What are you playing at the moment?

I kept at it for a while, but the combination of really slow-burn story and the ridiculous control scheme put longer and longer gaps between plays until I realised I just didn't care for it any more.
Slowest-burning game I've ever played. Really, incredibly glad I gave it a third go, though. The voice acting, the missions, the attention to detail, the story, the humour, the graphics...all top, top notch
 
I’m about halfway through Yakuza 4 on PS4 liking the 4 different playable characters approach, but finding it a bit slow compared to the previous games in the series
 
Oh, it's good. :thumbs:

Didn't play for too long tonight. Ended up having to manhandle (as in continuously having to push away) two zombies while trying to have a conversation with another character. Not sure if I missed a weapon, or if I should have sneaked by them, but it was a bit annoying! Also the control system (move controllers only) will take a bit of getting used to, but I'm sure it works well with practice.
 
Finally got a new pc so I’ve started Red Dead Redemption 2.Thoroughly enjoying it , reminds me of The Witcher in some ways, less cluttered than Far Cry . Regrettably I’ve shot too many people by mistake instead of having a conversation with them .

it worse on the xbox one the inspect button is very very close to the shoot button


oh look a nice horse , person or thingy


Bang "well sheeit" ..... Run....

you can increase the pace by hanging around camp a lot quite a bit going on


but sent over 100 or so hours wondering around going "ooohh pretty""

Yes only just discovered , aside from the Bear hunt , the other missions in the camp which unlocks a few things that make life a little more meaningful.

I played it on the Quest 2, so can't comment on the control, but yeah, sneaking about is the power move in this game. And not making too much noise.
The other characters are often good at dealing with zombies themselves - they've survived this long after all.

where quicker than me, you get a lot more of the character progression of each member of the gang if you spend a decent amount of in camp

rather than being off everywhere all little things

its make the game what it is which is crazy, they programmed horseballs that react to temperature so its just go so much little bits of depth to it :D

Tip The39thStep that I wish I'd figured out a lot earlier - always keep your dead eye and dead eye core as full as you can and use it as often as poss.
 
ok seeming as we have a few players od rd2 around, the one armed vet that wants to be your friend in the first town is suppose to steal someone from you

did not one notice what it was


:hmm:

Had another brief shot. I missed a weapon last night, so that explains why it was so frustrating so early. Think this is going to be a good game... though feel a bit sorry for those who don't have move controllers and so won't be able to play.

If the alternative is a basic game controller, I'm not sure that would even be possible without changing the game quite markedly.
That satisfying crunch of sticking the knife into the zombie's head, or the tactile meeting of skull and baseball bat - it's not easily done with button presses.

Not sure how they've done it with move controllers considering afaik they don't have thumbsticks...

Buttons to turn and move forward and back.

You're right - the move controllers add a lot to the game, but they do make some things less intuitive to begin with.
 
WatchDogs 2. Really liking it - good story, mechanics, characters - mostly stealth-based but you can just shoot up the place if needed.
 
I'm mulling over spending 15 quid on the ps4 reboot of Modern Warfare. I've had a shithouse few days and want something with a half decent story and guns, lots of guns.
