Have you played 4?

Yup, i believe I've played all of them except the new one.

 

Im not saying any of the others were poor games. One and two set such a high bar that it never reached again imo. Then again, I guess a lot has to do with age I guess.

I think 4 is a masterpiece.

I think 4 is a masterpiece.  

It is a cracking game but obviously extremely dated now. I think I tried playing a remake on PS4 and it hasn't aged well at all.

 

I wasn't a fan of The Evil Within but I read lots of good reviews of the sequel. Picked it up for £19.99 on Xbox One and it's very, very good. Eerie, spooky, survival horror (I mean horror) and it's a very good looking title.

 

If you liked Resident Evil 4 I think you will like this too.

I'm on a bit of a retro trip after finally getting bored of Call of Duty multiplayer.

 

I think it's more fun playing them on the original machine they were released for.  Resi 4 for me is a Gamecube experience, it suits the GC's controller.  I don't mind if it feels dated, that's where the nostalgia kicks in. It's kind of the whole point of playing old games isn't it?  Tetris feels dated but it still kicks ass.

 

I really should play more modern games but I just don't enjoy them as much.

 

I'm waiting for the next Red Dead game to drag me kicking and screaming into something more modern.

 

Witcher 3 GOTY Edition?  Sounds great, but I don't have a spare 300 hours.  I do, however, have a spare couple of hours each night to take a trip down memory lane.

Just finished Steamworld Dig 2 on the Switch.  Enjoyed it, just like the first one. 8/10.

I can buy that, absolutely. I actually played Resident Evil 4 for the first time on Nintendo Wii as I never had a Gamecube and the motion controls on it made a big difference to the experience. On PS4 it just feels like you're moving a man around with an occasional foe to press the buttons for. 

 

Nintendo have always stood out for trying to make the gaming experience unique. I would love to try Evil Within 2 on Switch for this reason.

 

With newer games, I see where you're coming from. A lot of them are attempts to cash-grab but some of them also are genuine attempts to entertain. I tend to stay away from the big AAA franchises (Call of Duty has my attention for 10 minutes, Destiny 2 was brilliant for the first couple of weeks) so finding the great new games takes some doing. It's great that they are still there to be found though.

Balls, I'm on the bit with the two mad bitches with chainsaws.  I really, really wasn't looking forward to this bit.   I've been decapitated once. 

 

This game is stressful.

James Pond 2 Codename: Robocod (Mega Drive)

 

Very good once I figured out what the heck was going on and how to control the fish-man-thing.  Charming use of Penguin biscuits and Bertie Basset (who is a bastard in this game).  Surprisingly tricky.  Excellent use of Robocop music on the start demo.

I preferred Resi 4 on the Wii, the pointer controls for targeting made it a lot easier.

[Rushies tash]

My kids are playing Fortnite Battle Royale on the PS4 at the moment. It's quite an addictive fps, but god do I feel old playing it. As in shite. I nearly did a lap of the living room earlier because i managed to kill someone. My 10 year old just shook his head.

Yeah I've heard it's better.  

 

I've never owned a Wii, I might pick one up as they're GC compatible and then sell the GC. But I love a top-loading console and they're smaller/sexier than the Wii.

It's definitely worth picking up a Wii anyway, they're dirt cheap and have some really underrated gems.

[Pureblood]

I concur, I'm waiting for my moment to strike.

The Mario games and Twilight Princess are brilliant games and a lot of the current Mario/Zelda games on Switch are still heavily influenced by them. Classic machine.

[Yerse]

Been playing PUBG Preview on XBOX ONE. Absolutely shite graphically to start, but calms down as you play. Overall it is Proper addictive and gets your heart rate up loads if you get into the last 5.

 

8/10 for pure enjoyment. 

[The Golden Eel]

I haven't been gaming for a fair few years and even then it was mainly sports sims but the wee lad has got to any age where I thought he'd appreciate games (6) and so I bought and we've been playing a lot of Littlebigplanet recently - really good. Also started the second one recently but not as keen on it so far though I still like it. 

 

Also Toy Story 3 - that's pretty good as well.

 

And Rayman Origins - only dabbled at this slightly but it's promising too.

 

This is PS3 I'm on about.

[Hand Shandy]

Dusted off the old Wii and bought an HD convertor for the TV as our new one doesn't have a scart connection, mainly to try and get the six-year-old daughter into playing games.

 

She can't get the hang of the motion controls and her hands aren't quite big enough to use the nunchuk, so she's not played most of the games I've got.

 

However, she LOVES Mario Kart and is actually pretty good, regularly beating her mother.

 

I, obviously, am still the daddy, and the game is still boss, although I really struggle to curb my language when some fucker blue shells me!

 

10/10 for pure fun factor.

Great game Little Big Planet. Used to play that a lot.

Wii acquired with Mario Kart, Mario & Sonic at the 2012 Olympics, steering wheel, four controllers and a nunchuck for £5.50, local pick up. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

That's a cracking deal. 

 

I'd recommend Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros' Treasure, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Okami and Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Anyone addicted to Fortnite?

 

It's free and it's brilliant.  Albeit the aiming is clumsy.

Yep. Having a blast playing it. What's up with the aiming? Seems fine to me.
