Re: Gran Turismo Sport Has Added Over 100 Cars for Free Since Launch

MinerWilly

GT Sport has been brilliant since day one , I only stopped playing it to concentrate on my backlog but this article has just reminded me I haven't played it since march so I might have even more tracks to play now even though I was satisfied with the amount it released with.
I never thought I'd enjoy the daily challenges etc but they are integrated brilliantly.

Re: Talking Point: What's the Background Behind Your PSN Username?

MinerWilly

Mine is named after the first truly gaming megastar in Europe , he starred in Manic Miner , Jet Set Willy & Jet Set Willy 2 . Mario was not even really a thing here in the Eighties as the NES had poor sales ,that changed with the 16 bit consoles and people switching from Sinclairs , Commodores , Amstrads , Tandy's etc.

Re: Rocket League Cross-Play Seems Likely on the PS4

MinerWilly

Really not bothered , I get beaten by some randoms one day , I play another day and get beaten by another set of randoms.
I guess if I knew anybody with an Xbox all this would be exciting developments but Ive never been interested in crossplay as all my generation who had PS1 are still with PS. It's mainly for the old folks , that should be Sony's new tagline.

Re: Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in October 2018

MinerWilly

Haven't bought a new release this year ( sorry Devs ) but RdR2 will change that . I have a HUGE backlog , to put things into perspective I've just finished Bioshock which I bought in I think 2008. Just started HZD which I bought last Christmas.
Teenagers and singles you are lucky lucky bar stewards, enjoy your gaming times but it's best to be a year or two or even decades behind as everything is so cheap then !

Re: Review: Valkyria Chronicles 4 (PS4)

MinerWilly

Great news , hope it sells more copies than the original . It became a cult classic slowly but surely then I think a lot of new people picked it up digitally years later as boxed copies where like gold dust.
I loved the original but am ashamed to admit I never finished it but along with Heavy Rain I have great PS3 memories .

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Marvel's Spider-Man?

MinerWilly

Maybe will get in a couple of years when it's about £12.99 on the PSN store . Working on a cracking backlog and feel no need to buy any game for full price.
Haven't bought a new release in 2018 that may well change with Red Dead Redemption 2. I only just finished PS3 red dead last year !

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 218

MinerWilly

The weather is too good here on Merseyside , even for gaming.
If I was playing I'd be playing the Blood & Wine dlc but instead I'll be spending the evening in the garden drinking Margaritas and cooking on the BBQ . You just can't waste these good days in the UK then start moaning in October about what a poor summer we had .
As an outdoors sort of person I believe Geralt would approve .

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 216

MinerWilly

I'm going to begin the Blood & Wine dlc for The Witcher 3 , I finished Hearts of Stone midweek . Unbelievable , absolutely astonishing . You can take all your God of Wars , Horizons , Lasts of Us etc . The Witcher 3 is the best thing I've ever played and I've been doing this since 1979 , going to be so sad at end of Blood & Wine.

Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of April 2018

MinerWilly

I'll get GoW in a couple of years . I am way behind the times ( just finished Dishonoured 1 ) I need to start Horizon Zero Dawn , Alien Isolation , Dishonoured 2 , Prey , Wolfenstein, Hellblade , Edith Finch, Oxen Free , Bloodborne, Rachet, Fallout 4 .... I haven't bought any blockbusters yet this year.
It's good having massive backlogs because I get everything cheap in future sales .

Re: Hands On: WipEout PSVR Will Absolutely Melt Your Mind

MinerWilly

Just in time for Ready Player One , which I'm off to see in 2 hours ! Already own Wipeout , this could well make me buy PSVR . I take a lady in my taxi to Sony Liverpool every so often and she mentioned they where working on something very secret , I wonder was this it ?

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Local Multiplayer Games

MinerWilly

Everybody's Golf is my favourite local multiplayer game since PS1 and my wife loves it too. Also only one controller required. Scrolled further and further down thinking it must be No1 but not at all . Guess not everyone likes it. Me and the missus don't even enjoy golf but this series is brilliant fun .
