    It's decent, just gets repetitive after a while.

    Play GR wildlands as a tactical shooter and it's brilliant ie
    Set difficulty to high and turn off all hud options only way to play it.

    It's fine but it's really just the same thing over and over and over and over again.

    They brought out a 4v4 tactical multiplayer that had promise, but again suffered from the same lack of variety as the single player mode.

    I'd highly recommend checking out BiRaitBec's Fallout 4 Mod List and Load Order Guide for a solid modded experience.
    It's probably the best mod guide out there, constantly updated & uses Nexus Mod Manager which I much prefer over Vortex.

    Looks a bit daunting at first, but if you follow everything step-by-step, F4 runs really well.
    It also allows for using your own mod choices, just install at the appropriate section; eg clothes mods, install at clothes/armour section etc.

    I'm gonna do it. Mass Effect: Andromeda gifted to me.
    I'm going to jump in

    Enjoy it - keep an open mind (if you're a fan of past ME games). Plenty of side-content to do (or avoid) depending on preference. Depending on how deep you want to go with it, you'll easily burn 60-150 hours, more if you enjoy multiplayer.

    OK, only had a small while to play so the game's barely opening up. Just found out that the Kett
    are genetically over-riding races
    but other than expecting to see Shepard et al., and the crew's info about geth and genophage jarringly out of date I'm not getting the hate AT ALL. Is there bad to come?

    Gave Tomb Raider a go. Nice to play something that isn't a Total War game. It's decent as well.

    Finished the game about 2 months ago myself. Thought it was a bit harshly judged by people. I hadnt played mass effect 1/2/3 though so i just kinda viewed it as a sort space adventure game with a bit more story than the usual run of the mill stuff. In that respect i dont think its a bad game. Just a bit above average.

    So i dont think you have anything bad coming,just more of the same really.

    Brilliant game.

    Very like the uncharted series.

    I quite like it and it's the closest I'll get to Uncharted 4 as I don't own a PS4.

    Same, it's the reason that PC only me bought it in the first place.
    I barely have time for games on the PC, cannot justify a console too

    Was Uncharted 4 worth it?

    Apologies, I meant it was the reason that I bought Tomb Raider. Could not justify the PS4 for Uncharted and Last Of Us as my only realy purchases


    (I am still assuming that RDR2 will make it to PC)

    I'm not sure on the quality but can you use PSNow on your PC?

    No, there is no more bad to come if you haven't been put-off already - the worst is behind you (first impressions). While various criticisms of the game were certainly justified, it got a universal meme-treatment panning, which has a habit of building a reputation that isn't always accurate. The game has its flaws and some of those criticisms still stick, but not nearly to the level people will hear about in the typical circulation of hate-vids or initial reviews back when it was at its worst. It's much like the new Fallout game - I can see a lot of criticisms have merit, yet I know deep down that if I bought the game myself I'd still get a solid level of enjoyment out of it despite those flaws. As such, you are your own best judge - I try not to let others do it for me if I feel like I'd like something, I just use said reviews as a guideline more than anything.

    The plot and characters are by and large dull and uninspiring, and the quality of the dialogue and dialogue options are greatly diminished compared to what came before. However, there's no doubt that exploration and combat are a lot more fun.

    It's a terribly disappointing Mass Effect game, but a decent game overall if taken in isolation. I enjoyed my time with it well enough, and it's a shame that the new universe they tried to build will likely never be fleshed out or built upon.

    Got my time at portia today, nice little game, reminds me so much of stardew valley.

    In terms of ME:A
    I'm really enjoying it as a standalone. In fact I'm actually loving driving around, this game's ground exploration is much better that originals.

    One thing which I'm hating, however, is respawning enemies. You completely clear an area, take one step out of the zone, turn back and BOOM, dozens of enemies and turrets back in situ

    Played Subnautica for few hours last night. Fun survival/adventure game. It's free in the Epic store at the minute too so worth a look.

    Was free when I DL'd it few weeks ago :confused:

    They're limited offers, lasting only until a new title is given away (so every two weeks).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,947 ✭✭✭Taylor365


    Been playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Great bargain for €2.50.

    Enjoying the music immensely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,122 ✭✭✭killanena


    I'm back playing Rust again, have had it sense release and I find myself revisiting it once or twice a year for a wipe or two. Doing prettying good this wipe.

    Day 2 solo on a vanilla solo/duo server. Have a nice big base with hidden basement of loot, some good BP's and pretty much getting ready to raid a few neighbours tonight who haven't been so friendly to me ;)
