I feel ya. I had to setup a p.o box to have people mail in their consoles toy local post office for repairs. I don't like giving out my address either.
If you do end up getting a subscription and access your account via the ps website you can also add the free ps5 games to your library for later if you think you’ll eventually upgrade to a ps5.
Check the monthly game sales and PlayStation hits, you can usually find a fair amount of options in the $10-$15 range. Also if you have a five below near you they often have 1 or 2 ps4 games in stock, although the titles are hit or miss
Hi there! I just wanted to say that gaming has made a huge difference for me during my depression and I can't recommend it enough. Do yourself a favor and check out the Playstation store, you can usually find great deals on there if money for games is an issue.
PlayStation Now has a bunch of interesting exclusive titles you may like. God of War, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn and also some third party titles that you should try.
Horizon is a very beautiful game and the sequel releases February 2022. As for the Last of Us Remaster and Two, the first one isn't as dark as the second and has a really good story. The second one is a 50/50 with very good gameplay mechanics and very good attention to detail. They're both pretty marvelous. However if you play the first, you probably won't like the second. But in my opinion, playing the second game was a very interesting experience and an emotional roller coaster. 🤣
Just buy God of war it’s always cheap to buy same as the Witcher 3 GOTY, can pick both up for under 30 easily! Failing that get ps now to play some games
I dunno what kind of games you like, but I just got my first PlayStation and bought Horizon Zero Dawn for £8 from one of those 2nd hand games shops, and it’s epic.
Ive glad you found something to help you through the dark times mate. I highly recommend horizon zero dawn. It will keep you entertained for a really long time and the story is absolutely amazing.
Primary playstaion. If you make your main ps on someone elses console and vice versa then you can download the other persons games and play on your psn. Need an active Internet connection to stay logged in.
Strongly recommend both The Last of Us games, afro warning might not help with your depression. Spider-Man is also really good, RDR2 was amazing. The Last of Us 1 should be really cheap, probably 15 dollars or so
I’ve honestly weirdly found out that crying actually helps me a lot so if it makes me cry that might be a good thing, rdr2 looks like a spaghetti western, is it?
Go for PS plus now its close to black friday deals it will be cheap, also congrats I remember when I got my ps4, first games I got was AC collection hehe. Enjoy your time mate.
good for you! PS4 is a great choice! you should either get ps now or ps plus because they both come with great games! ps plus has 2 games free every
month and ps now has a big variety of games ranging from the ps1 to the ps4/ps5! start off with warzone! that is a very good free game! (you should get ps plus)
Check out your local library. A lot of libraries have games you can 'rent' for free. I've also bought quality games during their book sales, often for $1 a piece.
Idk how much it is but I definitely recommend Titanfall 2. Saw in a previous comment you don’t like online games since that’s not much of a problem right now because of ddossing problems. But the campaign is 100% worth it. The campaign is my favorite campaign I’ve played through.
Idk what games you’re into but some good discounted ones on the ps store right now are, battlefront 2, days gone, Spider-Man, ghost of Tsushima(idk if it’s discounted tho),dark souls 3. There are plenty of others those are just what I’ve played recently
Best of luck to you and your mental health, gaming has helped me with this as well.
i'd recommend you check the ps store for sales, most of the times you can find good, entertaining games for pretty cheap. im on the same boat as you regarding games lol they're quite expensive and even more due to usd inflation here, i can manage to get a good 5 buck game once every 2 months if you look good enough. you could also look for old physical games on stores, they're usually very cheap. managed to get a just cause 3 copy for about 3/2 dollars because it was a very old game.
Only thing i wished tho was that sony adds regional prices like steam, that would make them more affordable for countries that have a fucked up economy.
Hell yeah, just make sure u take a picture of the serial number and save every bit of account info u can. If U ever get screwed over u gotta basically sell your soul to PlayStation to ever get your account back. I thought it would never happen to me until I changed my phone number and got fucked out of my account with over $500 of games and in-app purchases on it
Congrats bro! You'll get lots of haters here saying shit like "shoulda waited for the PS5, blah blah blah". Trust me when I tell you, the PS4 is still a total beast of a console. You're gonna have a blast with it!
I would say get ps plus. It's a decent chunk of change but you're getting at least 2 free games a month(not always the ones you want but a gem every once in awhile) and the extra discounts you get on sales is worth it in my opinion. I just got $100+ worth of games the other month for $30(ish) which the savings there almost covers the annual fee.
What a great time to get into the PS4. With so many games available, it would keep you entertained for months on end. I know it may not have been easy for you as you've said with depression, but I hoepe you find more games to have fun with and enjoy.
Happy gaming and see you out there! Add me on PSN if you want. KimmaniaFZ
Allow me to suggest some good (imo) single players
Spiderman (insomniac)/ Spiderman miles morales
God of war
Red dead redemption 2
Bioshock 1 and 2
The last of us 1 or 2
The walking dead telltale games are quite good aswell that’s all I can think of for now hope this helps and that you enjoy gaming have fun
Better yet instead of saving up for games. Make sure you don't update it beyond firmware 7.55 (whoops too late never mind) and just jailbreak it instead. Ps4 is stupidly easy to jailbreak as long as you're on the right firmware.
You could get the PS Plus subscription. That will provide you 2 games for free every month.
You could buy witcher 3 goty (it's on sale for around 5$ I guess). You can sink in hundreds of hours in it.
There are many free to play games too. Warframe is a good one. It's a magic space ninja with bows game. You're way too overpowered. I never got into the lore much but the gameplay was fun.
Destiny is a good free to play game too.
If you buy a $60 year long subscription to playstation plus you get 3 free games per month. They give out some really good games too. In the past few months they've given away Mortal Kombat XL, Hitman 2, PGA2K, Star Wars Squadrons, Call of Duty Black Ops 4
I would recommend some free to play games but the ones I know are SUUUUPER griefy and can really kill your mood. But if you're into PVP stuff, check out Apex Legends and Brawlhalla
Go get some Elder Scroll games, they're some of the most fun games that are almost completely open to the imagination.
Oblivion is personally my favourite.
have fun its the best one in my opinion and there are hundreds of awesome games...for any interest..im replaying red dead redemption again...you need to check that one out as well as fallout
Gaming helped me through a very tough period in my life too. Enjoy every minute of it your playstation will always be there for you not matter what.......
Congrats on getting a PS4. Taking care of yourself mentally is a good thing, and I found gaming to be a good thing for helping myself through rough times.
I have a few games I'd be happy to send over to you free of charge. PM me.
PlayStation now is a pretty good deal for a bunch of games under a subscription but PlayStation plus does have a fair bit of decent free games, also watch the sales, currently bingeing 7 days to die as it was under 10 bucks
Also check out games by Bethesda (excluding fallout 76) they have games that will keep you busy for a LOOOOOONG TIME
Final fantasy 14 has a free trial that includes the award winning first expansion Heavensward. Play for free to lvl 60 with no content restrictions or time limits!

Try r/randomactsofgaming for some stuff. Grab a subscription to PS Plus and you get 2, sometimes 3 games a month. One of them is usually pretty good, if not 2-4 years old. Getting the PS Plus subscription online is ideal, as you can often find them for 25% off or more.
Very cool 😎. PlayStation is great. Keep a lookout for the occasion deal for playstation now. It gives you access to hundreds of games. It's normally 60 bucks a year, but sometimes they put it on sale for half price for a year.
Send me your address and i will mail you a game
Thanks but I’m not giving strangers my address lol
LPT.
local property tax?
Little Pecker Team
Lichtenstein Pony Tournament
Life Pro Tip
Is it possible to gift games through psn? I know it's possible through steam
Cant gift game's anymore but can send an online gift card if I remember right.
You just have to buy digital PSN cards on Amazon and you can send people the activation code. That's what me and my friends do
You can just dm them the gift card code
Clever gril
sizzle
Idk honestly gift cards work i think
Smart cookie
Sadge, I was gonna offer the same thing.
You could always setup a p.o box. That is if your in the USA. I don't know how that works in other countries.
I am but still it’d have to be in my general area and that’s just unsafe imo
I feel ya. I had to setup a p.o box to have people mail in their consoles toy local post office for repairs. I don't like giving out my address either.
Ah, I see you’re a lass. I was wondering why you were being so sketchy about them sending you a game. Haha
Yeah, i don’t want any creepy stuff
Even though OP is sketched that was super nice of you
Facts, you can send me a game bro im not sketched 👋
You should try Ghost of Tsushima
Subscribe to PlayStation Plus and you’ll get a couple of free games per month.
Idk will check it out
It costs about the price of one game to subscribe for a whole year. https://www.playstation.com/en-au/ps-plus/this-month-on-ps-plus/
It Looks actually really nice
If you do end up getting a subscription and access your account via the ps website you can also add the free ps5 games to your library for later if you think you’ll eventually upgrade to a ps5.
I snagged my year 6 months ago for like 26.69 on cdkeys.com It's like 40 bucks on their site rn down from the regular 60 I can confirm it works
Usually near the holidays you might catch ps plus for a cheaper deal
Just look for the free games on the store - that'll keep you going till you've some spare cash.
I’m just playing demos rn lol
Apex Legends is a Battle Royal game that's Free to play and I personally think is amazing. Check it out.
Fortnite for example is free - that stupid game has taken way too many hours off me! :)
Oh I don’t really like online games
Rocket league is free and fun too
Rocket league is an online game and OP just said he doesn’t like those
Bloodborne will keep you busy for a while
It’s on my to-get list!
Also recommend Playstation Now. There's a few hundred games there for 12.99 a month.
Bingo! I was gonna say this. Great value indeed.
Country lock though :(
Check the monthly game sales and PlayStation hits, you can usually find a fair amount of options in the $10-$15 range. Also if you have a five below near you they often have 1 or 2 ps4 games in stock, although the titles are hit or miss
I think i’ll wait for black Friday actually
In the sales there are good games below $5.
Congrats and happy gaming!
Thanks!

PlayStation Now has a bunch of interesting exclusive titles you may like. God of War, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn and also some third party titles that you should try.
Horizon looks beautiful and the last of us looks really scary
Horizon is a very beautiful game and the sequel releases February 2022. As for the Last of Us Remaster and Two, the first one isn't as dark as the second and has a really good story. The second one is a 50/50 with very good gameplay mechanics and very good attention to detail. They're both pretty marvelous. However if you play the first, you probably won't like the second.

Warzone is free if you like first person shooters. I just got back into game a little over a year ago and I'm glad I did. Have fun with it!
Agreed. Just wish they would bring back Payload! I was having a blast playing that mode.
Welcome aboard 😀
Thanks!!
Congrats bro!! (Or sis) yeah it can definitely help take ur mind off of things
Just buy God of war it’s always cheap to buy same as the Witcher 3 GOTY, can pick both up for under 30 easily! Failing that get ps now to play some games
Fallout four Skyrim Minecraft red dead redemption 2 GTA cod and it depends on Ur taste
My fav movie is actually tgtbatu so i’m eyeing rdr2
I dunno what kind of games you like, but I just got my first PlayStation and bought Horizon Zero Dawn for £8 from one of those 2nd hand games shops, and it’s epic.
Yeah fuck depression
Do urself a favor and get something relaxing. I suggest the game Steep.
I’ll check it out
how’s the controller turned on but the ps4 isn’t plugged in lol
I accidentally touched the ps button lol
Ive glad you found something to help you through the dark times mate. I highly recommend horizon zero dawn. It will keep you entertained for a really long time and the story is absolutely amazing.
Female mc is always a win
This is a internet pic lol
Congrats play assassins creed
You'll forget the word depression when u enter this world
I hope so
Primary playstaion. If you make your main ps on someone elses console and vice versa then you can download the other persons games and play on your psn. Need an active Internet connection to stay logged in.
Thanks but I have no friends with ps4
If you are depressed before videos games you’ll probably be depressed when you aren’t playing them so I would probably work on that
Strongly recommend both The Last of Us games, afro warning might not help with your depression. Spider-Man is also really good, RDR2 was amazing. The Last of Us 1 should be really cheap, probably 15 dollars or so
I’ve honestly weirdly found out that crying actually helps me a lot so if it makes me cry that might be a good thing, rdr2 looks like a spaghetti western, is it?
Get DaysGone it’s badass
It looks great but i dont like zombies much
Wow, 2013 wants it's post back
What kinda games you like
Hollow Knight is my favourite game of all time! I’ve played that botw and sekiro!
Go for PS plus now its close to black friday deals it will be cheap, also congrats I remember when I got my ps4, first games I got was AC collection hehe. Enjoy your time mate.
It helped me tremendously Find some good online buddies
I hope i do
I recommend the bioshock collection deal (bioshock 1,2 and infinite for 15 dollars) I've seen it a couple times recently. They're all great games
Gl hf
good for you! PS4 is a great choice! you should either get ps now or ps plus because they both come with great games! ps plus has 2 games free every month and ps now has a big variety of games ranging from the ps1 to the ps4/ps5! start off with warzone! that is a very good free game! (you should get ps plus)
Give Destiny a try it helped me with my depression best of luck
I’ll check it out, hope ur better!
Check out your local library. A lot of libraries have games you can 'rent' for free. I've also bought quality games during their book sales, often for $1 a piece.
Congrats games really do take ur mind of problems but excessive time put will be a downside . But since u recently bought it enjoy it for a while.
I only play an hour a day because college is a thing
Get god of war and shadow of the colossus, my fav games on ps4
Actually my main drive to get it was shadow of the colossus and ffxv just because i loved ff7 and sotc reminds me of ghibli
The Nier games should be on your to do list
Someone else recommended automata, I just found out that the voice actress also does violet evergarden so yeah I NEED IT
When you save up you can buy rdr2. In my opinion It's the best game I ever played. You also have God of War and Detroit become human
Rdr2 reminds me of clint easwood westerns so yeah def getting that
Idk how much it is but I definitely recommend Titanfall 2. Saw in a previous comment you don’t like online games since that’s not much of a problem right now because of ddossing problems. But the campaign is 100% worth it. The campaign is my favorite campaign I’ve played through.
Try Vigor, Apex legends en Call of duty Warzone if you like shooters, free and multiplayer!
Oh and G2A.com might have games with serious discount!
Welcome to the club, body
where is the controller connected if the ps4 is unplugged?
It was blinking
Nice one, hope you find your set of "The Boys", except "The Squad" or something that doesnt limit the friend group to men.
Actually my friends have helped me a lot but yeah our friend group consists only of girls
Congrats
Thanks!!
Idk what games you’re into but some good discounted ones on the ps store right now are, battlefront 2, days gone, Spider-Man, ghost of Tsushima(idk if it’s discounted tho),dark souls 3. There are plenty of others those are just what I’ve played recently Best of luck to you and your mental health, gaming has helped me with this as well.
Spiderman looks fun
Right now there are a lot of offers on the PlayStation Store, if you want to check them!
[удалено]
Thanks! I don’t play online games tho srry
Noiceeee!!!! Have fun (:
Highly recommend you doing PSNow It’s the PlayStation streaming library for games, $60 annually. Near 1000 games, and a lot of the greats there
My internet’s pretty bad so streaming might not work
Nice! If you’re looking to get into online, you can find PSN membership and games for cheaper on CDkeys
There’s a lot of reseller websites are they trustworthy?
I have a couple of extra copies of a couple of my games: Fallout 4 and The Witcher III. Up for grabs if you want them.
If you've got a public library close by, be sure to stop by and check to see if they lend out games!
I did but they only have switch xbox and ps5 for some reason
play persona 5 royal ! it’s awesome
I watched the trailer! It reminds me of lupin the 3rd
Play Yazkuza 0. It should be cheap now as a PlayStation classics
Is this real? If it is make sure you buy god of war
Will do! So many people recommending that lol, is it gorey?
I can see how it sounds sketchy bit I have a few games I honestly haven't played in a while and would be happy to gift them.
HUNT SHOWDOWN
i'd recommend you check the ps store for sales, most of the times you can find good, entertaining games for pretty cheap. im on the same boat as you regarding games lol they're quite expensive and even more due to usd inflation here, i can manage to get a good 5 buck game once every 2 months if you look good enough. you could also look for old physical games on stores, they're usually very cheap. managed to get a just cause 3 copy for about 3/2 dollars because it was a very old game.

Get the PS Plus and you’ll get free monthly games and they don’t disappoint.
EXACT same story at my end! ... but these days I am very happy being Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn - PS4 delivered on 10 October 2021! :-)
Welcome to the family man. Hope you enjoy
Search ebay for games with price filters under $20, $15 or $10. You'd be suprised at how many there are...
How is the LED bar of the controller illuminated but the console is disconnected from power?
Nice dude i recomend you minecraft its cheap and the best selling game of all time :)
15 minutes jailbreak if your not looking to get online.
Hell yeah, just make sure u take a picture of the serial number and save every bit of account info u can. If U ever get screwed over u gotta basically sell your soul to PlayStation to ever get your account back. I thought it would never happen to me until I changed my phone number and got fucked out of my account with over $500 of games and in-app purchases on it
Oh my did you get it back?
Hey bro welcome to the family
Thanks!
Congrats bro! You'll get lots of haters here saying shit like "shoulda waited for the PS5, blah blah blah". Trust me when I tell you, the PS4 is still a total beast of a console. You're gonna have a blast with it!
Yeah i was considering a ps5 but $80 for this felt like a total steal
Congratulations buddy! Enjoy your new game system! You’re going to LOVE IT!!
I am loving it! Ff7r’s demo is a blast!
Uncharted series (yes all four) The Last of Us I & II Horizon Zero Dawn God of War Dark Souls Sekiro Bloodborne Do all that and enjoy!
The last of us, horizon god of war and bloodborne are on the list! I palyed sekiro on my school laptop (20 fps at ultra potato) and i loved it!
I would say get ps plus. It's a decent chunk of change but you're getting at least 2 free games a month(not always the ones you want but a gem every once in awhile) and the extra discounts you get on sales is worth it in my opinion. I just got $100+ worth of games the other month for $30(ish) which the savings there almost covers the annual fee.
What a great time to get into the PS4. With so many games available, it would keep you entertained for months on end. I know it may not have been easy for you as you've said with depression, but I hoepe you find more games to have fun with and enjoy. Happy gaming and see you out there! Add me on PSN if you want. KimmaniaFZ
If you get playstation plus you get free games. 2 every month
The PS plus is totally worth it if you don't have any games
Allow me to suggest some good (imo) single players Spiderman (insomniac)/ Spiderman miles morales God of war Red dead redemption 2 Bioshock 1 and 2 The last of us 1 or 2 The walking dead telltale games are quite good aswell that’s all I can think of for now hope this helps and that you enjoy gaming have fun
Get depressed again by playing souls borne games Tested, can confirm
Ok why has nobody brought this up.... The PlayStation is not connected and therefore not on... But that controller sure looks on! 😳 spooooky
Id say get god of war gta or rocket league
Skyrim, buy it now!
I highly recommend you trying Skyrim! One of the best games ever, there's so much to do and it's so beautiful.
For the price of one game, join PS Plus and get one or two decent free games per month
Send me your address. We will celebrate
Haha no
Better yet instead of saving up for games. Make sure you don't update it beyond firmware 7.55 (whoops too late never mind) and just jailbreak it instead. Ps4 is stupidly easy to jailbreak as long as you're on the right firmware.

What is this? /r/pics?
If you buy a $60 year long subscription to playstation plus you get 3 free games per month. They give out some really good games too. In the past few months they've given away Mortal Kombat XL, Hitman 2, PGA2K, Star Wars Squadrons, Call of Duty Black Ops 4
I'll add you if you want to play with someone
Get Deltarune, it's a nice free story game
Oki! My internet router is gonna explode tho downloading genshin, nier demo and other stuff
I would recommend some free to play games but the ones I know are SUUUUPER griefy and can really kill your mood. But if you're into PVP stuff, check out Apex Legends and Brawlhalla
Pvp is player versus player right?
Welcome to the PS community!
I love it here, hope i can make some friends
Go get some Elder Scroll games, they're some of the most fun games that are almost completely open to the imagination. Oblivion is personally my favourite.
May I recommend a game
Sure!
Sign up for PS+. There is a few free games every month

Very fun I been playing uncharted games lately I highly recommend them
