Re: Games Completed 2024
(Jan) Battlefield 3 - Series X. (Jan) Hi-Fi Rush - Series X. What did you think of Hi Fi Rush? Was going through the motions with it at the start, just didnt hook me when i played it last year. Ended up enjoying it till i think it was level 9 or 10 where The Prodigy tune kicked in. This elevated th...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Finished Poker Face last night, it was consistently great throughout its 10 episodes. Now I'm moving onto The Bear and Culprits, both on Disney plus but will also be making time each week for the new series of True Detective which has been getting stellar reviews.

Re: Formula One
Gunther Steiner, team principal at Haas has left :( The news surprised me as I read his book last year and it seemed he was very close with the team owner Gene Haas and he has brought a lot of publicity to the team with his unique personality. I think it's harsh too as Haas seem to have had more bad...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Society of the Snow First film of the year watched in Society of the Snow which has just launched on Netflix. It's a Spanish subtitled film telling the true story of the Uruguayan 1972 Andes flight disaster. It's an incredibly bleak film to the point where it is verging on horror as you see the len...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I started Invisible Inc as I was wanting a turn based tactics game. There's a lot I like about it in that it's a unique spin on the genre with you playing as spys infiltrating various places and there isn't combat to speak of unlike other games in the genre. You're mostly hiding and hacking and knoc...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Been playing some of The Crew lately I've been really enjoying The Crew Motorsport which came out last year. It's very different in tone to the first game and has no story to speak of which are both positives in my book. It's very much going for that Forza Horizon festival feel but I think I slight...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Trying to catch up on some shows from 2023 and started Pokerface and it has been excellent. If you haven't heard of it, it's a show written by Rian Johnson of Knives Out and Glass Onion fame. Like those films, it is a murder mystery show except that you see at the start of the episode who has done t...

Re: Mental Health
Last year wasn't a great one for me. I got a new job and moved to a new country, and while my living situation is fine (though a little isolating), I really don't like the job I'm doing and especially the company I work for. To add more to this, my mum died a few months into the job, which meant I ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I totally unexpectedly got a PS5 for Christmas with Spiderman 2 and EAFC 24. I've not made a proper start on Spidey yet (although the kids have finished it!) but been replaying 2018's God Of War. I forgot how satisfying and weighty the combat was in that game. That axe lands with a heft that you do...

Re: Games Completed 2024
Jan 4th - Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS5) As I said in the BPP Discord to you, I had the game breaking bug near the end. But I would agree with you that despite that bug, this was my favourite of the reboot series. It did feel like it was the one most like the original games. I thought some of the ...

Re: Games Completed 2024
1. Super Mario Wonder Simply put, one of the best 2D platformers I've ever played and definitely my favourite 2D Mario game. From start to finish every level was a delight to play. The wonder seeds add some great spice to levels and the new abilities were mostly great (there was only really the bub...

Re: 2023 Top Ten
I usually pick up games a while after they're released, so I haven't actually finished any 2023 games yet. I am playing Final Fantasy XVI and Super Mario Bros Wonder at the moment though. 2023 was a very slow year for me anyway, i only finished 19 games, compared to my 25-35 norm, and that included...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Oppenheimer If I’m honest it didn’t really click with me, not by any stretch saying it’s bad as it’s definitely more me than the film but I just found it hard to keep up with over its mammoth running time. It was worth it for the Trident Test explosion scene though. I think it was perhaps just a bi...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Over the weekend I watched the final 2 David Fincher movies I hadn't seen in Zodiac and Panic Room. Both were brilliant. Zodiac in particular just cemented to me that Fincher is at his best when doing crime/murder mystery. What with Zodiac, Seven, Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Mindh...

Re: Games Completed 2023
Would you reccomend jumping straight to this or playing the first game first?
