I know lots of people adore the game, but it has been years since I've played a game that left such a sour taste with me. I genuinely felt like Bungie had something approaching disdain for my time time and effort, and well **** that. I got out nice and early, just after the campaign. And while a lot of people say the game opens up after that, it seems to do so by doubling down on everything that I disliked in the early stages.
Yeah I remember reading your thoughts on it before, maybe it helps that I only started playing it recently and was oblivious to any hype or failed promises on release. I did find the campaign getting repetitive towards the end alright and it's a shame the story is pretty poor - as you get the sense there's a great lore to be uncovered. Once you hit the xp level cap you're effectively repeating similar tasks to get better gear to raise your light level. But the core gameplay is fantastic I find, which is ironic for me as I don't play first person shooters and have very little time for games in general let alone ones with mmo like features. And I've barely touched the pvp side of the game. It's also great fun playing with the chaps in the PS4 clan, really helpful folk.
Anyway, PS4 is class (except for my stupid disc eject problem).
Still nothing to entice me into buying a Sky box though (Xbox One).0 -

Playstation Mobile is being discontinued which might have you all asking 'Playstation what now?' but it's the only place you can get a little gem called Oh! Deer which is a Outrun 2 clone with music by the guy that did the Streets of Rage 3 music:

Ah, all of my behavioural training flooded back with a mention of that, reinforcers, behavioural modification, Pavlov and his dog.... That was a while ago though, 1990/93...

I'm not a big fan of mobile/tablet games but I played a bit of Taito's Groove Coaster 2 (Android) last night and it's quite fun and the availability of Darius Burst tracks helps.

After many months of waiting I now have two of these bad boys on the way to me
It’s totally worth the wait though as the designer has certainly made some serious improvements since I stuck my name on the waiting list.
v3.0 features:
1. 8 SCART inputs;
2. SCART output;
3. VGA output;
4. 3.5 audio jack output;
5. Automatic switching (composite based signal detection);
6. Only external power (standard 2.1 DC jack, 7-12V, center is negative);
7. Integrated sync stripper (SCART output only, can be turned off).0 -

You haven't played video games outside until you've played four player plus Johann Sebastian Joust in a pitch black field, the space illuminated only by the garish multicolour lights of PS Move controllers Definitely worth a try next time there's a beers night with appropriate facilities! 0 -

It was a late August night as well, or early September, either way it shouldn't have been so cold.
I'm surprised at how long ago it was too!
Clear sky too I remember which didnt help.
In fairness the hospitality in the cider household was top notch, not only were blankets handed out but tonnes of food fresh out of the oven also. 0 -

Yeah I was surprised by that too, feels more like a special edition. Only played a couple of hours before Destiny took me away but reading those latest patch notes it sounds like the game will be even better by the time I get back to it proper.
Not retro but Tesco are selling these Star Wars t-shirts (with less creases
). Missus picked one up for me yesterday, a tenner I think she said it was. They look pretty cool imo.
Which reminds me, took a pic of this monster in the Star Wars exhibit at Lego Land. Hard to tell from the pic but it's absolutely massive (as in dinner table big). The engines at the back light up cool too.
