I've just started playing through doom 2016, absolute master piece! Cant believe I missed it when it was released, check it out before doom eternal drops in march; which looks to be even better.

I've got this on my shelf but never really put any time or effort into it and I loved the older Doom games.

May load it up.
 
Just downloaded Far Cry 5 from humble bumble for just over a tenner, loved FC3 but skipped 4, so far enjoying it, as ever some fantastic open world scenery to mooch about in and plenty to shoot at.
 
Started playing the new COD game. Never played one before and trying something different to the usual open world games I love. Got a feeling it will be a while till I’m ready for online.

I have this and though I found all the early dooms easy on extreme violence I found this one really hard of course that could be the difference of ageing 20+ years between the games if not more, having loved the originals doom, doom2 and final doom as opposed to doom3 it was infuriating how hard it was.

Has anyone tried the Final Fantasy 7 remake demo? I may have a go myself later this week, but my heart died a little when I heard that the battle system is similar to that in FFXV.

I've played it mate.

Absolutely loved it! I am a massive fanboy though for FF7. The battle system is great, a bit different to what FF7 battle system was but it had to move with the times.

Cheers, I'll give it a go later this week then. I knew it was going to abandon turn based, which is a shame as several other games have recently shown there is still an appetite for it, but I fear it's going to be the same repetitive style as the last major FF release.

I hated the battle system in FFXV, left me feeling very disconnected from the gameplay. Beautiful game, combat and the ending was a travesty. I hope this remake is different.

4 is excellent. Played it through then started it again right away!

am about 15h into 5 but struggling to get to grips with it.
 
Playing Assassins Creed Odyssey on PC. Absolutely loving it, however the maps fucking huge and it's all getting a little bit 'samey'.

Anno 1800 is also being played. Pretty enjoyable and chilled game that is really enjoyable. A little bit of Frostpunk in there aswell.

Any PC gamers chuck me an add: viciousscotsman

I could never kill that emerald fella in the ocean and I don't think I killed the fella in the desert either. Man I completed that fecker in the late 90s, them bloody chocobobos or whatever the hell they're called. Shinra, Midgar, sephiroth etc. Probably all spelled wrong and named wrong but a classic game
 
Just curious what everybodys all time favourite games are.
Mine would be:
Skyrim
Metal Gear Solid
Ico
Resident Evil DC
GTA 3
Medal Of Honour (ps1)
Technically the likes of RE2/4 and GTA Vice City took those games to another level, but all these where extraordinary games when I first played them.
What are youre favourites?

Zelda Ocarina of time (N64) Absolutely no1 for me.

Zelda breath of the wild (about to buy a switch to play it again) (Wii U)

Legend of Zelda, links awakening (gameboy, with light/magnifying glass attachment)

Goldeneye (game changer for console FPS. Building cardboard creations on the TV so we couldn't see each others screens in multi-player is a fond memory) (N64)

Perfect dark (see above) (N64)

Sonic/Sonic the hedgehog 2 (Megadrive)

Road Rash (Megadrive)

Desert Storm (Megadrive)

GTA 5 (PS4)

Wcw vs NWO Revenge (N64)

Diddy Kong racing (N64)

Mario Kart (they're all quality)

Alot of these are mainly based on the multi-player component. Playing games in a room with friends and family seems to be in decline. Sad really, as it's definitely the most fun you can have with games.
 
Goldeneye - N64
Mario Kart 64 - N64
Super Mario Bros 3 - SNES
Bioshock - PS4
Farcry 4 - PS4
Crash Bandicoot - PS1
GTA Vice City - PS2
