Nearly finished the last of us on my ps4 pro. Really enjoyed it.

Anybody tried the Batman Arkham games? All three remastered is £22 on playstation, might give them a try after.

Fucking do it! Great series of games, with City being the pinnacle IMHO
 
Mafia 3 is available to download if anyone has psplus.

But it’s taken about 6 hours to install 40% of the game!
 
So a friend convinced me to try the Black Ops 4 beta (PC).

I've not touched this series since the very first WW2 one in 03. A mainly SP game with a great tactical mp shooter with large maps etc. Now I know the series has changed a lot since, but fuck me, anyone paying 60 notes for this new one....

What a load of absolute tripe. Free to play game clone, clearly their billions in sales haven't been invested on this, and yes, it's a beta, but can't see anything changing. It's Activision.

Prepare for the 10/10 IGN reviews then, paid for.

If you're on PC, Black Squad, Warface, for free provide the same game. Hell, spend a few quid and buy CS, Siege, or Bad Company 2.

Try insurgency on steam 6 quid it's quality fps
 
Finally got around to playing and completing Final Fantasy 15, weird game. I really enjoyed the combat and open world parts, which I thought I wouldn't, but the story is all over the place, which is normally the part of FF games that you know will be strong. It turns out there is an hour and a half movie you're supposed to watch in order to have any idea wtf is going on, which is sold separately. Crazy.
 
Got around to god of war and assassins creed origins finally, platinumed GoW and working on Origins. Good stuff, but I'd rank them below horizon zero dawn and witcher 3 overall for my personal experience of them. And news that AC is going back to a yearly release now isn't really welcome to me, from what I've seen on Odyssey it literally is Origins with a different wig on.

Oddly, found myself forsaking the ps4 recently to take advantage of playing championship manager 97/98 and 01/02, both of which are available to download completely free and legally nowadays. Got city top of division one (championship to us all now) with Kinky and Bjorn Heisenstrom in centre midfield as always, after twelve games of cm97/98, but kinky wants to leave now and can't offload Heaney, Russell or Nigel Clough. Ah the days of York away..
 
Telltale's The Walking Dead is out tomorrow, if you haven't played the 3 before it's definitely worth playing, not your usual game but worth it, you could probably get the other 3 for about a tenner.

01/02 is probably my favourite game of all time, put so many hours into that. I seem to go back to it at least every couple of years. How different is 97/98 btw? It wwas before I got a computer so I do fear the lack of nostalgia might make me struggle to overlook it's deficiencies a bit

I'd say that and 01/02 are seen as the classic championship managers. It's not dissimilar to 01/02 but minus the training, team tactics and a more primitive interface. The match engine is almost identical bit for players stats there are less (maybe not a bad thing) and the only changeable attributes in game are strength and stamina iirc and they just change with age.

Just trying to remember the classic guys to sign on 01/02 now... Agohowa or something from shaktar was always a good one.

Aye good old Julius Aghahowa, I remember him rocking up at some premier league team years later and being shit. A bit like Emile Mpenza when he signed for us, it turned out he wasn't the all round beast he is on 01/02. Cherno Samba never amounted to much either sadly
