Anyone here a far cry fan? Slightly embarrassed to say I've never played any of them but currently downloading far cry 5 as it was £7 on steam so thought I'd give it a go.... hope it's worth the crazy dowload time!

Yeah big fan of Far Cry games. They’re really enjoyable games. Far 4 was the best I think but 5 was equally as good. 6 is coming out soon as well 

Standard Ubisoft game. Same sh*t every time but the story is generally enough to keep it interesting. New Dawn was f**king awful though - just an money grabbing game that one. 

Finished Watchdogs Legion. It’s not bad game but it doesn’t excel. Enjoyable driving around London but the missions were abit meh. Decent game overall. 
 

Far Cry 5 is only £6 but I can’t face playing another Ubisoft game.  
 

I think I’m out of ideas for games. Nothing is inspiring me. Might have to ride it out until newer games out

I played that a little while back. It’s pretty decent and they’ve built the different modes well. I found the whole looting and having to craft EVERYTHING abit repetitive after a while though. 

It can get a bit tedious but once you’ve got a few hours in you’ve generally got loads of the main materials.

Anyone been playing the Back 4 Blood open beta this weekend? Feels like a real good game. 

Bought Skater XL today which is a skateboarding sim. Not like Tony Hawks which is very arcadey and unrealistic. Quite like the simplistically of it and how hard it is to master. Not huge amount of content- it’s basically freeskate and there’s an online mode for freeskate as well. 
 

Been playing Hades this past week. 

Tough but fun. 

Game selling PS5s this morning if anyone’s looking for one!

I can’t believe even coming to the end of August, people are still finding them hard to get hold of.

A guy I know In America managed to get hold of one, but has to wait until the start of October to receive it. Maybe it’ll spill into Christmas again.

Progress for me has been fairly slow. 

It's a slightly more forgiving rouguelike in that you get to slightly upgrade certain things that will carry over onto you next try but in someone like 25 attempts I've only got past the 2nd boss once and swiftly died in the 3rd area. 

A lot of people have been saying that if you want a PS5, to phone your local Game shop (uk) and they’ll put you on a list. Doesn’t take long apparently. Worth a try.

Had a go last night, its pretty addictive so my half hour turned into about 2 hours ha ha. Only weapon I havent unlocked yet is the spear, but the bow was rubbish and I couldnt get to grips with the shield so gone back to the sword.

Funnily enough I've progressed furthest using the bow or sheild. 

Made it as far as the third region boss last night....Let's just say I didn't make it any further than that.

Then there’s me still happily playing my long old save on Football Manager 2010 

Just started playing God of War. Thought I would give it a bash as it’s free. How have I missed this game the entire time?!!

I think them sort of games were the focus is on story and gameplay is better than open world. Open world games need abit of a re-think. No-one of them feel fresh or exciting anymore. Too much filler in them. 

Get physconauts 2, its bloody brilliant.

They’ve all been downhill since Fallout: New Vegas! That game has it all!

It’s insane isn’t it? Such a well-focused narrative, brilliant graphics and exciting gameplay. 

Speaking of open world games, I’ve returned to AC: Odyssey. I want to get all the trophies so I have a lot to do! I finally defeated all the cult members today but I have so much more to get in with. Might try the the DLC. It’s great that it plays in 60fps now on PS5.
