What are you playing at the moment?

So I quite liked the original Tomb Raider so I thought I'd give Shadow of the Tobm Raider a go. Wow, games have certainly moved on a bit! The graphics are incredible even on a PS4, would love to play this with RTX on a beefy graphics card. I think I have put in about 4-5 hours so far and might be about 3% through the game, think this might keep me busy for a while.

If that’s the first of the ‘modern trilogy’ you’ve played it might be worth picking up tomb raider (2015) and rise of the tomb raider as well. Both can usually be picked up for a fiver or there abouts now. It’s not critical to play them in order. There’s a few continuity points but that wont ruin the game.

I got one of them for free!

Playing a bit of Battlefront 2, and still enjoying Animal Crossing!

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Apparently I got three free months of Xbox Game Pass with my new graphics card - so I'm now downloading Forza 4, AoE2 HD, Gris, A Plague Tale, Superhot, and Dead Cells. Should keep me busy for a while.

COD:Warzone - A breath of fresh air after the dissapointing BF5.

I would love to play it tonight but guess what? Another 32GB update.

At this rate I'll need to upgrade my PS4 hard drive if they keep releasing updates this size.

I've been playing Deliver Us the Moon, Modern Warfare 2 Remastered. I like a bit of contrast.

Deliver Us the Moon is bloody ace, great story, really emotional, looks great, nice little puzzles, nowt too taxing though so if you want tough puzzles this ain't it. Come for the story.

MW2 is bloody brilliant, if stupid, over the top, action movie type FPS is your thing. Prior to last year I had only ever played one COD - World at War cos I like a WW2 shooter - and it was pretty good. Then earlier this year I realised I could pick up MW1 Remastered for a couple of quid (I'm only interested in campaign) and remember all my mates at the time really enjoyed it, so fuck it, why not? Again, really good, a couple of outstanding missions, lots of fun.

MW2 is like they amped everything up from 1 ... and it worked. Bloody loved it. Honestly one of my favourite FPS ever, I started it over almost as soon as I finished. Was really surprised!

 

[BristolEcho]

Is that the one where you're in the Ukraine in the wheat field sneaking past the oncoming German Army?

A Plague Tale: Innocence

Just finished this. Pretty short and even more on-rails than stuff like Tomb Raider - it's more of a walking simulator with some simple puzzle solving than a full game - but it's beautiful, well-written, and the thousands of rats on screen at once are very effective.

Installed COD Warzone more for the social aspect but I'm utter shit at FPS games online that require ultra reflex reactions. . Played 5 BRs last night and didn't kill a single person!

Try Apex Legends, I'm not doing too badly as a slightly drunk 40-something most evenings.

Stick with it and it'll get easier.

They've released a new Team Death match mode which makes it easier to rank up your weapons, near the end of the round when the circle is small the number of players fighting it out is just crazy

As someone who's pushing 48 (and after a couple of beers) I just play for fun rather than for a good KDR.

Just got the early access version of Hardspace: Shipbreaker. The whole premise is you are an indentured servant who has to pay off a ludicrously large debt by dismantling spaceships in low earth orbit, sorting the different varieties of scrap and what can be salvaged for reuse out whilst listening to music that sounds like it is from Firefly.

Only played it for two hours but I did not notice the passage of time.

 

[tommers]

I played the demo of "Fights in Tight Spaces", which is free in the Steam Festival thing. It's a deck building card game about, surprisingly, fighting multiple enemies in tiny spaces. So lots of moving them into each other's way and slamming them into walls / out of doorways. It is exactly my thing.

It's still in beta and i think they need to work on the balance a bit (i can complete the first couple of levels without being hit but have only saved the ambassador once out of about 5 attempts) but it could be really, really great. Worth a look anyway.

Bloodborne - Have you played it tommers ?

 

[tommers]

Bloodborne - Have you played it tommers ?

Yes. It didn't grab me like DS but it's still pretty good. Are you enjoying it? There's a thread about it on here somewhere I think.

 

[ruffneck23]

yeah it's cool , but yeah not quite the same as Dark Souls

I've just completed it about 30 mins ago , but I seem to have missed loads of stuff , didnt find anyone to send back to the clinic etc, much like my first completion of DS 1.

New game plus it is then , then I'm not sure what to do to get my fix until the Demon Souls remake comes out on PS5

Sekiro? Nioh 1 & 2? There's that other one too "lords of the fallen" or something like that.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I'd be all over bloodbourne if it ever dropped on pc.

As would ever other soulsbourne fan I expect.

 

[ruffneck23]

Ive done lords of the fallen multiple times , and I've got Sekiro but couldnt get on with it, may have to go back. Nioh 1 & 2 could be interesting...

Im just reading the thread on BB, had to laugh about your comment about gatling gun guy , and the healing church workshop ?? never found that

you can play it on pc , using ps now

 

[tommers]

I didn't know you could get that on PC. How does that work?

 

[ruffneck23]

just get the app install it ,better with a ps4 controller but does work with others ( but you need the touch pad really ).

Think its 8.99 a month , loads of ps4 stuff there , some only temporarily ( horizon , god of war ) spider-man is up there at sec but only for about 3-4 more weeks.

Must have a decent internet connection as it streams rather than being able to d/load to your ps4 as you can with some titles.

Nah. I couldn't justify a streaming subscription.

Plus part of the PC experience is the stuff around just the core game.

Can you Imagine the mod scene.

Played some more of it and it's really cool. Finished the demo and started seeing some of the choices you could make on how to build your deck. It just feels great to push one guy into his mate and then sidestep another one and kick him out of a door. Looking forward to it being released.

The last Birthday present arrived. Ohboyohboyohboyohboy

 

[fucthest8]

[fucthest8]

(Doubtless followed by a 1GB patch)

 

[fucthest8]

Well, 99.01 GB in total apparently

Since I was enjoying Apex Legends, I picked up Titanfall 2 as it's apparently the source material for the game. Really enjoying the single player campaign so far.
