@professorhat Your right, this would be perfect for remote play!

Started playing the heart of stones expansion as a prep for Blood and Wine. Some of those changes are just what I would have asked for, ability to read books or notes immediately, better navigation of menus and the map, so happy this is happening, think it's possiblely my fave game of all time

@PostmanPatinator You can buy the game plus expansion for €50 on the store right now, that's basically the GOTY edition

@WanderingBullet Yup, thats Ireland :/ Think we have a high tax rate on games which drives up the prices, many brand new games go for €75 here. Also I live in the countryside so there's not many retailers for games either, just Argos and Gamestop.

@TripleGK Nope! couldn't believe it when I saw it today I have a plan though, I'll get the digital version plus the season pass which is on offer in the sale then use the physical copy I've ordered as a trade-in with a copy of Bloodborne to get Uncharted for €10, that way Uncharted will only cost me €42 rather than the €70 it costs brand new here everybody's happy! (By everybody I mean me actually!)

Literally bought the Witcher 3 online last night from ebay for €32 including delivery, thought I was getting a good deal. Next day it goes on sale for €25

I'll be playing more Dark Souls III, I'm to Lothric Castle so I feel like I'm nearing the end. I'll also be playing some AC: Black Flag which I'm enjoying (although the gameplay just as awful as every other AC game!) and maybe some Smite and Trials Fusion.
@Kyroki Happy Birthday lad! Your finally out of the teens (though your still cursing like one

@Illusionistt Just so you know, there's two Trails games available on Vita from the PSP store section, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and Trails in the Sky SC (Second Chapter). I'd highly recommend the first one of you like JRPG's, I've on;y played through the start of the second but it's looking great so far

@themcnoisy We teachers need all the holidays we can get! Also I', only a student-teacher atm so I've even more time off

After picking up several games in the latest sale, I'll be playing a selection of games including AC: Black Flag (finally took the plunge on this in the sale), Trials: Fusion, Dark Souls III, Smite, Borderlands The Handsome Collection and finally Trails in the Sky SC. Reading back over this, I'll be lucky to get to half those games in truth!

Picked up a bunch in this sale, Banner Saga, Trials Fusion, AC: Black Flag, Borderlands Collection. Very happy with all that, should keep me busy for the summer!

@scubydo No just Tropico and Table Top Racing. God of War will only work on PSP and PS Vita. Also there's no such thing as a dumb question, everything is easy if you know the answer

Haven't bought a COD games in years, think I might pick this one up and get two games in the bargain. Would love a return to WWII though

Happy to hear this, would love it more on Vita but that's probably wishful thinking at this stage

It'll be a mix of Dark Souls 3, This War of Mine, Rocket League hoops, Smite and Trails in the Sky SC. The nfl draft has me in the mood for some Madden too

@themcnoisy @AXEL314 No problem lads, us Vita fans got to stick together

I'm delighted with this months offering, played a bit of Tropico 4 on laptop and it was great, and I've heard Tropico 5 is just as good so very happy to see that. Also I've seen some videos of Table Top Racing and it looks like a lot of fun, a bit like a Mario Kart for the ps4. And Ghost of Sparta was meant to be decent for psp so happy with that too. Good month all round I think!

Here's a link to a L2/R2 grip accessory being made for the original Vita, think it's out in May

I'll be ploughing through the fabulous Dark Souls 3 which surely must be a GOTY contender, just beat the Old Demon King at Smouldering Lake so going to finish exploring the maze under the lake before moving onto the gorgeous Boreal Valley and taking the obligatory screenshots. Also might get start This War of Mine which I got in the sale, and the usual few rounds of SMITE with the push square lads

Bought This War of Mine: Little Ones and Shovel Knight, I've been eyeing these for a sale price for a long time. Was tempted by Digimon on Vita but think I'll hold off. Wasteland 2: Directors Cut on PS4 looks a steal at €15, heard it's a very good isometric rpg

Any word if the PvP covenants are being patched? I'm having no luck getting summoned might just be that people aren't walking around embered

@JaxonH Its good to see your back playing a spread, always makes for fun reading @kyleforrester87 Welcome to the club bro, it's all downhill from here (in terms of other gaming experiences)

@iDangerMouse_ Cant beat an old rally Escort mk II
It's Dark Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls for me as I make my way slowly through what I feel is gonna be a masterpiece, soaking up everything that makes these games great. I'll probably get some Smite in with the SMITE Squad from here and maybe a dash of Rocket League just to keep @Simon_Fitzgerald happy

@Gatatog I've played 5 hours and haven't enter the Undead settlement yet

Fantasic article, I love how your doing your best to draw people's attention to the elements which make the SoulsBorne games so special. It's a really sad reality that so many players (and arguably elements of games media) are blinded by the difficulty of the SoulsBorne games (which is already exaggerated I feel) and fail to notice the amazing design features which makes them so unique, the interlocking world design (best in the biz as far as I'm concerned), the gorgeous soundtracks, the wonderful sense of discovery these games foster, the both equally lovable and terrifying co-op system (which could be explained better in game I feel). These are special games as far as I'm concerned and the only games where I really wish more people would play and give a chance.

@1kca Even if your a PC guy you can still chat about the games that are on both platforms everyone's cool hear so you wouldn't get any hate for it

I wish they'd hurry up and announce a GOTY edition already, every time theres a witcher article I'm hoping there's some news about it included

@iDangerMouse_ Smite is Life brother!

Very tired (but thankfully not hungover) from a wedding yesterday so I'll be relaxing with some Smite with the PushSquare gang, some Driveclub and maybe some Battlefield 4 campaign which I decided to play through as I still haven't done yet!

@Boerewors Love It!

"P.S. Always be ready to deflect wrongful accusations of kill stealing when playing with the Super Smite Squad"-Artemis 2016

Has 2K fired their media and advertising team? Seriously, first X-Com launches on Vita under the cover of night, then Civ Rev 2 releases without a word, now there haven't said a word about this collection despite numerous leaks. What is going on over there?

@CrushdSheep That sounds ridiculously hardcore!

@Sanquine Funny enough, I had to write a thesis last year for a Masters, and the Witcher 3 was the first game I played after finishing it too! Great game to lose youself in I found, exactly what I wanted!

I'm away from home this weekend so it's all Vita gaming for me. I'll be playing more Trails in the Sky with possible some FEZ and Stealth Inc. thrown in just to mix things up. Might also play some Football Manager 2014 on my laptop too (haven't bothered picking up the latest releases).
Kinda sad I won't be able to join the Super SMITE Squad this weekend, who else is gonna "secure" all those kills We've assembled a pretty good team too!

That sub-heading is quality @anchorsam_9

Nothing that interests but I'm happy they've added some more variety rather than another pixel shooter

First Xcom stealth releases on VITA and now Civ Rev 2? I would of thought it deserved some attention

@ApostateMage That sounds like quite literally an "epic" play through
I'll be playing through Driveclub having picked it up in the Easter sale and also Salt and Sanctuary might dip back into Bloodbourne to go for the platform, I'm only 1 trophy away but its the Queen Yarnham one might also get some Broforce in with some fellow push squarers

@ShogunRok Ya I'm sure one is in the works but hadn't read anything about one yet. Thanks anyway!

@KratosMD That makes so much sense it's scary

@ShogunRok Any word on a GOTY edition with all dlc?

@WanderingBullet Ya you can do it so that a friend can get summoned instead of a random person

@kyleforrester87 Many people would argue that DS2 wasn't a proper souls game, it was lacking the certain magic that Miyazaki (the creator of DS1 and Bloodborne) brings when he's designing a game. He wasn't directly involved in DS2 like he was in DS and BB. So basically because he's directly involved in this, it's likely to be a lot better than DS2, plus with some of the new mechanics in the game it's supposedly possible to play a la Bloodborne if you wished

@WanderingBullet Basically there's a mechanic in the game where you can summon help in the form of another players (up to 2), they will stay in your game until either you defeat a boss (they will then get kicked out of your game, but you can simply move to the next area to summon again) or they are killed. Think for Dark Souls you need to be human (as opposed to undead) to summon

@MDHegs Even just try asking for a co-op partner here when the thread gets set up, I'm sure people will help I'll even give a hand when I can although I'm not promising my presence will help at all

@MDHegs @WanderingBullet Have ye tried co-opting through the game? Like summoning help at the start of areas rather than only at bosses? You should regularly find someone who knows what they're doing and will help you through the area along with guiding you to secrets and loot. Plenty of people play the game like that

Thank you, got the bellona voucher

@AshMK I've been holding off on buying it for precisely that reason It's gonna happen at some point surely after Xbox Gold got it? I've been waiting literally months

@rippo1971 Welcome!
