Next game choice

[davek_964]

I finished Bloodborne (PS4) at the weekend which was a surprise. Didn't know I was close to the end but guess I have been playing it sporadically for about 6 months!

So, now I need to replace it and am debating which game should be next. I love the Demon / Dark shouls games so DS3 is definitely on the list. But they do tend to be quite hard work and I'm not sure I want to jump from Bloodborne into another 100+ hour epic.

I like the Uncharted games, although they are a tad linear - so Uncharted 4 is probably top of my list for the next game with DS3 after that.

However, I am also tempted by Life is Strange - I played Heavy Rain on PS3 and really loved it - it was like an interactive film and really quite addictive.

Opinions?

Fallout 4 or Skyrim for open world stuff.

Skyrim I played on PS3 and really enjoyed. Is the PS4 version the same thing rehashed or something new?

Fallout I had on PS3 and just didn't gel with it.

Racing games are tempting - I like them in theory but never seem to play them for any length of time. I bought something on the PS4 - can't even remember what! - and a steering wheel but it's probably been used less than an hour.

If you haven't already; I suggest the following:

Alien: Isolation
The Witcher 3
Shadow of Mordor

All games that have been out for 12 months, but are very good and on the 'must play' list. The added bonus is that they are all reasonably cheap and can be bought with all the DLC.

Ah, good point.

Witcher 3 I have - played it for quite a while but lost interest. However, alien isolation I also have and played it enough to see it was interesting but not really enough to get into it. Might try that again and give it a property go!

I played the demo of Life is Strange before and now it seems episode 1 is free. So going to try that - and if I like it the other episodes are only £3.99 each so some fairly light hearted entertainment for a few weeks.

I'm an occasional gamer - may go a month or two without even switching the PS4 on (particularly in summer) so having multiple games on the go doesn't really work for me.

I played episode 1 of Life is Strange last night. I was getting quite into it.... And then it finished. I admit I didn't spend as much time wandering around as I could have so it's partly my own fault - but it did seem surprisingly short!

Bloodborne DLC?

That is an option I hadn't thought of - but if I want more of the same, I think I'd switch to DS3. I preferred those over Bloodborne.

Completed episode 2 last night. Did more wandering around, and the 'main event' was a bit sad - but I found it less interesting than episode 1 for some reason. Although the plot thickens, I found I cared less about it.

May move on to DS3. I'll look up rise of the tomb raider, but have a feeling I had that on the PS3.

Well, decided that I wasn't fussed about episode 3 of Life is Strange - and picked up DS3 at the weekend instead.

Other than starting it just so it could get the update out of the way, I've not tried it yet - which kind of convinces me it was the right decision. Because I know that if I start it, I can say goodbye to entire evenings - and at the moment, I have other things to do!
