I actually enjoyed AC1 somewhat at the time. I actually can't remember that much about it but remember liking it at the time. 2 and Brotherhood are waiting on my shelf. Probably play them after I finish Ninja Gaiden 3 and Z

I thought AC1 was a good game. The only problem was that you climbed buildings so...fucking...slow. AC2 is my favorite game in the series and Brotherhood was pretty good too. I'm positive you'll like them both.

I haven't played an AC since Black Flag. Too much time spent on the ship. My least favorite part of AC3 was turned in to the whole of Black Flag. Haven't played an AC since and not sure that I'll ever get back in to the series.

As a side note, can't wait for Fallout 4 but I'm still undecided as to whether I should buy an XB1 or PS4. Thoughts?

That new Pokemon game may just be the reason I buy a Wii U. Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and now that? That's a hell of a lineup. It looks like Dragonball Xenoverse.

MGS5 is getting stellar reviews. The general consensus is that the gameplay is varied and amazing and that the only criticism is that its story is spare. If you ask me, An MGS game without 4 hours of cutscenes may be a nice sendoff for the series and Kojima.

Fuck... Traded in my Wii u too early didn't I?

 

[.]

Having just finished Arkham Knight with the best possible ending.

That was a fucking shit ending. All of them are.

Fuck... Traded in my Wii u too early didn't I?

Yes. Plus Zelda's next year.

 

[Ty Burna]

Oh look, they've done a proper PC port of Grandia II, one of my all time favorite RPG's

Time to jump back in, especially at only $15.

 

[Lee]

Grandia II rocks Ty. Up there with Shining Force II for me.

In other news this advert is glorious:

Anyone buy Devil's Third yet? How is it?

Looked fun on a bun but apparently its awful.

 

[Lee]

I was going to get it but the microtransaction element annoyed me.

It seems the sort of game I can pick up for £20 in a few weeks. Will probably get it, it'll be shit but it does look fun.

IGN ripped it to shreds:

I've never played Watchdogs because GTA V was still the ultimate. Is it worth picking up and playing now that the GTA honeymoon is finally over?

 

[Uncle Sam]

How long has there been a fee to use Pokemon Bank? I've never know Nintendo to nickel and dime me like this before.

 

[Crocker]

I finally got to Diamond 5 in League of Legends.

 

[Lee]

How long has there been a fee to use Pokemon Bank? I've never know Nintendo to nickel and dime me like this before.

Always has been an annual fee. I think it's £5.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's 4-something. The tutorials I'd been reading (I'm finally going to power through Y so I can import my all-star Black/White team into 3D) never mentioned a fee so I was taken aback when I suddenly came across it.

Yes. Absolutely yes. Not on PC though as the port still has a bunch of optimization issues.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I was about to recommend Watch_Dogs but then I remembered the game I was thinking of was Sleeping Dogs. Play Sleepy Dawgs.

 

[Ty Burna]

Yeah Sleeping Dogs is a legit. Such a slept on game. Watch_Dogs I haven't given the proper time to form an opinion on yet.

Its a fiver Always has been.

On a related note, does anyone here use Smogon? I've got a trade thread with some awesome stuff on it.

Picked up this little beauty on my US travels

 

[JGlass]

Anyone else start playing Mad Max yet? It's probably the best movie-based game I've ever played, and a solid game overall. Story is kind non-existent, just survival. The game's scale is epic though: the combat is brutal, Arkham Knight style, and the vehicle combat feels right out of the movie, though it's somewhat difficult to master.

 

[GI Cake]

I bought both Mad Max and Metal Gear Solid V and at the moment I'm too busy ambushing goats in my tactical cardboard box then shooting them into the air with hot air balloons to play Mad Max.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I've been reading mixed reviews for Mad Max. I can certainly wait for the arse to fall out of the price, which it will do, to play it.

I traded in Arkham Knight - completed it - and Far Cry 4 - which resigned itself to this fate when it made me restart a mission for walking into the wrong room - for a £36 voucher. I'm thinking I can pick up Wolfenstein and Shadow of Mordor, or the Master Chief Collection, or Metal Gear V. In the meantime, Splatoon always keeps me busy.
