hitman is on sale on steam for £5.49 bargain of the year! anyone with a decent pc and a wicked sense of humour=must buy!

referring to the 2016 game? if so worth pointing out the initial purchase is just tutorial+level one, with rest of the game being sold episodically. hitman season 1 (collected levels from last year) is currently at $30 aud. 

been playing it on and off the past couple weeks and it is so good. good goofy stupid fun. 

I beat Bioshock Infinite again last Wednesday, but since then I've been playing strictly mobile (Android)

War Robots is pretty fun. Basically an MMO Mechwarrior. I love prancing around the map capturing every vulnerable beacon I can while all the other players are focused on destroying each other. More often than not I end up helping my team win the match with this approach.

Nioh is a great game, tons of adrenaline moments trying to get back your loot and make it to the next save, the gameplay is top notch and iv been playing for hours and i'm nowhere yet!!

it's hard, that first real boss with the balls was HARD,! i love the game so far... hoooked!

Is RE7 standalone enough that I could jump in without having played 5-6, and not clearly remembering 4?... TBH I never was big into the RE lore, but this game looks like a proper horror game and I'm curious to give it a try.

 

 

Yeah, the storyline isn't as prevalent or convoluted as it was in previous RE games (never played 6). The main protagonist is not a part of S.T.A.R.S or Umbrella or anything like that, you're basically just a guy who goes out looking for his wife who went missing years ago and is in the dark as to what's actually going on. Later in the game some of the lore comes into play but I really didn't even care for it that much tbh, it's the constant suspense and creepy characters that keep you engrossed. And dude, try to find a way to play this in VR if you don't have it already.

 

Jeez, they really did just make a Silent Hill game.

Picked up Moon Hunters to play with the GF. She's a personality test junkie so she's having fun. I mostly enjoy the killing things part.

Anyone give Dying Light a go?

Very enjoyable, but much better with a co-op buddy.  A lo of crafting, and weapons degrade pretty rapidly.  Get the Enhanced Edition w/ the DLC.

I don't have any co-op buddies sadly. Crafting and constantly rebuilding weapons is so tedious for me, it drives me mad on Fallout so I may give this a swerve. Shame, as it looks cool. 

been playing blops1 on ps3 w/my buddy. man that had some great maps. one in the chamber is easily one of the best modes they ever came up with. shame it's not been in any of the later games

Payday 2 with buddy still, kinda cool to be the good player in a game for once. Also when the fuck did it become a forty gig install? Holy shit.

Also reinstalled FFXIII-2 to scratch my RPG fix, which is still surprisingly one of the best FF games I've played. Fun in all the ways FFXIII failed to be. Just wish my computer was a little better so it ran 60fps constantly.

DIRT Rally VR

Never been a simracer guy and it shows, as I've gone plummeting off cliffs into the treeline dozens of times already. For me it's a mixture of some really thrilling and rewarding moments in the form of pulling off near-death turns after hitting jumps on the icy roads of Sweden mixed with the extreme frustration and disappointment of trying to crack in to the top 5 of some stupid race around a simple track in clown cars. I've already considered pulling the trigger and just buying a wheel and pedal set but that's a no-go right now, as it's a $200 dollar investment I just can't afford atm. Any of you lot really into this sort of stuff? I'm not sure if the wheel would be worth it but it sounds like an awesome immersive experience.

What I really want in VR would be Twisted Metal or Burnout. Give me something like that please,

I really love this game.  If you enjoy the OG game, definitely get the Following DLC.   As someone already said, this game gets 10000x better when playing with someone else, you can probably match make if you don't have any buds, but if you're on Xbox1 I'll play with you.

playing the ffx ps4 remaster. totally insane how good it looks??? still a super fun game that brings me back (to 4th grade lololol)

Still grinding way at battles on War Robots for mobile. Didn't think I'd ever get back into multiplayer until I picked up this game. So many gundam/mechwarrior/battle armors to choose from, as well as upgrades and weapon builds. It's a slow but rewarding process. Faster for players who are well-stocked on Gold though I'm sure.

Pretty much why I've set aside PC gaming altogether, at least for now.

Leftover $$ balances on 3DS and Wii U can be used on Switch eShop. No Virtual Console at launch

Fast RMX and Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove Collection now launch titles, Binding of Isaac delayed til March 17.

i wouldnt mind playing this with someone. i played it for about an hour but, like most games recently, didnt last long.

I cancelled my Switch preorder - gonna wait until Christmas to see what actually comes out (besides Zelda) and if there are any ltd-edition bundles like with the Wii U.

There are enough tentpole titles for me until the end of the year to justify it,

Zelda

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Splatoon 2

Mario Odyssey

Fire Emblem Warriors

plus like you said, whatever unannounced 1st party releases, digital titles and indies, which by the way will get a Direct type feature on Feb. 28

Yeah, but barring Zelda, NONE of those will be out anytime soon. Sure, there will probably be indie titles throughout the year, but those will probably be on PS4 (Binding of Issac: Afterbirth+ for example, Shovel Knight expansions as well), so no incentive there (for me).

Speaking of which, eShop will only have three titles at launch, two of which will be the aforementioned Shovel Knight expansions. Pfft.

MK8 comes out 4/28 that's only 56 days after release, that's pretty soon to me. eShop also launches with:

I Am Setsuna

Fast RMX

World of Goo

Little Inferno

Human Resource Machine

Snipperclips

It's a decent start IMO but opinions are like assholes.

MK8 is a rehash of a Wii U game I already own... so no dice for me. I probably wouldn't have re-bought it either, even if it was a launch title.

The indie focused live stream will be here:

Maybe something unannounced will surface?

Unless they get some exclusives (which by nature indies tend not to do, since they need to make as much cash as possible to keep making games), there's little incentive (so far) to get a Switch on launch.

Sorry to sound like such a broken record, but I just came to this realization and (to me) it makes perfect sense to wait.
