I used to play Counter Strike: Source. Clocked up around 3000 hours and played in Australia's 2nd highest division, had a shot at some money. The better players back then raked in between $10-30k. I remember logging into the standard De_Dust_2 server and clocking up 30 kills with no deaths at times. All you need was a 3:1 KD (Kill/Death) ratio in order to be accused of hacking. So needless to say I got that a lot. Battlefield 2 was mine(PC) for hours. 2k hours on that. I loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 started RE4 on game pass, already done 0, 1 and 2 this year, 2 is probably my GOTY and I have fond memories of 4, completed it on the GC and PS3...I really don't remember the controls being so bad! doesn't feel right, the right thumbstick jolting your view around sharply is a killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 FFX-2. Waiting on FF8 to come out and then BL3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted August 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2019 Mostly No Man's Sky, Vampyr and Slime Rancher (nice relaxing fun that one). I'd imagine the PS4 remake of Ni No Kuni will occupy most of my gaming time as of next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a seminal title, a classic that defined a genre for the coming decade... But it controls awfully. I've bought it about 4 times over the years with the intention of finally getting to enjoy it, and every time I make it about an hour in and remember that I **** hate how it controls.

villa4europe Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 i cant work out if its just aged really badly or if its was this shit from the off, I can remember the fanfare that the camera angle change got, going back to RE1 and 0 felt like riding a bike, this definitely doesnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't aged well, but that's mostly because it was a bit of a compromise in the first place, trying to shift Resident Evil to a new and mostly unheard of style of gameplay whilst also keeping some of the classic RE feel. It's very idiosyncratic and if you don't get on with it, it's a **** nightmare to play imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's practically unrecognisable to the mess that was launched. Fair play to them for trying to correct the massive cluster **** of the early game but I suspect the damage has already been done for many people. Shame really as its absolutely terrific now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really as its absolutely terrific now Thinking of diving back in as I had a pretty long game going after the previous major update, but having loaded it back up after this update and finding that the base (with it's gigantic hydroponics bay for some of that sweet, sweet Albumen Pearl farming) I spent 100+ hours building has disappeared along with all the tech it took ages to acquire for my ship, I've pretty much lost the will with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Had a bash at Two Point Hospital over the weekend. It's almost (unsurprisingly) exactly as I remember Theme Hospital being. This is a very good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2019 Gears of Wars 5. Never really been a fan of the Gears series, but it's a very good game. Amazing value for those with Xbox Game Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me im getting too old for this yep since I finished days gone I think I've started 10+ games and given up on all of them before an hour renewed my EA Access account yesterday so I could start madden, will probably trade days gone for assassins creed when im back in England at the end of the month, wanted FF8 but im not paying £16 for it, will try gears 5 tomorrow but I don't like the series so not expecting much, death stranding in November is my next big game, not being able to play FM on my works laptop anymore is putting a massive dent in to my gaming too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got quite a few unfinished games which I just can't be bothered to go back to at the moment - Witcher 3 is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time it takes longer to download the game than I actually play it before deleting it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
