Another great vr fighting game worth a look is gorn. Similar in many ways but a more animated wacky gladiator style with incredible physics. The weapons really feel accurate to the movement. Its only a cheap game, but after a few days does get a little repetitive, but great for 15 quid.

Hell yes

RDR2 is the greatest piece of art thus far created

I have an aversion to "wild west" themes but I bet I'd love this as a game if I could get past it. Might give it a try if it comes up extra cheap and see if I can bare the cowboyary lol

These sorts of big single player games have been getting a lot more popular this gen, I hope the trend continues. Ghost of tsushima looks good, obvs Witcher3 for me but Horizon Zero Dawn is another that's just so, so impressive although I couldn't get into it at first.

im with you on the genre but this a genre changer

Single player was beautifully made, it's a shame that online didn't hit as hard as it could've, I never played online for long.

GTA has to be one of the best games to play when your smashed without a doubt, I could just drive my car round for days when I'm stoned haha

Easy win for GTA. Although nba2k is overated

aha

Yeah done that and got totally lost for hours.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1+ 2 for the Switch and
Persona 5 Royal - Ps4- are my favourites RPGs for the last Gen.
They just feel right, the persona soundtrack is an awesome steak dinner for your audiophile soul.
Xenoblade Chronicles is just one of those good old times 100 hours story
RPGs that leaves a bittersweet aftertaste while the outro takes your experience into memory land.

Persona is so great, I love the Shin Megami Tensei series

Ghost of tsukushima, god of war and spiderman, ( all Sony excusive,) witcher 3 qnd rdr2,the only game I want to keep on this gen

Good shout on spiderman PS4 and god of war

GTA V was probably the best

It was an amazing game to be fair, great story playthough as well switching between the 3. Mad to think it came on the previous gen, it must be almost 10years old now? I wonder if we'll ever get a new one though?

Possibly in the future

I’m waiting for cyberpunk myself

Now that's going to be a special game! hope it can meet the hype its set, looks amazing.

Absolutely terrible on last gen consoles

Got cyberpunk on the cheap, flawed game for sure, not as amazing as expected. Reading that it runs best on Xbox series s, not the x, wtf….

I love racing games so at moment I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 a lot, Red Dead Redemption 2 is worth a look and you'd have to have a heart of stone not to cry playing it.

I recently re discovered the world of Sony PlayStation having been xboxing for years. Got a PS4 on the cheap about 8 months before ps5 came out. Playing their exclusives I have to say some of them are the best, in my opinion of last gen. So my list starts with last of us, last of us 2,any Nathan drake game, horizon dawn. Then you got to have GTA5 and RdDR2. Gems for me are things like little nightmares, hotline Miami 1 & 2. The Res Evil 2 remake was awesome. And my fav game of recent times that has matured like a fine wine, is Days Gone. In case you wondered, I love a zombie apocalypse game….goes well with a spliff or 2. You can get most of these games on the cheap now. A mention for ghost of tshumia , got a ps5 update as well, so if you got a ps5 you can play the last great PS4 exclusive in shiny ps5 mode….

Resi Evil tell ya what Mr. X/Tyrant or whatever that big bastard is called seemed a lot more chewy in the remake he did my head right in lmao I almost walked away from it at one point

Playing last of us 2 atm since it came to PS plus, recently switched it over to the PS5 there's no update for it but it looks amazing anyway and loads quicker now :)

Last of us 2 such a great game, only hated by people who couldn’t get their heads around a more interesting take on seeing different sides of the coin….I won’t say more than that in case of spoiler….

Yeah I'm in the second half of the game so I get what you mean and I agree mate another great game just like the first was :)

The new COD is actually quite good, I haven't really liked the Call of duty series for a while now but Cold war is really good especially the zombies

Showing my age now perhaps but I burnt out on 1st person shooters a long time ago. I remember playing half life, unreal tournament and the like, playing the first few CODS and Medal of Honours. These games really haven’t changed that much over the years except with better graphics etc, but maybe that can be said of most genres. At one point first person shooters would be all I played so maybe that is why I rarely play them these daysrecent first person shooter games I enjoyed though are alien isolation and Wolfenstein for a quick blast of ultra violence

I agree

Playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla atm, not far from the best in the franchise, and you do need to be a hardcore gamer to have fun.

Metal gear solid was my jam growing up

Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned but Goldeneye n64 multiplayer was 💩hot and original series ghost recon online team based multiplayer Xbox ⚡️

Not forgetting first gears of war🤙

Try and remember these in one post next time😅…. pipe line on the Commodore 64🤣🤣

Last one😂😂 Rtype …awesome shooter. And did any one play altered beast or curse of sherwood on spectrum 128k🤙 Almost finished far cry 6👍

Smash bros, Mario kart and zelda breath of the wild on the switch. Recently finished god of war and enjoyed that, the first spiderman was good but found the miles morales to be rushed and a glorified dlc.

Really enjoyed hellblade on xbox / pc.

Out of them breath of the wild takes it easily.

I'm 46 now and didn't play games much when I was younger but we all used to play Mario Kart on the cartridge console in all sorts of twisted states and used to have a total blast. Recently discovered PUBG on the IPad and am kind of hooked. It's so much fun and you end up doing stupid dances and stuff yet highly skillful also. Skydive in with your mates and let the mayhem commence.

Some of those old school games were the best for playing with a bunch of mates, some other good examples outside of mario kart. How about micro machines, does anyone remember speed ball…..back in the day the original tekken on PS got played a lot in my group, any of the old worms games, v good for taking turns, passing the blunt….

Those kart games are so much fun when stoned with mates, Crash Team Racer was our favourite back in the day good times haha :)

When I first saw Horizon Zero Dawn, I thought this game was weird, I never did play it at the time and it's usually not my sort of cup of tea but then my mate showed me it and I kind of enjoyed it, I enjoyed it so much I bought Forbidden West, I've finished that, which was an amazing game, now I'm patiently waiting on the third part of the series!

Just finished the Mass Effect legendary edition I'm going to put that out there as the best trilogy, first time I've played all 3 properly and on one save - I played it pretty much every day for the past 3 months lol at this point I am Shepard, my best friends are a Quarian named Tali and a Turian named Garrus and I AM commander of the Normandy! :P

Genuinely going to miss my jaunt around the galaxy but suppose at least now I can do some real life for a bit.. or maybe Andromeda? we'll see lol

Spliff in hand games...hearthstone, slay the spire.

Best game ATM is elden ring (imho)

I normally play shooters but I highly recommend ghost of Tsushima

I've heard a lot of good things about the ghost of Tsushima, will give it a look. cheers mate

Best game of PS4 generation, and it’s just got a PS5 update for all the lucky fuckers that have one

Red Dead 2- massive map and Amazing score

Thank you, I think I might get this one it does look very good

Just finished Subnautica. Really nice just looking around after a smoke. More relaxing than FPS. The Outer Wilds is another similar open world. Fantastic looking.

Totally agree, awesome game, so atmospheric.
On the open world side I'd add Rust. It's impossible not to enjoy Rust, even if you never manage to get further than hitting people with a rock while giggling maniacally

I gave up on normal servers a few years ago, I've been playing a RP/PVP server for all this time and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Peoples RP can change each wipe or stay the same if they like what they are doing.
We've done events in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IZogY8Ravo&feature=youtu.be
We do loads of stuff and it changes every month. There are wars and stuff but there are some rules that go with it.
Anyhows if you wanna check it out client.connect 54.39.130.212:28015

I love subnautica!!!

I've seen some gameplay of subnautica on YT it does look good, I'm definitely going to give it a try after a smoke thats sounds like a banging plan

If you have a PC it might be worth it looking into VR and buying a headset. Half-life Alyx is really good and will hopefully set the new standard for AAA VR games if they do end up really taking off.

Currently my PC isn't great but i'm looking at getting an upgrade. Have you got a VR headset, I would love to hear how good they are from an actual user. cheers

I like Metro 233 Redux, its on Steam for free. And I have been playing Fortnite with my boy, which is also pretty good! Maybe they arent the newest or coolest games around, but they are pretty good! :)

thanks mate, thats what really matter anyway

no worries! not so much of gamer since having kids tho... back in the day it was all about GTA. I took a month off work after getting it and a 5.1 system and a big bag of cheese :) if you are on steam then maybe give counter strike a go? its pretty good and keeps me outta trouble! :)

My pc isn't great atm so I'm not sure how it will run, but I'm planning on upgrading it soon anyway. So will definitely be playing it then

CS:GO runs basically on every pc :) probably first game i played on pc, oh my 1.6 how I miss you :p

it even runs on my Mac! :)

GTA online could be much better... I mean its great, but after sometime I just get annoyed by all overpowered stuff :/ It make it a playground for kids to play with the GTA SA cheats ahaha
But if you like Roleplay on GTA have a look at FIVEM.

Love gta role play servers. That’s why GTA will remain elite . Hope they bring some sort of role play in the new game

Borderlands 3 mate. Or Spider-Man miles morales if you like superhero games. I play cod all the time and like those two when wanting something different.

Cheers mate I've been looking for something a bit different

red dawn is like a gta reboot if you havent already

No haven't heard of this before, if its like gta I'm sure I will like it though, cheers mate

If you want a break from the norm I would recommend trying a few indie titles, I loved the little nightmares games, hotline Miami 1 & 2,

res evil 2 remake is good too. If you got a good pc, cyberpunk maybe.

Indie is where I think you find more interesting games these days, but there is also a lot more junk to go through to find the gems.

I have also been playing older indie titles again like limbo and inside, shadow complex and mark of the ninja, all great games in my opinion

Yeah you need to take a break from those triple aaa games like that, they all bleed into 1, like COD, let’s face it, it’s been the same game for years now. Try some refreshing indie games, play little nightmares 1 & 2, it’s great. The hotline Miami games are fun too. There are others, can’t think of them now, but will update if my stoney brain remembers…

Haha I seem to have replied twice to the same thing here, must have been smoking some good stuff at the time….

2 words. Hitman Trilogy. If you like roleplay with tasteful incorporated violence then youll be well away. Its AAA, but is single player only. Sandbox levels so intricately made it has unlimited playback potential. The vr on ps4 isnt great but i bet pc would be immense, although i haven't tried.

Try a game called Running with Rifles. Top.down shooter. Really good. Easy to pick up. Hard to put down.

Haha sounds good, I will give it a look cheers mate

No worries..if your keen on it and can't find any players DM me I'll add you on steam.

Thanks mate I'll let you know

Valheim on Steam... You will never look back!

My brother really likes that game but I don't know much about it, whats it like if you don't mind me asking, cheers mate

It's a cross between a survival game, RPG, Minecraft, Ark... It's hard to explain. But you basically have to level up a Viking character, build everything, craft weapons, etc. However it's all woven into a HUGE procedurally generated map (different in every game). It's SUPER chilled, but also great fun, creative, and rewarding. Check out 'Valheim worth a buy" on Youtube.. but don't watch any other videos as you'll ruin it for yourself. You'll get lost in this game... as will your free time.

If you want to check out something completely different mount and blade is a great game, you can get vanilla on xbox, or all sorts of mods on PC.
Or if you don't mind going really old with a game, X-com: terror from the deep. The gameplay in the older X-com games really puts the newer ones to shame. Terror from the deep in unfairly difficult, but it has a good atmosphere and you should get plenty of play time out of it.

Cheers for that mate, I like a challenge I will have a look at it

Have a look at Scum. It's a beautiful and the real survival game. Great graphics, great little details, you've to know some basic knowledge to really survive ahah
https://youtu.be/h488fgqQtZQ
And i can't go without mention my favourite game of all time, Arma 3. The one and only military simulatior. It's a little bit old but... See for yourself ;) https://youtu.be/9rXxa2a3iIw

I used to play Arma 3 a while ago now, very good game. I might have to hop back on it. Cheers mate

Oxygen not Incuded, Factorio if you are up for dabbling in engineery stuff
Doom 2016, no, really, try it, way better that the new one.
Anything from Zachatronic for casual puzzles.
Portal 2 - everyone should play Portal 2 I know it's old, but...

Cheers mate I sometimes think the older games are better than the new ones anyway

Decentralized game economies will help on all of these fronts
for a while ;)

what are decentralized game economies?

Basically instead of the game studio owning every piece of property in the game space, the players do. Tools, skins, characters and any other asset can be bought and sold by individuals in a free market. A blockchain records all transactions and facilitates this trade.

Thank you that's very interesting, seems like we could eventually all move into gamespace and stay there :)

I think the news is more dystopian. There is no racism in gamespace, no wicked presidents or prime ministers, no opiate crisis, no social distancing, lethal diseases, massive unemployment.

In fact, let me just have the blue pill right now.

That is the AAA gaming economy.

There is a huge amount of fun to be had from independently developed titles.

Pre-order culture and live service models also dominating AAA space.

Playstation for me but can any biggas confirm if the PS5 is actually real or is it part of some ruse? I've still never seen one! lol

Well can now confirm the PS5 is indeed real got my hands on one this week has hit my weed budget pretty badly lmao but they are amazing :)

I kept an eye on the ps5 Twitter account for stock alerts. I got an alert for an Amazon drop between 8-10am. They were in stock for 20 minutes. You have to be quick.

I did many shifts trying to get one at the start, now cba my pc is still rocking 165fps on max on most games

I need xbox for halo launch though!!!!

I was Xbox for years, had a lot of different consoles, but a few years back got back into ps because I wanted to play their exclusives. Simply put Sony ps have better games, more exclusives and still have the same games as Xbox. Xbox has failed on exclusives now I feel for a number of years, Xbox live swayed back in the day, but I prefer a good one player exclusive that I can play well into the stoney night. Nintendo switch is good to. I will no doubt get an Xbox series x when they are eventually stocked up and plentiful, so maybe in 2022…..

Nintendo switch blows both out of the water I’m afraid.

Neither as I can't get latest versions!! 😂

I managed to get both next gen.

anyone still struggling, try the phone app called "hotstock" (red and white icon)

then pay for 1month sub, 2.99 or something and watch whichever console you want. it will spam you with notifications but I got both consoles at RRP in a week!!!

Xbox here. When I get a chance anyway!

Watch Dogs Legion has a very cool London if you dont't mind your future on the dystopic side.

sweet

There's a rastaman in every crowd.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend playing the Mass Effect trilogy. I know it's a bit old now but it still holds up and is pretty deep, especially the first game. And I'd agree with sidetracked and say Outer worlds is probably the best recent Sci FI rpg.

yeh loved those to

Haven’t ever tried Outer worlds but seen a little YouTube video of it. Looks an awesome game. Fallout 4 is quite a good game to loose some hours to, though it isn’t quite sci fi it has element of it through out.

Alien Isolation XD

I'd recommend Prey if you haven't played this one already?

It's a super atmospheric, story rich, open world set aboard a space station. Some really cool stealth and crafting elements in there. Killer sound track to boot!

good one

Bioshock Infinite

Elite dangerous

If you want a deeper story and plenty of hours play I would recommend Assassins Creed (I've just completed Origins which was good fun), and Red Dead 2 (No spoiler but there is a "Virus" story arc which kinda fits in with the times).

If youve got an XBOX id give the Game Pass a go - Theres always offers available for new customers who havent subscribed to it yet.

have played ever one of the assassins creed games am ruining both origins and odyssey atm on my laptop

I really enjoyed Outer Worlds recently. It's a sci-fi action RPG with a really cool world to explore. It can get fairly challenging on the highest difficulty.

Great character development in this one.
