Other than that, it's really fun!

Dark Souls on the switch, looks good, plays well, is hard.

I've not played it in 6 years and wasn't good then.

Gone for a pyro/strength build and was doing fine until I met Havel (my parry timing is waaay out) then the fucking Taurus demon brapped me 3 times before I realised I was mid rolling. Dropped my spare weapon and switched to starting armour, beast went down.

Then my train was at my station and I had to get off.

I kinda like the keyboard if I'm honest. The headphones and mouse though are a particular affront to my eyes.

Love my Steelseries roll up mouse surface. For all those LAN parties I go to :/

Havel is easy.
Run up the stairs, jump down. Repeat

He'll follow and take damage at each jump.

You then get his awesome ring. No more fat rolling

Red dead week is upon us people.

Time to move my xbox out of the living room and into my bedroom so I can spend more time playing it away from housemates.

I'm repeating myself but it is really pissing me off that the download for RDR2 is ten quid more than the physical copy. fucking why?

Because people pay it

If digital sales had never taken off at those prices, we may have had a say in how the market develops but digital sales are overtaking physical on all platforms despite the price difference.

It's too late.

how likely is it retailers like sainsburys or pc world will have it in stock when they open on release day? amazon deliveries don't arrive til 10pm sometimes.

I imagine it'll be pretty easy to get copies on release day.

When you add in places like argos, game, tesco etc etc, it'll be everywhere.

but i'm lazy and those are the two closest places to the wilderness of mordor.

There's a chance copies may be hard to come by

Just buy it from ShopTo and it will arrive on release day

Or just pay the digital tax and start playing it from midnight

Mines already downloaded and ready to go...

I'm repeating myself but it is really pissing me off that the download for RDR2 is ten quid more than the physical copy. fucking why?

You would have thought prices should come down fairly quickly once publishers no longer have to distribute via 2 mediums, no?

I feel I'm being extremely naïve...

Is there a preferred version of FIFA on the PS4?
Don't want to spunk £50 on the newest one, but am older version would be ideal. And they cost pennies in used game shops.

Suppose I could pick up all the old ones and see what's best and still have change from a fiver...

Last years is already a tenner in CEX

I was sent a 30% off voucher for the new one you can have if you want? Has to be used by tomorrow.

@bt, Thanks, but I'm probably only going to play it briefly, and don't want to spend much on it.

@sumo, is 18 that much better than 15/16/17?
I have no intention of online matches, just a pick up and play a match or 2 between Spider-Man/ dark souls 3 sessions.

No idea, the last one I owned was 09. I've been thinking about picking up last years one too.

FIFA 18 is £8 pre owned on Game website, unsure if in-store is the same price, but might be what I go for

Edit, £6 on eBay, can't complain.

No worries. If anyone else wants it, let me know.

Does anyone have any recommendations on old skool multiplayer games similar to micro machines? it seems hard to find fun and massively playable games for the ps4 for when the girlies come over for cocktals and multiplayer action =(

when the girlies come over for cocktals and multiplayer action

Ok typical boy's response but reading it back I did ask for it eeeeeeeek

Look at Fat Princess, Overcooked, Pyre, Horizon Chase Turbo, Rocket League, Guacamelee 2, Helldivers, but the closest to Micro Machines is probably Blazerush

It's been recommended a few times on here already but Overcooked is amazing fun.

Also try Gang Beasts:
