good job I have no plans of buying it then. -
Well that was something I wasn't expecting. Playing F1 2015 and I ended up lapping Vettel on lap 4 on my way to winning the Austrian GP -

Indeed I'm spending moer time flagging spam these days than actually posting here I think. -

Yea it's totally different to the other Witcher games, tbh I hated the combat in the first game so never finished it.sjsharp2010 said:Was going to wait until after I'd finished Alice Madness returns but decided I couldn't wait any longer. I've started the first Witcher game. I'm finding combat quite challenging but so far I'm getting through it.Yeah just had my rear end handed to me by the first boss. I almost had him though as I wittled his health right down. Have to admit though I prefer ME and DA's style of combat given you work as a team which can help over come any shortcomings you might have. Especially if you pick a well balanced team.Not too sure about combatting enemies on my own.
Edit GOT HIM. I think I underswtqand the combat mechanics on this game now and how to fight. Still need to figure out the other RPG elements in the game but have to admit that although it is tricky it is a cool game. I get the feeling this game is going to be a bit like DA origins in that it's tricky to figure out but once you do it's extremely satisfying.
Have to admit though I'm already looking forward to playing the 3rd game Ciri seems like a nice girl in the story and the graphics look beautiful if the youtube vids are to be believed. Playing the games in order though as I want to carry my experiences through from one game to the next just like with ME and DA seeing as I heard that you can.

Talking of Tomb raider I just found some gameplay if anyone's interested.

Yeah I'm glad TR is coming out earlier tbh. Especially given ME Andromeda is scheduled for it's release towards the end of next year as well and that too is a game I want to get my hands on. Given both series are excellent they both deserve a moment in the sun. I'd suspect they'd both trip over one another if they both ended up being released at the end of the year ads I originaqlly expected.RevolvingPrawn said:
Good stuff bud, I was thinking around then too :)Hughesy said:@RevolvingPrawn Double good news :D Btw I'm feeling okayish tonight, so I'm up for playing Pcars later. Probably about 7:30-8pm.

Awesome on Life is Strange, after the cliffhanger I've been desperate for the next episode! And cool on TR, earlier than I expected but it was one of those games I could wait for :p

Extremely good news as I really like the look of that new TR game. I just didn't want to get it on Xbox as I'd find the controls too awkward to use, so the fact that it won't be as long a wait as I was fearing it might be sounds good. Looks like there are a few QTE's in there but I hope there aren't as many as in the first game as personally I think they overdid that in the first game. It's probably my only complaint with the first game though as the rest of it is good. May go back in and run through the game again at some point but have my hands full working through other games atm. -
Think I'm starting to adjust to the Alice game now got through the bit I was stuck on too having to use a couple of cheats to negotiate my way through but I think I'm getting better at it. -
Playing Alice Madness Returns have to say I quite like the graphics on it. It's a bit cartoony but it kind of works well with this sort of game.
Have to say the combat in this game is hard even on easy

Lukedfrt said:Really getting into The Witcher 3 now, amazing how big a game it is!
yeah I'm hoping to get into that game soon I have the game but just haven't got around to playing yet. I'm working towards it though -
there's another job for @justbiglee and @literalzero to deal with tomorrow then.Hughesy said:Signup system needs changing, otherwise this will be a constant thing :#

I think that GMD guy in the F1 section is asaking for a banning order on him or at least a warning as he's starting to get abusive -
Doubt they will though but it certainly is a sad dayfIsince08 said:I think they should retire number 17.

Agreed you need at least 4/5 for this forum though hopefully they'll consider adding a couple more. With the way the F1 forums been behaving since the release of F1 2015 this place needs it.couger1981 said:Yeah only 3 were chosen but they need many more for this sudden outbreak of spam posts/threads.

I have had that with Kinect and some other issues, all you needed to do is run a power cycle. You do this by holding down the power button for a few seconds, and you will here it do the cycle. Once its done you just power on as normal. I could have saved you all the hassle, but it's done now. :)sjsharp2010 said:
well sometimes the Kinect stops functioning and performance wise it was all over the place when I went to install the new PGA game earlier on it. Hopefully it's working OK now though it looks as though it is. Still need to test and put it through it's paces. But I think it's OK now.Hughesy said:
What was wrong with it?sjsharp2010 said:Having to reformat my XB1 oh the joys of machines as it wasn't working properly. Now hopefully I can get things reinstalled and working again.
thanks will have to remember that for future reference -

Good games I've got the Portal ones tricky but fun. Going to play a few holes on my PGA game then play some more of The Longest Journey seeing as I haven't got much of that done yet or at least not as much as I'd have liked due to various distractionsHughesy said:Yea maybe even Friday, as I don't think there's that much left. I'm reinstalling Portal to see if I can get into it, then if I can I'll get Portal 2 ;)

Lukedfrt said:Shenmue is my favourite game of all time! There was nothing like it when it came out, the detail in the world was amazing, and the graphics were the best!
I'm not sure how Shenmue 3 will turn out, hopefully it's attention to detail is as impressive as the first... but at least after 15 years i can finally finish the story! :pThat's kind of how I feel about the Longest Journey/Dreamfall series it doesn't have the finest graphics by todays standards but I thought it was beautiful when I first saw it it's a fine point & click adventure As they're working on the third game now they've got 3 parts of it done just books 4 &5 to come. Haven't had a chance to play through Books 1-3 yet but I'm working my way through the first 2 games to remind myself where the story was for when the third game starts so I can then get cracking on third game when I'm done.

Got it working eventually took me pretty much all day to do but I'm happy -
I hate it when games atart being a pain in the neck and stop working. Trying to get one of my old classic adventuer games to work and it's not playing ball atm. -
yeah can't say it happened to me as I had a bad race there in my 2014 season on the game but then I don't tend to go well there anyway. I've only ever won at Monaco twice on CM's games and on both those occasions was on 2012 not on 2015 -
Hughesy said:Ok it's totally messed up, the backmarkers aren't even being given blue flags....... This must be a bug. This is going to be a long 78 laps :|
One of the many pleasures of racing at Monaco I suppose. Just received my dispatch note for the PGA game I ordered from Shopto.

If I were you yes but it is up to you as that would have been around the price I'd have originally probably bought it at if I had chosen to hold off. Surprised the price has dropped off that quickly though.
