I don't know how far I amin, but I've had issue with some of the chase scenes, as the controls can be a little clunky. Overall a good game so far, I like the different characters and their missions.

I had a problem with the ‘mash X’ etc at first because I thought you only had to do it until the symbol filled up but you need to keep going after.

Been playing Overwatch and a bit of Rocket League again.

However, I'm starting to get the Skyrim itch.

Rocket League is fantastic, i have it on two consoles.

And Skyrim is a lifelong-love affair for me. Essentially an endless game, I love it. Trying to drag myself of my Switch version of it (currently at lvl 31) and play something different.

Just finished my first play through of Detroit; loved it although I took the nice soft approach. It mainly got my characters shot in the head repeatedly

Going to have another play through where I kill all humans!

My first one was a soft approach play through, second one through i did a few things differently and it made the endings a lot different. Was shocked at the difference between my first and second endings. 

#TeamConnor all the way.

I’m taking the Bender approach in my next pluthrough; Death to all humans.

If you want to play some rocket league, let me know. I have it on PC but I think you can cross play with consoles.

Been playing Skyrim on my Switch recently.

I miss having 50+ mods active, but there's something special about playing it on a portable in bed.

Every 3 or 4 months I return to Skyrim, its like a new game when you add new mods, especially the full story mods like The Forgotten City. Ive just installed a couple of new ones so will be playing it again soon once Iv finished the stuff im on now.

Mods or not, that game is one of the best ever made, it never feels old.

Just grabbed that Detroit,: Become Human.  Free so long as you sign up for PS insider or some sh*t, but you can cancel that, right?  I've got two weeks.

It's PS Plus, so you can play online and get the free monthly games and discounts.

If you cancel it, you won't be able to play the games you downloaded with it while being an active member. It isn't much a year and definitely worth doing.

Apologies if it's already been answered.

i don't game that much any longer, mate.  I"m thinking I'm going to just play DBH and then cancel it for now.

I don't know if you got the same result, but I tried to play soft and ended up with all the main characters dead other than Connor who had fought with his partner on the rooftop.  The Markus character was succeeded by North.

Have you tried the other approach?  I just want everyone to get along and for the Kara and Alice story to play out in peace

My first play through ended with Connor & Marcus dead but Kara & Alice surviving. Not sure what the outcome of my kill everyone and everything play through will be yet 

There is a trophy for keeping everyone (including some NPCs) alive i’ll need to look at.

Yeah, i managed to get Marcus killed, who NOrth then took over, and then Connor survived but helped with the android downfall, essentially after killing his partner.  Alice and Kara in mine got taken to a recycling yard and were both killed trying to escape.  I've hear there are a possible 45 different endings, and right now I'm trying to get to the "all good" ending...which it's cool how you can go back and replay chapters toward the end to get different outcomes.

 

To get the trophy for all being alive, you can't have anyone of the main or NPC's killed!

My first one resulted in Connor going staying against the Androids rather than joining them, Marcus refusing to surrender to the humans and getting destroyed and Kara and Alice managing to escape into Canada.

My second one, however, took a massive turn. I switched allegiances with Connor, and went to like a "Connor factory" and almost got replaced by a factory original. Marcus won the war against the humans and it was decided that they can live side by side, and kara and Alice were detained in a concentration camp and i think killed.

Second time out (and what I like is how you can go back into the chapters and replay them) I manager to have Markus lead a non-violent protest that meant Public opinion of Androids increased, and allowed Kara and Alice to escape.  I also had Connor go Deviant and then had him release the thousands of Androids from the factory after confronting the non-deviant Connor (which, due to knowing stuff about your partner, he helped you out on).  I also managed to keep all 10 characters alive, so won that trophy and had the happiest ending all round...which is good because the first time was quite depressing.

Overall a good game, but I've completed it about as much as I want to so will just erase it now.  But a week of fun I paid nothing for, is nice

Anyone played Inside? It's on gamepass so I gave it a go, played it right through. Such a beautiful little game. 

In Detroit if you get to Cyberlife HQ when being scanned and hearing the agents numbers there’s an Agent 47; aka Hitman himself.

Horizon is a phenomenal game. I loved every second of it and I hope they make a sequel! Graphics, story, gameplay, is just perfection. 

I'm thinking of picking up Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. I'm looking for a long, deep game to get stuck into which isn't Skyrim on my Switch.

I played Origins and enjoyed it immensely, and Odyssey got rave reviews generally. Has anyone here played it? 

Best AC game in years for me, the cult of Kosmos storyline and side quests really add to the game - my only criticism is the coming out of the animus to modern times. I’m maybe being over critical but I’ve not really been a fan of that since the Desmond games. I just don’t feel I have the same connection to the new modern characters but the odyssey game play is fantastic, it re-introduced the sailing & ship warfare which was so popular in black flag. 

 

If you have any interest in Greek mythology then it’s a must buy, I think I’ve ploughed about 80 hours in to it and not even close to completing the game.

I went ahead and bought Odyssey anyway. I am loving it. Greece is so much prettier than Egypt! And I am playing as Kassandra, always a breath of fresh air not playing as a male character for once.

I will say though, the game is a little overwhelming at times. I have SO many quests in my quest log to do, a lot of the time I don't even know where to begin. I've started hunting down Cultists and killing them. I have bounty hunters chasing me a lot of the time, got loads of naval missions to do, side-quests, timed side-quests, bountys, sync points, questions marks, forts and of course, the main story missions.

The game world is colossal, I feel like is Ubisoft's version of The Witcher 3. The side-quests are incredibly detailed and you can see they have poured their love of ancient Greece into this game. I don't see how they are going to improve on this. But then again I never thought they'd ever make a better game than AC II or Black Flag. 

The combat is a delight, too. My favourite thing to do is get into a fight near the edge of a big drop and Sparta Kick a soldier off the edge, watching them fall to their death. Never gets old! 30 hrs in and many more to go...

Just completed the RE 2 remake on PS4.  Lots of fun, and back to the good old ways of the early games: puzzles and conservation. 

Still churning my way through Days Gone. What a game. Incredible. I’m nearing the end I think. Just killed one of the biggest hordes which was intense. Fantastic game. 

Noticed that Wreckfest is out on Tuesday which I will likely get. It’s got good reviews and I love destruction derby type games - great fun. 

Anyone playing the PES demo? I won’t get it as I’m abit bored of football games at the minute but it plays really well. The new camera angle is good as well. 

Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox is awesome, but will be much better when it gets to PC and you can properly aim your gun with a mouse. Spent many nights just picking medicinal flowers and player poker on that thing. Hugely atmospheric and brilliantly made. Recommended.

You can spend so long messing about. Really high quality game.
