Any of you gaming gents that want to get involved in the TLW Xpert 11 league just hit me up and apply. We have just had a team become available due to some terrible bastard letting it go.

 

Haven't we NV?

 

If you want to test yourself against the very best TLW has to offer (and a lot of the dross too) then follow the link below. Not too time intensive if you don't want it to be, can be if you want it to be.

 

I cannot get the fucking link to past in here. Annoyingly. Just google Xpert11 and look for league 54622.

Currently playing dark souls 2 and it is fucking infuriating cause all you do is die I will hold back on a rating until I get into it more.

 

Witcher 3 7.5/10. Decent game very enjoyable not finished yet but still very good.

 

Star Wars Battlefield 7/10. It's alright not great but it can get a bit repetitive still alright to kill a few hours though.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Older game from 2004, played it for the first time. Good setting and atmosphere. 8.2/10

Aliens: Colonial Marines. Yes, I got this much hated game for a fiver and played the campaign on Co-Op with my brother. Predictably it was full of bugs - but you also fight other humans (fnar). Seriously, it is pretty much patched up now and we encountered only one bug where we had to restart a checkpoint. All in all a solid FPS with a good selection of weapons. 8/10

Tales from the borderlands. You have to like telltales style of game. I do 10/10.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate - 7/10. Better than Unity, but not even close to Black Flag. Enjoying the Jack The Ripper DLC, though.

 

Star Wars Battlefront - 8/10. I can see me burying some hours in this.

Faster Than Light

 

Cool little space game that I picked up off Steam after someone mentioned it on here. Well worth a bit of someone's time as you crack through the galaxy trying to add cool shit like cloaking and transporters to a basis ship.

Played a few games on the Oculus Gear VR headset. It's the fucking future.

Assassin's Creed: Unity - The ever decreasing quality of the AC series continues apace. Ubisoft really need to give it a few years off and overhaul the whole thing. They said that they'd changed and improved the parkour system for this one but it was worse than ever. Arno sticks to buildings when he shouldn't, runs like he has cement in his boots and the feeling of free running feels more like the roll of a dice. Add to that the usual collectathon nonsense, awful fighting system and the poor mission quality and this game was really dull. On it's good side, Paris looked really stunning and the larger crowd scenes were impressive, the technical bugs have more or less been eradicated now but there's still a couple. Can't give this more than 5 out of 10.

 

Playing Rise of the Tomb Raider next. I anticipate that to be shit-hot.

[Lee909]

As soon as they added guns in AC3 it went downhill.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Until dawn. Really enjoying it, it's pretty much just an interact teen horror movie. I've not finished it yet but so far so good I can see me replaying it.

Darkest Dungeon

 

It's like crack... moreish as fuck.

[Baresi]

Just on the beta for the division. Loving it, so far.

[Pidge]

Just bought Bloodborne. It hasn't kicked my arse yet, but I've been too cowardly to try much so far. Just running around and trying to get a feel for it. Gorgeous game though.

[Allan]

Just on the beta for the division. Loving it, so far.

 

Played this for about an hour this afternoon, just after the beta launched on PS4.

 

I'm not too good with 3rd person games, but it plays quite nicely and looks promising.

 

Think I may keep my pre-order. Going to have to play the some more when time allows. Night shifts getting in the way...

[Guest]

Just loaded up Steamworld Heist on 3DS, it's very good. 

[Sweeney287]

Was a bit underwhelmed by the beta for the division.

 

I have avoided reading much into the game as I thought it was going to be the next AAA title so maybe my expectations were a little too high

[Juniper]

Really enjoying Assassins Creed Syndicate. A lot more fun than Unity, plus the chance to fuck up Victorian London is great. It's a stunning game. The game engine is a lot better/fluid too.

 

Only over 30% in but currently really enjoying it so much so Fallout 4 remains unopened since getting it got Christmas. Haven't been tempted to open that as yet.

 

Some repetitive missions (stealing cargo/freeing factory kids) but strangely I'm enjoying them still.

 

I like the main characters Jacob and Evie too. Good fun. Helps I love a bit of Victorian London but a good, solid game all the same.

Just opened a gate, it was genuinely satisfying. Worrying.

I put a few hours into The Division beta and I'm a little on the fence. I enjoyed it, the RPG elements seem like they may have some depth and the loot system is good, but I'm a little worried it'll get old fast. Like Destiny, I need to see some enemy variation and decent quests, it can't just rely on gopher missions - kill him, find this, protect that - and waves of enemies. 

 

I've a feeling the PvP will be where the real game lies, and that could be phenomenal, or a world full of sniping dickbags looking to pinch your loot for the sake of it.

Crypt of the Necrodancer

 

Fantastically addictive roguelike game where you are "dancing" through dungeons on tiles. You need to stick to the beat of the soundtrack and the monsters who have specific movement patterns do so as well.

 

9/10

XCOM 2 - requested a refund. I meet all the requirements but it plays like shit on my system. All the shitty effects which add nothing degrade performance so much, turning the quality down results in a game that looks so much worse than Enemy Within it's really distracting.

[Paul]

Fallout 4 - 8/10. Good fun while playing it but forgettable once it's done. Good value in terms of length though.

[Pidge]

Still hitting Bloodborne. One thing I didn't know about this game was that you can stop whenever you want. For some reason I thought you had to reach a save point to exit the game and it was the main reservation I had before buying it. Still haven't gone back to the first boss, but I think I've done pretty much everything I can at this level (except go back to the dude with the axe, but fuck that guy) so I'm going to give it another go soon enough. I almost killed the lanky fucker first time around so hoping I can go at him again.

 

Already seen who the second boss is and I'm a bit more worried about that one to be honest.

[RedKnight]

Rise of the Tomb Raider - Even better than the 2013 reboot. More story, less emphasis on combat, longer skill trees and weapon upgrades, and more puzzle-based challenge tombs. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, even did the DLC, which probably isn't worth the money. 9 out of 10.

[Total Longo]

Finally finished Alien isolation. Whilst feeling slightly underwhelmed by the ending, and the whole concept of the alien nest being very weird, i still required several pairs of pants during the course of it. Excellent game. 

 

Now moving on to Batman : Arkham Knight.
