  1. AOE II HD is £3.74 today
  2. Alien Colonial Marines is £3.74 if anyone is desperate/stupid Hope the sale tomorrow is a bit better than this
  3. I can't decide on an all night session of booze with the England game tomorrow or save the money for the Steam sale. I'll probably do both and go on Steam pissed and buy anything and everything that's in the sale. I think last year I bought DLC (whilst drunk) for a game I didn't even own

  5. EA also don't offer physical copies to their latest games now so this will be a £50 download on Origin which I don't think I'll be willing to do and that will be for the bog-standard edition. I price this game at £24.99 tops under the circumstances. Whilst it is fun and something different; BF4 offers way more in every department plus we still have Dragons Teeth and Final Stand DLC to come which will keep people going who are willing to still overlook the problems way into the new year and beyond. I think Hardline offers something not seen before in the series but I don't think it should be integrated into Battlefield because it isn't part of the typical BF code. 2142 was decent but ins't fondly remembered. I still believe they've used the IP to drive interest and sales rather than calling it something like 'Cops v Cons' or 'Police v Crooks' for example. Although it's an alpha; it doesn't feel like very spectacular and in all honesty; it's more of a mod. £50 is a lot of money these days for a game and whilst I got my monies worth out of BF4 in the end; I don't know if Hardline offers something on the level expected in this day and age of gaming for such a outlandish RRP.
  6. Vaas was one of the most memorable characters in gaming for me. Just incredibly well written and performed. The actor was so good; they modeled the baddie on himself! The bases were fun and challenging although a bit samey and as long as you didn't alert them for reinforcements; it was a bit easy. I definitely agree with the bases being taken over again by spawning enemies just to keep you on your toes. Far Cry 2 was annoying because enemies respawned if you went out of the area by a few yards on the whole island. This was the biggest problem in that game for everyone as you spent 10 mins clearing the way only to come back after 30 seconds to find all the enemies had respawned in exactly the same positions. I'm glad they eliminated this in Far Cry 3 in certain areas but when you blitzed a load of bases; the island became soulless and very quiet indeed. The towers were just this weird puzzle of getting to the top by crouching, ladders and jumping up stairs and barriers. They become progressively harder but more tedious in time. Hope you don't have to do the same in FC4. Perhaps overtake a bases communications or something where you kill two birds with one stone instead of base raiding and then annoying tower climbing. I desperately want to see more of the island and not just the base which has been in the gameplay footage.
  7. I finished Watch Dogs and only did a couple of side missions and a game of chess before I stopped playing it completely. Great while it lasted but it didn't warrant the hype. The review scores the game largely received were fair but it's funny how so many sites in hands-on previews failed to convey the negatives until the reviews when everyone had bought the game. I remember the days when the gaming media were on the gamers side and were honest and transparent from the start. I think this and Titanfall were massive long-term disappointments and I hope Destiny doesn't go the same way. The next gen so far has struggled to keep people engaged in games and I hope the likes of Destiny and Advanced Warfare can keep the gamers interested for a good duration.
  8. I will probably get this on the PS4 as uPlay is totally wank on PC. I did enjoy the third game particularly the story but it was a bit bland when you finished it. The radio towers and taking over the bases were a bit tedious in time. I'm not 100% pumped for this game as it looks a bit samey but I am keen to explore the world and try out the new gadgets. It doesn't look like a massive step forward though.
  9. S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy is top of my list. I definitely think this will go on sale. I also want to pick up Crysis as I have the physical copy but can't be arsed to dig it out Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition, Payday 2, Dragon Age Origins, Borderlands 2, The Witcher 2, Saints Row 4, Batman Arkham Origins, The Wolf Among Us, Papers Please, Torchlight 2, Tomb Raider, AOE II HD, South Park plus a fair few more. Most of these games have gone in the sale previously but I haven't had the money to buy or time to play but I'd take a stab that 99% of these will be reduced in the summer sale and possibly for bigger discounts that previously seen. I love how you can pick up games dirt cheap that you know nothing about and they turn out to be a blast!
  10. I think it's one of the worst FPS games I have ever played. I have never seen such generic and dull gameplay in my life. The AI is horrendous and the mechanics are terrible. I died 16 times in 20 minutes on one mission and then went 2 missions without getting shot. The game is a complete mess and I wish I didn't waste £25 on it. Anyone that paid full-whack for it I feel bad for. Not even worth £5.
  11. I think it's Thursday 19th for everyone.
  12. New exclusive gameplay from the PS4 version
  13. Looks good! I'll still get this on the PC purely for the mods but it's nice to see the game in all its next gen glory and hopefully a few new features will be thrown in too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBkCB1zRIx4#t=18
  14. Graphics mod for the PC version http://mp1st.com/2014/06/16/watch-dogs-hidden-pc-files-improve-graphics-substantially/#.U59SbfldV8E
  15. Alpha has been extended for an undisclosed period of time and the beta has been confirmed for July 17th
  16. Just Cause 2 £1.99
  17. Looks like Schumacher is finally out of a coma and on the way to recovery. Excellent news. I'm not gonna lie but I actually forgot all about this for the last couple of months but news is coming through that he's off to rehab for further treatment.
  18. The Sparrow bike reminds me of the covenant vehicles from Halo and it handles just as sluggishly. I've actually been on foot most of the time as Bungie + Vehicles = frustration although the movement is a bit bland and basic.
  19. I was saving my duct tape for a special occasion as it's like gold dust and almost as big as bubble wrap in the UK but I may have to bit the bullet and use it
  20. 105 inch 4K curved TV will do nicely! Cost about £20,000 now but in 3 years time they'll be down to £999 when they're mainstream. We have a 3D TV downstairs that started off at £5995 and 18 months later I picked it up for £799 Thank god 3D was such a flop!
  21. Cheers! I've also seen that you can buy stickers like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Playstation-4-Controller-Light-Bar-Decal-Custom-Personalised-Vinyl-Sticker-PS4-/331183265899?pt=UK_Faceplates_Skins&hash=item4d1c0f986b and ones that completely cover it over which I may have to get.
  22. What is the point of it and can I turn the bloody thing off? If I'm playing with the lights out on a game like Watch Dogs; all I get is the controller reflecting off the TV screen the whole time. Can get a bit annoying especially when it's really noticeable.
  23. I kinda agree. I think Titanfall is the only shooter that has truly mastered the perfect control feel. It is just so smooth and flawless and feels incredibly satisfying - even better than COD and that's saying something. Destiny feels like an old Halo game in terms of the movement and the engine. The alpha has put me back on the fence as to whether this game will be worth it. Too many next gen games have died almost immediately and whilst Destiny may have some considerable longevity; I don't know if the community or people will be motivated to stick with it. Titanfall had the best beta I have ever seen and two weeks after release it was dead. Destiny has a lot more meat to it and I'm happy you can ADS unlike Halo but I dunno if it'll keep me engaged until Xmas. For all that I've seen through the hype; I'm still waiting to see where this $500,000,000 went. We shall see though..
