    Division 2 is a good game. Very good if constantly grinding for better loot is your thing.

    It's let down by a bit of a nothing story. You having a non-speaking character is always a bad start on that front. The game seems to be geared around getting you to level 30 and then specialising your loadout.

    Being able to drop in/out of friends games is great as is co-op play, but you can only really do well if you have everyone around the same level. It will scale your levels up if in a party with a guy way above your level, but your gear remains about the same. So if like me you end up in a lobby as by far the lowest level, you'll do very little damage and get 1 shotted. As an example I use a marksman rifle that's at level 25, like me. In said lobby someone dropped a level 30 one. Mine does 11k damage and theirs did 70k.

    The game is generous with XP though so you can get to 30 quite quickly if you keep an eye on projects and take over control points.

    Someone should get Satisfactory so we can play together. My calming garden has become an industrial mess and I need to restart.

    I saw some previews of that and quite liked it. Wasn't a massive fan of the first Steamworld Dig, loved the second and I really like that they're not just churning out clones but are trying different things each time.

    I had a sudden urge for a tycoon game and I ended up plumping for Mashinky, which is a railroad/business sim. There's a bit of a learning curve how to use signals and figuring out routing but there's something very satisfying in delivering timber to a sawmill and then shipping off to a toolwoks for processing. Only $10 as well so I'm chuffed.

    You may enjoy Open TTD (the now free Transport Tycoon Deluxe) which does much the same kind of thing if you don't mind the rather basic look. Just don't bother with planes as they're basically cheat mode.

    I've been mucking about with that Spider-Man game, recently.

    It all seems quite simple and forgiving, so far, but it's the most I've enjoyed a game since my first run through of GTA 5. I've even swung about collecting all 55 backpacks, which is a first, as I never bother with all that stuff, normally.

    I am making my third attempt at Bioshock. I'm going to persevere with it this time because previous attempts I've basically enjoyed everything but it simply hasn't hooked me and I end up drifting away from it before long.

    I dunno if there is a plot thing coming that explains the protagonist's apparent lack of a self-preservation instinct is frankly incredible.

    Survived plane crash so okay, you've nearly died and you're all shit up about it but you then go into a mysterious mid-ocean obelisk where the first thing you see is a giant, creepy statue of a man bearing an ominous slogan. Without question you hop into a mysterious means of transport and off you go.

    Then you start following the orders of literally the first person who communicates with you without demanding any information about what the place you've found yourself in is, what's going on, etc. and accept the drip-feed of information Atlas sees fit to give you.

    Then, in this underwater ruin full of mad murderous people and wreckage you encounter a giant red syringe lying around and without Atlas even having to go "Right, this is going to help, trust me" you just inject yourself with the thing and crack on.

    I know there IS a twist (at least one, anyway) in Bioshock which I have managed to avoid for the past 12 years which may explain all of the above but bloody hell.

    I think I'm about done with the Division for a little bit. I'll spoiler story/end game stuff in case anyone is bothered.

    Toggle Spoiler


    There's soon to be an update bringing in 8 player PvE raids which promise the best gear. However there's a patch coming with it that will nerf certain stats and talents. The other major change is that the current best loot you can get will no longer be available in standard gameplay. You have to go into the Dark Zone for that.

    The Dark Zone does seem good fun, but loot doesn't drop as normal. Some does, but other stuff in there drops as "contaminated."

    To get that to be permanently yours you have to extract it. You also can't see the stats until then. This is where Dark Zone becomes frustrating. If you have contaminated loot it shows as a big yellow bag on your backpack. You have to attach it to a helicopter drop line, it'll sit there for 15 secs or so, then be off back to mother base. At any point between, other players in there can turn rogue and kill you to take it. Even when it's attached to the line, they can cut it down and put it back on themselves.

    I've probably extracted about 10 times now and every time bar one, I've been alone in the area, but the extra one time me and another player were in a stand off. Just before the chopper got there he turned rogue and tried to off me. I managed to kill him, but a team of 4 then rocked up and obliterated me. Going solo in there is risky business.

    I've enjoyed the grind to here but this raid doesn't have a defined release date. Anywhere from tomorrow to 4 weeks away I've heard mentioned.

    Finished God Hand with cheats. From Chapter 7 onwards, it turns into a boss rush with some mobs that take forever to whittle down. I like it, to a point. I've become more accustomed to the idea that the game is very much it's own thing. Nobody is making a new God Hand or crowdfunding a spiritual successor because the original is such a weird product of it's time. At least PCSX2 can read the disc. Opens up some possibilities with my PS2 backlog.

    Mike's alerted me to the existence of Starters Orders 7 so I'm hoping it becomes my life for the foreseeable future. It's basically FM but with horse racing, aka the perfect game for me.

    One of the modes on this game is real time. Like if you loaded it up today it’d be 6th May and you can’t progress until tomorrow when it’s the 7th.

    That’s something @Yevrah would play.

    I hated Dirt Rally 2 the first time I tried it. The graphics were blurry, the cars drove like crap, the online all the time shit, etc. I got back to it lately, however, and they seem to have fixed it. I am still not sure if it is an improvement over the first one, but they are both extremely good.

    Avalanche's involvement would at one point have been a fairly safe bet for some chaotic fun but Just Cause 4 was a broken mess and Generation Zero just sounds like it was disappointingly shallow (and also slightly wonky in terms of UI and stuff) so who knows.

    Yeah, Generation Zero was barebones. Shooting felt and sounded good but there was so little going on. One of those passion projects where the passion goes into the environment rather than giving you something to do.

    Recorded some Breath of the Wild Kakariko in 4K 60fps. Still the absolute GOAT.

    Finishing my MSc project this weekend and handing it in on Monday. Thinking I might treat myself to that PS4 I've been wanting for ages now that I'll finally have free time to play it.

    Recommend me some games, pals.

    I just checked and it's not coming out for another year and a half.

    It'll probably cost about £500 as well. I could just pay half that now and be able to play PS4 games straight away.

    I am now past the freezer bit in Bioshock, which is the first time I've pushed on this far. Didn't realise until I got to it there just how little I'd got through of it at previous attempts but I think treating it as a combat game (rather than as a Deus Ex-alike, say, with me projecting options onto it that I didn't really have) has helped on that front.

    I'm keen to find out just why the fuck the protagonist is here and getting balls-deep into this Rapture business. I'd also forgotten just how fucking tanky Big Daddies are. My preferred tactic is to lure them into a small mountain of proximity mines then fire wildly at them anti-personnel rounds and electricity.

    I've got a handful of plasmids just now but am still trying to work out, after electricity and fire, which ones are actually my favourites.

    Has anyone tried the Oculus Rift or similar? I just ordered a new PC just with the goal of getting into VR in the near future. Mostly interested in iRacing (and Dirt Rally 2 if it ever becomes possible) but there might be some other stuff worth trying. Or maybe I should just stay away.

    Just get TrackIR. Racing movement in VR feels like dog shit due to lack of physical feedback outside the wheel.

    VR in general is still just a bit too clunky, it takes you too far out of the room.

    Had a TrackIR thing before and didn't find it all that useful.

    One of those lol triple monitor setups is probably the best way to go, but I can't deal with the price and the space they take.

    I finished it last night, one sitting, 6 hours. Its heavily story based but has more interaction than most of these types of games.

    Bar a couple of niggles, I loved it.

    They've been rather clever with it, appeasing both the grognard crew who want to play a historical title and also the newer post-Warhammer players who want the faster more character based approach.
