Are you high? Why do you think I haven't mentioned this before?

The last thing we need is you and I egging each other on in live blackjack online whilst drunk. That's a fucking terrible idea.

Made $20 the whole afternoon. That is really not a lot - but it's not a loss.

Got $10 on the Socceroos tomorrow. I'll be up to $100 after three weeks of an initial $40 deposit. Baby fucking steps.

Nah, one thing I don't do is gamble on the internet.

I waste $12 a week on Saturday lotto, that's it.

Still racin' Mario Kart 8.

Played Wasteland 2 for about 10 hours over the weekend. Pretty good game so far, plenty of old school throwbacks to Wasteland, and feels like an updated version of Fallout 1 & 2. Combat is tough though - getting the right mix of characters is vital in this game. I'm considering restarting with a new party.

I have a key for this game leftover from Kickstarter. I'm willing to sell it for $20 if anyone is thinking of buying the game (RRP is $40 on Steam).

Mario Kart 8 online racing.

FIFA 15

So you know who died in RDR, is the game over?

Apparently I'm suppose to met a stranger in Blackwater, can't find him.

Ugh I knew I should of went pawn shop shopping this morning.

Go to the train station in Blackwater.

Yeah I figured it out, watching the credits roll as I type.

Time to restart Witcher 2.

Anyone here playing the new Cod? I have mixed opinions about it. It's almost as if i'm forcing myself to like it because I decided to give Cod a chance, but I don't know. I'll make up my mind if I want a refund or keep it after a month or two.

The ending of The Witcher 2 left a bad taste in my mouth, it was just too abrupt.

Picked up Devil may cry 4 & Fable 2 GOTYE

I doubt that I ever will. I've played most of the COD's up until a few years ago, and largely enjoyed them, but the recent ones just haven't really tweaked any interest in me.

I played the first Modern Warfare, then 8 more came out and I just never felt like trying to catch up.

I picked up OlliOlli in a Humble sale lately (may still be on sale). It's a cool game, kinda like a 2D Tony Hawk. Pretty tough, and the controls are a little weird, but I've been enjoying it.

Gaming has been neglected on Fourtheye for too long!

Recently I've been enjoying:

• Crypt of the Necrodancer
• Elite: Dangerous
• Pillars of Eternity
• Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

I also purchased Dirt Rally the other day, which is pretty good fun. Also very much looking forward to Witcher 3 out in a couple of weeks!

Yea it was usually UKE who kept this thread going, he needs to bring his sweet ass out of lurking.

I rarely use my ps3 for gaming (I'm not much of a gamer except for one here and there) but a friend recommended a game called Heavenly Sword to me so I bought it for $6 on amazon. So I'll see how that goes.

Also at some point this summer my friend's gonna lend me GTA V.

The Witcher series is on sale on Steam right now. You can both games for less than $5.

So the first impressions of The Witcher 3 are pretty good! Anyone who likes Skyrim would most likely dig this. The graphics are pretty good, and the world seems unreasonably large. You even get a horse to ride around Red Dead Redemption style!

Controls are a little on the wonky side though, with keyboard and mouse anyway. Might give it a shot with the controller when I play again this evening.

Updated Witcher 3 thoughts:

• Game is much better with a controller. Movement is still a bit fiddly though.
• Now that I'm out of the "tutorial area" (which is still pretty big - about the equivalent of one of the main areas in Witcher 2) the world seems gigantic. I read something that suggests the map is bigger than GTAV, which in turn is much bigger than Skyrim.
• That said, the map isn't as packed with things to do as Skyrim is. That's not necessarily a bad thing however, since in Skyrim I often felt like you couldn't turn around without seeing a dungeon or some other mini-quest location. You need to get off the beaten track a little more to find stuff (though they're still marked on the map, so they're not too hard to find). This makes the world feel a little more real
• The story and content are pretty dark as you'd expect from a Witcher game.
• Horse riding is a little fiddly at times, especially compared to how well it's handled in games like Red Dead Redemption and Mount & Blade
• Combat feels a little shallow. If they were able to combine the game with a combat system similar to the Batman games or Shadow of Mordor it would be fantastic.
• It seems like the game wants to encourage you to use stealth from time to time, but there really isn't any sneaking mechanism.

Overall it's a great game, not sure it's a 10/10 but is easily a 9/10.

I've been playing Mark Of The Ninja and this level I just played had some terrible checkpoints. Twice I've respawned in the path of an enemy. One I could at least avoid by moving quickly, the other was literally a tiny room with a guard in it who was two feet in front of me and immediately put me into an alert state. Like what the hell, level designers? This is some bullshit.

Mark of the Ninja was a cool game. I don't remember that particular scene though.

Bloodborne

So I downloaded Indigo Prophecy some time ago, and I'm thinking about maybe booting it up and playing it now, but the one time I tried to play it I played through the tutorial level and watched the intro cutscene and the writing was just so terrible. I'm not sure I actually want to play it now.

I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying the original Witcher game. In some ways I think I like it better than 2.

Her Story is only $5 on Steam right now. I've played it and it's pretty good, well worth checking out at that price.
