Christ, I'd be looking forward to watching Death In Paradise too after that! I usually have something on as background noise while I'm doing something else. It helps me concentrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted May 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’ve mentioned this before but my Dad is obsessed with the farming game, he’s got 500+hour saves on each game since 2015. He’s so protective over it as well, the Grandkids aren’t allowed anywhere near it and he’ll even hide the game discs when my ten year old nephew visits. Can’t have that little shit spending any of his precious $$$! I see him every couple of weeks but our only text conversation goes like this. Presumably his last message is the name of a trophy or perhaps he’s just a big show off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Jim Bob Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) That sounds like my Dad who gave me years off "aren't you to old to be playing those video games" then in 2006 I was helping him set up his new computer and it had a free copy of Tiger Woods PGA Golf with it. I pointed this out to him and he seemed non plussed but I installed it for him anyway and he became obsessed with the whole series. Buying it and rinsing it every year. Dispite the fact he doesn't play golf, watch it on TV or like computer games. Edited May 8, 2020 by Cousin Jim Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m tempted to get it as it seems right up my street, but the reviews I’ve read online have been rather mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 Had a hundred coins on my Nintendo ehop, and a friend tipped me off to a game called Superola. It's a runner platform thing. You play a llama/alpaca saving the world's hamburgers from the alien hotdogs. There are a lot of "nods" to retro games and memes, it's a pleasant enough distraction for what amounts to a quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted May 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 Finished Horizon Zero Dawn after taking a 2 year break from it for some reason (I think I needed to uninstall stuff for other games so off it went)  Really enjoyed it, but it suffers from the same thing I hate in most other openworld games - when you open the map it's just overwhelming the stuff you can do. I basically just ignored everything and did the main questline (I was level 48 by the end of the game and the level rating thing said you only needed to be about 28 for the last mission).  The bowplay is incredibly done, and I liked the world. I hope HZD2 is a PS5 launch title because I definitely will be getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Never quite finished it (also probably needed to clear up some space) but I thought Zero Dawn was definitely one of the better done open worlds and I didn't feel particularly overwhelmed. Might be because I really liked the lore and the world building. Combat is definitely ace. Ubisoft games are probably the worst when it comes to being overwhelming. Bloody love AC Odyssey but fuck me now that is an overwhelming open world. Now I need to download Zero Dawn again but I'm determined to finally finish Valkyria Chronicles 4 before moving onto something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 I adore Zero Dawn, and I don't think I ever really felt overwhelmed, just because I was in love with the world itself. It never felt a chore to go exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pints Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Anyone played The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners on VR yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted May 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 To be fair, it might just have been me turning it back on for the first time in a couple of years and seeing how much shit I hadn't done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Anyone played Persona 5?  Considering buying it tomorrow, I haven’t played any in the series so will I be confused in regards to previous happenings and characters from the get go? Just looking for something time consuming before My Last Of Us Part II pre order arrives.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 Streets Of Rage 4 is pretty good. Played a bit with my lady tonight. Got to stage 10, playing on Normal. The combo system is nice. The challenge of only having 3 lives each is interesting. Might crack through it on Easy so I can unlock arcade mode and really start ramping the points up. It's not as good as Streets Of Rage 2, but it's worthy of the name. It's easily a s good as Bare Knuckle 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two things I hear about it that always put me off is that its about 130 hours long (even longer in (Royale) and that there's a bit where you have to look up a Japanese school girls skirt. Anything turn based is an instant no as well for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tempted by Royale but also money.  I don't recall ever having to look up a school girl's skirt though - did I miss some secret content!?!  Tbf some of the outfits are a bit eesh, and there are penis monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted May 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night is currently at half price on the PS4 store (£17.49) and it's an absolute steal. It's massive love letter/spiritual sequel to Castlevania: Symphony Of Night, and was headed up by a former Castlevania producer. I've been struggling to put it down, it's an incredible and a welcome distraction. If you're into your 2D platformers, buy it. If you're into Metroid and Castlevania (and dare I say, Metroidvanias), buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
