Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted October 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2017 Been playing a lot of the Halloween modes on Overwatch before they disappear. Only got an Xbox One during the summer after my 360 died, but already the HD's nearly full of Games with Gold I haven't got around to, because I can't stop playing Overwatch.

Paid Members Weezenal Posted October 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 Got the Wipeout Omega collection. It comes three remastered games and looks amazing. If you're looking for a game you can play split screen too you should pick this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted October 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 Got WWE 2K18 off the back of a good roster and a load of new/old returning modes. Sadly the single player is the worst it's ever been, and half the roster are locked behind the new WWE Credits system which you can't buy with real money and take absolutely ages to save up for. For example a 5 Star match (which you can't do in 2 player unless you face AI) will earn you roughly 200-300 credits, but the cheapest playable wrestlers are 3000 credits. So you're looking at playing 10 matches for 1 character and there's about a hundred of them and you can't do it with your friends. Online is still a broken mess, Universe mode is still unfathomably pointless and complicated and has to be rigged by taking 90% of the roster out to make any sense, and the game promises a bunch of new features and modes and promotes "Be Like No One" but forces you to do things how they want it. You can get into the crowds but you can only walk and do punches, you can only places tables and ladders in specific places, you can create your own matches but only to very specific limited rules they have. For example you can't have a hardcore Royal Rumble or a cage match with weapons in, etc. This is the exact same game they've churned out the last 5 years except they put a huge roster in that would take weeks of non-stop play to unlock, which they say you can't buy with real money but is included in the season pass to unlock them all. They promise plenty of customisable matches but limit you massively, the controls are still slow and fiddly, often irish whipping in the opposite directions, not grabbing opponents and glitching all over the place. Huge waste of money. Don't bother. Doesn't deliver almost anything it promises on the box. Trading it in for Wolfenstein today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladiesman345 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Create your own match was practically something WCW/NWO Revenge was doing about 20 years ago, yet they bang on about it like it's something brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 They boasted about being able to pick up your opponent and carry them around, it looks like the exact same mechanic that was in SvR 200-something and was inexplicably taken out. Every year they seem to add a "new" thing they took out years prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladiesman345 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I only purchased 2k17 a few months back so I'll hold off on buying this until I can pick it up for about 20 quid. Even though I hadn't owned a console since the PS2 and Gamecube I still get the feeling that WWE 2k17 isn't a very good game, and not one worthy of the PS4.  I have WWF No Mercy for Android. That game still stands up. So much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 4 of us got together last night for drinks and a mate brought the game. He had everyone unlocked and said he paid for them, so there’s a way to do it. We played the rumble, but for some reason once eliminated it wouldn’t let us select a new character. I think it could be a decent game but will take a while to get my head around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitseleh Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I've been making my way through Sniper Elite 4 and it's heaps of fun. The gameplay reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 5. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you buy the £20+ Season Pass for the Accellerator like in the previous years, but there's no way to buy the in-game currency. So essentially unlocking all those characters boils down to endless hours of grinding against the AI or forking up £20. @Merzbow yeah "Ultimate Control" it was called back then, only it was better then because you could do what you wanted with the opponent and the physics were still ragdoll-ish on the tables, weapons, stairs, etc. This year it has 4 moves you can do it with and it's extremely limited what to do with them.

Merzbow Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 No Mercy is still fun but god is it overrated, but I think that says more about wrestling games just not evolving in general. Is there another genre of games that's grew so little? I've started the 2009 Wolfenstein reboot as I can't justify buying the new one right now, it's actually pretty good and it's a shame you can't legally buy it on Steam anymore.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2017 Any of you idiots who're buying the WWE games now deserve to get ripped. You should know all too well it's going to be a piece of shit. I am gutted there aren't any great alternatives though. Fire Pro is ok, but still...

Ladiesman345 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Would Fire Pro command a higher price on PS4 than it does on steam? I'll get it when it comes out but I wont purchase a game that looks like that at a normal PS4 new game price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
