Glad to hear that. It's on my list.

Make sure to pick up one of these first

That's brilliant. It's actually genius. If I had the mental fortitude to play RE7 in VR, I would definitely pick that up. More games need to do this. Or at least some company needs to do this on behalf of games.*

Also, did you see the character themed rubber ducks?! I want them all!

Edit: Forgot to say, picked up the Spec II edition of GT Sport for less than €25 the other day. Was really into 1, 2 & 3 back in the day, but I found subsequent ones only meh. Having a blast with Sport though. I made a decision to only use manual and interior view, and I think that's helped (traditionally, it was AT and chase view). Cars do all feel different, graphics are of course spectacular if a bit weird by the scenes option. Who wouldn't park their Group 4 Evo Final Edition on the Giants Causeway!

Have finished the beginner and intermediate training (no expert?!) and half way through the challenges. Recognise most of the SP game modes (Sunday Cup, etc). Can't find any tournaments like there used to be (iirc, you could play the Sunday Cup as a tournament, etc). Not sure I'm ready for the online world yet, my driving lines are, shall we say, individual. Don't want to be 'that' guy who doesn't know the racing line and causes crashes. And while there is plenty of SP content, it's just all thrown there with no progression needed. Doesn't feel like the GT I remember, and doesn't help with the limited cars available. How could they have fit 650 cars into GT2 and only manage 333 here? I miss going into the second hand section and finding some bargains. Think that's missing from most racing games, the ability to buy realistic cars.


* might be over-reacting

Finished Wolfenstein II the other night, it was fantastic, just a fun old school shooter. So have now started on God of War.

Swore I was done with it but no I was wrong it seems.

I bought the Destiny 2 Forsaken and Shadowkeep DLC’s.

Let the addiction recommence. What have I done!!!

So HZD fizzled out quite quickly, ended up quitting on my 3rd/4th evening after a few hours of zero fun... Finished Shadow of Tomb Raider t'other day, really enjoyed the gameplay of the main story. Onto Shadow of Mordor now, early days but so far so good

I felt the same. Just knocked it down to easy, as I was really enjoying the story, but not the grind!

God of War was €12 - so I bought it and am a few hours in.

Enjoying it so far.

I'm not sure I am to be honest. Though in saying that I initially started off not being too fond of Horizon Zero Dawn and ended up loving it.

I wonder am I taking the wrong approach with battles? I tend to go in all gung-ho but perhaps they are supposed to be tackled slowly and carefully?

Any of the big lads, I tend to keep my distance, spam the square button and use ranged combat and dodging.

I'd generally prefer games that have more of a stealth element myself but for €12 you can't go wrong with GOW - looks lovely too.

Started playing GTA 5 with a few friends on Co OP last few nights is it just me or is it really awkward to get a game with just us only without randomers

Heists seem especially difficult to organise

Outland on PS3.
I think if it becomes like a bullet hell game I'll be stopping

Quit Shadow of Mordor tonight. Too repetitive, too much button bashing. Maybe I'm playing it wrong...

Working through backlog, next up choosing between Uncharted 3, A Plague Tale, Until Dawn, Yakuza Zero and Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed 2... Ideally something I can finish before RE3 is (hopefully) delivered

I enjoyed Shadow of Mordor - it wasn't repetitive really at the time, but games have moved on since it was released - 6 years is a long time in games!

I did love the game, but that said, they kept a similar formula for the sequel, Shadow of War, and I could not get into that and dropped it after an hour. Assassins Creed: Odyssey is the level of open world that I want now, and I'm just onto ep2 in the second set of DLC now.

Shadow of Mordor I loved and was bored of at the same time, the environment was too boring in places. I enjoyed the system.

Thats a decent list after that to get stuck into

Until Dawn is great, takes awhile to get the story going/to move all the pieces into place, but its not a long game by any stretch, you'll finish that in a day!!

Batman awesome, wonder how well its held up!

Assassins creed 2 is great, one I got bored of at first but went back to and platinumed it.

Didnt play a plagues tale or Yakuza!

I actually just replayed Arkham Asylum about a week or so ago. It's likely the 5th time I've done so. It still holds up really well (NOTE: It was the remastered version) - must jump into Arkham City again (once I get past the prelude which I always hate)

Just starting the FFVII Remake demo now. I'll admit to having never played a Final Fantasy game before

Finally started Spider Man a few nights ago after having it sitting in my backlog for close to a year. Best thing I’ve played in ages, just so much fun and stunning graphically as well.

Once I’m done with that, I plan on having another crack at Bloodborne. Gave up on it very early the first time around due to utter frustration, hopefully I’ve grown more patient since then.

Bought God of War when it was on offer and finished it. What a game, I loved every minute of it. The way they worked with Greek mythology was really nicely done and the combat style and puzzle solving was just great

Currently downloading L.A Noire. I got it when it first came out but one of my discs broke when I was halfway through so I never got to finish it. Thought it was such a good game at the time so hoping it’s aged well enough to still be as enjoyable

I think you meant Norse mythology if you're referring to the PS4 God of War.

There is a whole series on Greek mythology - I believe they are all on PSNow, with God of War 3 Remastered being the only one on PS4. There's three mainline games, one prequel, and a couple of Vita/PSP games that were ported. Fantastic story throughout.

Revisiting HZD, it's a close second to Civilisation in the ability of 'I'll just do this now' and suddenly 3 hours are gone. Essential to pass the time

Picked up Days Gone in the PSN sale, enjoying it so far about 5 hours in

Started Unravel.

Nice. I love that game. Amazing soundtrack too.

Yeah, it was a nice wee game. And it's even a rare game where I enjoyed the snowy levels. Have the sequel as well so will play that down the line
