  1. Was it a Moto G (4) by any chance.
  2. Not that ridiculous :p it's funny how often I don't want to switch disks, even though it's no more effort than say... getting up to get a drink or other biological necessities. I'm far more likely to dip in and out of a game if I have it digital. It's just a shame that none of the consoles have embraced sensible digital pricing for full price titles the way Steam has yet. Xbox One could've probably made an industry-wide change for the better if people hadn't lost their shit at the idea of not being able to resell their games.
  3. Really :/ I guess I forgot that the Wii U didn't have one.... The Switch feels like a more "grown up" console to me though so it wouldn't be that crazy to buck the trend. Well as long as there's a solution for those that need it, it's not a big deal to me. Not having an ethernet port should save production costs. Not keen on wires myself but all my console ethernet cables are hidden away behind my TV stand... don't see them at all. Wired connections are much more reliable than wireless, especially for fast paced competitive gaming where latency is so important, so I go wired wherever possible.
  4. I imagine the adapter is for the handset itself, which probably isn't even thick enough to have an ethernet port, in case you don't have wifi where you are. I'm sure the base unit will have ethernet.
  5. I do too, are they from the same people? The only reason I'm now playing the second is because I'd unlocked almost everything I wanted on the first game. Hopefully the second will add characters at a similar pace to its predecessor. There are some things that are much better and some things that are sadly just missing, like the swipe QTEs for banking and the boss fights (outside of events, as far as I can tell?) From your list, Lara Croft Go is amazing. The art and music in that game is fab, much preferred it to the more recent Deus Ex Go too.
  6. No I'm getting flashbacks to the Wii. Flashbacks of trying to fit a game on and having a breakdown because there was no external HDD solutions.
  7. I really enjoyed stronglifts 5x5 for a good while, it's a great way to get into free weights and measure your progress. Even splashed out on the full app if I remember rightly.
  8. And ridiculously expensive. I almost bought a PSVR a couple of times but knowing I'd have to source two overpriced Move controllers to get the most out of it actually stopped me.
  9. Boy you'd think staying out of the Breath of the Wild thread would keep you free of gameplay spoilers but hey, I guess you never know where they'll pop up...
  10. So, I kinda fell out with this show. The first season was pretty gripping, dark, mysterious. Moriarty had an incredibly dangerous presence. After that though, I liked it less and less over time. It was painfully self-aware, overflowing with jokes and references, and trying desperately to be ultramodern (ipad swiping mind-mapping anyone?) Should I give it another try, has it had a return to form at any point...?
  11. I'm still super skeptical about this game. I find it funny that people are picking apart combat, items, weapons etc., lets be honest combat was completely shit in ME1 but it was still an amazing game because of the story and atmosphere of it. Remember that original trailer that was just about tuning out a distress call because you had to prioritise something else instead? The highlight was on choices, cause and effect etc.. This game is being marketed like it's CoD in space or something.

    Well that's to be expected, if unfortunate in your case. After all it's a game that releases free content, maps, heroes etc throughout its lifespan and it doesn't make sense to reprint disks with that extra data.
  13. What do you find terrible about it? I hate the apps personally. Especially the way they mix in paid content with included content. Had the same issue with the music service.

    Did the issue exist before your HDD upgrade? What did you upgrade to? Tbh I can't imagine player models are loaded from the blu-ray on the fly but it's weird that you don't have issues with any other games.
  15. Well it really depends how well the touch screen is implemented. Of course I can see great ways it could be utilized, but no guarantee it would. The PS4 port is very straight port, not very much changed, leads to some slow saving speeds and some bugs at launch with the cursor (far too minor to affect your enjoyment). So going by that... the touch screen might get very minimal use. Shame we don't live in the golden era of XBLA anymore when every game of this ilk had a free demo!
  16. Well I thought that at first and was disappointed there wasn't a Vita version - but tbh perfectly happy playing it on my sofa for hours on end so it must be doing something right. Controls are a bit fiddly at first but become second nature after a while.
  17. I played Stardew Valley on New Years Day for... I think... about 12-13 hours. Never, ever done that in my life.
  18. I like a quick-fix simple game on my phone these days. To that end, currently enjoying Sonic Dash 2

    Return it, say the disk doesn't even start.... Shouldn't be a problem if you haven't used any codes that came with it. Otherwise buy a new copy from somewhere with good customer service, swap the disk and return it. And please people, stop giving GAME your business.
  20. Why would you choose OR over Vive? Genuine question.
  21. Dirk Gently is fun and easy viewing, I liked it a lot. Great break from the norm. I also thought Travelers was brilliant. Way, way better than that trailer makes it seem. @Sméagol if you didn't try it, you should. I started The OA but put off by a few peoples' comments on the way the story goes, might leave it....
  22. Just say it fits in during these two sentences...
  23. ^ didn't realise there was different demo content! I liked this demo a lot. It's more of the same, but that's okay. It's a strange game, a weird almost incomplete feeling, but I really like the controls and the atmosphere of it, and the big HD visuals bring it to life.

    Away with family most of next week I'm afraid! Maybe I should take the PS4....
  25. "I'm glad you enjoyed that game, I think you should watch this video that explains why you were wrong and it was bad" :p Ummm, why?
