  1. Grand Theft Auto 5

    On that mission I just did with you, you could have warned me that I was taking cover right next to a bloody gas tank , that wasn't pretty.
  2. Puppeteer

    Having played a little more of it over the last day or so I would be inclined to agree with Dcubed. I'm mid-way through Act 5 so still have a little way to go and I'll reserve final judgement until I have beaten both games but I can easily see this topping Legends. That not to say Rayman is a bad game, far from it but there is just so much charm and inventiveness in Puppeteer it will prove hard to top.
  3. Puppeteer

    Managed to put a couple of hours into this today and whilst I wasn't convinced at first (despite really enjoying the demo) it's really beginning to win me over (only just started Act 3 of 7). Really solid presentation, completely off the wall in places and now that a couple of extra gameplay elements have been introduced things are really picking up. It's obviously not going to be the most challenging game ever, judging by how many extra lives I seem to be stocking up but at least it'll give me a break from those awful Living Dead Party levels in Rayman Legends . A little bit awkward to get to some of those secrets as a solo player due to the amount of other stuff going on, especially when the screen can get a little bit 'busy' but it will give it a little more replay value as there appears to be a fair amount to unlock, if you're so inclined.
  4. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Great read and the only thing I'd disagree with is the claim that it's riddled with bugs. In my 100hr+ playthrough when I had the 360 I only had one side quest that glitched out on me and never ran into anything else buggy. I actually remember being really impressed with just how bug-free the game was, given it's scale. That said, I know I'm in the minority and was probably just bloody lucky. In fact, the only real issue I had with the game was a complete lack of challenge as it was far too easy to blacksmith something that would carry you through a large chunk of the game. When I switched platforms, it was also one of the first games that I re-purchased for the PS3 but I've just not found the time to return to that particular playthrough. Reading that article may be just what I need to get back to this gem of a game.
  5. Beyond: Two Souls

    Glad I still lurk periodically around these parts :wink: Switched my £45 preorder from shopto to Amazon, so cheers for that.
  6. Rayman Legends

    My copy arrived today and I'd have to echo everything you said about how awesome it is. I have you on my PSN list and some of the scores you're setting in the challenges are tough as hell (unless I just suck, quite likely) and it's quite disheartening because (a) no-one else on my FL is playing it and (b) it took me bloody ages just to top your score in the daily challenge (albeit by only 3 lums), I haven't got anywhere near your other scores. That said, it adds another level of awesome to an already great game.
  7. Xbox One Console Discussion

    TBF, the signs of increased focus on everything-other-than gaming have been on the cards for the last couple of years. It was the principle reason I finally jumped ship after last years E3. On that showing, I won't be jumping back onboard anytime soon.
  8. Tales of Xillia

    Definitely a day one purchase for me. I'm not sure if I can justify the £80 price tag for the extra items in the Collector's Edition so I'll probably 'make do' with the Day 1 Edition.
  9. Dark Souls II

    I still have some concerns about From's quest for accessibility but time will tell on that. I won't lie and say that the gameplay demo didn't get me just a little excited though. I really need to work on my backlog and get back to my NG+ on Dark Souls, inc starting the DLC, as well as restarting Demon's (seeing as I made so little progress and it's been a while since I last played it).
  10. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    Some of my favourites from last year, whether they'll appeal to you or not is another matter Sleeping Dogs Asura's Wrath Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Dragon's Dogma Lollipop Chainsaw Tales of Graces f A couple of those I played on the 360 before switching consoles so I ended up buying them again (yeah, I know ).
  11. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    Tough call! Personally, I got more enjoyment from Far Cry 3 and it was one of my favourite games last year. That said, I've had no real desire to return to it since completion. Dishonored was certainly enjoyable and a pleasant surprise, it also has the added appeal of going back to redoing missions for different tactics/approaches etc, something I've not done yet but will do when time allows. It defeats the purpose of your initial question but you really need to grab them both.
  12. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    Funnily enough, I was thinking of making a start on it this evening. I managed to complete the first game earlier today and ended up loving it ( I really didn't see that ending coming, although thinking about it, I should have done) so it makes sense to jump straight into the sequel. The wasn't one of those franchises that made me think about making the jump to PS3 so I really wasn't going to bother with the game initially. Now I'm glad that I didn't miss out.
  13. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    A bit late to the party but because I've had inFamous 2 sitting on my HDD for months (c/o PS+) I figured it would be worth picking up and playing through the prequel first. Started it a couple of days ago and whilst I wasn't too sure about it at first, now that I'm closing in on finishing up at the first island I'm slowly getting suckered in. Guess that's another advantage of picking up a PS3 really late, in that I still have a massive back catalogue of cheap games to go through/hunt down.
  14. Deep Down

    This was one of the very few things that I found potentially interesting last night. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch of the imagination to call it Dragon's Dogma 2 and if that proves to be the case I'll have no complaints as I absolutely loved the first one.
  15. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    I do think it was largely due to me wasting them recreating items and then not having much luck when I needed them. Thankfully it's a moot point now, just completed the quest I alluded to earlier and I got a new recipe in which the only item I'm missing is Ring-A-Bells so that'll be nice and easy
  16. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    Will have to keep searching then, I'm also struggling with Evil Eyes, All Seeing Eyes and Glowstones which would prevent me having to worry about the really rare stuff, so I may just persevere with those instead. I'm also missing three recipes which I'm hoping will be given to me when I finish my one last remaining quest
  17. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    I'm sure the 'Mad Scientist' trophy is going to break me, I'm now up to 119 created items and it looks like I'll have no choice but to go after a few more Kaleidostones or Scrolls of Truth* and it's been a slog with nothing dropping AT ALL. It's not been helped by the fact that despite being set to 'All-Defend' and 'Do nothing' the AI has still found a way to grab the last couple of gold glims that have dropped. *One or two other recipes may just be possible but they also involve items that seem to be very rare steals but also not the rarest of items for the creatures that hold them so the gold glim method can't be relied upon either.
  18. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    Good work! If it's the hidden chests one you're after that'll be easy. I managed to grab that one before I even completed the game.
  19. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    Currently quite a few hours into the post-game and still loving it. Absolutely loved the main game and I'd have to think long and hard to find any faults with it. I wouldn't mind going after the Platinum and the majority of my remaining trophies are ones that involve grinding, going after the rarer materials may not be much fun so I'll see how I get on. I'd rather go without the plat than have my enjoyment of the game potentially ruined by any grind.
  20. Dark Souls

  21. Dark Souls

    That makes it sound like you didn't open the short cut which I would have thought wasn't too hard to miss. Unless it's just the first couple of swinging axes you're mistiming, in which case there really isn't an excuse. Haste isn't valid:p
  22. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    I wouldn't hesitate in recommending PS+. It was another factor that made me switch consoles last June and subscribing was one of the first things I did, I haven't looked back. That said, because of it, I have a stack of games on my HDD which I still haven't found time to get to but that's never a bad thing, right? It was also the reason why I decided to stick a 1TB HDD in the console within three months of owning the thing. I'm not sure whether we'll see Okami HD on the service anytime soon but I bought it the day it came out (despite already completing it on the Wii) and I haven't regretted it, although it's another one that is currently sitting in my backlog.
  23. Dark Souls

    Just wait until you meet
  24. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    I picked it up on the day it launched and played it for a while. Whilst I was really enjoying it I only got to Act 6, not sure how far in that is, before it got relegated to my pile of unfinished games. I really do need to find the time to get back into it.
  25. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    I'm the same, just haven't had the heart to drop him yet. I do love the evolution of familiars though, there's been a few that I've tamed and initial thoughts were 'these aren't going to be much cop' but before you know it they've suddenly become my go-to guys. Unfortunately I've not been able to find as much time for this over the last couple of days as I'd have liked. Currently just over 20hrs in and I'm only just past the bit where you get the boat. The fact that it took me that long just to reach that part speaks volumes about how easy it is just to get sidetracked in this beautifully realised world. Apart from doing as many sidequests and bounty hunts as possible (merit stamps have become addictive) I've also been spending a fair amount of time hunting down hidden areas and chests. I don't think I want this game to ever end.
