Two of the games on my list were pretty faithful movie adaptations, so I would definitely consider myself a fan of that type of thing, when done well obviously.

I really enjoyed Infinite Warfare's "what if the DoD directed The Expanse" campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Why have I never bothered loading Cities Skylines? Fucking hell, just watched some random on YouTube do a let's play a few days ago, and now I know how to start off a city I'm totally hooked. Even great fun playing with the boys watching and getting them to name the streets etc. Got what seems to be the better dlcs off CD-keys this morning, and will be firing through a few cities over the weekend. Just need to get beyond building some starting areas, watching them for a minute, and then starting again. Would recommend (although I imagine anyone tickled by it has probably played it to death) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would recommend (although I imagine anyone tickled by it has probably played it to death) I've played it a fair bit recently, I'm probably quite shite at it though, it's such an addictive game when you first get into the swing of things, you feel like a god, then the traffic flow complaints, then the worker complaints, then next thing you know you've not got enough cemeteries, bodies are stacking up, buildings are on fire, everyone is moaning about their taxes and nobody stops to say thanks for the thoughtful placement of the small park! Fun game though. Unlimited money is the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would recommend (although I imagine anyone tickled by it has probably played it to death) I got the PS4 version for free via PS Plus a while ago, but have never bothered to load it up. Sounds like it might be worth a go, have always assumed that console versions of these games are always watered down shite compared to PC. Been playing Disco Elysium on the PS4 the last few nights - it's really good but my old PS4 is struggling to even keep up with this, the loading times are ridiculous and the framerate is unsteady. Also I seem to have hit a bit of a lull in day 4, I have no idea what to do next other than to wait for some white checks to reopen but that is really tedious.

BFTD Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Had a hankering to play through Quake again for a while, but just realised that I never played the mission packs. I intend to rectify that this weekend.Worryingly, Steam says that I've played them for about 20 hours combined, which means that I've put them on, probably multiple times, and left them running in the background all day while I did exciting work [emoji849] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I play it occasionally on the PS4 and I love it. I always turn on the unlimited money etc though and just build build build. I am shite at it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I've been quite enjoying it playing without infinite cash. Any time I've used it I've just gone mental with roads rather than carefully crafting something and it's ended up looking like shit. Can see the allure though Edited April 30, 2021 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Started horizon zero dawn as its free on the ps store (need to search it), it seems decent enough but is it worth putting the time into it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it. People seem downer on it than they were 3-4 years ago but I thought the central premise was decent, story was good and gameplay was very smooth. World is stunning as well. Sequel should be class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit in not long into it at all (aloy is litterally just became an adult or whatever age she is) but the premise reminds me of the tomb raider games, having to forage for stuff etc I liked RotTR as it had decent action, didnt like SotTR as it was more puzzel orientated instead of balanced with action, hoping this is more like Rise instead of Shadow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't mind why I bounced off the original reboot of Tomb Raider. If you're in the mood for an open world checklist game then it's a good one of them definitely. They also have one of the best voice actors in the game, Lance Riddick, as a mystery man that crops up later in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Rise was better than Shadow Of The Tomb Raider but Uncharted 4 is better than both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think I care for the genre! The gameplay is marginally more satisfying. It's obviously better than the Uncharteds in that it doesn't have Nathan Drake in it, but that's the problem. There's nothing. There's a posh English woman saying Lara Croft a few times. That's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
