Is that actually enjoyable?

In its own way yes, it is just a farming simulator, like some would say what do you get out of a City building simulator.

Like I said it is good for a couple of hours, not going to lie that if you played all day it would be very repetitive as you just do the same stuff over and over again tbh

The biggest tip to get the max fun possible asap, is to sell everything you own bar a tractor and trailer as you need them to transport the crops you already have to the shop to sell, when that is done sell those as well.

Buy a wind turbine or 2 or as many as you can afford, stick them in the hills away from fields and put the game on x120 speed and fuck off for the day, occasionally log on and add more turbines etc.

When you come back you will have 100m in the bank and you can move straight onto buying all the good tractors and other toys and fields, saves pissing about with 1970's shit and 1 field for 20 years :)

Thank me later.

I think I'm finally nearing the end of Fallout 4. I'm deliberately holding off finishing the main quest until I've done most of the side quests, but to be fair, I've put a ridiculous amount of time into it so far.

It took me a lot of saving in different save slots and reloading to finish all quests for the three factions. There was no way i was replaying the whole game three times.

I have put in a load of time into this game but I am absolutely nowhere near finishing the missions, I have the main one paused on entering the institute and I have done a few to completion here and there, got the DLC and have just started being a Raider lol

But I spend all my time base building, which I guess is pretty sad but fuck it I like doing it, when you first get to build them you don't have the best of materials but then with the DLC and other things have appeared and I have systematically been ripping them all down and rebuilding them all over again.

I just downloaded a couple of mods the other week, I had never bothered when they first appeared but got sick of doing that weapon dropping cheat to build bigger bases, so got the unlimited base mod and the wonderful no electricity wire mod, the wires have always done my head in lol

Could not be bothered with the base building, just felt frivolous. I like collecting trophys and I got to 98% in this one. The one I didnt get involved bloody base building.

I never look at the trophies tbh I see the alert when you get one but now I have put a mod on it said trophies are disabled now, ah well.

Oh, can you not play them all through off the one save without them clashing?

No, you can play them off each other and piss each other off up to a certain point, then you have to pick a side to finish the game off with. Make sure to make another save at this point, because theres no turning back. Check online to see which mission is the point of no return for each faction.

Yea same as Skyrim.

Thank you, I will be sure to remember this time next year when my bases are all finished lol

I had Skyrim on PS3 and was about 70% through all the missions and then bought a PS4 and the wife bought my it again but I couldn't be arsed going through the missions again tbh and have lent it to a workmate last week.

Didn't realise you could mod that as well but obviously the same company and pretty much the same game engine running them as well, so it is no surprise really.

Anyone put any time into Monster Hunter World? I bought it on sale as I've always heard it's a gigantic, grindy time sink and that's usually my jam tbh, but as with most of these things, it's a little overwhelming at first when you try and figure things out.

Is it worth sticking it out and fighting my way through confusion to eventually understand what the fuck I am supposed to be doing?

Yeah I bought it in the sale 6 months ago played it for 1 hour thought it was shite.

Been playing Neoh 1 last 4 weeks really good bit like a souls game.

I played it for a while. It's pretty much as you said - a grindy time sink. Lots of weapon variety and incentive to go out and grind but I was getting a bit bored of playing solo all the time. You could summon other hunters in but they would often be vastly overlevelled and would make the game too easy.

Still play8ng modern Warfare and then doing the battle royal on Warzone

I'm not a big gamer but Warzone is highly addictive for me. Its the fact that you are playing 100+ other real people. I play in quads with random other gamers so that also gives it a quirkiness. You have no idea what approach they will take. You can survive a long way in by generally hiding yourself away somewhere but its boring and your squad will most-likely break up as some people want to charge around finding better guns and getting in to fights.

It all ends up with being shot, mostly for me I can kill 1 or 2 people at best before that so I'm pretty useless.

Won a few games on plunder, but thursday last week we finally finished 1st in Warzone BR.

Its a little frustrating that the games being overwhelmed with cheats and poor system in place to cope with the demand.

How do you cheat? Im lucky i i get one kill before being wiped out and more often than not i dont even know where i was shot from. It is very addictive though and i need to invest some real time into it if i want to get any better.

Cheating is via PC where you can hack the game and upgrade weapons so they auto aim to the extent little skill is needed.

As for being shot, you can see any bullets coming from in front of you so if you see nothing then you have been shot from behind. There is also the little replay where you get a playback of the view of your death from the person who shot you. Nice.

If you watch better players they never stand still and always look around. Whoever spots the other guy first has the upper hand in any gun fight. If you can sneak up behind someone and you have a decent weapon you should win fairly easily.

Anyone recommend me a good game for the ps4. I enjoyed Horizon new dawn, Red dead 2 but have finished them both. Any ideas?

Witcher 3 if you enjoyed RD2 and that open world kind of game. Also Skyrim was a fantastic game. Those two games alone will see youcomfortably through lockdown.
