thread?)

[Tanis]

So, got one for Black Friday (YAY Wal-Mart credit!) and some recent gaming sales have added to my games collection.

I have the following:
Shadow of Mordor (GOTY) (Digital)
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
Divinity: Original Sin (Enhanced Edition)
DOOM (2016)
Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair
Fallout 4
Far Cry: Primal
Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster
Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition
Mortal Kombat XL
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: Storybook Edition
Ratchet & Clank
TES5: Skyrim: Special Edition
The Last Guardian (Soon enough!)
Uncharted 4: A Thief?s End
Valkyria Chronicles Remastered: Special Edition

=================
I've never been big on the digital games outside of PSN+ and really nice sales, my net sucks, but I'm willing to take a risk on digital only games if they're good enough.

What I REALLY wish I could find is a game like Project Sylpheed or Xenoblade Chronicles for the PS4.

 

[Saelune]

Tales of Zestiria maybe? I havent played it really, but its a tales game, and I havent heard anything bad about it.

Like Dynasty Warrior games? Cause Samurai Warriors 4 and related games are all on PS4.

Oh, hey uh...Bloodborne, duh.

And uh, its a digitial HD port of a PS2 game, but if you did not play it, I dont care. Dark Cloud 2. You buy that shit!

 

[Tanis]

I'll admit I AM kind of irked that my PS2 games I've bought for my PS3 don't transfer.
-The ones that are on the PS4 I mean.

Seems...off...to me that if it works on systems, and its been bought via PSN, it's not purchased on both systems.

Well, the PS2 on PS4 games are actually updated, not just straight ports. They all have trophies and stuff. *shrug*

 

[Evonisia]

"Until Dawn" is pretty damn good if you're into horror games and slasher films. It's a beautiful combination.

Okay, there's a chance it's not for you, but seriously, if you're at all interested in action-RPGs, gothic/cosmic horror, really well-made world design with environmental storytelling and subtle regular storytelling, then pick up Bloodborne.

 

[CaitSeith]

Final Fantasy XV. The combat is more action oriented and with freedom of movement (closer to Xenogears than Final Fantasy). The rest of the game is... weird (for a fantasy game). Everything looks mundane, like hanging out in a road trip with your friends; and then Final Fantasy stuff happens.

Also Bloodborne.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

Shadow of the Colossus remastered maybe? Apotheon?

 

[Igor-Rowan]

Bloodborne, obvs. Also Dark Souls III if you're into that stuff.

Gravity Rush, the Nathan Drake/God of War collection, The Last of Us remastered, Shadow of the Colossus+Ico collection some must have exclusives. Also Life is Strange.

Steep also just came out and apparently it's good, go figure.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Now what?!

I'd say play all that shit, you lucky dog!

How the hell are you even gonna get any sleep in the following month?

 

[Tanis]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I guess that makes sense, but not offering a 'you just bought this thing last year on the PS3 so here's a discount' seems shady to me.
I doubt I'll be buying any of them...AGAIN...without some kind of discount.

Bloodborne (!50 -'Murica Frek Ya!) is something down the line, as I'm planing on getting Dark Souls 3 first, so I can play with my IRL friends.

Final Fantasy XV. The combat is more action oriented and with freedom of movement (closer to Xenogears than Final Fantasy). The rest of the game is... weird (for a fantasy game). Everything looks mundane, like hanging out in a road trip with your friends; and then Final Fantasy stuff happens.

I'm going to wait to see if they do any crazy DLC or whatnot.
SE hasn't been my favorite company in many, many, years when it comes to (J)RPGs.
-Still, it does seem to be getting reviewed better than any of the FF13 turds.

Now what?!

How the hell are you even gonna get any sleep in the following month?

I've already beaten Shadow of Mordor (GOTY), I only got but it was on sale for 8USD so I figured 'why not'.
-It's a fun game to Trump around in.

FF10/Injustice/TES5 I got as a 15USD set, and I've played them all before but I figured it was too good a deal to pass up.
-Plus my FF10 save transferred from my PS3.

I only got MKXL because I have very...dedicated(?) IRL friends who love playing MK.
-I suck, so much.

Uncharted 4 came with the system, and I doubt I'll ever play it, unless my mood changes.
-I played the first three games of the series and didn't care for them too much.

Ratchet & Clank also came with the system, and it's not that bad...
But it also makes me want to play some of the better, early, games. XD

Doom (2016) is pretty damn good, I'd go so far as to say it's better than the previous one.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: Storybook Edition is pretty boss, just an added level of 'wow' to an already great game.
-I owed this, and VC BEFORE I owned a PS4 because I wanted the special editions. >_>

 

[Lufia Erim]

Bloodborn if you enjoy the demon souls/dark souls.

Guiltygear xRd-revelator- if you enjoy fighting games.

Destiny if you like co-op shooters ( keep in mind you would need the phone app to make it more enjoyable and join a guild)

World of final fantasy if you like Jrpgs

 

[sXeth]

There's not really a huge pile there you're missing, and a fair amount I'd guess you would've had on your previous console since a lot of it was cross-gen titles.

inFamous - Second Son would be a good one to pick up. Its probably pretty cheap by now too (Oddly, I don't think I've ever seen it in the PS store sales)

I think they both had last-gen versions, but Wolfenstein : New Order and Far Cry 4, since you seem to enjoy Doom and Primal.

Dishonored 2 is my main thing of the moment, but you might as well let it hit a price drop while you're catching up. Titanfall 2 is a solid buy as well, though if you're not into the MP side maybe not a priority.


For some of the digital only stuff- Salt & Sanctuary, Dust: An Elysian Tale, Banner Saga, Steamworld Heist, Rebel Galaxy, Rocket League.

Apotheon?

Unless they fixed it, Apotheon has some awful framerate problems in several of its levels. Which is pretty inexcusable on a console platform (and in a 2d engine that really shouldn't sturggle with much)

 

[Skatalite]

Besides obviously Bloodborne, if you haven't yet played the PS3 version of Journey definitely check that one out as well.

 

[Post Tenebrae Morte]

I got one recently too, I got Arkham Knight due to the pc port being lackluster and I also got Killzone: Shadow fall. Then, In the coming months we get Horizon: Zero Dawn, Nioh, Kingdom hearts: 2.5, Resident evil 7, nier, and so.

 

[SweetShark]

Don't have a PS4, but this is my list of maybes:

Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4
The Last of Us
God of War III
Ratchet & Clank (2016)
Until Dawn
Horizon: Zero Dawn
The Last of Us Part II
Death Stranding
Little Big Planet 3
Journey

The PS4 itself is another big maybe.

I had a PS3, but never played any of these remasters in their original form. Edit: I've also never played Crash Bandicoot, so maybe the remaster too.

Wait, did they put Journey on PS4 as well?
*search*
oh wow, they did! Good for PS4 owners.

Anyway I agree nearly with this List, but I want also add obviously Persona 5 as well.
