What PS4 Game Are You Most Thankful For? (Plat Cast Topic)

[Bushido7745785]

Hey gang! Hope you're all doing well and Happy Thanksgiving for those that are celebrating it! 

 

For those of you that don't know, @ChernobylNinja and I run a podcast titled, "Plat Cast" where we ask questions here and discuss your answers on the show. 

 

This week, in spirit of the holiday, we thought we would simply ask, "What PS4 game are you most thankful for?"

 

What game are you just so happy that came to the PS4? Is it a Sony 1st party game? A port from PC? A remake/remaster? Let us know! 

 

Make sure to check out our discord as well over at: https://t.co/ayqM2pr6eq?amp=1

 

Thanks folks! Have a wonderful rest of your week and an even better weekend!

I'm thankful Marvel's Spider-Man didn't turn out to be a turkey like a majority of other Spider-Man games released this decade 

[Helyx]

A game I keep coming back to all these years later: Diablo III

[exsentry]

Probably Divinity: Original SIn 2. Was already one of my favorite games and didn't even think I could beat Honour Mode. After an additional 150 hours later, got the platinum and ended up even loving the game more due to the challenge. ?

A plague tale and Death Stranding.  One shows how great AA games can be and the other one dared to be a black sheep. 

[Beyondthegrave07]

I'm thankful for Dark Cloud being brought from the PS2 to the PS4. My PS2s have stopped working for a while, and it was great to see one of my all-time favorite games come to a new console so I could play it again.

 

Happy for PS2 to PS4 in general.

I'm thankful for Horizon Zero Dawn.

I never knew anything about it when it first came out.

Come 2 years later and also thanks to Playstation Hits, I was able to pick up a copy for 20 bones.

 

My goodness...the game absolutely blew me away. I was instantly captivated by the visuals, music, combat and lore.

Even the way Guerilla Games meticulously constructed every main or side quest unequivocally rewards you

with valuable and interesting information that helps you gain a better understanding of that world.

(Let's face the truth; almost any side quest nowadays IS inevitably a fetch quest, but once done right and rewards the player

with good gear and useful information, then the given nature of the fetch quest is overlooked and enjoyed.)

 

I'm amazed by games such as HZD and Dying Light (game I'm currently playing)

where you're dropped into a vast open-world map and the game doesn't take a huge toll on your system.

I'm running them on my Pro and experienced little to no concerns whether the games are causing my system to overheat or not.

 

I loved God of War too but after getting the Father and Son Platinum, I had to take a break from that game as it was

literally making my system feel like a jet engine simulator.

Bloodborne, for introducing me to souls. By killing me over and over again.

[Avatar_Of_Battle]

Hmm. I"m going to go with a couple here.

 

Metro 2033 Redux. I'm very happy this was brought over from the XB360 to the PS4. The PS3 had the sequel Metro Last Light but I had never played it, but it was also in a remastered pack for the PS4 called Metro Redux. It introduced me to my favorite FPS series I've played so far.

 

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection. My dad and I love playing these games so having them remastered with new things to do for trophies gave us more to do in a series we've come to enjoy very much.

[Pirelli913]

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

 

Played it at launch (2015) and because I enjoyed it so much, I bought a gaming laptop (2019) to play the entire trilogy, which I bought on GOG. Despite the dated graphics and game play, the story of the first was really enjoyable and while I've played through most of the second, I've yet to finish it. Also started reading the books the games are based on.

 

All because of one game...

[Deluziion90]

Insert most PS4 exclusive big titles past 2 years and I'm thankful I've played those 

[Amonares]

Bloodborne. Got all base game + DLC trophies without a guide and I’m still playing it online with my friends from time to time. What a masterpiece.

[MrFudge]

In terms of most thankful, I’d have to say The Last Guardian. I’m still so glad that Ueda and his team managed to pull through all the difficulties they must have faced. Even sweeter is that it fulfilled the awesome potential it showed all those years ago, and was a more than worthy successor to the two games that came before it. 

 

Also shoutout to Rain World. A random indie I stumbled upon by myself, with poor reviews and next to no fanfare. Turned out to be one of my favourite games ever.

[TrophyChief]

Thankful for remasters of Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy, Spyro Trilogy, Medievil, and the remake of Resident Evil 2. I could go on with PS exclusives and other third party games I thoroughly enjoy.

[AffectatiousDonk]

I have 2 please.

 

Forza Horizon 4 - because it showed me just how great gaming can be

 

Horizon Zero Dawn - because it showed me it doesn't matter how bad things seem they can always get worse.

 

Happy Thanksgiving.

[EcoShifter]

I don't have an issue limiting my choices, but this is way too hard. There's at least 5 games I'm immensely thankful for having (2-3 of which have already been mentioned here), which I've shown my appreciation for by still playing them post platinum and having purchased them at full retail price.

 

Between the games already mentioned here and Dying Light being way more successful than the title i'm about to mention, my answer is the severely underrated and underappreciated Gravity Rush 2 (one of the five games, btw).

 

[Larzz]

I’m going to go with Bloodborne as well. 
It opened up a whole new genre for me, one I thought I didn’t like or wouldn’t be good at. 
If it wasn’t for Bloodborne I wouldn’t have played fantastic games like Nioh, Sekiro, Dark Souls 3 etc.....

 

[DivineDad89]

I have a few games I'm thankful for. 

 

The Witcher 3 wild hunt

Bloodborne 

Metro trilogy

Fallout 4

Hitman 2

 

My sister and I have played countless hours of Bloodborne over the years, which I feel brought us closer together as we had that in common. The witcher 3 is just an awesome game to experience. Metro redux and exodus is a great trilogy. Lots of hours in fallout 4 most building settlements but I always had fun. And the puzzle that is hitman 2. If there was one trilogy I would be super thankful for that could come to the ps4 that would be The Mass Effect Trilogy! Anyways Happy Thanksgiving! 

[dannyswfc9]

Im thankfull watchdogs and nfs (eventualy) learned there leason and ending up bringinh a decent game out after the previous one was awfull

[ZoutjeNL]

Dark Souls. The series which started it all. Dark souls made me appreciate more difficult games. You have to learn from your mistakes, it doesn't hold your hand which I hate these days in the gaming industry. Dark souls has have had such a big impact on all kind of games produced these days. I am gratefull from what From Software started. 

[Inuty]

Persona 5, for me one of the best JRPGs. I´m just glad they make a new game in the series. Only played Persona from Persona 3 on but for me it has the Pokemon Charme and a really smart Level System of the Persona types with the Bonding Events with School mates. Never saw this Kind of System in another game for that time when it was released

[Lumibella]

Bloodborne, because it made me a better player. 

[Copanele]

Honestly I will go with God of War. Thank you PS4 and Santa Monica for reviving Kratos and making his story compelling. GoW is one of PS4's flagship series so I am glad they showed him the proper respect and revival. 

[ArmoredSnowman]

Hmm, Spyro 1 and 2 remaster (couldn't care less about Spyro 3), as well as God of War, Spider-Man (haven't seen a good one since PS2-era), and, of course, Jedi Fallen Order. 

[Zenpai]

Persona 5. Were it not for Ookami, the PS4 would have my favorite game of all time.
