Video Games

Grim. Powerful. Dark. Steeped in a dank tea of Norse Mythology and set in an astonishing world. The game is basically your standard quest and story with puzzle solving and combat . BUT it is just flawlessly executed.

The portrayal of the main character is amazing, the writing and voice acting in this thoroughly deserve their BAFTAs. I have never seen something as serious and profound as mental illness so deftly and brilliantly addressed. The theme of psychosis is integrated into everythingl; the world, the story, the puzzles and even combat (the multiple voices in your head give you pointers in combat!)

I am maybe about halfway through...

This will be a game that I will be loathe to finish simply because it will be over. Personally, I couldn't really replay it because the emotional impact will all be gone after the first play through.

As I child I played Pong on a cabinet in the late 1970s and have been a gamer ever since. This game is utterly unique. Astonishing. Really, really astonishing.

Can anyone 2 player PC games for me and my partner to play together? Cooperative would be best. Something pick up and play.

Overcooked.

Another pick up and play game I don't think I've seen here which is amazing is Speedrunners. Holy addictive. So good. Not coop though.

Wow. Great review. So tempted...
It's on PS4, right?

Thank you.

No idea. I am WASD4lyf

Great when drunk.

Buys game

I just picked up hellblade for £25 directly off psn. 3rd play through of the last of us isn't doing it as much for me as I thought it would.

@Aroogah you be't not be fibbing about it.

I just spent 10 minutes getting my butt handed to me in melee combat by guys with axes and swords and shields in a the river full of blood that was in a cavern made up of corpses.

Dank enough for you?

Love dank. (May change my name to skydanker)

It is available on PS4 though only on imported disk. Will check later if the game is downloadable from the PS shop.

I also like the idea that if you die enough your save game file gets deleted and you have to start again. This definitely adds tension and the feeling that you have everything to lose. And no hand holding, which is the bane of so many modern games. You gotta git gud it seems.

A reviewer called the combat "Dark Souls Lite" so yeah, you should be happy with it.

It’s a 15gb download on PS store for £25ish

It’s in my basket, I’m not completing the purchase yet as I sometimes get a code to encourage me over the line.

DR2? Very exciting!

Sony have entered the world of cross-platform. Who knew?!

Rdr2 will need 105gb. Glad I went with the larger PS4 now, that's the price of progress.

Can't wait to see my horses balls shrink and expand.

Fucking hell.

how easy is it to swap out a ps4 drive?
remember doing it on my ps3, but needed to copy the hard drive to a weirdly pc formatted drive before I could copy it over..
edit: Answered my own question.

looks like a piece of piss..

I think you can just plug in an external via USB too

External HDD is the easiest option.
I have a 3tb WD plugged in, no discernible difference in load times, etc.

The only "downside" if you lose one of the 2 USB ports (unless they added more on recent models?)
I have HDD in one and the relay for the headset In the other, I have to charge everything elsewhere.

If you get a PS4 Pro they have an extra USB socket on the back

I'll be getting a Pro when my current (OG white) pops it's clogs.

one down side of external drive, you cannot pick installation drive when downloading a game like you can in Steam. It's either perm external, or perm internal and you have to manually change that in the settings every time.

I have a feature request open with Sony to get "Select an installation drive" added to the download feature

WIFES AWAY.

Regressing to nerdy teenager for the weekend... mountain dew and doritos ordered, be good to get a full LFGSS PUBG session, I'll even use headphones...
