i quite liked that sleeping dogs was a bit more 'focused'.  it wasn't perfect, but i prob progressed more in that than i do in the likes of GTA, as i find them too open.  when there's too much to do and too much choice, i tend to get caught up in not wanting to miss anything, i then get nowhere and quickly bored.  I know you can choose to ignore all that stuff, i just find that hard to do, or to decide which flashing icons will be a benefit to chase, and which cries for help to ignore.  I always wish these 'open world' games had a linear option where it will just say 'go here, do this' and then when it's all done then you can piss about at your leisure.
also if you liked Batman Arkham Asylum you'll love the combat in shadow of mordor....it's basically the same except you have a sword too so you chop their heads off at the end instead of 'stunning' everyone.

I'm playing metro, as mentioned, I'm also playing buy games even though you have plenty of unfinished games.

Kona, superhot and sheltered picked up.

I blame Muzzy, he's a bad influence on us all.

It really works.

I've just started Persona 5, which is as good as expected.

Was nearing the end of Final Fantasy VII as well before that arrived.

Also still have Deus Ex to play, but haven't really felt like it yet.

And that's it. Completed everything else I own.

Did you meet the real pork bun man.

Thanks guys

Currently having a bit of a 360 revival through the Xbox one at the moment. Darksiders is still excellent and I had completely forgotten about Mark Hamill's work on it. I also picked up The Stick of Truth as it originally passed me by. I am really enjoying it, the game is quite simple and the combat basic but it has kept me smiling!

36% through the story in Sleeping Dogs.  Just got a handgun, which amusingly seems less powerful than fists.  It's fun.  If I keep this up I'll have to move open world games from my most hated column to the favourites.  I like the fact that any mission seems more of less round the corner, plus the combat is fine (slightly sub Max/Mordor/Bats so far, but fine).  I'm already more taken with it than Horizon: Zero Dawn.  Haven't worked out why my character sometimes appears to lose all motor functions in brawls yet though, it feels a bit like I keep depleting a stamina bar that doesn't seem to exist.

It's so much easier to smash pursuing police cars out the game than to outrun them, so I've been using that quite a bit.  Yakuza 0 next, the big one.  SD will either serve as viagra for that or deflate me like an enjoyable wank.

I love love love The Witness. Just astounding game design really. Have fun! Feel free to dredge up the thread if you need some help but there may be some slight spoilers not in tags.



I'm looking forward to giving Yakuza 0 a crack as well moot. I think I'll do it after Horizon which I'm mostly enjoying. Bit silly that it comes up with a characters name before Aloy has met them though. Bugs me for some reason.

Given Sleeping Dogs a rest today (last day of my week off ) in an attempt to finish Ratchet & Clank.  Was initially progressing through it slowly with my daughter watching, but she's decided she hates it now, so it's all systems go.  Might be on the last level now (the death star thing).  I've enjoyed almost everything so far.

You just lost all your forum points. Not for not playing, but for not using the obvious wordplay.

You wouldn't let sleeping dogs lie, would ya?

Metro is fucking amazing. Worts and all. Just went through a few sections that were just top tier stunning.

I want to replay it now. The bit going into the silo with the Rangers was mad good.

Last Light one-ups it I feel though the combat in that is much more skewed towards human opponents.
