Picked up Shadow Of War last night for the PS4, played about 30 minutes.
Plan to give it a couple of hours tonight. Looks quality and has the great game play of the last with improvements, bigger map, better story (apparently).
There are a lot of negative reviews based around the mircotransactions on single player, its all unfounded. You don't need to get your wallet out and can play and earn points to spend the hard way.
Looking forward to Mario on the Switch this month. Still think Zelda is up there this year.
After building myself a decent PC I've just purchased an Oculus Rift. Wasn't impressed when I looked at it a few years ago, but it's come on leaps and bounds since then. Got myself Star Trek:Bridge crew to play online with mates soon, should be a laugh. Also "obduction", from the creators of Myst and Riven to those gamers like me of a certain era, is looking amazing.
What spec did you go with DRA, I am thinking about building a PC for my Flight Simulator as apposed to buying one.
Still can't believe they haven't released or even begun to make as I am led understand a new Fight Night. I know they have (EA) been concentrating on Poofc but there has to be a massive boxing market still. The last fight night was so good although I did have to trade it in due to RSI in both thumb joints!

I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 1600 and a GTX 1080. To be honest it's over kill for what I use it for now but will run games and vr at high spec for a long while yet. I've also used an RX 580 and that runs everything at high specs just fine. I just have the money available and don't plan on having to upgrade for a good few years especially if i decode to get a bigger definition monitor. I'm using a 34" ultrawide @1080p and happy with that but if I upgrade in the near future I don't have to worry about getting a better gpu.

I loved Shadows of Morder but won't be getting the new one unless in a huge sale in the future. I'm not gonna support the shitty business practice of designing a game to be an excessive grind in order to try and make people pay more money. Yes you can grind it out but that effects the immersion in the game and the story. Plus hiding the main/real ending behind an even longer grind which you have to complete, or of course simply buy loot boxes, is taking the piss even more. Shame, because it looks like a good game but I have my moral compass with games which includes not supporting a crappy practice, especially by Warner Brothers, one of the most anti consumer games companies out there.
Anyone else hyped for red dead redemption 2? First game is the best game I’ve ever played. Still put it up from time to time.
Absolutely talk about replayability. another is The Last of Us 2
My only concern is they massively overlook great single player (which has been rockstar’s signature) for multiplayer that they now know they can make an absolute bomb on. Iirc they cancelled a couple of gta 5 single player dlc because they wouldn’t make as much money as working on new gadgets you can get from microtransactions on multiplayer

Fully understand. However, loads of reviews from people that have clocked the game already and said it was similar to the last with no need to purchase anything. So I guess I will find out in the coming weeks.
Nothing will beat Star Wars Battlefield for taking the piss charging £40 for 5 multi player maps and no story! Wankers.

Nice rig, sounds like you know what you are doing as well.
Can’t wait for RDR2. Must’ve played through the last one three times now.
re. Micro transactions and loot boxes - it’s about mindset for me. If you can ignore that side, and find a way to play the game without touching the payments, then it’s still worth playing. Shadow of War looks like that’s perfectly feasible.
Sitting here waiting for RDR2 to download... It's beautiful was at a colleague's desk earlier and they showed me some gameplay they capped yesterday.

Dazz1er21 on Xbox if anyone fancies a game in future.
Let us know how it is yeah? I've been eying up that and FO76 (have some reservations about that one) but I just started a new project that is keeping me incredibly busy so I'm hesitant to get stuck into any game.
My copy is sitting at home waiting for me. I've got half term starting - wife will be at work, one daughter at Uni and the other on a school trip. Bliss.
The joys of being a young gamer and now married with 2 kids. So I put Rdr2 on last night and an hour in i hear crying upstairs from my 2 year old.. so I go check and he's sitting in bed like the exorcist covering himself, bed, furniture and carpet in orange sick!! So after stripping and cleaning everything and getting him settled my 2 month old then shits out his whole body weight! All I wanted to do was get back to shooting people in the face with a rifle and loot their bodies!!!
When they said this game was long they meant it. I’ve had a few days off so have been playing a fair amount and thought I had a shot at finishing before I go back tomorrow. Only 57% of the way to finishing the main story, let alone the rest.

TLOU 2
GT Sport
AC Origins
That's out soon, the first one was good fun so think it should be alright.
Played through Knack 2 recently, nice little platform/puzzle number. 7.5/10.
Started Pillars of Eternity after, only done a couple of hours so far but looks like it could be quite an epic.

I’ve only got AC Odessy yesterday so will stave off buying RDR2 until after Christmas I reckon.
RDR has my jaw firmly dropped. I am 3 hours in and I am still exploring the very first introduction missions.
Borrowed a projector from work for the weekend so playing on a massive screen!
I only got on at midnight so only 2 hours... If I had got on earlier it'd have easily been 5+
Such a fantastic game. Fortunately I have limited time to play this weekend.
This game is going to last a year, I can feel it already!
