Foals are awesome. You should try a few of their other songs.

I have purchased AC Syndicate and it's probably the longest I've waited to buy an AC game after release but...it's pretty damn good so far. I'm only on Sequence 4 and got control of Whitechapel & Lambeth so I'm sure the usual repetition will kick in but it's my favourite since Brotherhood I think (remains to be seen if they'll ever top ACII or Brotherhood again though). Main missions have been ok and the side stuff is fun, makes a change not having terrible main characters too.

Old Hunters DLC.

Don't understand why this is so by the numbers when both DS DLC story packs added so much to the overall experience. Got it on sale for £7 on the PS store tho so I suppose I can't complain too much.

The Division beta
- Mehhh not too fussed about this game, will pass when it comes out

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I'm still none the wiser. I've rescued a dude and now been air-lifted to an offshore oil rig. Am I meant to be clued up on the story for this fucking game to make any sense? Really losing interest.

I'm clued up on the story and am in the same boat, not rescued the dude yet, as I got fed up of being stealthy, went in firing, and they killed him. c***.

Bloodborne;
Stuck on Lady Maria, that bitch kills me within 30 seconds almost every time

Supreme Ruler 2020. Playing as the USA, already conquered Canada, central America, Colombia, Peru, and most of Brazil. Just beating them down now, their (at the start of the war) 1.1million strong army was nothing to my 4million strong army, once they're dealt with, I'll finish off South America, take the pacific islands, then I'm not sure if to start on Africa, Europe or Asia. May go for Africa as they should fall easier.

Although, I am considering playing the broken world one which could be fun with everywhere split into smaller, weaker countries.

Not anymore, accidentally overwrote the c***.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. I read all the bad reviews, how bad could it possibly be having been a THPS gamer since day 1. Fucking awful is the answer. There are boosts all over so the skater goes 500ft in the air. You can olly off any height and you will land it regardless. Any manual or grind which you fuck up, you no longer fall off the board, you just end the combo. Somehow you can defy gravity and push the board down quickly too so you can get that grind quicker.

And what the fuck have they done to the school level. School III. School II with a few additions and some bits removed. No fucking imagination.

Waste of a tenner.

NO SYMPATHY SORRY.

Resident Evil 0
I'm almost done with the mansion a.ka the 'Umbrella Training Facility'. Killed the big centipede boss (Joke of a boss. It doesn't even attack you I don't think.) In a bad way at the moment though. I've got a bit of ammo but no healing items and both my characters are in caution, probably a hit away from danger.

Life is Strange
Episode 4.

Spoiler

Thought I'd completely screwed up some choices because Chloe ended up in a wheelchair after I saved her dad, William. Luckily I went back and 'fixed' it.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Only played an hour or so. Inside the Deku tree and I've just found a slingshot.

 

[Cas]

Life is Strange
Finished it

Spoiler

I sacrificed Chloe. Can't fucking believe I did that. Arcadia Bay can go feck itself. Absolutely loved Max and Chloe. They're probably my favourite duo of the last decade, even beating out Joel and Ellie. Enjoyed every moment of this game. If I did a top ten favourites list again...it'd probably land in the top 5 somewhere. 10/10.

Diablo 3
Started a hardcore run with the Monk (Thanks Smudge ). I just know I'm going to die at level 69 or something.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Defeated Gohma in the Deku Tree. On my way to Hyrule castle now.

 

[SALTIRE]

Watchdogs and Grim Fandango. After those I need to buy a couple, any recommends?

 

[Eski Boi]

Bloodborne:

Finished the Old Hunters DLC after killing Orphan of Kos and Lawrence today.
Going to start playing more chalice dungeons.

 

[Leewilson]

Got given the 3 Dead Space games for Christmas. Put off playing them until AC Syndicate and Until Dawn were complete.

But oh my god is it good. Currently on chapter 5 and completely immersed. Best Survival Horror I've played for a long long time.

 

[Liverlad]

Been wasting my free hours on BF4, FO4 and The Witcher 3 . Had to downgrade to a ps4 recently though so also spent a lot of time learning how to use a controller in a FPS game!

I need to start that properly. I played through the first 2 religiously, but then had to wait for the 3rd to be delivered, and ended up getting started on something else.

Dead Space 2 was terrifyingly brilliant.

 

[Cas]

Dead Space games are excellent, three of my favourite games from last gen.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I loved Dead Space and Dead Space 2 but I struggled to get in to Dead Space 3. The claustrophobic, atmospheric setting is great. Truly scary in places too. Plus the mechanics of upgrading everything was good.

Can you get it on PS4? May have to get them again.

Nah, not on PS4. I enjoyed DS3 but it was nowhere near as tense or scary as the first two and I think that's down to making your own weapons. Some of the combinations made the game far too easy.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
I'm in Dodongo's Cavern. Can see why people have this as their favourite game of all time. Loving every second of it.

Beyond: Two Souls
Finished 'The Mission'. Only chapter in the game that I'm not keen on.

 

[saddler_andy]

Helldivers - pretty good fun, for free.

Fallout - I still love it, the story is shite but the game play is great fun.

Fifa - Staple of any diet (only pro clubs though)

 

[Oaf]

Playing a fair bit of HellDivers too. It's really good fun, probably my favourite twin stick shooter.

But mostly, I'm playing X-Com 2 right now. I was a super fan boy about the last one, so it's no surprise that I fucking love this sequel. They've pretty much improved nearly every aspect of what was already a superb game. A lot of reviews seem to be talking about it as one of the best tactical games of all time, and it probably is. The combat tactic stuff was always great, but they've nailed the HQ side of things this time around as well. Time always feels against you and the pressure is constantly on. It's rare to find a game where every single decision feels like it matters so much.

I'm back on my ps2 playing LMA Manager 2007 again. Im currently manager of Tamworth and got them to the championship from the conference in 4 seasons and im currently 3rd with 12 games to go. Lma 2002 is my favourite ever game, I just wish they kept making them now

What's your budget like? I loved the LMA games, but the thing I always remember is getting to the PL with Walsall, and them telling me I needed to cut the wage bill and had fuck all to spend, but they expected us to avoid relegation.

 

[PaulWolves]

I've managed to get 4 million transfer budget from buying and selling players but the wage budget is the problem as players now want 12k or so but I've only got 7k wage budget so i cant really buy any decent players or average ones really. I've relied on the youth team which has produced 4 good players.

 

[Leewilson]

Completed Dead Space. A truly brilliant game. I'm rather annoyed it's taken me 7-8 years to discover it. Probably the fact I knew it was a space game made me think it'd be an alien shoot em up but far from it, it's better than that.

The tension was superb, the story intriguing and I really liked the battle twist where you had to aim for limbs when normally headshots rule.

The only thing that fucked me off was the god awful map. Thankfully R3 showed you the direction you needed to go in because that map was atrocious.

9/10. I'm excited to start number 2 tonight.

Resident Evil 0
I've just run into the eliminator enemies. Annoying but not as bad as hunters.

Defeated the boss in Dodongo's cavern. Not sure where I'm headed next.

Spoiler

Nagito is dead. Good. Little shit-pipe.

World of Warcraft
Just completed chapter two of the legendary ring quest line. Have to go to Foundry next...ugh.
