I did this thing too, got uncharted 4 (cos either that or nhl something something were free and I donāt even know what a hockey is) and blood borne cos it was cheap
No rot3k yet bc Iām waiting for the dead of winter and hopefully one more price drop
Add me on PlayStation battlenet or whatever the hell it is called to explain to me what it is for, also this gen gaming in general bc I donāt get it at all
My name is peach_kid bc all the good names were taken. Iām a little ę”å¤Ŗé qtbb
Uncharted is ok, it feels a bit like Indiana jones: the ride: the video game: off brand knockoff edition, and Iām fine with that. The game seems easy af but Iām still bad at it so I feel like I have to learn 2 b good on a ps controller again before I even attempt bloodborne

Bloodborne isnāt so bad itās just whether you choose to use the lock-on or not be ready to get comfortable with dodge-rolling. If thatās already how you play a Souls game then youāre basically ready for BB.

I, too, just finally got a PS4 (slim, do not laugh, there are reasons). Iāve been playing mostly Bloodborne, but also God Eater (I need that MH-like, and got sick of playing on PSTV - luckily my saved game transferred right over). Iām not an xbox fella so I am playing Dead Rising 1 for the first time, too. Also, the DQ Builders demo is awesome! Try it maybe.
what i like about bb lock-on is that there are situations where itās actually better not to use it. I used it 100% of the time in Dark Souls 1 and 2.
bb is the game where i learned how to play without lock on, and now i play without it most of the time! thatās my bloodborne story (i still need to finish the chalice dungeons, ugh).
bb and demonās are the coolest souls games. their scope is nice and tight and they seem to have the freshest ideas, both in their worlds and in mechanics.

I picked up a PS4 on black Friday. It came with uncharted 4 and I bought Dragon Quest Builders. I pre-ordered The Last Guardian on Amazon already because you save some money with Prime. Any PS Store recomendations?
90% of the bosses in ds2 are significantly easier when not locking on! the dlc bosses in particularly will effortlessly track you when locked on but whiff when no-locking
Until Dawn is a good take on the Telltale movie-game. Itās a worthwhile Redbox rental or sub-$10 purchase.
Bloodborne is the PS4 game if you liked an iota of Dark Souls.
Is this your first machine in this generation of consoles? Most recommendations beyond those two are not exclusive.

Yup, this is my first and probably only console of this generation.
Hmm what kind of games do you like? The Witcher 3 is my go-to game that āfeelsā ānext-genā because itās staggering in terms of volume and bespoke quality, but not necessarily a universal recommendation because itās maybe literally a hundred hours long and an RPG.

you just missed a huge sale though just getting the first levels is still really cheap and well worth it
also: the witness, just cause 3, furi
I also got a PS4 but itās looking pretty much like itās gonna be for bloodborne and last guardian, then sit on a shelf until persona 5. which isnāt the worst thing, I guess. Iāll probably get rez out of a sense of obligation.

I am still plugging away at The Witness and I am loving it.
Hyper Light Drifter is definitely worth getting as well
I have the witness on my computer, and I like it more in theory than I do actually playing it.
Invisible Inc. is apparently one of the PS+ games for December, SB is a fan of that game I believe.
it is one of the only turn based strategy games of recent years to go for tight rather than maximalist and it absolutely nails it, solves a few longstanding problems with the genre too. I wouldnāt necessarily play it on console (itās going to do fine on almost any computer) but itās a much more significant achievement than new-xcom and all around great.
the expansion makes it just a tiny bit more maximalist and it doesnāt suffer for it, I assume thatās packed in to the playstation release
Iām glad that they ported Inside to PS4. Itās creative and surprising.
I got the new Doom game cheap last week, but I probably wonāt get around to trying it for a while since The Last Guardian is finally coming out and Iām still working through Just Cause 3. Just when it had started to feel a little repetitive (though never boring) I stumbled upon the mech segment.
Iām looking for some simple couch co op /versus PS4 games to play with a SO. I already know about Towerfall + Nidhogg.
Overcooked also looks lovely. Is there anything else?
I played Helldivers for like 30 hours with my last roomate, it was super awesome but its control scheme is honestly too complicated for non-nerds. Same thing with Spelunky
I tried Witcher 3 on PC and it didnt quite grab me. I may give it another shot later sometime.
I thought the game pretty much played itself. Limbo had much more difficult puzzles. Inside is interesting in setting and atmosphere only.
