Re: PGA Tour 2K21 Tees Off This Year, Full Reveal on 14th May

TGC 2019 is a fantastic game. It's plays like a dream and the course creator has a very active and talented community behind it meaning there are so many quality courses available - you never get bored. It just needs a little polish to the overall presentation, career mode and menus which I'm sure we will get this year. Very excited about this.

Re: PS Plus March 2020 PS4 Games Announced

Alfieburns

I will say the last few months have been really strong - but the problem is all the best games they've offered out I already own! Not their fault obviously, but wish they would select one of the 25 games I currently have on my wishlist

Re: PS Plus July 2019 PS4 Games Announced

I've been a FIFA player for some years but have recently become disheartened with the series. Downloaded PES 2019 Lite and liked what I played. Didn't want to shell out for the full version when a new one comes out in a couple of months - so I'll gladly snaffle up this freebie. This is good news for me personally but I do get why it won't fly for others.

Re: FIFA Devs Detail Key Gameplay Changes for This Year's Game

Alfieburns

What I found with FIFA 19 was that when it first launched the gameplay was great. It was bit slower, more physical, more difficult to score. Then the "community" started moaning that they couldn't just use the quickest players to run past everyone and EA patched the game, turning it in to the same game it always was. Wish they'd have the strength in their convictions to make changes and stick to them and not revert back to type when Twitter kicks up a fuss.

Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Release Date Set for 2019 According to Studio Leak

Alfieburns

I'd be curious to see how many of these release date leaks actually are accurate. They seem to be a pretty regular occurence; we always get told of a site accidentally revealing a release date. However, it's soon forgot about and when the release date is officially revealed I never think back to the leak to see if was true.

If a high number of these leaks were proven to be correct, maybe we'd have a better idea of whether we could rely on them in the future.

Re: Spider-Man PS4 New Game Plus Coming 'Super Soon'

Alfieburns

I'm not sure what a New Game + adds to Spiderman. Most of the time they are useful for making different decisions or for playing with a different build of character/skills but there are no choices to be made in the game and it's so generous with it's XP that I was able to unlock all attributes in the skill tree. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game but I can't see what a New Game + offers that just starting the campaign fresh wouldn't.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Has Around 200 Species of Animal, Says Rockstar

Alfieburns

Love the level of detail they seem to have gone in to for this game. Some the previews blew me as they mentioned the little touches - things like mud reacting realistically as you move in it, blood sticking to your clothes as you carry a corpse, or light shining off a chocolate bar foil wrapper as you examine it in a store. Makes me think these won't be 200 throwaway species that all act the same way, but that they will be truly unique.

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey 'Explorer Mode' Turns Off Automatic Objective Markers for a More Organic Experience

This game apparently has upwards of 100+ hrs of gameplay, so I can't begin to imagine how long it would take to complete if you have to explore to find content.

This would appeal to me massively about 10 years ago but my gaming time has reduced dramatically in the last couple of years, and with a baby on the way it's only going to get smaller. It means that seeing something like this is quite intimidating now - so I'll take all the hand holding I can!

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets a Full 48 Minute Gameplay Demo

Alfieburns

My favourite bit out of all if this is when V leaves her apartment. The interior environment looks so detailed and immersive. Then she steps out in to the plaza/square and it multiplies by 100. I could spend hours just wandering around the environment and game world without even doing a mission - very similar to when I first entered Novigrad in TW3.

Re: European PS Store's Massive Summer Sale Just Got Even Bigger

Alfieburns

@naruball not sure there is, but what I have done is created a wishlist on the website. Means that whenever there is a sale on I can just view my wishlist and see which ones are discounted. Saves me a lot of time of scrolling through the sales, as well as helping to stop me making impulse purchases and only buying games I actually want

Re: The Walking Dead Ushers the Beginning of the End on 14th August

Alfieburns

I used to buy Telltale games at the start and play each episode as and when it came out. Since Game of Thrones though I've changed and only purchase them once the full series is out. I think it adds so much more to be able to play each episode shortly after each other. I had a great weekend with Batman: The Enemy Within recently - with everything being fresh in the mind it just meant it had much more of an impact on me.
