I bloody will finish Manic Miner one day

Waste of time doing that.

My advice is to:
find someone who has a PSN ID (who you can trust)

they (or you) buy the game online.

Then the other person who hasn't bought it logs into the purchasers PSN account, and downloads the game to their HDD.

Log out of the account and back into yours... You're then able to play the game for free.

Ethically, you could go halves on the cost of the game.

You missed out one very important bit. Your ps4 needs to have the other persons psn account as the main account and vice versa. and just be aware, if the game is bought on the other persons account, you can only play it whilst online and signed in.

I gameshare with a mate, have done since the ps3 era, new releases for £25-30 you can't compete with that.

Anyone played Wasteland 2? On offer for £15 on the Xbox store at the moment. I know its an old school RPG just wondering if it takes a while to get in to

I bought it on ps4 after hearing good things, never played the first but loved it. I wouldn't say it takes a while to get into, it's a bit slow at the start and takes about an hour to fully grasp what you're doing. I'd definitely recommend it. If you do get it, i'd suggest starting it and play it for aan hour or so until you get used to it and then restart it from scratch with a better unerstanding of the game as you're likely to encounter a few deaths to your followers early on which is permanent and will only make the game harder for you or you'll likely waste skill points in useless skills and/or overlap skills.

Elite Dangerous. Not played much lately however a new patch and Horizons and The Engineers expansions are out on Xbox One next week so will give it a go

Still 14ky out on an explore that has been going since September. These last 10 or so hours to get back are dragging.....

Just got doom and a 980ti though so that Elite may have to wait a bit longer.

Fps Multiplayer bods, overwatch is where it's at

I've dedicated so many hours into it! I was pretty good on the beta, but I think the big boys are playing now because I've been mugged off so many times on it.

I'm a boring old fart!

Cities Skylines with loads of added mods.

I've just got a decent laptop after spilling a glass of beer on my old one and so decided to login to my steam account. Reinstalled Civ 5 now that I have a laptop that can run it well on high settings. I forgot what a great game it is and now even better that it runs flawlessly. Bought Total War, Shogun 2 but not got into it yet but that looks good too.

 

[ono]

I might try this nice one

Takes a lot of learning to learn how to run plays but once you become familiar with the players on your team and what they're good and bad at, it's brilliant. Best looking sports game I have seen too and easily the best gameplay wise. Just requires patience but it's well worth the learning curve.

Come on anyone got a Steam account?

Come on anyone got a Steam account?

Yeah mate, Gamer tag is Mancunian Prophecy, not sure if you'll find me though, the steam account finder is pretty useless sometimes

The Total War series are great games.

Just finished Uncharted 4, absolutely gutted that it kind of petered out and the story was finished in 13 and a bit hours - just not good enough for a massive release at £45+

I'm playing a lot of NBA 2K16. As a sports game, the quality of it makes me wish we had a footy game which could get anywhere near it. It's such a well made game.

I might try this nice one

Heads up, NBA 2K16 is going to be on June's list of free PS4 games for PS+ members

New Fifa looks interesting.

 

[ninjamonkey]

The Fifa presentation showcased everything wrong with Fifa. A career mode that just isn't necessary and the introduction of managers that have absolutely no impact whatsoever on the gameplay. As somebody else rightly said, Fifa isn't a football simulator game it's a watching football on tv simulator game.

EA conference was absolute dog shit. Was excited for Battlefield 1, was hoping they'd be true to the era where vehicles weren't all that useful and guns were unreliable but watching the gameplay it's just battlefield 4 re-skinned.

Bethesda conference was solid enough prey looks promising and Dishonored 2 is looking every bit the game we're expecting. However, there was no evil within 2 or new wolfenstein as rumoured and way too much dlc for existing games. Just wasn't any surprise in there worth getting excited about.

Sounds like you've just summed up the whole industry atm.

EA's conference was embarrassing, it was a mash up of CEO bull shit about what they envision for the next 3 years, no gameplay trailers, hardly any game related trailers...... On top of that they tried to include diversity into their conference with all these charities they're working with, a Female protagonist in Mass Effect and the introduction of a random black player in FIFA career mode, yet still they're getting hammered about not having female soldiers in Battlefield, so that didn't work.

It was boring as fuck and all I got out of it was a 4 second clip of a Star Wars game being released in 2017/2018..... I got an email from Amazon today telling me Mass Effect: Andromeda is being released 31st March 2017, that's more information then I got out of EA's 4 minute preview they did on it.
