Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of May 2016

MinerWilly

Can't vote as sadly don't own any of them but would like them all , wife's just had our first baby on Wednesday so should be getting all these in the bargain bin in 2018 ! Managed to sneak in a little Zen Pinball Force Awakens table this morning !
I'll make sure he's a gamer , as need excuse to get PS5 , PS6 etc ....

Re: Review: Overwatch (PS4)

MinerWilly

@morrisseymuse Agreed if this was by EA everyone would be banging on about it having no single player and that EA turned them into a newt... etc , will give it a go in 6 months or so when it'll no doubt have more content and be £25, it sounds really good fun.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 117

MinerWilly

Managed to squeeze in a paltry 1 hour on Mad Max and an even more pathetic 10 minutes on the Outer Rim free weekend thing . Weather is too good in England at the moment to be gaming as it never lasts long here so I've tried to make the most of it.
Jealous of all you lot on U4 but first baby due next week so going to have hands full for a while , I'll be in trouble if I pay £40 that could be spent on nappies !

Re: Everything You Need to Know About Battlefield 1 on PS4

MinerWilly

For me personally this is the biggest most exciting gaming news of the last few years , been playing since the original 1942 on PC and love the franchise more than any other but Hardline was the first BF game I haven't bought , perhaps DICE realised it was time for a return to the older Wars to get veterans like me to return , this will be one of the very very very few games I'll pre-order and pay full whack for.

Re: Rumour: Battlefield 5 Is Going to Blow Up Next Week

MinerWilly

Still happy enough with the amazing BF4 but if it was a full remake of 1942 with the original artillery spotting system, ships , U-boats , B-17s ,Lancasters , Stukas etc and the best dogfighting in any game ever then I'd pay £100 gladly. Probably the best game ever.

Re: Review: Alienation (PS4)

MinerWilly

Didn't enjoy Deaf Nation either , even when playing it co-op , think I left these games behind with Smash TV , Gauntlet and The Chaos Engine back in the 80s and 90s.
Really liked Resogun and Super Stardust HD but perhaps twin stick scrolling top down shooters are best left in the past for me when they where fresh and new. (Same as 2D games)

I got GTA 5 on PS4 for £25 this week , completed it on PS3 but never played online have created a character 'Vic Mackey' and will be going through the tutorials in a bit , then get a car and save for a garage. Also hope to squeeze in some Battlefront , Mass Effect and Destiny. ( the wife's away ! )

Re: Review: Kholat (PS4)

MinerWilly

My Missus loved the Rapture game ,think this could be her cup of tea. Still waiting for decent price drop on Until Dawn and Life is Strange.

Re: The Division's Servers Are Up Earlier than Expected

MinerWilly

Managed to download the beta but never had a chance to try it so looking forwards to the reviews , seems a bit mixed here but then I loved Driveclub ,Battlefield and Battlefront from day one and everyone hated on them too. Might just take a chance ,I reckon it'll score a lot of sevens a bit like Destiny.

Re: Street Fighter V Seems to Have Flopped Pretty Freakin' Hard

MinerWilly

Not surprised , haven't bought a fighting game since the original Soul Caliber or was it called something else here in Europe ? , couldn't believe the fuss for this a couple of weeks ago , was it just because it was an exclusive that Sony and PlayStation fansites hyped it up , button bashing games died with PS1 in my eyes.

Re: Review: Heavy Rain (PS4)

MinerWilly

@thiz My favourite title since ICO on PS2 , think 5/10 is extremely harsh but like he said at beginning it's a devisive title ,if me or you had rereviewed it'd have been an 8.5 or 9. It's the only game I've ever completed in one weekend sitting ,it was so good.

Re: BioShock: The Collection PS4 Rating Reveals Rapture Return

MinerWilly

Started Mass Effect 1 just a couple of weeks back after having never played them loving it so far and I've the other 2 ready to play as well , I bet by the time I've finished them there'll be a remaster !
I own the original BioShock but only did about 20% of it (like most games I own) . I'd be interested in getting the remastered trilogy for PS4 so I can do the 20% again.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 104

MinerWilly

Finished Game of Thrones ,played a little Battlefront , a little Rainbow , Kings Quest Chapter 1 , and just bought Mass Effect 1 and 3 from the EA sale , almost bought trilogy but realised PS+ had already given us ME2. Never played them so looking forward to some serious gaming and leave the multiplayer shooters for a bit.
Very tempted to buy Life is Strange after hearing so many great things about it ,only 15 quid but might hang fire a little longer in case it goes in a sale. After Liverpool's capitulation I have started early non my Saturday night beers. Mignolet is just not good enough. Bah. ...

Re: Review: World of Tanks (PS4)

MinerWilly

It sounds a lot like War Thunder , I gave up at all that research stuff ,I just didn't get it. Obsessed with ww2 planes and tanks so should really be my thing but lack of explanations mean I never got past the biplane you begin with !
