Anyone got on Battlefield V? I know the marketing was a huge failure but this is a real gem IMO. Best with a couple of mates in a squad so you can really cause trouble. We've been having a blast. Beautiful maps and good gunplay. One of them feels like you playing an episode of Band of Brothers.

Yeah really like it
Except every time I play Team Death Match always end up on the same maps
 
I was using a GPN with my uplay account for better pings.. forgot it completely that some of these stores have a guideline that if a person is using a vpn (in this case a GPN), the purchase won't be able to done. So I bought Wildlands on PC on discount. I was using my debit card and it got charged and when I was trying to add the game to que for download it is giving me "the store isn't available right now message".

What should I do? Contacted ubisoft support but they are on holidays.
 
After finally getting round to playing Tomb Raider, i completed it and then ended up just trying to complete the various sections of game. I finally decided to get Rise of the Tomb Raider as CDkeys had a deal for the anniversary edition on Steam, another great game and i'm already nearly finished after caning it over the festive period. There's a few more missions to do as it came with the extra DLC's but its good fun. Looking forward to getting Shadow of the Tomb Raider when it gets a bit cheaper. Btw i'm playing it on the Nvidia Shield using their beta of Steam, works quite decent although there are some frame rate issues sometimes but nothing OTT.
 
My son's got a gaming PC for xmas, downloaded Path of Exile for him as heard good things about it. Anyone point me in the direction of some other good PC games.

Online or single player, normally a Ps4 player so dont have a clue about PC gaming.

Don't usually get many exclusive to pc games, but first person shooters are better to play on pc, so the battlefield games or call of duty are good. My personal favs are the tomb raider, assassins creed or the batman games.
Get a steam account and you can download games and they always have loads of deals.

What kind of stuff does he like? Quantum Break and Ryse Son of Rome are two that are not available on PS4 and are highlighted time after time for their graphics, even now despite being a few years old.

If he prefers strategy games then football manager is always great, though won't push the PC at all, and galactic civilisations 3 and civilisation 6 are decent.

Oh and you can grab a free horror game atm if you have a gog.com account, Soma.

Check out “cd keys” online to purchase PC games, they tend to sell games far cheaper than on Steam etc.
 
Got God of War for my PS 4 a few days ago. Can’t stay off it truly wonderful game and probably the best game I’ve played on PS4 or Xbox one.
 
Finally getting around to replaying the Witcher 3 on Death March difficulty. It's unbelievable, definitely the best game of the generation. one of the best things is that playing it on the hardest difficulty doesn't just make the game annoying or unfair like a lot of games, but instead forces you to utilise the games incredible systems of potions, oils, research and the like that frankly isn't really required if you play on normal. You can't just hack and slash your way through a throng of drowners, you need to have necrophage oil, maybe drink some potions or decoctions, make sure you use the right signs all the time and dodge your way around looking to isolate one and take advantage of an opening to get a couple of hits in.

Every battle becomes an ordeal, a bit like Dark Souls but with more prep you can do. The only downside is the game takes aeons to reload after you die, which happens quite a lot on Death March.

I’ve had this for a while but still haven’t played it. I’m playing Fallout 4 at the mo which was another I’d been meaning to play for years but never found the time.
 
Well, CES was a little underwhelming for pc parts. Nvidia continue to price gouge, Intel won't have anything interesting out on the desktop and AMD on a GPU front haven't put anything interesting out.
That being said it looks like AMD are going to smoke Intel on the CPU front with the next Ryzen series, not too surprised by that though. Complaceny from Intel is eventually being punished
 
Backlog of games is horrendous right now, got assassins creed Odyssey for Christmas and think it will be next Christmas before I get to it! Though if PlayStation plus has another month like the last two then I won't be renewing and that will cut down the list a bit too.

Become determined to platinum Diablo 3, more a grind than skill, but never did do hardcore mode so starting that tomorrow.

Have to agree, witcher 3 horizon zero dawn and god of war the best AAA games I've played this generation.
