What's new

The Games we play...

I just finished another short campaign, one that makes Destiny seem long in Advanced Warfare.

It was a birthday gift, and I hate how multiplayer works on that game because if you don't spend 7 hours a day playing, you have zero shot. Campaign was more enjoyable than the last, although I despise the smart grenade, no skill but that's acting as if grenades took skill before.

The story sucked, obviously. Kevin Spacey was mbetter than Dinklage, but seeing how I got that for Christmas, I will be returning to swearing at that game for all its faults.
 
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is an absolute delight, hopefully the puzzles start getting really complex as the game progresses...

Smash Bros for Wii U is soooo much better than the 3DS purely because of the second stick...

Yet to play Shadow of Mordor, and need to buy Bayonetta...
 
I finally got Trials Fusion about a month ago, it was dirt cheap and thought I would get my monies worth out of it. I've not had much time with it yet, however I can see many frustrating evenings trying to even make it to the end of a course.

I also picked up Knack really cheap because it's the sort of game my Mum would like to play from time to time, will probably start playing it within the next few weeks.
 
Knack's fab Peep. Plays like a Pixar film, you'll love it.

Got my hands on an XboxOne with Forza 5 from Tesco for £260. Will let you know how it is in a few days.
 
I got Lego batman3 for Xmas.

I said it better not have all the bugs that were in the second one.

It crashed within 2 mins!
 
I received Smash Bros on Wii U and Star Fox 64 on 3DS. Smash is great, loving all the new characters. Will probably be playing this for a long time…

Star Fox is alright. The missions are a lot of fun, I love how there's always a lot going on. But the main story is incredibly short (you can beat it in like half an hour), and the minigames will only keep me entertained for so long. I do think there's a few more missions I missed out on in the story, but I don't think this game will keep me busy for a while. Great gameplay but it has little content.
 
South Park Stick of Truth. Got it for Christmas and about 5hours into the game in finding it an interesting one. Don't really like South Park but this game is amazing. 7.5/10
 
Anyone remotely considering Prison Architect should completely and totally buy it. It's fantastic, and the amount of new features they manage to add every month is insane.
 
My PS4 wouldn't connect to anything after the recent DDoS attack.

All of Sony's suggestions weren't working and I was getting really frustrated. Stumbled across some absolute randomers tweet of a suggestion to fix it, worked first time. Sony are a **** joke with their lack of communication.

This should fix it. Network>Set Up Internet Connection>Use WiFi>Custom>Choose your WiFi> In MTU, Enter: 1473.

Edit: PSN seems to be offline only for online play right now but the code will still log you in.
 
EggBoxOne is an incredibly mixed bag so far.

Pros:
# Controller is a massive improvement on the monster that was the 360 pad
# The retro 90s VCR look is wonderfully nostalgic, especially sat next to sexy PS4


Cons:
# Controller still not rechargeable as standard (it's nearly 2015 for God's sake)
# Downloading times in order to play games horrendous* (went out for dinner AND saw a film, still only 20% done)
# Homepage is a NIGHTMARE to negotiate, come back 360 all is forgiven
# Constantly feel like Microsoft are trying to con me peripherals

*We have 30MB fibre broadband, console is plugged in, yet still taking forever

That's the suggestion I found on twitter, works perfectly. Sony didn't suggest this once though that was my gripe.

"Restore PS4 to factory settings", "Power cycle your network devices" blah blah blah none of it worked Sony.
 
I need to catch up but have limited time - doing accounts again :(

I managed to grab Driveclub on Saturday. It was £20 second hand in CEX and after a few Blu Ray and DVD trade ins came down to the very reasonable price of £8 - plus Sony didn't see any of the money :p

Actually, I'm pretty shocked. The game is probably the best new IP/release title a console generation has seen. It's just a shame it was a year late, but it still stands up now (due to the fact it has no rivals on the PS4).

It's a massive pity the PS+ version never arrived as I'd have paid for the upgrade of it quite happily - or sourced the original if it was cheaper (and given Sony some cash).

It's far from perfect and it's a really odd mix of arcade and simulator. It plays like Ridge Race should, but with more of the handling of Grid without the assists on. So it sits almost uncomfortably between pure arcade and something that feels right. It's taking a lot of getting used to, but it's fun, challenging and it encourages replaying (to a degree).

I've invited a bunch of people to a CF club for when the PS+ version goes live so you can benefit immediately from club benefits (like cars that make earlier events easier).

It's just a shame Sony messed it all up, but the two free DLC packs add a bit to the game and make it probably the best £8 I have ever spent :)
 
Yeah I picked up Driveclub and COD:AW to keep me amused for a few days...

...I do seem to be spending a lot of time driving into walls or getting shot far too frequently though.
 
I've not been shot on Drive club yet, but I do keep going into walls on COD.

I'll invite you to the club Dave

Dave has rudely added himself ;)

It's £25 brand new at Game at the moment Marc, I wouldn't pay more now.

I don't know if you'll like it though, but I was exactly the same and needed living room racing (Forza 5 is in the bedroom)

Earlier today I saw Tesco (physical store) was doing it at £22 (or was it 24) - I paid a little bit more on amazon. They had a lot of the "big Xmas games" about £20 less than they were this time last week.
