If you're on Switch there's a similar game called Train Station Renovation where you clean derilict railway stations and can refurnish them if you want. There are more powerful tools available, but I've not figured out how to buy them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Bit of a serious plea for recommendations here. A bipolar friend was recently sectioned for a while, and one positive to come from it was drawing a line under an MMO they were spending too much time on. But the social aspect was beneficial and something learnt during their time on the ward is that they benefit from a routine. So I'm wondering if there are any decent MMOs that would provide that social connection but designed around limits to how much the player can accomplish per day - so that it's worth making a point of logging on, but not staying logged on for hours. I don't play online at all, so hope someone here more knowledgeable can suggest any titles that might fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be big issues if addiction and spending money is a problem though.  I play a daft match mobile game called Puzzle Combat. It has clan support, Wars with other alliances, events etc. These can also be very pay to win type games though. It passes 30 minutes to an hour a day for me but I'm not sure its right here for your friend tbh. Alot of MMO's are designed to be massive time sinks.

Guest Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Yeah, I think any where the fun is finite unless you pay could be asking for trouble. Thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It's weird seeing actual effort put in to these games, I remember when they were utter shite you'd find for sale in Wilko on that rack with shovelware games along with this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 6, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2022 There are so many reviews of that, and other games from the same publisher on YouTube. Got an email from Microsoft today telling me that they're discontinuing 360 titles as part of Games With Gold from October. I do wonder whether they're going restructure Gold/Gamepass into something similar to the way PSPlus has been rearranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 6, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Yeah, that's what they said in the email. Didn't stop them giving away games that they've already given away in the last couple of months, plus you'd think the purchases of Zenimax and Activision Blizzard would free up a few more options for them. Mrs Jazzy is quite keen for me to start Crash Bandicoot 4 now that it's been given away on PSN, but I know I'm going to be terrible at it. Edited July 7, 2022 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Got super excited at the GoW release date today of 11/09/22 as it’s the date that Mrs Danger and kids go on holiday with her mum for two weeks. A few hours later I realised Americans do dates wrong. Would it be unreasonable of me to demand they rearrange their holiday for November?

TildeGuy~! Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 There hasn’t been much I’ve looked forward to for such a long time apart from God Of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth so to get a release date for Ragnarok finally after all the rumours is great, booked a couple of days off this morning and can’t wait.

Despite it's 0/10 playability, a copy sells for around 100 quid. I found a copy in a retro game for a pound. I don't think they knew what they had. Most Phoenix games have a low print run, are utterly dire (apart from Hoppy) and are now quite pricy. Enjoy World Wrestling Challenge featuring no wrestling. It is a reskin of KO King.https://youtu.be/1mnQdpZ8y7A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2022 Interesting preview of the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC that arrives in the 19th. Looks interesting, even if it is just to drive around and see the views from up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
