Far Cry 3
Gone back to this after a bit of a break. Enjoying it more now that I'm focusing on the story a bit more and pissing about less with the loot boxes and relics. Good to have them as a diversion, but strawberry float me, do there have to be so many? Throw in the shooting challenges, hunting missions, execution missions, poker, knife throwing, memory cards, lost letters...so much gooseberry fool to do. Anyway, it's still fun. Shame Jason is annoying and unlikeable.

F1 All Stars
Getting through this slowly but surely. Just playing one championship every couple of days or so. Enjoyable enough.

I wasn't a fan of that either. It was really slow paced and the story didn't grab me at all.

Goldeneye Reloaded - Xbox 360

I'm enjoying this as a one-and-done 6-7 hour shooter that retells the story but in its own way. The guns sound and feel a bit rubbish though, even big guns like the AK sound like a stapler. Plus it wouldn't hurt to have a little picture of the gun you're going to pick up on the ui because they all have made up names so I have no idea what a "Scofield 465" or whatever is when scraping around for something in a firefight. It runs smoothly 95% of the time, however it does betray its wii origins in the looks department.

The general tone of that game was quite frankly a mess. Like it was written and conceived by 3 strangers then thrown together. So jarringly inconsistent.

Enjoying this a lot more a second time around. I never finished it when it was released, so after replaying Witcher 2, i got the DLC for W3 and started a new game. Im loving just exploring, picking up all the ? markers, doign contracts, and dipping in and out of the main story. I even got into Gwent, which was something i totally ignored last time around. I strawberry floating love Gwent now :lol:


I think there's a mod which makes every major fight into a gwent match - if you win they just drop down dead :lol:.

Shame i'll be playing it on
PS4
as my pc isn't up to the task, so no such things for me.

Its actually every fight, but if you fight a group you kill them all in a single game.

Also don't forget the Pro Witcher 3 mod that lets you skateboard across the world:

Begun HZD Complete Edition. Very good, exceptional even, however after BotW not being able to scale all cliff faces in Horizon is strangely noticeable.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate

Enjoying this more than Origins or Unity. Still a bit of a collectathon but the strong characters, better-than-normal fighting mechanics, interesting setting and links to the other games in the series have kept me interested. May end being my second favourite in the series (after Black Flag).

Uncharted 4 : The Lost Legacy

Just trying to grab the platinum, currently doing the APC battle on chapter 6 on crushing mode.

Some serious legit hardcore bullshit.

Edit got a message telling me to stay behind cover. No gooseberry fool sunshine. Except there really isn’t anywhere to hide & if the bad dudes think they’ve seen you, then they see you regardless.

I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at this part.

Look :roll:

I’m so frustrated I’m rolling them again :roll:

Edit 2: Ho Ho Ho I have you now you little Jimmy

Edit 3: can’t believe that moron drove the APC into the building & killed me. One more go because I’ve just about had enough for one night

I'm playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Seems like more if the same. Not necessarily a bad thing. I see they've nicked blink from Dishonored as well. Good stuff. I want to play as a stealthy mummy strawberry floater.

Just started Aviary Attorney and it's great. The first, very short, case had me laughing a lot which I rarely do when when I read. It also had a very interesting ending and the investigation feels quite open ended which makes it feel different to the Ace Attorney games. I'm not sure if that's just an illusion that the game has cleverly created but it definitely felt that you could miss evidence which would therefore change future events. I'm definitely looking forward to playing more of it.

M&M 7: For Blood & Honour - Fancied some old school RPGing and M&M 7 is one of my favourites, so I have started it again this evening.

Playing Ghost Recon Wildlands with my friend again last night/this morning and the Predator story arc kicked in. Now we're the hunted...

Predator music from the movie. This is awesome, and surprisingly scary! :shock:

Today I have been mostly playing...Warriors All-Stars (PS4).

Bonkers, but a lot of fun. Going to introduce my daughters to the series, I'd think they'd like it.

Steamworld Heist - PC

Not sure how I got this, i think it was a humble store giveaway, but i'm enjoying it a lot - its like a much more accessible XCOM with the satisfaction of manually nailing headshots or sick ricochet kills. I like the hat system where you have to shoot enemies' hats off to take them for yourself, which also serves as a missed headshot consolation prize. I'm playing on regular difficulty so am no judge of it on higher levels but i'm getting my turn based combat fix from it.

Coincidence, I started this last night. Only played the first level but didn't find it gripping. Not sure if I will return to it.

Played a few hours and felt the same. It's ok, but it hasn't clicked for me.

Night in the Woods (Switch)

I've started the game evening, playing the opening hour or so, and my initial impressions are:

+ Great characters
+ Quirky script
+ Simple but interesting graphic designs
+ I'm taken in by the story
- The guitar / band rhythm mini games really aren't my cup of tea...
+ ...but the computer dungeon mini game is :-)

Early days but overall this seems to be pretty cool.
