I’m still playing classic wow, on the USA servers tho coz back in the day the USA WoW launched months before the euro version did.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend playing the Mass Effect trilogy. I know it's a bit old now but it still holds up and is pretty deep, especially the first game. And I'd agree with sidetracked and say Outer worlds is probably the best recent Sci FI rpg.

yeh loved those to

Haven’t ever tried Outer worlds but seen a little YouTube video of it. Looks an awesome game. Fallout 4 is quite a good game to loose some hours to, though it isn’t quite sci fi it has element of it through out.

Alien Isolation XD

I'd recommend Prey if you haven't played this one already?

It's a super atmospheric, story rich, open world set aboard a space station. Some really cool stealth and crafting elements in there. Killer sound track to boot!

good one

I really enjoyed Outer Worlds recently. It's a sci-fi action RPG with a really cool world to explore. It can get fairly challenging on the highest difficulty.

Great character development in this one.

Bioshock Infinite

Elite dangerous

If you want a deeper story and plenty of hours play I would recommend Assassins Creed (I've just completed Origins which was good fun), and Red Dead 2 (No spoiler but there is a "Virus" story arc which kinda fits in with the times).

If youve got an XBOX id give the Game Pass a go - Theres always offers available for new customers who havent subscribed to it yet.

have played ever one of the assassins creed games am ruining both origins and odyssey atm on my laptop

I'd recommend journey to the savage planet, its light and funny but also an rpg/explorer, with mysteries and strange creatures about the place. It reminds of portal alot even though its not very similar, think i get the same kind of enjoyment from it.

Call of Cthulhu is a fun, dark game. It’s linear so you won’t log a million hours into it. Just twisted goodness!

The Fallout franchise is hard to beat. Fallout 3, fallout New Vegas, fallout 4 , fallout 76. Bethesda creates the richest and most immersive worlds imo.

Currently playing new vegas at the moment played them for years only one I wasn't a fan off was 76 the story behind is really interesting

If you are into JRPGs, please give Xenosaga 1-3 a try. The Gameplay gets better over time , the music and story are really something else. Still one if my favourite PlayStation 2 Series. I had a crush on KOS-MOS fir the longest time. After i finished the series i was in bitter-sweet gaming heaven.

Outer Worlds springs to mind - intelligent writing and great Sci fi world.

You want a deep sci fi game with action? If you have a PS4 and haven't already played Horizon Zero dawn, then just play that. Definitely one of the best of this gen.

outer world was a let down it just did not grab me at all and i love games like that (am still playing skyrim and fallout 4 atm)

if it's a deep story you want I'd recommend Life is Strange 1 & 2. Some might say it's boring but it's great if you're stoned cause your brain can't process to much shit going on but u can control the outcomes by making decisions. Another one would be steins;gate with is time travel done right but this would come under visual novel category.

If you have want to make your own Story I can recommend Starsector or Rinworld. Both are really great „Sandbox“ Games.

thanks to all my biggaz on this you are really good recommenders, ive tries almost everything and its hard to narrow down :)

If you play borderlands 3 on PS4 let me know if you need weapons, artefacts or class mods let me know. I’ve played all four characters the full story and all dlc so far so let me know when you get to level 60 and I will send you stuff if needed.

I don't know if it's your kind of game, but Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is great!

Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Mass Effect Andromeda, Stellaris, Endless Space 1&2, Star Wars The Old Republic (MMO), Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 1&2, Star Wars Rebellion, Surviving Mars, every Fallout (including the old, old ones), Dawn of War 2&3, Warhammer Gladius, Warhammer Deathwing, all the Half Life's and all the XCOM series! Phew, hope this helps 👍

STALKER, it's excellent

If you're into sci-fi worlds I cannot recommend 'Outer Wilds' highly enough. One of the most creative, exciting and engaging games I've ever played. Just you, a space-ship and a mini universe to unravel.

Not to be confused with 'Outer Worlds'. Which is a fine game in itself, just a bit generic.

Civ 6, its even on Switch. Apart from that, I second Outer World's, Fallout, Elder Scrolls etc. If your a fan of old skool jrpgs like early Final Fantasy then I highly recommend the latest Dragon Quest.

I'm currently with no pc... But can't wait to revive my ps1 and ps2 memories on the renovated Mafia.

haha u want a deep game try eve online

or go really old school and try wotmud.org

Borderlands 3. You will thank me later.

Cyberpunk 2077... Weeks away!

I didn't even last 5 minutes lol

No Man's Sky is actually pretty fun despite the failed launch. No cities but infinite planets to explore and creatures to look at. Great to play while blazed.

Elite dangerous is also not to bad. Starfield next yeah looks amazing so keep your eye out for that

I wish Elite had some sidekicks to chose from. It gets lonely out there.

second this

Chorus is a good one

Starfield soon!!!!

They’ve been saying that for getting on for 10 years now 🤣

It had bad reviews and issues when it first released. But Night City in Cyberpunk is a beautiful Sci-Fi city with lots of things to explore

word

Have you played Mass Effect? An excellent series of games with that futuristic sci-fi vibe

I cam here to say this. Specifically, the first one - in terms world building and lore, it is an A-class game.

Watch Dogs Legion has a very cool London if you dont't mind your future on the dystopic side.

Mass Effect Legendary edition is possibly one of the best Sci Fi expanses in gaming history. Also one of the few games that can actually pull at your heart strings and gives choices that you feel the outcome depending on which way you went.

2nd best Sci Fi game by far on Xbox is Stellaris, steep learning curve but an insanely satisfying game.
On pc I've put over a thousand hours into Stellaris, customisation of your 'Race' has hundreds of possibilities.
Along with hundreds of Random events in each play through, making each go unique.

Finally give Xcom 2 and it's DLCs a go, awesome gameplay, very futuristic.
You can customise your Soldiers to look like anyone, friend of mine made himself then the rest of the squad the A-Team 😂

grand mountain adventure

Any particular genre you’re after mate?

Helps narrow it down a bit 🤜

Also, if you’ve got game pass you can DL the app to stream Xbox games. Many of which get touch control support (how good that is varies on the dev and game type tbh)

any games you'd recommend for touch control?

Always depends what you like mate?

We talking touch phone games, or touch enabled Xbox game pass? That works pretty well on many games tbh

Play forza on a phone.

You got the vamp survivors which is easy to control while smoking 😂

Plants vs Zombies 2 is fun…imo 🙂

Classic!

Vampire hunters is legit if you like rapid pace

the social games are good - if you are a 5 year old scoiopath

too right as a 7 year old sociopath i feel really left out

I can recommend Miracle Pool, by far the best pool game for physics etc, for the price you really cant argue, let me know what you think.

awesome thanks for the tip my bigga

eleven table tennis is 1 for the pantheon

I’m down for this all day every day I’m not sure about the name tag thing but surly isn’t a problem

I DONT RECOMMEND VENDORS TO SHARE ANY INFO..

If you want biggas to play with you I think safest bet is to just name your psn username and let people can add you anonymously

Nice, keen to message you but really don’t fancy getting banned. Suppose it is technically taking things off site isn’t it. I’m not too clued up on the threads and the borgs here, I wonder where I could check, any ideas?

You can ask cleanup borg here;

https://littlebiggy.com/link/cHMSF1

A straight-forward answer is never guaranteed tho 😂

Asked Happy Borg and they said we’re good, cheers bro

Hmm I think I would share a gamer tag if:
aint linked to an id or credit card
device paid w cash
vpn

This is brilliant….will it ever be resolved?🤓

what is resolution? 🙃

Will a million boxes ever be checked or will the checkers and the uncheckers battle it out forever? 🤓

you've rorschached yourself my friend.

I cant stop playing Dead Cells! I must have pumped over 50 hours into that game!

I literally just clicked this topic to type in dead cells. Good to see someone beat me to it! I got to meet one of the developers and play the game before release at EGX a few years ago and kept it on my radar. If you like similar side scrollers I recommend Axiom Verge, The Messenger, and Carion. They’re not rougue like games but each unique and fun in their own way.

Awesome! I tried it on a whim back in January on Xbox Gamepass and just cant stop playing it! Ive heard of a couple of those other games but not played them, i will make sure i check them out! Thanks for the tip!

Disco Elysium

Gotta be Stardew Valley, put toooooo many hours into that game... Superhot is another banger

Faster than light. Absolute masterpiece

Spent so many hours on this game!

Has to be Binding Of Issac or Rimworld. Also Brotato is amazing fun.

I really like Hades.

Celest, hotline miami, alto, Arid (made by university students but i put it there, is from Breda and is totally free on pc)

I've been really into Streets of Rogue as of recent. Vampire Survivors, Overgrowth and Risk of Rain are some of my all time faves in the genre

Mind scanners and beat cop are 2 I have played recently and really enjoyed.

this trailer 🔥

Great game, I played it on the Xbox.

Loved playing this game!

Brilliant game played it on the dreamcast back In the day.i remember the coustom tags and stuff was absolutely class

Trash. £70 not at all well spent.

Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but performance is terribly distracting, the bugs are out of control and all in glorious 12 frames per second.

Combat is the best thing in the game but you'll spend all your time getting lost, back tracking and awkwardly running across walls picking up useless cosmetics and talking to random assholes in the middle of nowhere.

I'm on Xbox Series X but PC is worse I think. The PS5 version is the "best" but that's not saying much.

I'd wait for more patches AND a price drop.

just for cal-ibration what did you think of fallen order?

haha not what i wanted to hear but i much prefer the truth. Will wait for a price drop and patches like you said, thank you very much. Real shame was looking for a new game to sink my teeth into as I've exhausted Elden Ring and Hogwarts now

I reckon you maybe surprised at Jedi I would still get it if I were you. It’s jaw dropping at some points and there isn’t really much in the way of triple A alternatives. Performance is about on par with everything else and has improved with patches.
Technically and graphically impressive with very detailed sense environments. Next gen albeit at upscaled 4k from 720-1080p

Yep I'm literally the same mate hadn't brought a game since probably FIFA 14 but recently brought Hogwarts. Mainly brought it for the mrs but gta say I'm enjoying it more than she is!

Yeah that's even better when you really get into something you weren't expecting to :) I've got Hogwarts on my list for when there's a good offer on, the ones that hook you in really do work out great value compared to price of most things these days!

Well one night later and I've bought FF16 lol :) £65 lot of dosh but after playing the demo (which has the full game prologue btw biggas, well worth a try) I couldn't resist :P

Fifa 23 sadly. Because I'm absolute mug when it comes to this game :)

Bit wiser now the last few gens with regard to new releases and am more than happy to wait for the price to come down and get the actual full bug free game as intended a few months after release.

GTA 6 though would be an exception when that comes out :)

GTA 6 is apparently running on rockstars RAGE 9 Engine, which is said to be better than UNREAL Engine 5 so we should all be in for a treat, I just hope that after a year or 2 of playing it still remains fresh and exciting

There's genuine competition to the Unreal Engine now? I should start reading my copies of Edge more thoroughly!

Yeah they (critics/reviewers) are saying RAGE Engine 9 (Rockstars Advanced Game Engine) is the best by far, even better than UNREAL Engine 5 and that’s borderline beautiful already. So this game might be the best thing for 5-10 years, but then again rockstar may just go crazy with the games after the release of gta 6 and accidentally make a rival to it

It's fascinating to me that they've made their own engine. I wonder what it can specifically do that Unreal can't, considering the development time of this. You usually want something very well tailored, or very high end, if you're prepared to sink the development time and cost into it. It would make sense to package that up as a saleable product afterwards to recoup costs. Not sure if you're into hi-fi at all, but Chord do that with their DACs where the circuitry is FPGA and all done in house. Like the way Analogue make their consoles so it's all hardware and not software, so hopefully higher quality.

I was debating pulling the trigger on Diablo IV, and a friend told me he got it too, so I got it and we're having a great time playing together.
Also got the new Zelda game, thinking it was gonna make me pick up the switch again. Nope. Runs like hot garbage. I'm sure it's a great game, but I just can't bear the performance personally. Honestly I think I'll sell the console and the game while it's still worth something.
Other than these two, my last day 1 purchases were RE Village and Cyberpunk, both of which I loved.

Those sound suspiciously like the Stadia purchases I made to get the 'free' controller. Completely unrelated, if anyone's looking for a Stadia controller...?

Zelda has never interested me I don't know why, it's got really popular now but I'm not sure what else Nintendo even has to offer atm?

Bought Forza Horizon 5 and GTA trilogy definitive edition around same time both on release. Usually get Fifa on release day but goy 23 on CD keys about a fortnight after release. Pre ordered the new Forza recently. It cost £90. Right now playing PES 17 which cost £2.50 on ebay and it probably the best football game I've ever played .Used to love PES when younger, so many memories playing my mates stoned on PES 6

I bought Elden Ring on release.... That ruined my playstaion experience, I quit after a few weeks of little to no progress. Haven't touched my PS5 in well over a year now.

oooft mate you will have to dust off that controller one day see if you can get a trial/deal on PS Plus there's some really good titles on there one of them will pull you back in :) thats always the gamble buying full price, I remember being tempted by Elden Ring but I was worried it'd leave me fed up so I didn't dare risk it

I don't mind saying, that game was too damn hard. I hadn't played any previous titles either, so didn't really know what i was buying. It just looked impressive and I pulled the trigger. I'll probably hold out for Starfield now.

Only one I went out of my way to buy on release was probably Red dead Redemption 2 And God of War Ragnarok

RDR2 for me as well, I could wax lyrical about that game ❤️

I thought exactly that about the difficulty level. When I had 0 responsibility I had the time to hone that skill level and to have fun with the grind, but not now. Anyone watch Cohh Carnage? If he and others of his calibre finds a game hard then I'll have no chance. Saved so much money though by facing that fact and getting baked and watching high quality streamers play the games for me. £50 for a game, or £55 for a live resin cart and watching the story in a haze?

I bought Street Fighter 6 on the day of release and Amazon delivered it next day. Something weird was happening that day as the price was in free fall, and it kept selling out, being back in, 10 left, more on the way, etc. It was under £45 when I ordered, which is ridiculous for a brand new release. Managed to nab a Victrix Pro FS at RRP too, but have to wait 4-6 weeks to get it.

The prices are definitely worth it. They charged £45 for a game in the early '90s, and you're getting significantly more for your money now. If you think of it as entertainment for a couple of weekends and you drink at home and have friends over instead of going out then it's a lot more cost effective than going out on the piss for those weekends, and the game will probably have a much longer lifespan than that anyway.

Barely buy nowadays, rarely day 1 due to bugs, kid time and cost.

Most are in bargain bin a month later 😂

Also game pass is such great value I’ve got more than I have time to play.

They do manage to obliterate most of the bugs with the 20Gb Day One Patch these days though, to be fair. If you think about it though that destroys these games for long term value, resale and playability as once the servers are switched off you just get the effectively unfinished game on the disc. Not like when there was no way to update so games had to ship completely optimised.

To be honest mate I rarely play games, despite often buying them, and the number of sealed games I have on my shelf has been a running joke between friends for years, some going back to PS3. I had to buy SF6 though as I've been into the franchise almost obsessively since SF2 in the arcade. Have a PS3 Mad Catz SF4 Tournament Edition Fightstick and that is a lovely thing, with all Sanwa Denshi buttons and stick. How could I not get the modern equivalent too?

Like you though I think generally I have enough with what I have as a backlog and the PS Plus stuff too has stuff on it released in the last year. I don't mind generally being that far behind if it results in me spending less (says the man who bought the aluminium fightstick that normal people would consider insane).

It was worse when games like battlefield make you download the hd texture pack 😂

Lol to true Rux.

I had ps5 for a year and still not played it 😂

Loads still in wrapping.

So I bought myself a steam deck 🤷‍♂️

Tbh that gets a load of play as easy to pick up and pause around kiddo and has Xbox live.

Just need to quit my dota addiction (again)

I have this awful sense of missing out that makes me buy things, whether it was the PS5 that a mate managed to get for me, or whatever on here. I was eyeing up the Steam Deck. Always loved handhelds and that's ideal as most of the target audience will have a library of games anyway. The PS Vita was a lovely, yet unloved, thing, and I saved a huge amount of monthly games for years into my PS Plus account before I bought one.
