Gaming PlayStation 5

Finally started Yakuza: Like a dragon. I love how silly and also serious it is (Like all Yakuza games). So far prefer the brawling of the regular games over the turn based stuff though.
 
What are good in person co-op games that i can get on PS Plus (I have the full version)? My mate is coming over this weekend and would like to play a decent co-op.

Turn based gets better the more you progress, I assume you haven't unlocked job roles yet.

Think it'll be the same with me.

A way out is brill. Local coop and really good story. Not the most frantic experience but me and my mate loved it, very unique game that requires teamwork.

Diablo III is also really good local coop if you've not played that.

I haven't indeed. I generally love JRPG combat, but somehow the silly over the top brawling just fits this game a bit more. It might grow on me though.

I'm the opposite. Turned the combat down to easy in Zero because it was ruining my enjoyment - I'd rather steamroll it and enjoy the story (which is the main appeal of the series really).

I had it on easy from the start with there being eight games to go through more than anything (didn't stop me from doing 90h) but agree about the story being the main appeal.

I enjoyed the combat but overused the golden gun in the last six chapters. Turn based games are usually more of my jam but I 'fear' the change will feel jarring in Yakuza when I eventually get to LaD

I've never liked turn based combat. Which makes me skeptical over how much I'll enjoy Like a Dragon

Opposite indeed, I always play stuff on hard, because I can't enjoy games unless they also infuriate me for being too difficult.

If you like Yakuza for the combat, you won't like this I'd say. If you like it, because it's silly, but also with an amazing story and weird minigames, you'll like it just fine.

It Takes Two is a brilliant platformer. A Way Out mentioned earlier is by the same guys. There's also Overcooked and Moving Out, both games are basically incredibly fecking hectic. There's also the Borderlands games if you wanted something more shooty.

Had been busy for the last couple of weeks, but got a chance to play Returnal again today and finally cleared the third boss. I guess all I needed was some time away from it.

Generally speaking I think this is always best when you're stuck on a game.

Personally I feel I start getting impatient if an area or boss keeps killing me, which then leads to further mistakes as I start to rush.

Coming back with a clear head a while later usually sees me beat the thing that was giving me problems on the first try.

Played Yakuza like a dragon with out playing any of the series or knowing the lore. Feels very slow, but just played for about 30 odd mins, went in blind without any reviews. Mistook it to be a better version of GTA in Japan.

Yakuza is nothing like GTA :lol: If they're like any other game I suppose it's Shenmue, but with a lot of less serious side content.

Not played it but Sleeping Dogs is supposed to be the GTA style game set in China.

Yakuza's completely different (or it was in zero at least)

:lol: Yeah, maybe since i never played the previous ones, i might get used to the combat. Thanks!

Thanks, will give it a look now.
 
I like Sleeping Dogs (my first ever platinum, actually). Definitely worth a go, imo.

Not just in a game, but in life too.

Also, I now cleared the fourth biome on the first attempt. It's p!ss easy after the third one.

The game just keeps getting easier from that point i'd say. You'll be back to the 3rd biome at a later point and you'll sail through with it being piss easy. The difficulty curve is just backwards with it starting rock hard and gradually getting easier.
 
I've just played Toem the free ps plus game actually enjoyed it.

Very short and Easy to play, kept my attention though and I got platinum trophy too it was very easy.
 
One of the best games ever IMO. I'm not sure how far you are but trust me it gets better.
Not too far I guess but I already know you’re right. It is just getting better. Totally bewitched by the soundtrack too, it’s like a character of its own.

Full weekend of it this weekend, no commitments and sh*t weather, perfect gaming conditions!

I'm jealous. I haven't had a weekend like that in years.
 
Itching to play Witcher 3 again but I want to wait for the next gen upgrade. It's CD Project Red- so i'll believe it when I see it- but it's still expected for this year according to them :drool:

Finished wild hunt, waiting for the update myself to play the DLC'S

On Ghost of turshima right now, it's a really good game.

List of games to play is growing, not even looked at Eldon rings

Do you have to play Nier and the other two (abstract sounding) Drakenguard games to get the full experience or are you able to enjoy the games for what they are?

I always find it hard to play through a game/ read a book or watch something if there is backstory and lore I am missing out on. :(

I bought this on sale because of the update, and cant start it until they release it. So annoying :lol:
