Yeah but you gotta get 0 in early because Kiwami is hitting later in the year and both need clear air Reg knows what I mean say what

The standard and deluxe editions of Mass Effect Andromeda are discounted 30% and 35% respectively this weekend. Given the starting prices on the PS Store that's still £38.49 / £42.24 for a game that will no doubt plummet in price shortly, but just in case anyone is interested.

I saw he'd made his one idea again. Hooray, etc.

I felt like that after the first game.

I still wouldn't mind playing 2 I guess but no brining desire bed on my meh-ness for 1.

So I can do Space Giraffe in VR?

I'm not even waiting for ME to drop in price anymore. I just don't want to play it.

Just not interested either.

You chose the worst possible moment to abandon ship imo.

I don't know, I still think the first game is the best one. Story was more interesting, villain was more menacing, there were more interesting things to discover. Less characters were irritating arseholes. All when compared with ME2. ME2 had a better combat system. Never finished ME3 as it was awful.

The combat is very moreish in ME: A, (despite the criminal lack of checkpoints) But the script and new 'aliens' are piss poor. I fail to understand how EA could let such a well respected franchise just fizzle out like this.  But tbf, the very dawn of Mass Effect was when the sun began to set on Bioware.  Baldurs Gate shall remain their crowning achievement in CRPG's. Everything else was a downward trajectory from there.

Tital Souls is pretty annoying then.  And not in a good way.

Heh.  Well I'm past the first four, and have headed east, and both the ones there were pretty frustrating (one spikey arms, one druggy shroom).  

Main thing that's annoying me is the clunky rolling (like you can't roll straight away after the previous roll ends, and there's not indicator (or even consistency) about exactly when you can roll again), and the directions / hitboxes are quite hard to read with the isometric view.  So yeah lots of fustrating deaths I feel a bit hard done by, or failures where you can't work out if you're doing the wrong thing or did just miss.  

Oh well, I shall persevere - i guess it kinda has to be clunky or it would be too easy, and the arrow thing kinda works OK I suppose.

This might not be the most recent one:

Bust 314m over the weekend. Was happy to bump my mate off the top spot but still a ways off you lot. Am incredibly inconsistent atm.

I've had enough games go to high scores after a miserable 1st or 2nd ball that I just crack on these days, although as scoring increases maybe that'll change.

Feel like I've got a pretty solid grasp of the table now at least.

Isn't pinball just luck

I just spent an hour trying to play Fifa 17 online with a mate, without success, and I'm done with the franchise now.  I've now had three stuttering online sessions with two mates since September, and one complete wash-out.  Bollocks to it, it's rage uninstall time.       

I rarely play anything online these days, but I'm sure it was more straightforward on the dial-up Dreamcast.  Online friendlies weren't connecting (after numerous invites, texts etc), so I thought I'd check if there was a problem my end by playing against a random online.  Turns out you can't, there's no option to play randoms unless you go in the ultimate team mode, which seems to be some sort of card trading shit rather than select your team and play.  I assumed an exhibition online mode would still be standard in football games.  I had a moan up a few months ago when I discovered the rumble pit/all-on-all mode had been removed from Halo, but this is another example of unnecessarily moving away from dip in/dip out online experiences.  I'm all for the idea of games including deep FUT stuff, or the factions-playing-Risk of For Honor, or 100 v 100 capture the death star missions or whatever people want to play, but I don't see the need for the simpler modes to disappear.  Their lobbies may be comparatively unpopulated, but why jettison them completely?

savage.
