General Videogame Thread

Sorry, should have been more specific -

Are we looking at a big map and detailed missions? Or just "go here and do that"

Map is big. Covers from Bottom of manhattan up to Harlem (slightly smaller than real life though!)

Missions are as you would expect, generally beating up baddies, but there are some follow and recon, timed, and collection type missions too.

Battlefield 5.

Like 1.

But with added WW2.

Currently playing Divinity original sin 2 on xbox. Possibly the best rpg ive played.

Amazing game, combat is great, story is good and the writing and voice acting is brilliant(apparently over 1 million lines of dialogue were recorded) the are some genuinely laugh out loud moments and each mission is varied. Its also a huge game. Spend 21 hours on the first map. Got to the 2nd map and its twice as big!

Game easily see myself sinking 80-100 hours in this

Watched a few vids on this. Looks great, there are too many games I want at the moment...hadn't heard of this until your post...

Anyone tried Strange Brigade

I met the lead designer a couple of times and have him on Facebook so I've seen a few videos and development bits. I haven't played it though, so this reply is rather pointless beyond telling you that I met a person.

It looks nice if you like that sort of game.

No Mans Sky....

Help needed. I got this on PS4 two years ago, it was fun at first despite all the criticism about promised features not appearing. To be fair I mainly just wandered around, or flew about. Its confusing for me (and don't get me started on Elite Dangerous!)

Anyway, it got forgotten as other things (work) took over and I read occasionally about updates and refreshes that brought the game closer to its original idea (base building/multiplayer etc.). So I cleaned up my PS4 harddrive, popped in the disc & did the updates - I think I have it as up to date as it can be but.......

I'm stuck.

I try to play a new game on second easiest setting (survival) and I just morph onto an icy planet - or an acidic planet. The view is now over the shoulder, not first person. I have no ship. I wander about for five minutes and then die from cold or poisonous air. Thats it!

Does anyone know anything about this, I so wanted it to be good. Or can anyone recommend a help site or instructions for the game in its current form?

Thanks

Spiderman lads.

Bloody awesome.

Not surprising. Awesome developers, glad they are back on ps4, had to buy an xbone specifically because of sunset overdrive.

Anyone tried Strange Brigade, unhyped but solid, fun game.

I'm just biding my time until Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out. Can't wait for that bastard.

As much as I've loved Spiderman this weekend, still hoping RDR2 blows it away. Cannot. fucking. wait.

Spiderman is simply brilliant. Nearly finished it now, will trade it in on Friday and get Shadow of the Tomb Raider which also looks excellent.

Spiderman lads.

Bloody awesome.

Console exclusives make me sad :(
The only negative of PC

Jim Sterling absolutely nails the current situation about loot boxes in videogames

Anyone think red dead will smash the number of sales of gta v etc?

I don’t think it will. GTA name alone sells copies. RDR isn’t close to being as well known as GTA.

I do think RDR 2 will be the best game ever made. First one was 10/10, so I’ve got big hopes for next months release.

Is there a worry about in game cash purchases to do well? Just saw something about there are 3 versions being released and the most expensive one (75 quid I think) has more content. It looks amazing, I just hope it isn’t full of in game purchases to progress.

That seems to be the new theme in the gaming world, robbing bastards.

Did you unlock all the gadgets/suits ? if so do we have to get 3 star for all the challenges? I find it difficult at some challenges to get 2 stars let alone 3 ...

Only one that’s blanked out (of the top of my head) is the suit that describes as ‘knocks everyone down in one including you’ got all the gadgets also.

I unlocked just by doing the challenges and getting tokens etc, don’t need best ratings tho it helps as you get it quicker.

I went around and collected all the backpacks, black cat hunt and activating the stations. Some more challenges come on after that but won’t say too much. Time challenge etc.
