The Last of Us
Battlefield 4
God of War
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Bloodbourne
Alien Isolation



I bought PS4 a couple years after release, so i'm like you and got a whole bunch of classics backlogged that I bought cheap for $5-$20. Still haven't installed Witcher 3/GTA V

So Helblade is really good then? Worth a shot? I always overlooked it because no one really raved about it.

Right now I'm playing Dying Light. Good early ps4 game; while I wait for Days Gone, whixh comes out next week.

Also had gotten Shenmue 1 and 2 for ps4, the first one has some glaring flaws ( all the damn waiting), but I've read they improve a lot with the second. Interesting game so far, dated though.

Hellblade is the best indy game i've played, it's practically AAA. Very dark and morbid story, nothing else comparible to it narrative wise.

Mechanics and game play are a similar to GOW puzzle solving and Soulsbourne fighting. Check out some walkthroughs

Not a super long game, but well worth it for $20 or when it's on sale

I've never owned a console, strictly a PC gamer. And Apple and Commodore PET before that. In no particular order:

Half-Life
Doom
Master of Orion
GTA: Vice City
X-COM (original)
Borderlands
Deus Ex
Portal
Team Fortress 2
Civ 3

Probably a ton I've forgotten.

GTA 3, 4 and 5 (a grand trilogy of sorts; VC and SA were like goofy, gimmicky spinoffs)
Castlevania 1, 2 and 3
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
NBA Jam
Hot Shots Golf
RDR2 (the greatest game ever)
WcW vs NWO (the Japanese version was even better)

The way I gauge a game is how bummed I get when it ends because of how enjoyable it was, like a movie you just never want to end.

[B]My Top 3[/B]

-Metal Gear Solid
-The Last of us
-God of War


I like older 90's games when I was younger but lets face it, when you go back n play em not many can touch the immersion we get from titles today

Call of Duty
Medal of honor
Rome Total War

My top 10

1. Witcher 3
2. Dragon Age Origins
3. Pokémon Series
4. Telltale The Walking Dead (Season 1)
5. Borderlands 2
6. God of War
7. Spiderman (PS1)
8. The Last of Us
9. GTA V
10. AC 2

Honourable mentions

NBA 2k16 (GOAT sports game)
COD Black Ops 1 (GOAT FPS)
Ghost's of Tsushima (would be top 10 but I haven't finished it yet)

[QUOTE]World of Warcraft (sixteen years strong)[/QUOTE]

WoW is awesome but too addicting... you'll end up playing no other games.

[QUOTE=Manny98;14265839]I wish they'd remake the entire Metal Gear series for the PS5 I never got the opportunity to play those games, I only played Metal Gear Rising Revengence which is a incredibly underrated hack and slash game btw[/QUOTE]
Metal Gear Solid (1998) was just a different beast than all other PS1 games of that era

It wasn't the first true stealth game, but it was by far the best stealth game ever made at the time. It was Hideo Kojima's homerun

There was no hyper realistic games that let you go from 3rd person to 1st person binoculars like Metal Gear. No cutscenes like that, no deep lored out stories.

I played Metal Gear and MGS3 on PSNow, it's kinda rough because it's outdated.

They WILL Remake Metal Gear no doubt, lots of rumors Bluepoint is already cooking up that and Konami also let a sub party do Silent Hill remake.

WoW :bowdown:

Hi everyone, my name is Semm, my favorite game is Need for Speed ​​but I also prefer Call of Duty.

Mass effect series and or carina of time are my two faves

[QUOTE=Gohan;14288587]Mass effect series and [SIZE=7][I][B][U]or carina of time[/U][/B][/I][/SIZE] are my two faves[/QUOTE]

:cheers:

I also love to gamble, especially, I like the Canadian site where I learned about the game of video poker [URL="https://casinocanada.com/games/video-poker/"]https://casinocanada.com/games/video-poker/[/URL] studied information about the best sites for playing video poker for real money and decided to give it a try while I like it.

I love to play online games and among that, I liked to play casinos at [URL="https://freebonus.co/category/free-spins"]https://freebonus.co/category/free-spins[/URL]. It is safe and secure for playing.

Modern games are technically and graphically far superior of course—but I find they tend to lack personality. They all seem to be for angst-ridden brooding teenagers.

Jade empire should get more mentions the most underrated game of all time with an amazing story

Sekiro, Bloodbourne, Demon Souls, Dark Souls series. Have beaten a few of those multiple times.

World of Warcraft dominated my college years.

Did Warcraft 3 and Dota, LoL thing too. Mobas are solid, but they're such a trap. You set aside a saturday to play with some friends or to climb and you wonder where the day went, so I had to stop.

I remember beating Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy 6 and thinking those were the greatest games ever, but I was also like 10years old and expectations were shit back then.

This man knows whatsup. Honestly the Fromsoft games have ruined most other games for me. I've just been replaying those.

I'm pretty stoked for Elden Ring coming out. I try not to let myself get too hyped for games anymore, but I can't help it with this one.

Fromsoft has the best bosses bar none:

Lady Maria from Bloodborne, Isshin the glock saint, Slave Knight Gael, Artorious. The pvp is as good as it gets for a non-shooter too.

Speaking of pvp been meaning to try For Honor, but can't get enough of my friends on board for that one.

Hell yeah, I'd throw in the Owl Father (both Owl fights really) and Orphan of Kos and that'd round out the best ones. I just recently beat Dark Souls 2. The only one I haven't played is Demons Souls; I want to play the original.

That new PVP game Chilvalry looks good, a lot of For Honor fans swear by it. Give it a look.
