    Mass Effect Legendary edition (Remastered 1,2 & 3)

    Everyone knows that, but may be a different team but its the same studio and publisher,and while the team given control of Andromeda were not capable of delivering at the end of the day Bioware/EA released it... plus the 'team' that did ME1 (and to an extent ME2) are mostly gone from the...

    Total War: Warhammer 3

    1369 hours into Warhammer:TW 1, 1247 hours and counting into Warhammer:TW 2, while the price increase is a little annoying there is absolutely no chance I'm not buying. They have been nothing short of excellent, well supported and set the bar for how to implement games workshop content into...

    Mass Effect Legendary edition (Remastered 1,2 & 3)

    My interest has increased with the news that they are reworking some of the ME1 features, its one of my favourite of all times but the gameplay has NOT aged well! I'm not expecting miracles (its EA and the Bioware that gave us andromeda after all) but I'd be happy with some quality of life...

    Mass Effect Legendary edition (Remastered 1,2 & 3)

    One if not my favourite game series of all time but the gameplay, especially ME1, has not aged well. Maybe a bit of a stretch to see a combat system a bit more fluid like Andromeda (one of the few things that game did well) implemented into the original trilogy but I'd want more then just...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    They are linked but no you don't need to play the first one before this as it's story happens after the setting of RDR2, in fact i'd say its better if you haven't played the first one.

    Your game of the decade?

    Witcher 3, set a standard to how to do side quests and secondary characters, excellent writing throughout even even now after sinking 100's of hours into it I know when I load it back up for another play through I will discover another excellent little story hidden away somewhere. Mass effect...

    What is the most you have spent on a game?

    WoW, just through the subscription fee's alone!, then base game + expansions would easily put it over £1000, although for me that's money well spent considering how many years I've gotten out of it. Not including MMO's, then Europa Universalis IV, game + some dlc according to steam has cost me...

    Overkill's The Walking Dead

    Telltales Walking dead games would suggest otherwise, in fact they introduced one of the best characters in the setting, Clementine.

    Game of The Year 2017

    For me me its been a fairly poor year for games on PC, more disappointments than anything else. Original Sin 2 a stand out though, Warhammer 2 also very good but not as much of a stand out as the first one was.

    What is the oldest game you still play & install today?

    Play regularly would be Warcraft 3 and if I'm travelling I'll load up Neverwinter Nights on the laptop, both 2002 releases. Oldest game I have on my PC is Dungeons of the Necromancers Domain, 1988 text based game. still a good way to waste an hour or two!

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole

    I enjoyed it, went back and replayed half way through the stick of truth afterwards and the Fractured But Whole is a better game overall. Only aspect that it maybe lost out is that the the story is a bit weaker towards the end. Worth what I paid, £30, but I am a big South Park fan.

    Dayz Standalone - BETA

    First year of the Arma 2 mod was one of my Favourite gaming experiences, think about 15 of us brought this when it was "released" and I've little doubt most would get refunds if possible. For me though considering I once brought a train ticket to Blackpool this is by far not the worst £30 I've...

    When using Voice chat programs do you use "Push to talk" ?

    If you are someone who doesn't use push to talk and doesn't setup their mic properly then you are the kind of evil that can only be dealt with though fire. Personally after 10,000's of hours put into games over the years have never had a situation where I've gone 'If only I hadn't been pushing...

    HL3 - Episode 3 'Leak' by lead writer

    It may be slightly childish of me and even more so difficult given their prominence in the gaming industry but when possible I avoid giving Valve money or using their platform when possible due to the apathy they have shown on this front. But you never know, Gabe is in his mid 50’s now? And not...

    ****MASS EFFECT : ANDROMEDA****

    That's a bit like saying 'at least you only got run over by a Volvo estate rather than a 60 ton main battle tank'.:D But in all seriousness, they have made some decent improvements to animations and voice acting, even if its by simply removing some of the worst offenders. The cut scenes work...

    ****MASS EFFECT : ANDROMEDA****

    ME:A is not a terrible game, it's a slightly below average game that despite giving some enjoyment was quite clearly shipped half arsed by by a developer and publisher that people already have negative feelings towards. I'm actually quite surprised at how little real vitriol it's actually...

    ****MASS EFFECT : ANDROMEDA****

    Maybe so but even if Mass Effect was EA's most popular franchise (it's not) then why would they have given it to Bioware's B (closer to C) team while they allowed their more prominent and experienced studio's to work on Anthem (and it seems Dragon Age)?. Plus a 40 million development budget is...

    ****MASS EFFECT : ANDROMEDA****

    Hope that helps. Like others I'm currently trying to get into a second play through of the game but I just can't, knowing what's around every corner really highlights the poorest aspects of the game. I hope the 'real' Bioware take note because unless Anthem or the next Dragon Age are a...

    Whats your GOTY so far?

    As the only games I've purchased this year are The Walking Dead: A New Frontier and Mass Effect: Andromeda?(technically part of TWD came out in 2017?) I'd have to give my vote to... urgh... The Walking Dead? Simply because it has Garrus's voice actor in it and Clementine is, despite becoming a...

    Total War: Warhammer 2

    Originally the 2nd and 3rd game were meant to be extensive expansions for the first, the original sold so well though that the next two instalments are now stand alone games that will also integrate into a single map as well as having their own campaigns. So to your question, both.
