What a game, I lost months of my life on it. Think it took me a month to understand gwent, but once I did I was hooked on it.

Im Hooked on gwent now, haha

Yes. It’s ok but you need to invest serious amounts of time in sword play to even hold your own in most sword fights. It will take you a while to get into it. I invested something like 20 hours just to get a bit of cash, better weapons and armour, and not get absolutely rinsed in sword fights, although that can still happen easily.

I was put off by how hard the lockpicking was. It's meant to be easier on PC

Probably still my favourite PS4 game to date absolutely brilliant.

In a nutshell and to expand on the good and honest post made by the previous poster....it's fucking shit.....they have tried too hard and therefore made it too hard for the average player....

Fully agree, don’t mind challenging games if you get a sense of achievement e.g the Dark Souls Series, but this is just shite.

Know what you mean.
It gets much easier at level 6 or so.

It was so fucking hard and they initially made it so you can only save when in your bed. It was fucking stupidly hard.

Thinking of getting my son a switch for Xmas and looking at a few packages. Curry’s doing what seems about as good as I can find and comes with Pokémon sword or shield. Anyone played it? Is it worth getting for a 9 year old boy? He loves fortnite and fifa which he currently plays on the ps4, just no idea really about the games on the switch.

Anyone played days gone on ps4? And if so is it any good?

Google Stadia getting panned by everyone. Poor launch titles, massive framerates drop, hardly anyone can get 4K ect. The general feeling is it's not nearly ready yet.

On a side note I'm on the Microsoft project xclould program and that works flawlessly.

It's a bit weird at first playing Gears 5 on a 10" tablet but I've had no issues so far. Constant 1080p and no lag. I've only had one crash in 3 weeks

Don't bother mate boring as fuck and I love Zombie & Open World games.

Don't bother. The most mind numbing game I've ever played.

Might have missed this on this thread, but what's the consensus on Death Stranding? Seen such polar opposite reviews.

Just got my download code for Shenmue III. Tempted though to replay the first two as well, but worried the dreamcast-era awe I had of these games will have diminished somewhat if I do.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Anyone got Playstaion VR or any other VR system?

What games are you rocking?

 

[foetus]

Finished Star Wars Fallen Order. Didn't want to give EA my money but I've been waiting for a single player star wars game.

It's a pretty decent game. Quite challenging on any difficulty above 'easy'. Hope it's the start of a single player story trend. Fuck online gaming.

It's okay...

Upgrading the bike becomes annoying as it has the fuel tank the size of a thimble, traversing the map is tedious, hoardes are not as fun as you'd think.

Story is cliched and predictable, but there are moments where you become invested in it and it's enjoyable. You can play it in 2 hour segments and you'd be fine, but it is a loooong ass game.

Fetch and carry.

A lot of fetch and carry. It is literally all you do, that and weight management.

World is pretty but pretty bland at the same time. Story is weird, and for Kojima that's saying a lot. Some will like it, others find it boring. I'm in the latter camp.

Cheers for the reply, a mixed bag from all 3 answers so still undecided

If it's your kind of game and you don't find that sort of gameplay tedious, I'd suggest getting it pre-owned or on sale at least. It does have some appeal, I just found it became repetative after the first 4 hours.
