Off Topic OT: Computer Game Thread!

How many on here have bought a Xbox One or PS4 then...?

PS...I said bought Enricky!

 

I was planning on getting PS4 at some point along with a new TV. Not really got round to it yet though, waiting for prices to go down a bit.

I've always been a PS man myself, had 1, 2 and 3 and never owned an xbox. Just cant see any logical reason to switch now, they're pretty similar fmo what I gather (unless you're really nerdy and go into the minute detail) but from what I gather xbox you still have to pay for online where as PS get it free?

 

I believe you have to pay to access online features with the PS4 now too

 

Really? I'll have to check up on that, thought it was free...

 

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that PS4 was charging too. Might have been EA sports etc though but its the same thing at the end of the day

 

We had the xbox one, but we sold it and bought the ps4, it's better for sure

 

Recently finished GTA V, great game but once you've finished the main story it's boring not enough to do and you can't interact with this great open world they have created very disappointing.

 

Just started Metro 2033, really good game brilliant setting and atmosphere.

 

commie batard

 

I don't have a new console but the 1st person mode that will be in that version looks great

 

Yep. The story makes for a great game but online could do with some improvements. Doesn't help that you get nobheads online that are only interested in ruining it for others

 

Because I don't play online I just found it a big empty space and no interaction, could have been a lot better.

Can't praise Metro 2033 enough really good I also have the sequel to play.

 

Just finished The last of us... Ending was pretty disappointing, but what a game!

 

Played it last year and mentioned it here. Brilliant game. Will pick it up again for ps4 when price drops (or go cex).

Anything coming out for the ps4? The order looks good. Not checked the upcoming releases for a while.

 

Depends on what you are looking for. My bro bought me Destiny and it was fun...... but my god is it ****ing repetitive.

Evil Within is great if you are an old school Resident Evil, Dead Space type of guy.

I am at a lull with the games right now and haven't had time. MGS 5 looks like it will be awesome and long. If you have not played the PS4 of Tomb Raider that is worthwhile. Tell Tale just released the game of thrones game for PS4.

 

Loved Resident evil 1 and 2. Naff after that, Dead Space was also good.
They were back in the days when games were actually creepy. You gotta play those games with good headphones and the lights off

 

ok which one of you is this person lol


Helens is a 25-year-old Englishman who seems to enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto. This is understandable. A lot of 25-year-old Englishmen are like that.

What is less understandable, however, is why he called 999 (the British equivalent of 911) and reported a shooting.

This shooting, you see, was only happening inside the Grand Theft Auto world, rather than outside in the big wide one.

As the Mirror reports it, Helens told the 999 dispatcher that his friend Max had been shot in the chest and was bleeding badly. This was nonsense to the max.

But Helens went on for 12 minutes describing the horror, which became worse when he himself began to scream. He claimed to be himself in the throes of an attack by an unknown assailant.

The dispatcher sent two ambulances to Helens' house. What the ambulance personnel found was zero dead bodies, zero injuries and one apparent nincompoop.

The action occurred on November 8. However, in court proceedings last week Helens pleaded guilty and received a 12-month community order. He must perform 120 hours work, unpaid, and will be supervised as to his behavior for 18 months.

Helens' lawyer reportedly explained that her client had been "confused." She said: "It would appear that the phone call made to the emergency services coincided with him playing a violent shooting game on his computer." She added: "He tells me that he has very little recollection of the phone call."

The "I don't recall" defense has been used by the pettiest of combatants to Ronald Reagan.

All too often, it's even less convincing than a video game.

Surely the same guy who called the police when Nani seen red against Real Madrid

So currently have a PS3 and haven't bought a new game in a while....

Contemplating buying a PS4 and some games to go with... any recommendations? Normally Fifa is a standard but think I'll wait until next year given this season is 2/3rds over already... also saw the new F1 game is out in June so could be a good one given haven't bought one in a few years (games like that and Fifa tend to give it 2 years between each purchase otherwise don't notice the improvements as much).

Few good shooter/actions games anyone have that would recommend? Not too old though..
