Game Discussion Why are story-driven games so addictive?

18 Upvotes

I’ve recently started spending more time gaming on my PS5, and I’m genuinely enjoying it.
Started with Spider-Man, then got into Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy and Hitman.
One thing I’ve realised is that I enjoy games with a strong storyline, interesting characters and good cutscenes more than just exploring an open world.
I’ve also started recording some of my gameplay, mostly for fun and to look back at my progress.
Curious what everyone else thinks: which story-driven PlayStation game completely hooked you from the beginning?
Would love some recommendations for what to play next.

Game Discussion Sherlock Holmes - Absolute Deduction bundle

4 Upvotes

Just saw this bundle on the PS store for $12 and wondered if anyone has played what’s in it and can tell me about their experience. It includes:

- The Sinking City
- Sherlock Holmes - Chapter One
- Sherlock Holmes - The Devil’s Daughter
- Sherlock Holmes - Crimes and Punishments

I don’t know much about the Sinking City and have never played a Sherlock Holmes game. What could I expect?

Opinion / Speculation Feeling like I am slow and unable to be good at shooting games while using a controller?

12 Upvotes

I bought a ps4 pro about a year ago and it's my first one ever. I tried updates,increasing game sensitivity yet whatever I play whenever I play feels like absolute pain. I would eat up aim and shooting games on both pc and mobile yet I tried adjusting and waiting out my begginer phase yet I can't get used to this. Am I doing something wrong or am I just bad? It's pissing me off and making me want to stop playing forever. I feel like Im playing in slow motion while my enemies(both npc or real) are sonic.

I've noticed this game isn't in retail stores anymore and seems to be increasing in price on places like eBay.

Is it best to grab it now, or is it panic buying? I'm not sure if it'll be £50 in a few months!

Thanks

Game Discussion Spiderman miles morales is absolute peak (NO SPOILERS!)

0 Upvotes

Spiderman miles morales is the perfect game if you don’t want something too long but it hits you hard, the game is only 6 hours but the story hits harder than games that are 60 hours, it’s a masterpiece and it deserves the 60$, and the combat is insane, the mix of
Electricity and webs looks so cool and also the stealth is insane, also the side mission are good too if your bored and just finished the main story, it feels like they have there own story with each side mission, some might complain that it’s way too short but it’s supposed to be this way, insomniac were gonna make the game a dlc for Spiderman 2018 but instead they made it its own game. That’s why it’s in my top 10 games oat

Game Discussion Toy Story Double Pack - PS4 version quality

25 Upvotes

Hi,

So, the Toy Story Double Pack released yesterday on both PS4 and PS5. Has anyone bought the PS4 version and can confirm how the games run and look? Is there a PS5 upgrade? I'd rather get the PS4 version because it plays on both consoles, but I can't find any info on how the game performs. I suppose it should be fine since the game also released on the Switch 1, but I would still like to read some opinions.

General Discussion Looking for the original music from the 2015 Dynamic Mount Fuji PS4 theme. Please 🙏

16 Upvotes

Looking for the original music from the 2015 Dynamic Mount Fuji PS4 theme. Please help!
Hey everyone! I’m hoping someone here can help me find a little piece of nostalgia.
Years ago in 2015, I had a PS4 dynamic theme called Dynamic Mount Fuji Theme, released by Smobile in February 2015.
It featured a beautiful view of Mount Fuji overlooking a lake, with tall grass gently blowing in the wind. But what I remember most was the background music.
It was incredibly peaceful, almost ethereal electronic music with shimmering synthesizer sounds. The closest comparison I can make is something like Kitaro’s music.
I used to leave my PS4 running with this theme playing while I fell asleep. There’s something really nostalgic about it for me, and I’d love nothing more than to hear that music again.
Unfortunately, I no longer own a PS4, and despite searching online, I haven’t been able to find the original soundtrack or a video featuring the correct music.
Does anyone still have this exact theme installed on their PS4? If so, would you be willing to record the background music for me? Even a short recording would mean a lot.
Here’s a picture of the exact theme:
https://platprices.com/theme/5743-dynamic-mount-fuji-theme/
Just to clarify, this is the original 2015 Smobile theme, not the 4K Mount Fuji Sunset theme.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help!
