The WWE Network? Sub for a month and then quit it.

Just finished it. Its solid 7.5/10, a good game held back by a few things. It took me around 9 hours give or take a few minutes to finish it on normal. The stealth stuff whilst not bad it wasn't good either, maybe a little more time on that to tighten it up. The cover system was serviceable but after the dynamic cover systems in TLoU and TR its hard to go back to a system that glues you to an object. The gunplay is nice and punchy with some damn fine weapons to use. The Lycans are however abit of a disappointment, not used to their full potential at all. Visually the game is by far the best there has been and art direction is fantastic. In fact the presentation taken as a whole is outstanding, the visuals, the fantastic OST, sound effects, good story and excellent voice acting elevate the game. The ending however whilst fine is not how you end a story, it feels a little unresolved. The whole game oozes atmosphere. For their first original effort on the PS4 RaD have done good work and have laid the foundation for a fantastic sequel which I hope they get to make because I adore the world they have built.

Cutscenes can be lengthy there is no denying that and for some they might just be abit too much (they're not MGS length). But they are so well acted with the best lip synching and amazing animation I cant just help but sit back and watch. The tone of the story is very much like that show Penny Dreadful if you have ever seen it. The games structure is like and odd mish mash of Gears of War, Heavy Rain and a Telltale game but without the choice making. As for the overall length of the game I cant really say. I haven't finished it yet but I do think it'll be around 9 or 10 hours for me. Just like I did with The Last of Us I cant help but walk around and marvel at the visuals which are by far the best I have ever seen. They are fucking CG quality mate, its unreal. I said it before but on more than one occasion I've been waiting for the cutscene to end when it already has. Wth every other game there is an obvious cut from the cutscene to the gameplay and a somewhat downgrade in the visuals but with this its all the same graphics and seamless. The attention to detail is astounding. One odd negative though erm character models don't have reflections in mirrors I don't see any other game this year beating this when it comes to the visuals. Not even Uncharted 4. Its not going to be a game for everyone but I do suggest people give it a chance if not now but when its cheaper if you don't want to risk it. Its worth a few quid just to see the visuals, detail and general over all quality of the presentation on a big screen which I know is very graphics whore of me. EDIT ------------------------- Another video, this time of chapter 11. No story spoilers just location/level.

I don't think it'll be an issue. I honestly don't think the likes of Aquaman will be in it for any kind of significant time. Bats and Supes will be the focus with a good chunk of WW thrown in. Gaurdians of the Galaxy also proved you can do a team up movie with a whole bunch of characters and make it work just fine. I also don't think DC need to copy Marvel in regards to setting up the universe.

I wouldn't call 3 years from announcement to release rushing. I'm sure they have this planned out properly and the likes of Aquaman and Cyborg are more than likely going to be brief cameos to set up JL.

I think the game keeps getting better the further I get into it but like said and I mean this it is a really slow paced game, if you cant stomach a game like that then it might not be for you.

A brief update, the game is definitely slow paced so if that isn't your kind of thing then this game is not for you and some cutscenes would benefit from a slighting trimming but overall I'm still really enjoying this game. I've upload two short videos, the second however is spoiler territory so watch at your own risk.

MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD. I am pumped.

Visuals are outstanding, controls are tight and responsive. The gunplay is nice and punchy. Movement speed increases when in combat by a decent amount. First impressions are positive. Just got done with a solid hour and a half of the game and my first impressions are very positive. The game oozes atmosphere, art direction is outstanding, the visuals as a whole are probably the best I've even seen on any format. Twice during my first time playing it now I've waited for a cutscene to end when it already has. These visuals are unreal, the indoors especially are beautiful. The gunplay is responsive, has a nice feel to it with the right amount of recoil. The cover system is snappy and does the job just fine, maybe some slight issues going around corners when you have to hold a button in. The QTE's that I experienced during the opening 15 or so minutes were handled well enough. AI might become an issue, hard to tell so early in the game but they seem slow to get into cover. Level layout for the gun battles I had were done quite well with a decent amount of room to move around and flank. The story hasn't really gotten started but it seems like it might be interesting. I had no idea it was connected to the

A quick update to my step dads cancer saga. Its a type of skin cancer in his throat that I forget the name of. He's been given a 50/50 chance of survival (like that movie). He's got to start having chemo 5 days a fucking week for 6 weeks to see if they can shrink the cancer. Urgh. Fuck cancer.

On PS4

I was playing Dying Light earlier and stumbled upon this Easter Egg.

Hahahahaha...no. Good news but its a shame about Garfield, he was a great Spidey.

I've given up on guessing what Nintendo would and would not do. Crazy if it turns out to be true. You'd need a decent budget to pull it off well.

Bought one of those Ikea glass cabinets and put my Transformers in.

Just this second found out about the no voice chat in match making. Well I guess that's one less game I have to buy this year. Pathetic.

I'm assumed it had something to do with download and play. I could boot the game up after the initial download but there was a long ass install time.

My step dad had his surgery yesterday and they could only remove the right tonsil, the growth on his left was too big to get out so they had to take a little off and we are awaiting the results of the biopsy for that and we are still waiting for the MRI results to see if its spread out through his body because of the lymph nodes but he'll defo be in this cancer saga for some time as he'll need at least 6-12 months of chemo and radiotherapy and even then the doctors don't know if he'll be ok at the end of it, too early to tell. Luckily I'm unemployed (odd thing to say I know) but I'll be here to care for him officially. Next Friday on the 13th there will be a meeting with the doctors I can go to with my mom and step dad and get all the info I need. FUCK CANCER.

I'm liking the new Naruto filler. It probably wont be as good as the original chunin exams but I think its going to be fun.

cdkeys.com have Black Flag download for £2.99, get on dat shit. http://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/games/assassin-s-creed-iv-4-black-flag-xbox-one

Eh, I don't give a shit about multiplayer or a forced horde mode. Give me a well built single player and I'm sold. And if its good enough I'll play through it 3 or 4 times.

That was a little dark for FF wasn't it?

lol I was going to get MP trilogy when I realised I don't have a Wiimote. I forgot about that and I'm not buying another one of those after looking at the prices of them.

The new controls make dodging enemies really, really easy.
