Hendo Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 A bit like Sly's Steam one only I'm not going for complete randomness. I'm gonna try to play at least some of my ever growing backlog (and I've only had Plus for one year) and if anyone wants to join me then that would be good. Here is my main list: Assassin's Creed III Played maybe a couple of hours and got bored. Not in a great rush to go back but I didn't even get to the main character so that seems a bit of a shit run. Brothers As short as it is, not played much. Also bought it on PC and not finished. Catherine Not so interested in the puzzle gameplay but am interested in the story. Might play through on the easiest setting. Demon's Souls Want to play this just to see how the series has progressed. DMC Played about 10 minutes of the tutorial. Dragon's Dogma : Dark Arisen See above. Giana Sisters : Twisted Dreams Played a bit of this and enjoyed it. GRID 2 Not so sure this one is for me, I like my driving games a bit more arcadey, less needing the brake. Guacamelee! Played quite a bit of this and really enjoyed it, want to go back. Ico HD Always felt like I missed out on this, I remember a mate showing it me and being a big fan. Jak And Daxter Trilogy Played none. LittleBigPlanet Karting Another short tutorial one. Lone Survivor Bought it on the PC but I don't think it had pad support. Mafia II Played a lot of this. Want to go and finish it but a very empty open world game. Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance Tutorial. Metro : Last Light Barely a few minutes in. Motorstorm RC Not played much, wasn't keen on the controls. NBA 2K14 Not really sure why I bothered downloading this. Need For Speed : Most Wanted Not far in. Payday 2 Currently playing and enjoying. Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 See NBA 2K14. Puppeteer Actually looking forward to this one, nearly bought it a few times when it came out. Remember Me Another tutorial one. Shadow of the Colossus HD Couldn't get on with the poor frame rate of the original, want to give it a fairer shake. Sly Cooper : Thieves in Time Know nothing about this one. Stealth Inc : A Clone In The Dark Payed a bit, not all that keen. Vanquish Started, didn't get far in, found it harder than I expected. XCOM : Enemy Unknown Also have this on PC but which version I play could go either way. There are others I downloaded - some I played and didn't like so deleted soon after like Kingdoms of Amalur and the cartoon one about Vikings, some I finished, some I have on other systems like Borderlands 2. So, anyone care to join me on each game or suggest what's next? I'm pretty sure it'll be Puppeteer next for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yep, I'll join in where applicable. Even the ones that are shit will get a once over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Added some more since you replied, forgot about quite a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I actually have Demon's Souls on disc. Never played it right because 1 I hadn't got a clue what was going on and 2 I had a load to go at on the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Vanquish is bloody briliant, bought it on release and had a great time with it. Brothers is absolutely worth a playthrough, there's a reason people rave about it. DMC and MGS Revengance are fantastic, can't go wrong with them. Even on the very easiest setting, Catherine was too much for me. Got as far as the first boss, got utterly destroyed. Which is a shame, as the story is interesting, and up to that point I was enjoying it. But I'm fucking awful at puzzles, so got no further. Assassin's Creed 3 I quit after two hours. Just can't be arsed with that series anymore. Puppeteer I didn't like at all. Maybe I'm just a miserable bastard, but I soon got bored. Not played Giana or Guacamelee, will have to give those a go.

radiofloyd Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I loved Catherine. I don't remotely consider myself a hardcore gamer but I played through it on Normal and loved every second. The difficulty was just right. Dragon's Dogma is an interesting take on the genre, but I left it after 30 hours and haven't really felt compelled to return. I loved the first Jak and Daxter, it was one of the games I got with my PS2 in 2001. Really nice platformer. Gorgeous visuals at the time. Lone Survivor is probably worth a play, I believe the Director's Cut adds more content. It's interesting but also tedious and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a years psn+ code but am waiting to activate it because i need to upgrade the HHD on the ps3 so i can actually download some stuff. also have the hard drive ready but am too lazy to install it.

Craymen Edge Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Unsurprisingly as I haven't spent as much time gaming this year, I haven't played a lot of the PS+ games I've downloaded. I don't claim everything that comes up (and don't have a Vita) so might not have as long a backlog as some people. Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons Okami HD Need For Speed: Most Wanted Thomas Was Alone All completed. GRID 2 Tried this and quite liked it, bought the PC version and deleted this version. Completed on PC. Uncharted 3 single player I have this on disc, but downloaded for convenience/laziness. I swear I'll get round to it soon. Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time Played a couple of hours of this recently. It's pretty good, though nothing new if you've played one of the other Sly games. Scott Pilgrim vs the World Played a couple of chapters. I'll probably play more if I have some time to kill. Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance Played the opening stage, killed a big robot. Seemed ok, I don't care about the story. The Puppeteer Payday 2 NBA 2K14 Remember Me Hitman Absolution Catherine 'Purchased' (but not downloaded yet) on the basis that I'm interested in at least trying them out. Contrast Giana Sisters The Cave 'Purchased' (but not downloaded), basically because they were there and they don't look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm hoping the copious amount of football means I can get Dragon's Crown done, or at least finally put some time in to Olli Olli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I used that code, and still couldn't do it. The boss kept killing me over and over, so I fucked it in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Someone has to wear the trousers in your relationship, Nag. Craymen, you're missing the boat with PAYDAY 2. It's getting played now. Get the bugger downloaded and join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah the Vita would be a huge World Cup life saver. Just glad I can dodge it utterly this year, without my brother wanting to watch every frigging match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh fair enough, it's annoying when stuff like that happens, I had a similar thing with skies of arcadia, couldn't get past like the 3rd fight.

AndyKurosaki Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Fired up Giana Sisters this morning, it's not very good. One of those you play a few minutes of, then get bored and jack in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Doki Doki Universe has surprised me a lot. It's like a cross between Scribblenauts and a psychological check up. Runs terrible on the Vita, it's crashed numerous times on me. It's worth a look if you're into those sort of games though. It's an ideal lay in bed game as there's nothing too taxing or strenuous going on. I was going to put a thread up about it, but I'm not sure I'll bother unless others get some time into it.

Bigkopman Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 78 hrs into Mass Effect 3. Could take on the Reapers but just happy to do all the side quests at the mo. Currently taking on the Geth for the Quarians. I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite forum on the Citadel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I didn't like Doki at all. No explanation, just thrown in and expected to figure things out for yourself. Maybe some people like that. Personally, it bored me and made me think "oh fuck off". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The stupidest thing about Doki is that you have to know how to play to get to the tutorial. It is bad game design, but overall it's not a bad game because of it. You should start off on the tutorial planet and then go to the home planet before it lets you off the reigns. The rest of the game is a lot better than a lot of people give it credit for, the way it explains your choices after analysis without jargon makes it easy to understand why you chose that and what it reflects in you. It sort of reminds me of that Silent Hill game a bit, except with less fog and more life lessons on what it is to be human. It's like edutainment, I guess.

AndyKurosaki Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 It just struck me as "oh, look how wacky and zany I am. Want to know what to do? Figure it out for yourself!". Just could not be arsed with it. The art style didn't help either. Gash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboticMonk3y Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The janky frame rate and loooooong loading times spoiled this one for me. I can't even really understand why the long load time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
