Been playing the new God of War since it came out about 2.5 hours ago. Reminds me a bit of a refined version of Hellblade and Dark Souls. Smashing chests is kinda lame, but its a game. Whatevs. Wow though. Super impressed. Lives up to the hype so far. Spent about 10 minutes practicing parrying and got some nice loot to help playing at a higher difficulty.
The one continual camera angle in quite interesting and the art direction is legit. Hopefully the puzzles aren't too lame...
- If I've never heard of God of War let alone played it before, is it something you could jump into?dee-dubs
- ^ yep totally. The old games were great but this is a different beast. And it’s brilliant.MrT
- never played any of the previous, finally got a ps4 and this game seems like a good intro to the franchisejaylarson
- Invest in Platinum's games instead - they offer far better gameplay and combat.face_melter

How the hell have I not played this before? I've been shitting-my-pants scared all weekend!

Carrying on with games like Limbo and Inside and Planet of Lana, we’ve started playing Unravel, Somerville, and Firewatch on Xbox.
Unravel is so beautiful. The music, the graphics, the theme.
Haven’t played Somerville a lot, and currently really addicted to Firewatch. Anyone played it?
Also found this mountain bike game called Descenders and it’s fun but hard. Reminds me of the days of my Coolboarders 4 addiction in college.
- Unravel is lovely ANS beat Firewatch; great narrative and immersive. Made by Panic (who make Coda / Nova amongst other Mac apps).ideaist
- Played firewatch some time ago, it was a really great narrative experience. Loved the voices actors and the balance between routine and exploration.ekael
- Also, did you played Amanita games (machinarium, creaks, botanicula, samorost) great video games with cool gameplaysekael
- I'll check those out. Thanks!mg33
- Firewatch was amazing even though it became clear it was a rails sort of thing.garbage
- Unravel Two is even better than the first, If you're looking for smaller games from around that time: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.garbage
- Also: Hollow Knight. If you haven't played it, that goes to the top of the list.garbage
- Firewatch is a top-tier interactive experience with some great hidden easter eggs. One of a handful of games that got me emotionally worked up at the end.evilpeacock
- Lonely Mountain: Downhill is solid if you're into Descenders. More stripped back, lo-poly. It's both relaxing and nail biting at the same time.duckseason

Need advice. I got new Xbox pre-ordered. My current TV is a (amazing) Panasonic 2007 plasma 1080p TV. If I get the new Xbox, I would want a new TV. I would get a LG C7 65 inch OLED. We are looking at about $3500 for both.
Can I swing it? Yeah. Can I put $3500 to better use? For sure. $3500 to play video games. Be the responsible adult or say fuck it.
- Fuck it, you can't take it with you.elahon
- I like playing games but $3000 for a tv is crazy to me. Personally if i had 3k to burn id throw it into my project car. Still not a very responsible move hahaBabySnakes
- hope it's the xbox one x otherwise it's a waste of TVernexbcn
- that C7 (C6 is same picture, btw) is supposed to be insanely good ... go for it!monospaced
- The TV is not just for gaming, but its a by-product of the Xbox X. Doesn't make sense getting the X and not get a TV to support it. Still on the fence...ArmandoEstrada

getting closer to the game we should of got on launch ...
time to dust off the disk and give this game another go@9:10 one step closer to multiplayer
- I still have mine, but haven't played in ages... Is any of this paid DLC content or just regular updates?elahon
- Ah shit, this weas on offer on Humble Bundle recently, I wonder if it still is?detritus
- @elahon a regular update, no cash requiredBluejam
- I'll give it a shot this weekend, thanks!elahon
- the people that made this game listened to wayyyy too much of the new metallica songCygnusZero4
- 7 gigs for the update. I will need an external hd :(ok_not_ok
- I've been playing this for the past months and it is a cool game now, very different from the original launch, still haven't played 1.3, but it looks supercoolfeel
- 1.3 update. played about 6 hrs.
graphics look better. new missions and gameplay much better. more options. more space combat and on planet surface too.Bluejam - improved UI making a big difference.
best bit - went from a 600,000 credit spaceship to 10 million credit one. saved a fuck of grinding for resources/tradingBluejam - **Might** give this a go now.section_014
- Yep, time to dust this off methinks. But only a few days 'til Lost Legacy. FML.MrT

i've owned a ps4 since launch and still accidentally turn it off every time i try to eject a disk
- Haha, mine is on the floor so I always have to get down on my knees to see which button to push. 90's website usability in modern technology. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯SteveJobs
- I hate those fucking buttons, so now I highlight the game on the ribbon and press Options - then use the Eject Disc command.face_melter
- Just select the disc from the menu, hit Options and Eject. =)elahon

I pulled the pin on PSVR2, didn't pay full whack as I had a marriage-threatening pile of old consoles and games I decided to trade in.
It's an absolutely outstanding bit of tech, the eye tracking, 4K display, haptics, Sense controllers and general quality is a massive step up from #1 and other sets I've tried.
There are a few great titles and upgrades (Rez is still VR perfection) but not enough yet, so I'm gambling on future support. I also had a Mac Cube, so I have form in poor choices lol.
- hahaha i still have a mac cube, hoping it'll become an icon and make me rich....hans_glib
- I enjoyed the first iteration; however, the setup plus living in a small apt at the time meant it saw more time in the closet than actual use.duckseason
- : ) hans, there's one in MoMA so you're halfway there. Wish I'd kept mine! duck, same, the new one is just one cable, no camera - easy and stable.MrT

This fucking game, man.
Everything you see you can travel to, climb and investigate. No blaring object markers, no obnoxious lines telling you where the next mission is, no artificial blocks stopping your progress unless you talk to NPC XYZ. Absolute freedom. What other title gives you the time to sit and watch squirrels roll and chase acorns down a hill? Wonderful.
- wantset
- Did you take these? How did you get them off the switch?CygnusZero4
- Actually im seeing Link has the classic green tunic on, so im guess you didnt take these.CygnusZero4
- damn, I really should have been taking my screenshots with HUD offinteliboy
- also yes - how did you get these on to qbn?? be fun to share our Zelda pics.inteliboy
- Yeah, they're mine - I have an MicroSD card in my Switch, you can set it as the default screenshot save point.face_melter
- And the green tunic is the reward for completing a (quite fun) mission from a character you meet early on.face_melter
- You turn off the Switch, remove the card and hook it up with a USB reader to get the images off. No-one knew this?face_melter
- Well, you meet the character early but they give you the mission when you see them in a completely different location.face_melter
- Isnt this either the reward from the ocarina of time amiibo, or the one you get from completing all the shrines?CygnusZero4
- Nah, it's from a cooking mission :Dface_melter
- The cooking mission rewards you with the warm doublet. I dont think this is it.CygnusZero4

Herein lies a PSA for those miserable twisters out there who are thinking of indulging in the sick, almost criminal, activity of buying Mass Effect: Andromeda. Because I know some of you fuckers are. Don't lie to me - I can smell it. And even if you aren't - take these words as clumsily thrown-together and incoherent advice.
By the power pumped into me by alcohol and erect Cosmic Jesus, I warn you, not of indulging your fantasies and creating a character that looks like the girl at the coffeeshop or the friend you used to work with who looks like a blonde version of Françoise Hardy and every time you see her your heart melts. No. Society may judge you harshly, even punish, but I won't deprive you of those natural, human, urges. Just keep it quiet, boy - it's only weird if you make it weird, right?
What I warn against is simpler - to avoid buying this upon release. Life is fleeting and if you choose to spend money on videogames for your only source of happiness, then fucking own that shit.
In pursuit of some kind of floppy, human-shaped dildo aesthetic Bioware not Bioware have transformed the entire space saga into what now resembles the bastard result of when an episode of Terrahawks goes on the prowl full of wine and bubbling sexual menace and picks up a colour episode of Lost In Space from a street corner (NOT the peerless B/W episodes. Black and White LiS would never concern itself with talking carrots and silver-skinned space bitches - Allen lost his fucking mind with colour tv. Land of The Giants was some future-level shit though). Ahem. Right. Civil chit-chat done with and a price agreed, both go back to a decent motel and FUCK with a ferocity and volume that even the gods in Olympus think that someone is tearing the legs off a dog and call the cops.
The groundwork laid down by the previous three games, whether you like them or not, was a thrilling ride in the armoured pants of Shepard - a gleaming, galaxy-hopping, pan-sexual, robot-destroying fuck machine who had no trouble eradicating entire civilisations if it meant that she could get a handful of Yeoman Kelly Chambers. And by Christ she did. Until they were both sore. Evil was defeated blah blah blah and the galaxy collectively sighed in relief as Shepard became one with the universe and was transformed into some kind of flame-haired sexpot consciousness who had her eye on *everything* and *everyone*. Especially Kelly's gorgeous, pert, breasts and lithe dancers body and mainly when she showered. Watching as Kelly massaged the soap into her toned thighs, feeling the bubbles glide down to her toes. Eyes closed, her hands gently drift across her stomach towards... Fucking hell. Stop. Everything was right with the galaxy, totally cool - kids played in the sunshine-covered streets again, old folk danced with new-found youth, DFS had their sofas back on sale, The Strokes decided to kill themselves, and the Reaper's inert bodies were turned into glittering shopping malls and hollowed out to use as storage for ALL. THE. DEAD. BODIES.
Now we have a group of sexless potato head misfits who are bumpy in all the wrong places - with motion capture apparently taken from Bill and Ben and Gerry Anderson. This collection of waxwork atrocities travel the far-flung reaches of who-the-fuck-cares in their Lidl Normandy whip, on some desperate attempt to save humanity. But hold the fucking space phone! Shepard did exactly that in the previous three outings while these goofballs were in hypersleep, so the Andromeda team are basically surplus to requirements now. Why should we even care what fucking bizarre space nonsense they get up to? We could have cared if Bioware not Bioware had avoided completely fucking the whole thing sideways and turned what could potentially have been an interesting reboot into a parade of tawdry action encounters starring a cast of glassy-eyed sex dolls devoid of any worthwhile characterisation. We could have loved the new characters, we could have sat gripped as their grand adventure played out but no, what we have are mouths trying to escape from faces and dialogue with all the emotional impact of a shit-filled water balloon exploding on the face of a corpse.
Look. What i'm saying is that the game is a fucking nonsense and a piss stain on the ME games. The whole sorry affair smells like it was abandoned, restarted, and thrown together at the last minute because EA threatened to have everyone and their families boiled down into glue if it didn't ship on time. I'll still buy it and play it because i'm a silly cunt but that doesn't mean you have to. And for the love of fucking throbbing cock Jesus, don't buy Horizon Zero Dawn as a replacement - that thing should be fucking destroyed - more on that particular videogame prolapse later.
BRB. Thinking of Kelly Chambers in the shower.
- Im glad I read that.Al_dizzle
- is EA even fucking serious with this pile of shit?mekk
- Horizon Zero Dawn is pretty great that made this rant irrelevant!ernexbcn
- I am completely engrossed with HZD...MrT
- i just watched 2 hours of horizon zero dawn. man i want a console. gaming has gotten so goodjaylarson
- Not one of my best, I grant you. But I stand by saying Horizon is a bad game. Pretty, yes but oh so incredibly boring.face_melter
- It is an amalgam of all the worst things about games today. Hand holding for everything, no discovery whatsoever, map blocked until you move the story.face_melter
- You are given this amazing looking world and you can only explore the parts they allow you to. You can't even fucking climb unless there are yellow handholds.face_melter
- Not to mention the almost non-existent story, flat characters, and turgid dialogue.face_melter
- you are the only person I know that has played it that doesn't like it, I'm just at 20% or something and really enjoying iternexbcn
- I like bits of it - the combat is decent but the game itself is mediocre. Turn on your View-o-Vision to look for clues! No, fucko, let me look for myself.face_melter
- Sorry, but that Carrot man who turned Dr. Smith into a stalk of celery is way better than the black and white episodes of Lost in Space.CyBrainX

Enjoying 'Lil Croc Game', its very much like A Short Hike with its Zelda like traversal. You run around on a island trying to convince your older sister to join in by showing how amazing the adventure you are on is.
Very kid friendly and non-violent (unless killing cardboard monsters count as violence). Its on Steam and Switch so far.

- Got this for my 4 year old; a bit of reading BUT fun and playful. Thanks for the tip @Nutter AND price ain’t bad.ideaist
- Can also recommend "Alba: a wildlife adventure" which is all about cleaning the environment and photographing animalsNutter
- or 'Untitled goose game' , there you can also play along with your kid as a second goose.Nutter
- would recommend 'Untitled goose game'pango
- Done & done brother; Kirby next!!!ideaist
- + for Untitled Goose Game but maybe for older kids. Check out It Takes Two - it forces two kids to work togetherkoma_

- Very excited for AC VIscarabin
- DS2? Why? The mechanics were so irritating, I only made it to 50% or so before deciding I hated it. I can't believe there was demand for another.section_014
- Hopefully they got rid of the walking simulatorish stuff. I agree the mechanics were irritating and the vehicles were terrible. The cinematics were amazingkaiyohtee
- ...and they should have just made it a movie hahakaiyohtee

I had no idea you can do 3D animation on a PlayStation.
