The PS4 thread

[9 to 5]

I earnt a bunch of Amazon vouchers this week for discussing Brexit, so, what games should I have on the PS4 already and why?

[Walker]

A friend of mine has convinced me to buy Overwatch but I'm still wary that he is the only one I know who plays it. Plus, it is still quite expensive so I'll probably wait anyway.

[9 to 5]

Overwatch seems loved, but it doesn't interest me at all.

[Walker]

I was worried that it is just a shooter, but my friend was explaining that it is more about teamwork and it is possible to be the highest scoring player in a game without actually killing anybody. That made it sound a lot better to me. The games are more along the lines of King of the Hill/Capture the Flag sort of deals as well, so not just most kills wins.

I generally hate those kind of games but Overwatch is actually pretty fun and unlike Call of Duty or anything like that. Plus I mean you can play as a Gorilla so theres that  

[Benji]

If I were to get Overwatch it would be on PC. No point to me personally getting a game like that on console.

[Stevie B]

Tricky Towers is the greatest free game PS4 has ever released. 

@Cymbols loved it and @9 to 5 thought it was better than Road Dogg.

So it's the video game equivalent of Billy Gunn?

You are a bad person.

[Cymbols]

It wasn't terrible. At first.

I haven't even downloaded it yet. Better or worse than TTR?

[9 to 5]

Much, much better.

I've caved and bought No Man's Sky.

I hope you dig it.  The first few minutes can be a little daunting (and the inventory can be frustratingly small at first), but I am loving this game thus far.

[Draevyn]

After Rockstar made an awesome game like Red Dead Redemption based on the western times. I think they should try their hand at a game based on Game Of Thrones but with an original story. Monolith could also probably do a decent job at one of these after they did Shadows of Mordor.

[9 to 5]

Which of these games should I get or not and why, faithful posters:

7 days to die, The Division, Star Wars Battlefront, Dying Light, Rainbow Six Siege, Tomb Raider, WWE 2k16, Dead Island or Alien Isolation.

Or should I just stick my vouchers on some game yet to come out.

[Benji]

Tomb Raider as in the reboot one? I liked it, but it's very much similar to Uncharted in gameplay (and vica versa, obviously), so maybe not for you.

Avoid Dead Island, that game was a massive let down, and its weapon fixing mechanics are game breakingly shit.

Leave WWE 2K16 and get 2K17 like I probably will!

Division was kind of shit, and apparently is also now broken, so avoid that.

@ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster will be able to answer if Alien Isolation is worth it.

The rest I don't know about.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I only have Alien Isolation on PS3 but it's LUSH. Pretty much the only game that actually makes me feel scared and not just a bit jumpy. Looks great, brilliant gameplay, pacing, plot, sense of aloneness, very faithful to Alien which is my favourite of the film series anyway.

[Ruki]

Stay away from The Division.
