    I bought both Oddworld and Valiant Hearts on release at full price, because they're the sort of games I'd like to see more of -- but I've have barely had time to play either of them since. Guess who feels like a right numpty this week?

    Still tempted by Helldivers anyway. Wish there was a demo (is there?)

    What's this about R2 not working properly in launch DS4's?

    How can that not register in one game only? Bizarre.

    Want to buy, don't want to buy twice. If I can't get my Vita and PS4 in the same lobby, might have to skip it.

    Can't wait to get home to get back on this, it's a bit moreish.

    Actually had loads of fun just playing with random yahoos last night, just hope the community stays active.

    Who fancies a nice cup of liber-tea?!

    It is odd, apparently it happens for some people in GTA V as well but that controller is certainly fine in that with the amount of time I spend rocking a Combat MG I'd notice if it wasn't! Perhaps it polls the controller in a slightly different way, dunno, but to get autofire working for me on my launch DS4 I pretty much had to double tap. Controller I bought in Christmas sales worked as it should.

    I'll blast some air in my old R2 (!) and see if it fixes it.

    I fixed my cross save issue, hadn't installed the bloody patch on my vita - duh.

    Sorted.
    Can I ask what's the process for this? I installed it on Vita, ran it and then quit out, tried to download any saves from the online storage but it doesn't think there's anything there. I know there's PS3 saves there though.

    Anyone up for a game tonight?
    I'll be playing from about 2200 GMT
  • Deleted user 5 March 2015 11:56:26
    How is the game play in this, are the enemies varied as it looks quite repetitive via twitch?

    Looks like a cross between destiny and star ship troopers.

    Ah feck it... Bought!

    The whole Super Earth propaganda stuff plays like Starship Troopers mixed with Republican Space Rangers, your team will be throwing out soundbites of patriotic nonsense as you destroy the enemy.

    At the moment only the bugs and cyborgs are unlocked but they can be very different, cyborgs are more ranged while bugs want to get close.

    Reminds me a bit of Dead Nation.
    Playing softly softly trying not to alert foes, then it all kicks off :D
    It has that global meta game thing going on.

    3hrs to download 3.04gb of data on a 155mbps line. Ha!

    Edit: someone has switched Sony's second server on and it's dropped to 24 minutes. May get a game before work!

    Was alot of fun...not killing your team mates requires a lot of concentration though..I got the distinct feeling the training wheels were very much still on, there's a world of pain out there im sure.

    Can't wait until we're accidentally running people over in an APC.

    I love this game. I'm now an ArrowHead fanboi.

    Makes me want to buy Magickav2. I see you can pre order it on pc for 12 quid or so. Wonder if it will be a similar price on PSN? As per usual it will be slightly more but if it's under 20, I'm all over it.

    *EDIT*

    According to inter web

    "Magicka arrived on PC and PS4 May 26 and the game can be pre-ordered on PC beginning today, with PS4 pre-orders starting “soon” for $14.99"

    Never played Magicka past the PC demo and didn't buy it, after this I'm much more inclined to be getting M2 though.

    They also did the guantlet reboot game that came out a few months ago, which was fun, if a shallow.

    Should hit level 32 in Destiny tonight, once that happens, this game will be purchased and much team killing will commence!

    Magicka 1 & 2 are Paradox (I guess these guys made the first game and published through Paradox, but the sequel doesn't seem to be?).

    I never realised but I lived across the road from the Arrowhead studios.

    I love arming the hell bombs beside bug nests and then running from the blast. This game is great fun co-op.

    Teamed up with some randoms this afternoon and completed my first level 6 mission. Three of us in exosuits shooting the snot out of hundreds of bugs.

    Bought it despite the arse-about-face stick layout. PSN: SpeckledJim, as per EG username.

    Played with a good number of randoms, and it was actually great - teamwork with strangers works really well, my sort of MP where it just works without all the setup and need for voice comms.

    It seems to be designed in such a way that it breeds co-operation. There is no point in being a dick in this game.

    Everyone covers each other and revives when someone is downed.

    I felt a pang of remorse when a fallen random was swarmed by bugs as the shuttle landed. The other two guys had boarded and I just had to jump on and leave him to be eviscerated.
