tronic44 got a reaction from IRaMPaGe in Gaming on a budget
I'd tend to wait for games to go on sale, unless they were new releases that everyone's playing. I haven't gamed much this year, so have only brought a handful of games and they were all on sale.
The one thing i did do though was look at the PS games catalogue and upgraded my subscription to be able to play them, there were 5 games on there that i want to play and buying them all together would have cost over £100 where as getting the upgraded subscription was no where near that price. I definitely recommend looking through the catalogue and checking out the games if you haven't already.
In previous years I've probably spent a fair bit on games each year but all it takes is pre-ordering COD and buying another game and you've already spent close to £100.
The thing that'll probably set me back this year is upgrading my PC but that'll be for a mixture of work and games.

tronic44 got a reaction from IRaMPaGe in Gaming in 2024
I believe they called it Squadron 42 because that's how many years it was going to be before it's released. All jokes aside, that is a game i've been looking forward to for a while.
I feel like there's a lot a space type games coming out and i'm a bit spaced out.....as usual haha
I was looking forward to Skull and Bones but that games had so many setbacks i'm not sure how it will turn out. South Park Snow Day looks great, plus it's four player co-op which could be great fun. Loved the previous two games.
There's a couple of other games but not sure titles or dates have been released yet so will keep my mouth shut haha

tronic44 got a reaction from Riff Machine in FG Game of the Year
It is very frustrating but I liked the added challenge, I haven’t touched it in a while now and no idea how far along I am in the game.

My voting is slightly unfair as you'll see.
I voted for Alan Wake 2 because my company worked on it, Baldurs Gate 3 because my mate Neil won best actor for his role in it and Zelda because it's the only game on there I've played and it's brilliant.

tronic44 reacted to Luseth in Gaming on a budget
So with this new year I am thinking about my expenditure on video games, I am in a position in life where I feel I should have some actual savings, couple that with wanting to convert our garage and I am looking at where I can cut back some of my expenditure.
One of those is gaming, I spend money on retro games, I like to buy games & consoles brand new and I also have the PS subscription. So my goals this year -
- To not buy a single brand new game at full price
- To limit my retro purchases each month
- To not buy a single piece of hardware (with the exception of controllers / headsets should they fail on me)
My question to you guy's is how much do you spend on this hobby, do y ou limit what you spend? Are you conscious of the amount you spend on a particular game and the time you spend with that game?

tronic44 got a reaction from jordie1892 in What are your top 3 movies of all time?
Pulp Fiction! How could i forget that film?
It definitely makes it into my top 10 but not sure if it quite makes top 3.
Grand Budapest Hotel was a brilliant film, i love that style of film. It reminds me of Only Murderers in the Building.
A top 3 of each genre would be good, action, romance, animation, Xmas films. Then i can put Die Hard as number one Xmas film and have an extra spot in action films haha

There’s probably a load I’m not thinking of, special mentions also go to Dead Mans Shoes, Shawshank Redemption and Evil Dead Army of Darkness.

tronic44 got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Uncharted Series
I started playing the 4th game in the series last night, only played for an hour or so but really enjoying it so far. I haven’t played an Uncharted game before yesterday but heard that I could jump into this one without any issue.
I’m really enjoying the climbing and jumping mechanics, it feels really smooth but occasionally I did get a bit lost as to which way to go and did fall to my death once thinking I had to jump down.
I haven’t go much into the story yet as I haven’t got far but excited to see where it goes. Some of the cutscenes do feel insanely long though which I don’t mind but only if the story grips me.
