Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Spent an hour or two on Outriders last night. It's as if someone decided what Gears of War needed was a Diablo loot system and Warframe style space magic. I've chosen the Devastator path and what I would have liked would been some measure of a tutorial - not so much to learn the skills but to get an...

Re: Help me make an all time greatest comedy film list!
Taking the mention of Charlie Chaplin, I'm also going to add Buster Keaton to the list, particularly the earlier silent movie stuff

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
We've moved onto Little Acre
I was a little surprised to find that it's basically a point and click (and that my eldest not only knew the style but sighed when she realised )
Early days yet - it's not calling to me hugely but the world is intriguing, for now at least ...

Re: Books completed
I've been wanting a read that I didn't have to think too much and when reading over the last few months, I've been working my way through the various works of David Eddings - starting with the Elenium, then moving on the Tamuli, then the Belgariad and am on the final book of the Malleorean - so that...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Reached one of the endings of Call Of The Sea - still have a few collectibles to tick off and the other ending to view but an interesting take on this style of game. But rather than see that ending, the girls and I have returned to a game from a while back - Q.U.B.E. 2 . Another 1st person puzzler w...

Re: Warframe 2021
You can absolutely ignore the systems at the beginning and just potter from mission area to mission area - and it's probably for the best until you are confident in what your frame can do! Get to learn the basics of modding weapons and frames then start to investigate further options when you seem t...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I got through it! Like a moron I didn't use the Auto Health Chips because I thought they were just for automatically consuming your healing items without pressing the d-pad and circle, haha. I can't believe I'd been playing so much of the game without them! On the 9S playthrough now, except I have ...

Re: First or memorable platinums / 100% achievements
My first Platinum was a PS3 tech demo called Linger In Shadows - largely a video but there were invisible prompts in it that changed what was happening. FIrst actual Platinum was in the Prince of Persia reboot game (at least until the DLC came out) - while I prefered the Sands of Time series, I stil...

@ReprobateGamer haha I did wonder why the animation of her climbing that ladder was so long. Now I feel very naive! I got a bit worried about posting my rant because I don't want to come off as a Helen Lovejoy or anything. I mainly ranted because, like you, I think the game is so fantastic in so ma...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Thanks, everyone :) That's probably a better way to look at it. I'm so used to treating games like I do novels (play to the end credits, move onto the next one) that I probably approached a game like AC: Valhalla wrongly. I'm going to keep it installed and dip into it for historical fun when the mo...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Ha, this reminds me that I need to get back into Nier: Automata and finally get the last two endings ... just hit a part where I face a grind session or two on collecting items (not actually required to get the endings but I'm looking to get as many of the achievements as possible) and having to act...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I had been carrying on with Costume Quest on and off - and was on the final approach to the last boss - when I had to do a factory reset on the Xbox One to clear an issue with a couple of apps not properly updating. This was the point that I found out that X360 backwards compatiability saves apparen...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
I've been keeping up with Wandavision and really enjoying it. Have to say that I think it's got a little weaker the last couple of weeks but as was pointed out in another forum, each episode has set a high bar and is possible that the nostalgia for the sitcom styles is less for the more recent sitco...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Having completed Unravel , me and my eldest made a start on Unravel 2 So far, it's more of the same but the presence of a second Yarnie allows the designers to put in a variety of new challenges. The graphics remain excellent but without the memory collecting narrative I'm a little confused as to wh...

I'm in this state of limbo where I wanna play something but I'm working in Windsor all next week and my copy of Ys IX is still in the mail. What should I play? Anyone got any recommendations for like a 10-15 hour (or less) game I can whip off before I travel? Here's my backlog. https://www.grouvee....

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Tried out the demo of Immortals: Fenyx Rising. It's basically Assassin's Creed through a somewhat more family friendly filter. Or possibly Ubisoft try to widen the target audience for their open world format to more people. The demo actually does a good attempt at giving people chance to try out the...
