So I've certainly been enjoying Metal Gear Solid V so far, but story wise it's been tough piecing the backstory together, which is understandable. I gotta sit down during my next missions and really listen through the tapes again.

I've got the itch for a shooter again so I just ordered Battlefield 1. Never played a battlefield game before so this should be interesting. If anyone plays on PS4 and has a platoon/clan that can be of some help as I'm starting up it would be appreciated.

I loved battlefield 1. It's a ton of fun, I sort of dropped off playing it because I got back into overwatch.

BF1 is great!  Got all the trophies except for the one where you have to down 10 aircraft (in 30 secs) with AA gun on top of airship.  Just too difficult to get or I'm just too old.  Looked it up on youtube how to do it and still can't get it.   :(

As was expected nintendo are soon releasing the SNES classic in september

https://www.wired.com/story/new-super-nes-classic-continues-nintendos-retro-renaissance/




Personally, I would rather them just make the virtual console available for the switch (which they are probably delaying to increase sales of this thing). I really don't want to hook up this thing to my tv and have a wired controller, when I have a kick ass hand held device in the switch that would be perfect for playing SNES games. But whatever.

Also, its $80 dollars, which is too expensive as far as I am concerned.

Personally, I like the SNES classic better than the NES, mostly because it has a cool game list (Star Fox 2 never released?!) and also because I never owned an SNES I'd be more interested in playing those games.  But I really am just turned off by Nintendo's marketing strategy with these as a way to sell more Switch units.

That is a great game list that covers most bases in terms of the classics. I wish they'd included DKC2 as well as 1.

I'll stick to playing them either on my PC emulated, or on the real console though.

This time, I made sure to preorder the damn thing.  :lol I already have a SNES, lots of games and even an upscaler but what this thing has is a lot of games never released in Europe, like frigging Earthbound! Not to mention Star Fox 2 which wasn't released ANYWHERE.

So are there any pc games out there at the moment which are really FUN to play? I sort of bummed out on playing DOOM and the wait for Wolfenstein is too long.
I've looked at Overwatch but can't seem to find it on pc.

Why doesn't Nintendo connect these minis to an online store and let us buy/have more than 21 games? You can fit the entire SNES library on a 2GB SD card.

You're hardly the first one to ask this. Because Nintendo, I guess. And I would guess securing the rights for all of those games might be hard too.

I think I'll get one of these for the novelty of it. I have my original SNES but not very many games. Plus people figured out how to put more ROMs on the NES classic pretty quickly, so I don't see why I wouldn't be able to add any games I want to it - DKC2 being one glaring omission that I will immediately rectify.

TF2 is great, but at this point, I'd recommend going to Overwatch (which is definitely on PC) over TF2.  Either way, Battlegrounds is where the fun is at IMO but it's not quite the same as the FPS mentioned.

Thanks. Somehow I'm having trouble creating an account. The page doesn't seem to recognise my birth-date entry ?  I tried a single digit and a double one, what else is there to do?   :blush

Uhm I think so? The page says something like 'This field can't be blank' but theres only space for two digits and I've tried both 5 and 05 but it keeps saying the same thing. So I'm not so sure now.

I'll try again when I get home, am a t work now.

the main problem I have with overwatch is the low skill floor and low skill ceiling. fight for a while, press q to murder everything, etc. it's also not difficult to aim in the game at all. tf2 is much more challenging, and far more satisfying imo

Without a doubt Prey, if you wan't a great SP game. When it comes to MP,  I recently tried Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. It's a bit unforgiven at times but really fun if you like team/squad based FPS games.

I know that GTA5 got a PS4 remaster, but I am kind of bummed out that despite 4 years of being out, this console generation didn't get a dedicated Grand theft auto  :-[

PS2 got 3 GTA games
PS3 got 2 GTA games
PS4 has 0 GTA games (besides that GTAV remaster)

Got overwatch and it's indeed a very fun game! A bit like Quake III was, but quirkier.

Thanks for all the suggestions though.  I'll look into Prey as well.

I won't argue that there is a lower skill ceiling in overwatch over tf 2 but it can still be very challenging in ranked matches.

I'm guessing VI will be, and Red Dead 2 was built 100% around the current gen. That's almost as good.

So uh..I won Mass Effect Andromeda in a giveaway. I already have Mass Effect Andromeda. Figures. Only thing I've won and I have it.  :rollin

Anyone want it? Just lemme know either on here or PM, I'll send the CD key over. Otherwise it'll eventually be forgotten and just sit there till it gets digital dust all over it.

I was thinking about trying to resell it on either eBay or one of those key sites but it's not worth the hassle for a few extra bucks.
