Re: Beams Golf Gear Swings Onto Everybody's Golf on PS4

@Elodin I haven't been on for a little while either , I've still only unlocked one extra course since release day as me and the wife only really play each other so gain no experience points to unlock stuff.
I noticed today that both the DLC courses are heavily reduced in price in the Games under £16 sale so think I'll bite the bullet tonight .

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 199

MinerWilly

I recently began FF XV ( my first ever FF) . I'm actually really growing to like it , Noctis is a bit of a rude knob and Prompto is annoying but Gladio and especially Ignis are great characters.
Struggling a bit with knowing what's going on with the combat but have now reached rank 21 so hoping it will click soon !

Re: EU PS Store Reloads with All-New Weekend Discounts

MinerWilly

My PSN was due to expire then automatically renew on boxing day so I just bought the discounted 12 month thing , will this now stop Sony taking the £50 .
The reason I ask is they took it out twice a couple of years ago then when I called their helpline they said they could only refund the duplicate payment as PSN store credit which was pretty damn cheeky of them in fact it was very damn cheeky !

Re: Gran Turismo Sport Scores Traditional Single Player Campaign for Free

MinerWilly

I have had this a week now and am loving it.
I bought it knowing exactly what I was getting and was absolutely fine with that. Mr Kaz explained months ago this was online based multiplayer sport and I appreciate his honesty .
It seems practically every major release now there is some whinefest bandwagon that people and journalists jump on , getting a bit tiring now. 'EA turned me into a newt, but I got better'.

Re: Guide: New PS4 Games in October 2017

MinerWilly

@JoeBlogs I sunk so many hours into the Road Rash series. It was the first game I can think of where the AI seemed to have a brain and hold grudges against you , a few years back I tried it on an emulator and quickly switched it off.
It Was amazing at the time but like 95% of retro gaming is best left alone.

Re: Hands On: Chernobyl VR Shows How Educational Experiences Can Excel in Virtual Reality

MinerWilly

I've not got a VR set yet but would definitely be interested in trying this along with Everest and that Titanic experience you mentioned.
I'd really like to be able to just sit in a virtual deckchair on a beach listening to the waves and read a book whilst sat in my armchair. The occasional seagull squawk ahhh.. then a load of teenagers show up playing music out of their mobile phones arrgh!

Re: Sony Flags Timed Gran Turismo Sport Demo for 9th October

MinerWilly

Surprised they're bothering releasing a demo it just allows all the people who don't enjoy the series to then create some kind of negative vibe about something or other that doesn't bother the rest of the world , teenage angst about stuff like Digital Foundry ,pop ups , screen tearing or fps. Yawn.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing the Destiny 2 Beta This Weekend?

MinerWilly

I know I would enjoy it but my main resolution is to try and get through backlog of games and the only way to do this is to avoid multiplayer games ( even BF1 ) .
So far managed to do Inside , Firewatch (almost) , Titanfall 2 , Until Dawn and have been playing the Witcher almost exclusively since March. Still got to begin - Horizon Zero Dawn , Fallout 4 , FF15 , Dishonoured , Dishonoured 2 , Gravity Rush , Alien Isolation , Wolfenstein Old Blood and others I've forgot I've even bought.
Multiplayer just stops me actually getting anywhere in backlog. 🙁

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of E3 2017?

MinerWilly

I enjoyed it especially by just reading my favourite sites like this one and watching PlayStation Access videos of news. I never bother watching those livestreams though .
Just watched the PlayStation Access guys playing something called Kingdom Come : Deliverance , that was totally under my radar , it looks brilliant.

Re: Days of Play Discounts Dominate PS4 Store in NA and EU

MinerWilly

I finally got Horizon Zero Dawn today , nipped into Sainsburys for a Jimmy Riddle and there it was at my magic price point of £27.99 . My wife has wanted it for ages but she's got to finish Bioshock first and me The Witcher 3. Hopefully it won't be that cheap in this sale but like I said earlier I prefer physical copies especially of the great games.
