Guest Nikica Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 My gaming backlog is huge - it's at the stage now where I don't play anything as it's so overwhelming. So many inexpensive games and PS Plus etc - it makes for too much choice. The most recent game I have almost completed is Zelda A Link Between Worlds, and it's truly fantastic. It's more or less the successor to a Link to the Past (possibly my favourite game of all time) so I knew I would really enjoy it. Some games I wanna finally complete: The Arkham series including Blackgate; AC IV (got it cheap in a sale on PSN and I hear there's no need to play the others before playing it); Ni No Kuni (it's £6 in PSN sale right now); Brothers a Tale of Two Sons; Heavy Rain; Cursed Mountain; Ninja Gaiden Sigma; Disaster Day of Crisis; Skyward Sword Far Cry 3; Bioshock series; Last of Us and many more.

Zoo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Heavy Rain is without doubt the worst game ever made. Save yourself the trouble and just burn it mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikica Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Heavy Rain is without doubt the worst game ever made. Save yourself the trouble and just burn it mate. I know what you mean in the sense that it is a very polarising game. I quite liked it but I stopped playing about halfway through - that's a bad habit of mine. I know who the killer is as some clown spoiled it for me but I still wanna give it a go all the way. I quite like these 'interactive drama' games. Have you played Beyond Two Souls? I believe it's by the same developer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I've not. I've played Fahrenheit though and that's by the same developer and it's absolutely class. If you can get past the bad graphics (as I think it was released in 2001) then you should give it a go. I know you've got a lot to get through but seriously, add it to your list. It'll probably only be about £2-£3 now and it'll be well worth your money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_(2005_video_game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I made a start on the Last of Us, the opening cut-scene/level is terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an original Xbox so may well buy that. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy8 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thought The Last of Us was a decent game, however I don't think it deserved all the accolades it got. I like to compare the game to Resident Evil 4, which to this day I still consider it to be in the top 3 of my all time favourites. RE4 had a longer game time of around 25 hours on first play, better overall gameplay and story. Sure it definitely didn't have comparable graphics as it came out 10 years ago but I'd still play it over The Last of Us any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I've got AC black flag here, but can't seem to stop playing FIFA to give it a chance. I didn't complete the last AC but I've sold the PS3 and will never get the chance now, and it's really annoying me. I finished all the other ACs apart from this. I have the division on preorder, very excited for it. Edited January 19, 2014 by StevO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played any Resident Evil games, although I have a soft spot for the movies. I completed AC3 recently Steve, you didn't miss much. There wasn't even a final boss assassination as such, there was a chase - he escapes, you have to get on a ship to another map and find him in a pub - there's a cut scene and you stab him. Then Juno Kill Desmond, which is a pisstake when you consider all his missions in Revelations. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt get that into it to be honest, but i feel like ive missed something, after days of my life spent across all of the games. And the part of the spoiler about D makes me think i've missed a major part of the story. There has been talk of backwards compatability based around a cloud system, rather than playing an old disc in a new console (aparently the new console would have to work twice as hard to mimick the old console for it to work). If they can get this working pretty sharpish I can make up for what I missed. Not to mention the £50 the missus wasted buying me a game I rarely played.
