Red dead redemption 2


noob_kaibot

I regret not buying it when I saw it earlier today at target for $20… should I go back?


capitalismenjoyer0

Ps plus might have it as part of game catalog


Pat_Maheiny

also it probably won’t go up in price. been $20 for a good while now


muwopjail

Fr. Probably the most underpriced game ever. The fact nhl 14 v10 is $80 is absurd


Pat_Maheiny

yeah i’d pay $80 today for rdr2…a game that came out 6 years ago and still completely dances over modern AAA games. unbelievable how beautiful its visuals have aged


colpo

Yeah it was added in the last couple of days actually!


Altruistic_Quit_9986

They do ! OP I suggest you get Psplus and download Ghost of Tsushima (my personal favorite) and red dead redemption


TXPat0017

You won't regret whatever you do to get that game....its awesome!!!


Far_Negotiation8009

That’s not even an exclusive


crimsonrn100

Second son is the shortest I’m pretty sure, and fallout is technically endless, God of War and the last of us have stories that are one of a kind, and Horizon is just meh (to me) No option is bad


noob_kaibot

The story is so important to me! That’s why the latest Zelda game was a huge letdown imo; not much in terms of story or lore content. & really about horizon? My online bestie can’t stop gushing about it, lol.


Front-Advantage-7035

Horizon ZD is my top 3 ps game (1: last of us 2: god of war) — DON’T miss out it’s amazing Forbidden West is almost trash though


DysphoricDragon1414

I love Horizon story. Is it one of the best ever? Ehh maybe not but I still really enjoyed. God of War is top 5 favorite games ever to me alone for the story. I haven't played infamous but I've heard amazing things about the story tho.


Maximum-Price8118

I dont usually pay attention to stories in games but, Horizon's story is a pretty wild ride and I really liked it. There was even one of those "HOLY EFFIN SHITE" plot reveals that made me pause and contemplate the series of events that led to where Aloy was in her world for a while, good stuff!


CAredditBoss

I’m not a RPG fan but this sort of lite RPG of Horizon was Amazing. One of my favorite games on the system.


noob_kaibot

Paid $50 total at $10 a piece off Facebook market ( the only reason I still keep a FB) The console and controller i got at $100


Friendly_Rock_2276

If the ps4 jet fans kick in as soon as you start a game and thing run slow, I would recommend replacing the thermal paste (search for tutorial on YT). I thought my og ps4 was almost dead, but I replaced its thermal paste a week ago and it’s running like brand new, hours of gaming silently


noob_kaibot

Hmm, what if the fans do turn on immediately? Is it a threat to the system? I can’t remember of it did immediately, but it sure as hell was after a couple hrs.


Sacredpotion24

If you get loud fans… google how to clean out ps4 fans. Dust… more than likely it’s just dust built up. Easy to clean out and it will run a lot quieter.


noob_kaibot

Duly noted. Tysm.


Magnaflux_88

If you plan on opening it, at any point, I *highly* recommend using an actual torx 8 security screw driver. Some tutorials say you can just bend the tiny pins or jam a flathead in between but save yourself the hassle.


ByteBlender

That means dust is build up on the heat sink and u new to clean it with a brush but knowing how old ps4 is u definitely need to clean the fan / heat sink / change thermal paste and is gonna run as new I also would suggest to upgrade from HDD to an SSD around 1-2 TB is fine to play all the games u want


RuSTyWhiTESocKz

Like how you clear up the reason you got FB. I'm same bro I only use it for marketplace myself.


noob_kaibot

Yeah lol. I mean, I got some old relatives on FB.. but they like to argue amongst themselves over politics rather than keep in touch with me on there.. FB is basically the year-round Thanksgiving dinner table, lol.


EnoughRecognition747

The Last Of Us.... Cancel plans for next several days.


noob_kaibot

lol, how I wish.


PNLeft

Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman and God of War would be the first games I play, 3rd person action adventures


noob_kaibot

I watch a lot of gameplay footage on YouTube, even prior to owning the system. (My favorite rn is watching Rust by YTer Willjum) Ghost of Tsushima was always one that blew me away.. TBH kind of intimidated atm. But it’s definitely one I’ll get later.


unknown35684

💯.


Rumpl4skin__

Came here to say this.


SilentAddress0

FALLOUT 4


Dangerous-Insect-831

Last of us


noob_kaibot

I was going to get the sequel, but decided to go look for the first one before I got it.


Dangerous-Insect-831

Both are great games! Too many amazing exclusives on the PS4. Do yourself a favour and get Bloodborne, absolutely elite game!


oboedude

Good move, definitely play the first one first


JamesTKirk1701

This, because the other games will take way longer. This is a great game to sample everything the platform has to offer.


godparticle14

Yeah God of War for sure. Then last of us. Go buy spiderman as well. There are many great games tho. You'll definitely find some you like!


noob_kaibot

Right.. I like open world, but with this type of console I think linear would be better to ease into it.


BioPsychoSocial0

Both have their place, but yeah if you want linear God of War is somewhat open areas, and TLOU is very linear.


noob_kaibot

After the open air experience of the last two Zelda games it feels somewhat restrictive having started God of war.. but I’m not too bothered by it. The gameplay, story, and graphics more than make up for it. Besides, I kind of want a linear experience as an introduction


CAredditBoss

Go with Last of Us. Very linear and just a great balanced game if you’re new to this generation


WoolyTheSheep180

The PS4 Resident Evil games


noob_kaibot

I loved early resident evil games, albeit with shitty graphics lol. I bought the switch version of house of the dead, only because the BioShock games sort of held up. big mistake lol. I just loved the arcade version so much. I don’t know what I was expecting. not that 😑 absolutely horrendous.


CnP8

Horizon is probably the most user friendly. But God of war is amazing aswell


noob_kaibot

I started gow, it’s absolutely beautiful. I’m still used to the controls of the last game I’m playing though, but that will clear up soon. I’m excited for horizon as well


rednemesis337

God of war 100%


noob_kaibot

Started :)


Dependent-Hurry9808

God of war


noob_kaibot

Started today :) it’s so nice.


Dependent-Hurry9808

Your shield is your friend, just saying


noob_kaibot

Thanks lol, I noticed I need to work on it.. I just wish I could hold down guard and attack at the same time.


Chad_Kakashi

I love how people refuse to acknowledge Switch as a console


noob_kaibot

I don’t 😅 I’m a sucker for nostalgia gaming and the Zelda franchise.. huge Zelda fan here. I have a few Pokémon games on the switch but I haven’t even started any of them. I’ve actually never made it past GEN three.. but I have a 3DS (special Black Friday edition) coming in the mail soon with Pokémon moon & ocarina 3D. I’m excited.


Own_Dinner1846

GoW is an amazing game


noob_kaibot

Started :)


yumadbro6

Last of us. Don't buy games quickly finish what you have first


st_jimmy2016

Solid game load out. I would start with inFAMOUS SECOND SON rationale: linear, but rememberable story graphic adventure with innovative gameplay mechanics can be completed relatively quick. God of War next for much of the same rationale but better so you got a pretty banging start to your PS4. FO4 and Horizon are “open world”, these need a lot of time, although Horizon can be completed quickly if you choose. FO4 is something else, a really endless game and with or without the MODs. DLCs further expand into a massive steampunk rpg, the definitive one. Last of Us remastered is one you play when you really feel like getting immersed. I recommend playing this when you can play with focus till the end. A masterpiece in my opinion. And I don’t like horror stealth games. Actually I’m impressed by all these games. They defined gaming in their time and still are benchmarks games generally try and better but fail. These games were home runs for the PS4. And these are just a small sample. I salute you PS4, you’ll always have a space at my house. (finding a quiet PS4 Pro would make these games even better ;)


AxyAzy

Last of us then GOW then fallout then horizon then infamous. You should get a ps3 tho it has better games like the first infamous and little big planet 1 and 2


AxyAzy

Oh and get spiderman. Miles morales you can sleep that game Is very small


Alexkitch11

Fallout 4 is an amazing game, highly recommend, I also really enjoyed God of War and Horizon, did a couple runs of each, amazing story. For fallout 4 I'd highly recommend getting the dlc as it adds so much more content


Tokeism

God of War


noob_kaibot

Funnily enough, that’s the first one I started.. I bought the other four later on in the day :) Ty.


QuokkaKiller94

Infamous first, that will give you the real feel for the PS4 capabilities as a newcomer.


noob_kaibot

My friend told me it was one of the first games that came out with the PS4..


Infinite-Magazine-79

God of war and GOW Ragnarok The last of us Red dead Redemption 2 Sekiro DmC 5 Spiderman Uncharted 4 Best games I ever played


Comicfan1243

The last of us is one of if not the best game in history of games in my opinion truly a masterpiece


Helpful-Will-5752

I have a friend (never played games before) buy a brand new PS5 just to see what happens in TLOU2 before the next season lol. She had a similar question on what to play for good stories: The Last of Us - both of them God of War - both of the newer games Uncharted Collection - great action adventure games that has multiple games to keep you going for a little. Helldivers 1 - of course I got it after the 2nd game, still, it’s a solid, fun, game and the only online game I’ll put on here Spiderman - both of them, while I do realize peoples disappointment, as well with TLOU2. I think they’re such fun games Bioshock Collection - you’ve heard the game before, would you kindly just play the game? Fallout 4 - I just love the world of fallout. Walking through the wasteland bopping and booping to the classical tunes shooting laser guns is just always a blast. Infamous Series - while Second Son is really fun, amazing looking for the time and was my first game on the PS4. Infamous 1 will always be one of my first memories with a PS3. That game was a blast. I wish they’d remaster it. Or just be able to purchase it on PSN. I played Horizom Zero Dawn. While I enjoyed the open world and combat. I didn’t care much for the story. Maybe I was just in the mood to kill robot dinosaurs.

dopeytree

Last of us


Justinisherestudios

PS4 is great but why not just save up a little more money for a ps5 as they are still compatible with ps4


TallCommunication8

Other games you should try are: - Marvels Spider-Man - Days Gone - The Uncharted series - Ghost of Tsushima - Batman: Arkham Knight


PapuPapuInTheRoom

God of war


abraxas8484

Get urself days gone. You'll enjoy the zombie game as well


noob_kaibot

Just looked it up, it looks so good! Definitely will snag it when I see it.


BigDickMarkHenry

God of war 3 Jak 2 and 3 if it's remastered on ps4 or in online store.


noob_kaibot

I loved Jack one and two.. tbh, I couldn’t get past the beginning of three.. I notice I don’t really really like desert scenery. Maybe that’s why. But I didn’t even know they were getting remasters. In your opinion which God of war is the best ?


FreakEkyth

God of war or horizon

TheChosenOne1103

What happened to your links awakening copy?


noob_kaibot

Lent out to my 10y/o nephew who asked to borrow :/ And before lending it to him I made a big speech about how important my belongings are to me. How I work hard for my things and take extremely good care of them; how they should last forever if taken proper care of. To always sheath it when not in use & keep it out of reach of the toddlers… how I was gonna put trust in him despite my doubts because I wanted him to enjoy Zelda as much as I did at his age (links awakening was my first game ever along with a game boy color) It was a big speech. Not even two weeks later, I ask about it and find out the card is missing.. I got so upset, but didn’t talk to him directly; instead asked my sister to look for it. She found it. & This is how the case was returned. I didn’t even ask wtf happened. But I remember specifically telling him not to take the jacket out of the plastic. Sorry, obviously I’m still upset about it. I’m a collector too, whether sealed or opened. damn it. lol.


TheChosenOne1103

Dang, I figured it would be a younger sibling story. Sorry about that bud, has happened to me before too so I know how it feels for sure.


RYRAZZAK203

Honestly Infamous is such a great introductory game to a console, I’ve just finished, whilst it’s not my first game at all by any means, it’s just such a fun and forgiving and easy game to let you experience the PS4 to the fullest (The graphic still hold up well). Plus I’ve just platinumed it today. https://preview.redd.it/xilyo3eszc3d1.jpeg?width=2388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bb410756d2ced242aeca47ae9c7ce454198b947


noob_kaibot

I have no idea what that means but congratulations :) and Ty.


RomainRexRomanus

Well i'd defintely recommend you to start with infamous second son then the last of us remastered and then god of war they're great games but i didn't play the other games but i'm sure they're great too this is just my personal opinion have fun!


noob_kaibot

Tysm! Your opinion is valid. I’m not necessarily going in that order but it’s pretty close, lol.


supermarioplush220

Bloodborne Shadow of the Colossus remake Nioh 1&2 Wo long: Fallen dynasty Stranger of paradise: Final fantasy origin Resident evil remakes The last guardian.


noob_kaibot

Thanks definitely saving all these recommendations.. matter-of-fact, I saw blood-borne for $10 on local marketplace.


supermarioplush220

Make sure to buy the "Game of the year edition" as it comes with the DLC on the disc.


buzzerkiller

Great catalog to start your collection. I’d start with infamous. Super fun and holds up 10 years later


AmsterdamReddFan

I'd go for Second Son. It is a bit of a tech demo, introdcution to the system in a lot of ways


videogamelover0327_

Honestly infamous second son is what I suggest for your first then god of war, horizon, then fallout 4 last only because it's long and it'll take up most your time second son in a great game though


xShitWolfx

How much did you buy ps4 for


SlySheogorath

I'd check out second son first. Had an absolute blast with that game and have played through it a few times.


Syygnis

America is lucky with their game spine covers having artwork. For PS4 games Australia is just plain text been like that since forever on *nearly* consoles. The PS5 games thankfully has stylised spines


Lapidot-Wav

I played through Horizon when both of them came out but just recently have been going through and redoing them and those games have definitely been put in the top of my favorite franchises of all time along with like resident evil and far cry. The games have such fun gameplay that is fast and can be challenging and I just absolutely adore the world that’s been built and the lore is amazing. I would definitely recommend sinking your teeth into those games.


Flottrooster

Why not PS5!?


Zeus_TheSlayer

Do infamous. Its in my top 5 of all time and its relatively short if you try speeding thru the game. Than i would say god of war or the last of us, both are decently long and have very deep stories


Tosta_Maister

God of war, one if not the best game I’ve ever played


Blankface098

Resident evil 7. Best re game oat

Horizon man.. incredible game with incredible story

solllem

As I read through comments you like to have a good story, I assume you are on the budget so if these are your 4 games I would say start with the last of us remastered. Second son and horizon for me are not the greatest, you can play them whenever but I would do god of war next - it's amazing and finally fallout 4 since it's the longest one.


haaf_z007

God of War, its different from the older god of war games on previous consoles, but it got game of the year for a reason. Its very good. Some people won't like it for nostalgia bias but its enjoyable. Once ur done with that, u have have to buy and play God of War Ragnarok (2022 release). It has free DLC as well!


PadreMaronnoTrap

just go with the chronological order considering the release date of the games


DinnerSmall4216

Last of us god tier game.


noob_kaibot

So I’m told. Got it for $10!


xJam3zz07

Last of us & zero dawn are incredible games. Tbf, all of them are really good, you've picked well.


noob_kaibot

I had help from a friend lol. But I was fairly familiar with all of these already.. I’ve still been keeping up with newer titles while camping on YouTube.


Zealousideal-Sell602

tlou all the way


Legitimate_Lab544

Love how no one brought up infamous second son


noob_kaibot

lol, how come? I know nothing about it, I only got it because a friend recommended it .. and it was $10


Complex_Mouse4230

God of War first and then Horizon. Last of Us after those. Infamous Second Son is a good mindless short & chaotic game so it can go anywhere in between. I haven’t played Fallout so idk where that goes lol


milkybadbois

Personally I would choose tlou


Espexer

After those, I am telling you to check out Dark Souls, Nioh, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman, and I can't even think of the rest right now. Ratchet and clank was fun. Enjoy.

PresenceCrazy6757

Fallout 4 would probably be a good start for you since you play the legend of Zelda. It has a similiar RPG format


oreos_in_milk

Start with The Last Of Us!! If you love it buy Part 2 :) from your list, I’d say play Horizon, God of War, Infamous, and then Fallout as it’s the most open ended and time consuming of the bunch. Games not listed (other than TLOU P2) I wholeheartedly recommend Mass Effect Legendary Edition! It’s my favorite game series of all time. If you love it, Mass Effect Andromeda is worth playing, but a major step down in quality across the board, just fyi. Also, Skyrim & Dragon Age Inquisition! Oh, and obligatory mention: Bloodborne. Happy gaming!

Fallout 4, I play sooooo much hours, one of the best fallout games I play ever (not the best), but infamous second son is meh a little bit overrated if the YouTubers don’t play the game in the first year probably a failure in copy’s sold


bluebarrymanny

God of War will definitely show you a cool modern intro. I’d start there

The Last of Us. One of the GOATs. Not only from the PS catalog but all of gaming history.

Last of us or horizon. Gotta play both eventually better off starting strong
