Last game you DIDN'T finish and your thoughts

Still can't believe you can't change the number of sets you play in Mario Aces

I know, it's mad and I still don't know why. Can't be hard to add!

You'd be correct.

He's always been a disappointment

Me right now:

Last week the f2p version of DOA6 arrived, which lets you play as 4 fighters and do everything apart from the story mode. The things you can buy are new characters on their own or packs and the story mode.

With this in mind, you'd think the game wouldn't feel like a mobile game, well it does as even if you walked into GAME and bought the retail version you would still have to grind and I mean grind for new costumes, gallery items etc

I unlocked maybe half of the achievements and only played as Kasumi but only unlocked enough parts for one costumes for Hitomi. I was going to buy the story mode pack, but from the sounds of it, it's just something to grind parts for more costumes.

The game still plays great but very much feels like this should have been f2p from the start and you buy loot boxes with costumes or gallery items in.

What you really came here for is


You, Me, the dog next door should have seen this coming as I've played Demon, Dark Trilogy and Bloodborne and you know it's going to come back to this thread.

Now I did take your tips on board guys and did give it another go early in the week but actually talking to some other peeps after they decided FAR Lone Sails isn't a proper game but Mortal Komabt 11 is, that I could spend the next month gitting gud at Sekiro and I do think back in the day when it would have been my only new game, I would have given it the time.

Yet I can use this time to play random games in my backlog such as Fe over having my patients tested.

That it does sort of come down to too many games, my patients as a gamer now in 2019 then let's say 1998 and fine with that.

With that said I do think this is the GOTY, it's visually the best From game, the combat is satisfying, swinging around is cool that it does have a lot going for it along with cinematics that adds to the experience.

That it is an amazing game but isn't for me and everything doesn't have to be.

You really should get your patients tested, otherwise how will you decide on a course of treatment?

That one was worthy of me Drunka. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Balanced level-headed take there from the Mas-ter.

I'll post about finishing Sekiro in 2022 - I'm going through it at a glacial pace. Loving it, mind you.

Dead or Alive 6 - is that Free 2 Play on PS4? I had DOA5: Core Fighters and really enjoyed it, and don't feel like paying top dollar for a fighting game in 2019. I would probably get Soul Calibur 6, Tekken 7 and Dead or Alive 6, if they were £15 each. One day!

Yeah it's on PS4 as well, it was a okay afternoon but fighting games have moved on and it's a utter grind with little reward.

Tekken 7 goes on sale semi-regularly and is well worth it to boot.

After one too many crashes, I gave up on Vampyr. I wish it was never on sale. That way I wouldn't have picked it up and had dontnod's rep sullied.

Not atrocious by any means, Vampyr's biggest sin is just how totally bland every aspect if the game is. That, compounded by its regular crashing and dreadful loading times, makes this one to avoid like the plague.

That's just come to Game Pass and a mate of mine said it was one of his favourite games of last year but he did say to play Prey first though out of the recent additions.

Maybe it gets better later? Might be worth a punt if its free and you're a fan of the genre

You might remember me raving about this one after the demo. I love the soundtrack, the visuals call back to a period in gaming which is often ignored and the name and description implied a Lovecraftian horror vibe. What you actually get is a daft undersea Disney adventure with skeleton pirates and crabs and stuff, which not only looks like an old ZX Spectrum game but also plays like one. After bashing my head against horrible platforming for a night I just asked myself "Why am I doing this? It isn't even good." and went to bed.

Maybe Jimbob will like it.

OnRush (PS4)



OnRush caught me by surprise, as it's a really fun arcade-style racer that's a little bit Burnout Revenge, a little bit FlatOut and more than a bit Excite Truck. Throw in the online Rocket League style "constantly unlocking things" element and you're left with a fun, easy to digest slice of crash-n-bash.

The point of the game is to win a 6 v 6 match, involving two teams driving around a course, trying to race through flashing goalposts (think slalom skiing). This boosts a score meter (this time, think NBA Street Gamebreakers) until the first team fills their meter, and wins. You get points for taking out opponents, which stops them for 5 seconds from competing, and while the levels aren't particularly memorable, it plays really well. I don't think it's got a unique enough art design to breakaway from the Rocket League comparisons (they just slapped dubstep and bright colours on it) but it's well worth checking out.

7.5/10

Agreed - liked OnRush, had my fun with it and I'll recommend it, but I came nowhere close to finishing it before I moved on to the next thing.

Same here, as fun as it was the presentation was just drab and found myself getting bored of it before Ishould have.

You can't really finish a BR game like this, just I've stopped playing this recently and same goes for who EofGiz & CW whom I was playing it with. Now I may go back to it as it does play great and made go hey BR's can work after playing some PUBG, Fortnite and Blackout.

Just the one map over and over again, now with randoms even with the ping system has started to get boring.

I'm hoping for one thing from EA at E3 is for something new as I could see us jumping back on.

#CrossplayforApex

Yeah, I've definitely got bored with the current state of the game. I suppose that's a peril of not having regular updates like its competitors in that it's not easy to keep people playing.

I'm seeing a rumour of new maps floating about but I don't see that arriving in season 2 but at least we had that quality win when we were paying more attention to the recent state of play livestream than the actual game.

Aye, I've saved the footage of that win - genuinely minutes of us just hiding in the corner in bunker watching Iceborne footage.

Oh no, Jay will have to play some other games now!

It's alright, I've still got SSBU and other fighting games stealing all my time!

If and when Mash ever comes back, that's what we should put up as our trailer.

Sadly, we didn't record the audio, but I'm sure we could gimmick something and make up our audio.
