Having a bit of trouble getting the 2 step verification working, well i say working. It worked ok on my old phone, but i got a new one and i can't set it up on there. The email isn't being received for me to do this. Any help much appreciated.

The number of season passes available for games is stupid. And more so, the price of them and the content offered. Looking at games like DriveClub and Witcher 3, both offered similar priced season passes and threw in so much content it was unreal. Then you look at games like Arkham Knight, which offered a £40 season pass and content which was extremely poor. In terms of games offering loot boxes and microtransactions, well them costs for producing games needs to be covered. And as much as i really dislike the idea of them altogether (in fact, i avoid games that have this "pay to win" idea (Battlefront II) Just looking at Battlefront II for a moment, i was watching some YouTuber's really rip into EA for doing what they are doing. If you don't get any loot crates, to unlock Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker it's about 40 hours of gameplay, then another 40 or so to power them up. Then they had that starcard situation, basically EA just ruined the game. And it led to the most disliked Reddit post for quite some time (if all time). This isn't limited to what companies like EA and Warner Bros do (and games like Destiny 2, all of which appear on Xbox, PC and PS4). Nintendo are getting them with these Amiibo. Locking a difficulty mode behind a £15 piece of plastic isn't a good idea, and it's one reason i'm not buying Samus Returns.

Finished Horizon's DLC The Frozen Wilds. It's nice, additional content for Horizen. Which to be fair, for a game as good as that it's well deserved,

Just finished Frozen WIlds. More of what we love about Horizon, with some additional new stuff added.

But it's like shows like EGX and Gamescom. Tickets go on sale before anyone knows what will be on show. Kind of a pot-luck scenario.

Following on, i've been playing The Wolf Among Us. Didn't know what to think to begin with, it was on sale on PSN over Halloween so i snapped it up (the Vita edition). Loved it, can see why people rate this the better of the Telltale games series. Ok, the controls on Vita were a little dodgy (and the game crashed twice during my play). That's not including the rickity framerate and audio drop-outs i encountered either. None the less, it was a good experience.

It's a shame Miiverse is gone, Nintendo could have updated it on Switch and added a Twitter integration to it (aka share Miiverse posts with a touch of a button, thus free advertising). It was the best thing about the WiiU at times.

Amazon dropped the ball with pre-orders. Checking across various sites, it seems the mess-ups are on orders made back when they went up. Some people who ordered an Xbox One X a few days or weeks ago seemed to get theirs no problem. One or two Scorpio edition pre-orders were cancelled/not delivered, and those people are not happy.

Made a start last night. It's great to be back in the Horizon universe. Can't wait to get back into this tonight.

That's extremely impressive, no wonder it's aimed at those who want the best out of a machine. And it'll only get better when developers unlock it's true potential.

Cancelled the WWE Network in October, they sent an email 4 days later with 3 free months, so i can't say no to that.

Prices are set to rise again in the UK. £7.99 for 2 screens and HD (from £7.49, 50p increase) £9.99 for 4 screens and Ultra HD (from £8.99, £1 increase) £5.99 for 1 screen and standard definition (no increase) https://www.a516digital.com/2017/10/netflix-price-rise-announced.html

That's understandable, Paris Games Week was jam packed with content.

Was thinking of playing a bit before going to work today, but i got up a little late. Looking forward to it, and sampling the new features in photomode. Expect a few snaps to pop up over the next week.

More Horizon is the only thing that'll put Assassin's Creed on hold for me. I'm excited none the less, can't wait until tomorrow. The Access team did a video about 6 things we may not have heard about in Horizon's DLC. One of which interests me, which is.

Wish they'd stop giving out That's You! now, it's been on for months now.

Tomorrow Children closed it's doors last night, what a shame really. Still, I popped on for a while to play for the last time last night.

Over time, i understand that people move on and do other things in life, that they drift away as such. The General board used to be heaving, i could hardly keep up with the updates and what's been said where. Now it's easy enough to do in a few minutes. However, the gaming boards (specifically Nintendo) have picked up a lot.

When they were on about the infrastructure of PSN, i was 1/2 expecting an announcement on integration of PS Now to PS+ subscribers to compensate the price rise. One can still hope can they?

Shhh......maybe.

It's got inFamous-type vibes to it.

Out right now. I'm holding off, been specifically told to not get any more games this year by the Mrs, plus my backlog is enough to keep me going. It's on my wishlist.

So, this is out Friday. Several Youtube and streamers have early consoles with a bunch of games to test out. Seems they are trying hard to get a market going for it.

It feels like that, but then the timing is good. Microsoft's 4k offering is coming on Friday. Sony go out and deliver game after game.

I'm struggling to keep up with these announcements.
