Re: Existence of Unannounced Gearbox Games Revealed via LinkedIn

@Turion Yes! I recently picked it up at Cex for Β£6 and it's been the perfect game for chilling out and creating the most destructive builds you possibly can when it's a Sunday afternoon and you are exhausted. Beautiful graphics and not perfect by any means, but it got a lot better with updates after some negativity at launch. I feel like I have no idea what the sales figures were like though, but it wasn't a traditional live service game so a sequel would expand the idea enough. Not bothered about Borderlands though, never played it so I have no strong feelings either way on that franchise.

Really hoping for a Mafia announcement. They tweeted another one word tease about an hour ago - "Respect"! I feel it won't be and it will probably be as part of a larger reveal in a few weeks though, but it does seem like a daily countdown so we'll just have to wait and see. I'm only really expecting this to be a little indie game reveal to be honest.

Guys, I've already pre-ordered πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ I missed DOA 5 for a few reasons but I had DOA 4 and I ended up sinking thousands of hours into it. I remember when I had a demo disc from a gaming magazine when I was far too young to actually get DOA 2 Ultimate and just played the hell out of the demo...

Re: PlayStation Plus January 2019 Games Announced

I got Steep shortly after its original release and I've since bought all the DLC packs! I'd highly recommend trying this game out, it's a visually gorgeous, chilled and very relaxed game with a surprisingly big load to offer. A fab game that sadly didn't get the recognition it may have deserved when it first came out, probably due to being a little overshadowed in the crowded end of year market!

I remember seeing an ad for Battleborn at the cinema when that was about to come out. It clearly didn't work out for that game. But, it's cool to see it getting marketed to a casual audience - I have some real faith in this game and I can't wait to finally get my hands on it.

Re: Mafia 3's Original Intro Was So Controversial It Had to Be Erased

@Donald_M Cheers. I really enjoyed Mafia 3, but I preferred Vito and Joe in Mafia 2 as characters and it was a shame to see a lot of the functions like gas stations and shoe shine guy. But, I respect the developers for tacking racism issues so well in the third game and I felt the shooting was fun. Mafia 2 is my favourite game ever so It's a classic for me lol it does have a very large cult following. Mafia 3 was never going to beat it but I still found it very enjoyable and I wasn't too disappointed with it. It was just a bit different to Mafia 2.

I felt it was a great game but it was held back by it's flaws. Not a classic like Mafia 2 was, but I was fairly satisfied by what it was. I feel this scene could have been used in the context of showing the brutality of the setting, but it seems the devs ultimately decided it was not totally appropriate to include this original intro scene.

Re: Hands On: The Crew 2 PS4 Beta Is Big, Barren, and Boring

SPGFan34

Having played the beta, I respectfully disagree with you guys on this one. I think the planes, boats and motorcycles make it stand out amongst the crowded genre of racing games and the huge map leaves plenty of room for the dev's to explore in future updates. This is a live service game, after all. I'm still very excited to pick it up.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 225

I thought I'd give Black Ops 3 a try since it's free on PS Plus. So far, I absolutely hate it. Very poorly designed mechanics, the story of the campaign makes no sense at all and I'm finding the MP mode very monetised and boring to play. I wish I hadn't started it now as it means I'm going to have to make myself finish the load of crap.
