I was enjoying Fishing Planet on the PC, but then my friend bought me Red Dead Redemption 2...

Wow

RDR2 is one of the greatest games I have ever played, the pace and stroy are 2nd to none and the graphics in pc..... Man just insane

menamestom · May 2020

I’ve parked RDR2 for now but I agree it’s one of the best games ever. I probably dip into GTA5 a bit more but RDR2 is a definite step up in detail and realism.

Does make me wonder what the next generation will look like - GTA6 (or whatever the next one is called) on the new consoles, can’t wait to see that!

I've parked Project Cars 2 for the moment (see what I did there?!) and have switched my sim-racing indulgences to DiRT 4 for some rally action. I actually wanted DiRT Rally 2.0 as that is supposed to be the kind of rally sims, but that was full price on the PS Store whereas DiRT 4 is currently only £7.49.

Never played a rally game with a force feedback wheel until now. Wow, it's a pretty intense experience! A whole lot harder than with a normal controller, but massively involving!

I've played Project Cars quite a bit but when I got 2 I found it really hard to control. Need to spend a bit of time with it, perhaps I need a wheel.

Dirt 4 is really good, but I find the free modes a bit limited.

Wreckfest is decent of you have not tried that.

Are the newer Dirt titles as good fun as Dirt 2 on PS3?

I tried Dirt 3 but v. quickly tired of the silly stunt/circus trick driving. Much preferred Dirt 2’s tracks

guitargeek62 · May 2020

I just picked up DayZ yesterday for the PS4 - that’s a steep learning curve!!!

Quite fun once you get the hang of the basic survival necessities, though I can see it getting incredibly frustrating if it doesn’t change as you move through the map (apparently it does though).

For anyone else that has it, let me know if you fancy a game on there though, looks like it would be a good one to team up on.

I play daily..... On pc

COD WW2 now available free for PS+ subs. Other June titles to come next week but not announced yet.

FarleyUK · May 2020

Minecraft Dungeons on PC - it's basically Diablo (very, very) lite.

The series is a bit confusing, as you have the Dirt games, which are a mix of proper sim racing but with more accessible modes and events thrown in, and the Dirt Rally games (most recently Dirt Rally 2.0) which are more full-blown simulation games. The latter are brilliant if you like your driving thrills authentic, but not very accessible to the newbie.

I'm really enjoying Dirt 4 to be honest, but I would have preferred to get Dirt Rally 2.0 if it had been cheaper!

Anyone see the PS5 stream? Tbh, I found it all a bit underwhelming compared to what Xbox had to offer. Either way, I won't be getting either of them at launch – I think I'll get another Switch and stick with Nintendo for the time being.

dafuzz · June 2020

Dodged it - in a bit of a huff that it was broadcast in 1080p!

Edit: Anyway, I usually wait a couple of years and pick up the previous gen games for cheap in the meantime. Only had my PS4 3 years I think - loads of games still to play. Also got a Switch at Chrimbo which will keep me going

guitargeek62 · June 2020

Hell, I’ve only just finished Skyrim during lockdown, and even then I’ve still got some side-quests left to do! I think this will be the first generation PS that I don’t buy within a couple months of launch, I just don’t need it anytime soon! Besides, I only upgraded to a Pro in December.

TheMarlin · June 2020

PlayStation 5 just revealed.

https://www.theguardian.com/games/live/2020/jun/11/sony-reveals-the-playstation-5

Looks very smart.

I am fully back into Skyrim on PS4 as well! Ploughed hundreds of hours into it on the Xbox 360, but it has it's hooks in me again....

Fingers crossed EA don’t balls this up:

And if it’s VR enabled ... well no more needs to be said, really.

dafuzz · June 2020

Housemate's currently playing Death Stranding while I sup a margarita. 2 hours in

It's a bit grim. Do not like

stickyfiddle · June 2020

Slightly disappointed that new Star Wars isn’t going to be PS5. I guess it’s built on the same engine as Battlefront 2 so has been done fairly quickly and to similar levels of detail. It certainly looks pretty though - looking forward to seeing some actual gameplay.

I finished God of War and Ratchet & Clank since last posting I’m here. Both good, GOW really great. Not sure what’s next; maybe getting back into Outer Workds. Or Resi 2

Well you are in luck because it is VR enabled, with multi player on line!

Aye, but at least they’re not charging full price for a game that is likely a standalone version of the starfighter side of BF2! It’s the first game I’ve preordered in yonks

Eurgh, so another multiplayer focused buggy loot-box heavy EA release?

All we want is a remake of X-Wing and TIE Fighter!

TheMarlin · June 2020

I know EA are releasing a Star Wars shooter. It’s going to cost £40, contains no micropayments, I would assume that means no loot crates.

Forget the title, could be this one.

Edit: found it. Star Wars: Squadrons Confirms It Won't Have Controversial Feature

stickyfiddle · June 2020

They've said no microtransactions. So I'm kinda assuming just a ton of regular DLC that should have been part of the main game...

No loot-boxes, but yes - possibly a buggy launch, but that's become the norm for any AAA-led release these days. Still, they fixed it pretty quick and BF2 plays very smoothly nowadays so I'm not too concerned really.

As much as I'd love a re-make of XvT, it's not likely to happen again anytime soon. There's too much demand for a multiplayer game these days, plus they have to ensure it's accessible to console players and those who may be less familiar with more advanced flight-sim style gameplay. The X-wing missions on the BF2 expansion pack were brilliant, so again - I'm not too concerned about their ability to nail SW:Sqaudrons, assuming it follows the same recipe.

PolarityMan · June 2020

So I've stalled near the end of doom eternal. Just released the icon of sin so Im pretty close to the end..but for some reason instead of finishign that, or working on th 8 unfinshed songs Ive started during lock down I have instead started levelling a new class in diablo 3......oops

Howdy, Stranger!
