PS4 question.

How do I go about increasing the storsge capacity? Bit of a pain having to delete a game everytime I have a new one. Theres hardly anything on there in the first place, only about 3/4 games.

I use a normal external HD. Just plugs into one of the USB slots.
 
Finished the Spiderman DLC (great story but the controls are not perfect - I even thought my controller must be broken and plugged in my spare!)

Now moving on to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, also on PS Now for another few weeks. My first modern Lara Croft game and so far I'm impressed, although they do seem to have taken the Uncharted model and moved to that!

That Humble Bundle linked above is fantastic value, if I didn't have FM 20 and a couple of the others I'd grab it. FM 20 alone you'd do well to pick up for £15. Gone to Rostock in the German league in my latest save, two promotions and in the Bundesliga now, and the gulf in quality between us and the rest is unfortunately very evident. Still, I've gone all Fat Sam and playing defensive football with fast counters and we somehow just beat Bayern at home 3-2 with only 17% possession.

You've had it now, they will plunder your club for your best talent whilst reimbursing you the sum total of fuck all.
 
DRM free copy of The Witcher 3 is free on gog.com if you already own it on another platform - steam, playstation, Xbox etc - and link your other account to gog via GOG Galaxy 2.0

Seems to work too if you once owned the game but have since sold it, as long as it still shows up in your library.

Played warzone for a couple of hours and yeah I'm pretty impressed

Very fast-paced(maybe too fast for me I'm 44!) Easy to ping stuff and switch weapons(better than Apex and Fortnight) and I like the way when you die there's a chance you can come back if your teammates buy you out of the Gulag. Got 3 kills in 5 matches so happy with that! It plays very much like a COD multiplayer game.

50v50 deathmatch is insane, don't think I've lastest longer than 30 seconds.

What's the benefit of paying the £8 for the battle pass. What does it give you?

I had a go on the 50v50 yesterday. Its really good, a nice mix between the small team multi player games you get with the full game (where i get killed to quickly and repeatedly - i'm 40) and the full warzone game. You can lurk at the back, pick of a few people before getting overconfident and pushing up where you get mown down very quickly by machine gun fire.

Having played this I don't see any reason why I would pay for the full game however Jnr plays the small multi player maps constantly. For him (and his mates) its all about unlocking new guns but as far as i can tell its only cosmetic stuff. All his guns in the loadouts are gold. This took him hours and hours of killing people to 'upgrade' them.

As for the battle pass - similar thing. You get some cosmetic stuff and other gamers will know if you have it. When I press him on why do you need it there is no actual reason, it does nothing for your ability to play. If anything having a bright pink rocket launcher makes you easier to spot (although your mates will like it).

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is good 7/10 I would say, but the previous 2 were much better 9/10. Shadow didnt have enough action, far too many friendly communal areas and way too much information to read.

I’m so glad I only wasted £9 on fifa 20, fuckin disgrace of a game, hadn’t bothered with fifa for years, now I remember why!!

Just done the same thing. Not played in years, but must admit to being impressed with the presentation and little things like sarcastic fan cheering when the oppo kicks the ball out of play or last man sent off and stuff.
But far too many goals come from Aguero, and not enough from Sterling etc, which makes it a bit predictable and unreslistic.
But I remember now why I stoped playing 20 years ago, the novelty of being able to play as Man City has worn off.

I had a similar rant last week. It's a football game that is great apart from, you know, the actual football.

Apart from menus and game modes I'm not sure the presentation is any better than Pro Evo anyway, at least you can tell different players apart by running style on Pro. Also, pretty much all of the goals on FIFA are identical.
 
Probably been posted numerous times but this guy's Youtube channel should be a go-to when buying games

TBF it's only 2 months later. CDPR have said the game is pretty much done but they want to test the game completely as there is so many mechanics and they want to make sure they all work and also to iron out any bugs.

I'd rather a company do that than to rush a release witch is full of bugs(I'm looking at you Bethesda)

It's going to be an incredible game
