šŸ•¹ Games I am playing at the moment

This week? The past twelve weeks from my Steam notifications, possibly more. Worth 23 quid?

Absolutlely. Highly recommended.

Have you watched any youtube footge of it? Any questions about it?

Do you ever have a day off?

Lots. Recently spent five glorious days in Glastonbury. I’ve two days in the capital next week, and my weekends off.

PES is a perfect demonstration for work ethic. The only thing it lacks is the money EA lavishes on official and exclusive licences.

It has had the edge on Fifa for the past three years.

So I’ve just played through this. It’s a really interesting little thing.

I’m really fascinated by ā€˜games’ like this. It’s, perhaps, something that many may suggest is not a game.

For me, it shows the power of games, their ability to draw together interaction and narrative. The power of play, and games in education seems hugely untapped, imo. This seems a really great example of how well games can teach stuff qucikly, and in interesting ways.

Worth a look, it’s free, pretty simple and, as I said above, really interesting.

Probably should have posted this elsewhere, as it’s only me and pap that will see it here :lou_facepalm_2:

So I took @matthew-le-god 's RimWorld reccy (an entirely different game from ā€œWorld of Rimmingā€, btw) - and am a bit fascinated with it. I haven’t gotten very far in it yet. I’m spending most of my time re-rolling. I’ve read pretty much all of RimWorld Wiki (an entirely different site from ā€œWorld of Rimming Wikiā€, btw).

I am not sure whether I can give it the full recommendation to the whole site yet. I am probably going to re-roll another RimWorld (entirely different from rolling into a world of rimming, btw).

So I’m interested, six hours on, did anyone actually Google ā€œWorld of Rimmingā€ to see if I was fibbing?

If so, where did you land?

I landed on Rimmer world…

Finally completed XCOM 2 on legend Ironman, had to take a 3 month hiatus due to blood pressure issues as previously got to the final level only for it to keep crashing :lou_angry:

Next problem is my character died halfway through the campaign and I was kind of hoping it would be me that would deal the killer shot right at the end. Oh well, just have to start campaign No. 314 where I’m sure Colonel Gavstar will prevail…

Or you could take a break and wait for War of the Chosen.

@goatboy is not happy with some Just Cause 3 footage I’ve just uploaded.

I don’t know what he’s complaining about. I think it magnificent.

Just bought this, super excited to give it a whirl later.

I had previously wanted Sonic to be put out to pasture, as it was frankly depressing watching the continual stream of shite games ruining the name. But, this one looks really good, and true to the originals.

p.s. Whatever pap :lou_wink:

Shut up, @krg_ .

Hype up a game where the central conceit actually works :lou_sunglasses:

Maybe just git gud? :lou_sunglasses:

Bought Sonic Mania, and got so riveted that I’ve only gone and completed it the same day (despite intending to string it out).

Fuck me - they’ve actually done it.

First truly worthy Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It’s beautiful, plays like a dream and features more imagination than even the originals did. If Sega have any sense at all, they’ll just let Christian Whitehead and associates develop all future games.

Thankfully I still have the emeralds to collect/bonus stages to gold medal, PlayStation trophies and a veritable **ton ** of in-game special features/extra modes. Expect I’ll do playthroughs as Tails and Knuckles too.

Both the 8-year old and 30-year old 'me’s are so freaking happy right now. :laughing:

I didn’t go that deep, but yeah it’s wicked.

Everybody’s Golf on PS4. Ā£30. Money well spent if you’ve been after a decent golf game.

I like the look of this.

Never been quite sure why, but I quite enjoy golf games. Which is odd, as I have zero interest in golf.

Still GTA V online, the game that keeps on giving.
