I'm a big PC gamer, and the Halo Master Chief Collection is an absolute gift, just played Halo 1 for the first time in about 18 or so years?? The nostalgia was crazy, managed to complete it on Legendary just yesterday. My god was it hard, they used to make games so much harder then than they do now, some levels were almost nigh on impossible to complete I had to watch some Youtube videos on how to get past certain bits. 

My best memories of Halo 1 was me and my brothers playing split screen and smashing the Warthog's into each other to see how far we could fly and how many flips we could do 😆

Hardest things to drive but so fun! Flying the banshees was also really fun, the game really brought back so many memories from my childhood and trust me it's aged really well, I fully recommend it if you have time to kill. 

I feel like us gamers have been training for this self isolation malarkey for years!

What’s everyone playing at the minute?

I bought Zombie Army 4 as a quick blast but not really enjoying it. Not much depth to it. Uncharted 4 is free on PS Plus this month. I never actually played this as I couldn’t get into the Uncharted games but I’ll give it another go. 

AC Odyssey at the minute, really enjoying it and I usually get bored of these games pretty quickly.

I've just been playing the new Mount & Blade, really good but gets boring really fast sadly 😞 

Early Access for you...

I re-downloaded the DLC of Black Flag. It’s good. 
 

I almost bought IV as it was sale for £13. The American was good but I always lose interest playing games second time around 

Dragon Quest Heroes. Basically it's a mix of Dynasty Warriors and.......well, Dragon Quest 😆

I'm also playing GTA Vice City. It's the one GTA game I never got around to playing years ago, so I thought I would give it a go.

Hardly any games out at the min. Real shame Last of Us 2 is delayed.

I'm more gutted cyberpunk got delayed, it was due to be released this month originally.

I’ve been clearing out my PS Plus freebie library, Uncharted 1-3 done and Bioshock 1 & 2 done. Just started Bioshock Infinite and the f**kers have put uncharted 4 up this month!

I'm playing it on Steam on the pc. It was released on PS3, PS4 and the Switch as well though.

Anyone bored of not being able to buy new games? 
 

I noticed that No Mans Sky was on sale in the PS store for £18 and was tempted. I looked into it more and found the developers have improved it a lot since it’s release and it’s got good reviews. By the time I came back, it was back upto £35. Not paying that much when you can get it from CEX for £15. 
 

Apart from that, I’m not playing anything.

I've been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons daily on my Switch. Not tired of it yet. There is something about not having an 'end goal' as such that keeps me playing. I'm fishing, catching bugs and donating to my local museum. It's very therapeutic after working all day.

No Man's Sky is finally the game that was promised when it was first released. They have tons of stuff added to it now and I've watched some Youtube videos. Still, I'm not going to buy it again. They lied from the start about the game and will not be getting my money a second time.

I hate these twee games, ooh sell flowers and buy a painting for your house....

I got my daughter it, I`m now fully addicted to it 😬

Anyone seen the trailer for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla? 
 

Looks very Games of Thrones!

Yup! Reminded me of Game of Thrones and Skyrim.
I adored Odyssey, I don’t mind that the AC games have moved away from the “assassin” gameplay and have gone full on RPG. Vallhalla will be a day 1 purchase for me.  

I tried playing Origjns but I couldn’t get into it unfortunately. Couldn’t get into the combat. Plus the eagle thing was weird.

I`m enjoying Odyssey though I`m getting to the point where I lose interest. I`ll probably go back to it but a Viking version is more to my liking, it looks really good.

Streets of Rage 4 is bloody great, so much fun and thankfully they stuck to the original concept quite well.

I also got that Jedi game its pretty decent, thought a bit linear and doesnt really introduce anything new. Its very well done though, very slick.

What, what, what. How old are you 12? It looks terrible. I am old enough to remember when ubisoft actually put time and effort into recreating the true history, where this is some trashy fantasy sh*t. 

 

A wonderful review of a awful trailer

Last of Us 2 coming out in June. 
 

In other news, my son is playing Goat Simulator. Such a stupid but addictive game. Amazing how some ideas catch on and make millions whilst others don’t.

What's this sh*t, any need to get abusive? Just because my opinion is different to yours

Replace Origins with Odyssey, tried it bored one night but it just increased my boredom. I find Ubisoft just pump out the same repetitive sh*te year after year.
