542 comments on that Eurogamer review now; clearly the first game did something right.

I’m a bit conflicted now; we shouldn’t be saying, we’re ok with buggy messes, but it’s such an intriguing game.

And I completely forgot about Shadow Of the Colossus, Stardew Valley, Max Payne 3... Man these lists are pointless really aren't they :lol: "Here are 25 games I remember playing that I really like..." :lol: I’ve forgotten Bloodborne, though it’s not a high favourite for me. I was just thi...

If I ever get to 50, I think I will have maybe 5 in common with you :) 11-20 for me: 11. Konami's Soccer * 12. The Long Dark 13. Fallout 3** 14. Bioshock** 15. Miasmata 16. Knightlore 17. Stellaris 18. Red Dead Redemption** 19. The Elder Scrolls Oblivion** 20. Endless Space 1 * I asked my brother, w...

Comforting to see that now it will be resting in everybody else's account, not getting played

I'll come if Chopper's coming. And I'll bring my boxing gloves if he's bringing his. Should be fun! :lol: Haha! A meetup is a great idea. I don't think I'd be able to attend this year but I'd love to see it happen on a semi-regular basis. Edit: looking through the thread it would be great if it cou...

I was looking forward to it, but I'm not so sure now. The first game didn't get great reviews either, and I loved it. However I'm not seeing a whole lot here to differentiate it from the first game. I haven't seen it expressly stated anywhere, but some are hinting that the resource management stuff ...

I will kick it off with a top 10, just so I don't get overwhelmed. It'll probably be a blob of similar games outside of the top ten. I only came to gaming with the Wii, so recency bias etc. 1. Demon's Souls 2. Mount & Blade (2008) 3. Out of the Park Baseball (annual) 4. Dark Souls 5. SOMA 6. Far...

That's an interesting response, in that I don't remember the game being flabby like that. I'll have to keep an eye out if I manage to replay it. I think it plays into Flabyo's theory of a vast spectrum of tipping points for these games, where you break violently one way or the other due to amorphous...

Your indoctrination into the PC Master Race has begun.

Soon you will be maintaining a suite of spreadsheets to help you track crafting recipes, progression paths, tech trees, stats, roster management and so forth.

I've played over ten hours of Divinity Original Sin now on PS4 and still haven't got as far as I previously made it on PC. I have no memory of what made me stop on PC, so I hope the same thing doesn't happen this time round. I am enjoying it. I was possibly a little harsh on the rock paper scissors ...

Started Metal Gear Solid V tonight. BEST OPENING HOUR OF A VIDEO GAME EVER!?! Couldn’t agree more. It’s pretty fantastic. You guys are crazy. Thankfully it gets much better after that first hour. :) I think I've come across the Worst Mechanic in a Videogame*. I'm playing Divinity Original Sin on th...

2. I've fallen in love with using a keyboard and mouse, so it's about time I tried a real-time strategy game. It's a genre that's always piqued my interest but it just never happened for me on console. I'd like to try one of the classic titles (i.e. cheap and low-spec :D ) to pass the time on my da...

re: The Evil Within 2 I would just say that playing on Normal difficulty, the game gave me a fair amount of health, to the extent that I was able to absorb plenty of hits. I'd imagine the game changes significantly at higher difficulties, as your mobility is not great and avoiding enemy attacks rath...

04/05 Enslaved Part of my plan to play the Ninja theory back catalogue before hellblade. Not quite as good as the first time through. DMC next I like pretty much all their games (though I bounced off Heavenly Sword) - how do they hold up for replay? And no Pigsy's Perfect 10 in this playthrough? :)...

The Evil Within 2 (PS4) After a rough start, this developed into an enjoyable romp through a well-realised game world. There was a lot to struggle with - bad writing, ineffectual weapons, very gradual upgrades, and the usual hackeyed horror tropes - but I was eventually won over due to the strength...

Hmm, according to this , it's the second most common cancer. The fact that it's that common but confined to only 50% of the population means it has an inordinate effect on that population :( However, divorcing the actual cancer bit from it for a moment, it's more Corporate PR friendly than the other...

That's a shame. I had to look up that first mission to see what it was and, yeah, it throws you in at the deep end a little bit and could be a little offputting. I think I had to grit my teeth and get through it, though I believe you can run straight to the thingymajig at the end and avoid fighting ...

Yeah, I should say that I'd add 'in comparison to a PC' on the end of everything. I've played Out of the Park Baseball (another 'text sim' in similar style) on iOS and the place it falls down is the nested menus and the navigation. I vaguely remember playing a football management sim on the 360 that...

The first Ancillary was the best of them, I think. The next two get a little 'soap opera-y'/are more character focused. Are the Witcher books any good? I leafed through one in a bookshop once and thought the writing was terrible. It was possibly a dodgy translation/or I just got a bad 'un, but I was...

Reviews seem to be consistent that the controls are appalling: From God is a Geek: This is called FM Touch, but it’s not solely about poking the screen, (actually I’d advise against playing this using touch at all), there are extra menus to the left and right of the screen accessed by clicking the l...
