After not getting much in the last few sales surprisingly there are a few bits that i'm interested in getting in this one.

Is Watchdogs 2 worth it for £22? All the stuff about visual downgrades and boring story put me off getting the original Watchdogs game, is this one any better?

Same thing for Mafia 3 or is it still riddled with bugs?

ive tried Mafia III found two minor bugs, but after 2 hours its starting to get very very repeative...

iRacing subs 12 months for £22.39, bargain if you want to find out what all the fuss is about...

Mafia 3 probably the most repetitive game I've ever played, such a disappointment. Nothing like the other Mafia games, it's just identical missions with cutscenes in between, even the shooting/combat mechanics are boring. Maybe worth a fiver if you really have nothing else to play..

Cool. Thanks. I think I'll probably get it and just see how it goes. Worst case scenario I get 10 or 15 hours of fun out of it. Might even make some YouTube videos on it if it is good.

You'll get at least 10-15 hours as you'll want to play at least 2 different factions as they all play differently.

Cheers guys, think I will give it a miss. Bit of a shame as the soundtrack looks rather good.

Thanks for reminding me about Watchdogs 2. I heard that the second one corrected all the problems of the first one

I might give it a go then

Was Resident Evil 7 any good? I loved 1, 2 and 3, but then lost track of them really. Probably would struggle to play them now, but 7 looks different (being FPS) to give it a shot?

Resident Evil 7 is a great game. Closer to the original trilogy than the latter games apart from maybe the last 2 hours of the game which is more of tribute to the later games. Still the later games are great in their own right - it's just fans of the originals were more vocal in their distain for the way the series went - personally I love the later games too.

First half of the game is amazing. Really creepy and tense with great atmosphere, then it just becomes a bit of a generic actiony fps type affair. It almost feels like 2 games sandwiched together. Its definitely worth playing though and while the second half isn't a patch on the first half, its still fun to play through. The steam sale price isnt amazing, i'm sure its been £20 or less on cdkeys.

Sounds like I will enjoy. Might pick it up.

I dont really trust key sites, although most find them just fine I know, just a thing I have. Might pick this up.

Thanks for opinions.

Humble Bundle, Gamesplanet, Indiegala are legit places fyi.

heartburnron · 24 Jun 2017 at 21:13

I've bought quite a few games from CDKeys, including a few pre-order and never had any problems...

Spacedeck · 24 Jun 2017 at 21:38

Anyone played Hollow Knight? Looks really good but there's too much choice and can't decide.

reilly · 24 Jun 2017 at 21:48

Just got project cars (I've got a
Asseto corsa) so hopefully it is a good and Euro truck simulator 2 all with dlc.

Digital X · 24 Jun 2017 at 22:05

You played ETS2 before?

One of my favourite games of recent times.

Basically if you like the look of it get it. As it's everything it looks like + more

(was playing it again last night as it happens!)

Yep uses to play it back in the day when it was 18 wheels of steel. Wasted a lot of time hauling stuff for no reason!

Any games I can play with the gf?

I have just read this thread and a few games were mentioned but are they co-op so I can play on the one PC with Xbox controllers?

Stardrew Valley
Divinity: Original Sin (Classic)
Overcooked
Grim Dawn

Any other suggestions would be great. We've played Trine 2 and we liked that a lot. Also Dungeon Defenders looked good but it isn't couch co-op which is a shame.

Thanks, just played this for the last hour. I was a little weary about the reviews having a good few negatives, until I read them over and realise it's full of people who don't like hardcore games. Pretty unfair reviews just because you find a game too hard to play.

It's punishing and it's a great game. I have played Dark Souls games though, so maybe I'm just used to being defeated for the 100th time
