Still soldiering on (slowly) through Deus Ex. Not that I've had to do too much shooting, but it seems very awkward and wooden, can't see me being able to take down too many people at once.

Which one, the original? While being the most dated technologically, it's also the best written story-wise...if not one of the best written games in history.

 

I succumbed to getting sucked back into Fallout 4, about 7 months later. The fact that there's a vast array of mods is key to its replay value. Not to mention it sounds like the New Vegas remaster (F4NV) mega-mod for Fallout 4 is supposedly nearing completion. I'm more excited about that than Fallout 76 TBH...as are most fans these days.

Mankind Divided, I've only played human revolution before and that story and game play I think I prefer. Speaking of FO4 I didn't actually make it right to the end, should do really. Feels like there was so much I missed out on. But yeah, 76 I'm gonna have to get into.

Mankind Divided was one I only managed a single playthrough on, whereas Human Revolution I probably ran about ten. So I feel the same way. HR had a better weapon selection too I think. Plus it was a story of personal vengeance, so you had more reason to go in guns blazing against the bad guys. Not to mention EMPs did what they were actually supposed to.

As for Fallout 76, I won't be hasty once it's released. But if the ratings and reviews end up being promising enough, then I'll bite.

I think the thing destiny 2 really gets right is the feel of the shooting 

don't care about the story or the costumery which mostly looks silly to me

I hope titanfall 3 is as good as the first 2

trying to play elder scrolls online, but i cant get it to work. there are missing or corrupt .dll files, but even after an hour on google, i cannot for the life of me get my pc to allow me access to system files so i can replace them.

Finally! Now, do I wait to get an AC-themed Switch, or get the Smash or Pikachu bundles?

 

 

AC Switch is the correct answer here. I fired up New Leaf on my 3DS earlier, having not played it for about 2 years - I had accrued so much interest at the post office, my bank account sat at 1,499,999 bells... so I paid off Tom Crook Nook and ordered a new room be built on my house 

 

Yeah, New Leaf is great, especially with the expansion and camping stuff.

Thing is, if I wait for an AC Switch, it might be late 2019 and I'll be missing out on all the great Switch games out currently and then some...

Might go for the Pokemon Switch if I can blag one.

Horizon Zero dawn

Almost level 40 now. Just want to get all the trophies really. I'm over the story line. Skipping through dialogue like a crazy hombre. I just lost interest in the story for some reason, maybe coz I want all those trophies?

But yeh, buying that map that locates all the collectables for me really made me happy and sad at the same time, I remember climbing up some random mountain and finding my first figure thingy and feeling good about that - but now I have this map ...really takes the discovery "ahh" moment out ...coz of the map ...

I reckon the design og the machines is really cool. Some beast wars shit right there (That show was rad)

But yeah hard mode is not hard, whistling and rock throwing my way through, couldrons are a bit of a standout (though repetative - kind of)

The world is really vast and ecologically diverse, some jungle would be cool though.

Has anyone got all them trophies for this?

Did you like the game, hate it?

Hugs and kisses to all.

Acheivement/Trophy hunting is such a pointless way to play games, take your time, enjoy the game... I thought the story in HZD was rather well written. Good game.

I wish I had the time only trophy chasing for me at the moment. But yeh the story didn't grab me. Two way street with this one I guess.

For anyone signing up for Switch Online, you can use your gold coins to discount the subscription fee.

Just get that automatic shotgun, upgrade the skills and headshot your way forward. Deus Ex Human Revolution did a lot of things right, just not the story, unfortunately, which is, for me in this case, of paramount importance.

Also, Steam has a beta Linux Wine related mode so I keep playing bits of Age of Empires 2, although as soon as I put the mode up one harder it's like 15 minutes before I get fucking wiped out. It's not possible to build armys that size and go through all the ages that quick. Cheating AI fuckers!

Invest in cavalry. You don't need a lot of units and they move fast, so they are some sort of a fire brigade. Otherwise, play the Black Forest map. Build stone walls on choke points once you reach Feudal Age. This will buy you time to grow your economy and army. My favorite are the Britons with their Elite Longbowman. An army of about 40 longbowmen, some cavalry to deal with siege weapons, and four trebuches is invincible even on hard modes. Get an AI ally, it helps.

Freaking love this game, and the story. The best on PS4 in my opinion. The story gets really strong as the game goes on. I got all the trophies except for a couple. There were four time trials I didn't do.

Frozen Wilds DLC is the best DLC I've ever bought by the way.

As for me, I'm still working on Spider-man. I am 89% complete.

dead cells is pretty addictive. hit a sharp difficulty spike in the clock tower though. 

lol

20 games including Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms (remaining 15 to be announced). I understand the kind of crowd Sony is aiming at with this thing, especially releasing it during the holiday season, but... the original carpal tunnel-inducing PS controller design? You can't go and include something like RRT4 and not have a DualShock controller. If any of the Wipeouts also make it on to here, it's a certified mess.

*hugs PS One + LCD combo*

^^^ anyone know the full list of games? everyone i've checked, they only list 5 but say there are 20 included

I wonder what kind of connector those PSOne controllers use? Couldn't get a clear look at what they've revealed so far...

In other mini retro console news, the Mega Drive/Genesis Mini has been delayed to 2019 as SEGA wants to get it right and do a simultaneous worldwide release, plus they dropped the developer they were working with (who was responsible for the horrible Genesis Flashback console) and have teamed with a reputable Japanese developer.

USB

Surprised to see Wild Arms on that list. I was under the impression I was the only kid that liked it when it came out. Still have my original copy.

Hopefully it will be immediately hacked

no dual shock controllers? (i know those came later but c'mon son!) and ac adaptor sold separately? (lol). 

also, salute to PS TV

Really? Those don't look like USB ports, but that would be pretty cool as it would mean you could potentially use them with PCs (although since you can use a DS4, why would you...?)

Wonder how long it will be until Nintendo has the Nintendo 64 Mini ready...

A mini PC Engine would be cool - it'd be hella tiny!

I think it's fairly likely this will be a pstv in a different case.

I really wish Sony would just add backwards compat to ps4 rather than sell us more plastic shite to go under the telly. I had a go on a mini snes at my mates...I thought it was shit. Shit idea, shit execution, pure trading off nostalgia..these things are destined for the landfill in like 5 years

I think you're missing the point of these mini emulators/consoles - they are totally meant as pure nostalgia devices, hence why the hardware is recreated, etc. - if they just wanted to release an emulator, they would have done exactly what you've suggested (and Nintendo sort of did with Switch Online and the NES games you can play).

Speaking of which, Switch Online has already been 'hacked' so you can run any classic games via it.

Vita TV was the right idea at the wrong time - I wouldn't be surprised if the PS Mini is actually leftover Vita innards repurposed... But more likely the PS Mini is just the bog standard Raspberry Pi-style mini PC with an emulator on it. It'll be hacked within weeks of release and people will be running all the PS games that should have been on the console to begin with...

Vita TVs apparently go for mad cash now - wished I had picked up one when they were on bargain bin clearance for 20 USD...

I'm glad I kept mine now!

i learnt today that dead cells is available as a physical edition. i bought the digital because i ASSUMED because it's an indie game that it would only be digital. fuck 

i don't know if i want to buy it again to add to my epic library. i'll think about it 

I predict there will be a whole market in the future for selling just the boxes for digital releases so collectors/fans can have something physical to display...
