Is it wrong of a grown adult to buy Minecraft ... ?

Nah Minecraft is great. Mini Langers bloody loves it but I've got my own save file too.

How are you finding your Xbox One mate?

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Its the best piece of machinery I've ever owned. I'm still downloading all my games from my 360 and a year and half of saving up games for gold.. I love the xbox one. Im currently enjoying Murderer - Soul Suspect.

 

[Langers]

Pleased you're enjoying it!

I shall be playing Forza Horizon 3, Lego Dimensions and Lego Star Wars: TFA on Christmas day. My son's presents but obviously someone has to make sure they work okay first.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Ive only just brought Forza Horizon 2.. I better hurry up and complete it. Hahaha

Fucking awesome game. I love it. Racing around the coastline trying to beat the red arrows is a particular highlight.

You get to race a train as well, Quirk. Game porn for you.

I'm going to chuck all the backwards compatible dead space games on and scare myself shitless.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Right I now own Minecraft. Its massive, I need tips..

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Try asking a 10 year old.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Apparently loads of adults are playing it now. I saw a chap build Big Ben on Twitch.. ;-)

I've somehow managed to clock in 50+ hours on Battlefield 1 online. Ouch.

But it just gets better and better the more you play it - some of the action scenes are ridiculous. And that's actual gameplay.

It's getting pretty close to usurping CoD4 as my favourite ever online shooter. There's certainly a lot more depth to it, team work is vital but at the same time, sniping someone who is on the other side of the map whilst they're trying to camp and annoy people is intensely satisfying.

Oh and I destroyed a bomber with a tank last night just before he dropped his load (fnar) over our flag. Mega points.

Love it.

I've still only on level 30 on Skyrim and just gone back in an effort to finish RDR though I'm not even close to doing so. I'm the worst gamer EVA

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Not really. I would happily re-start Skyrim tomorrow just to play in a different style, be a different race, be a part of the Nord Rebellion rather than join the empire.

So many different ways to play the game. My first game I got to about level 60 I think.

 

[Langers]

Nords FTW. Fuck the Empire.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Maybe - but the rebellion story arc plays out pretty cool if you join the empire.

 

[Langers]

I can't remember what happened in mine! I think the jarl was overthrown or something.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yep - a puppet Jarl gets put in his place I think.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

I've introduced my son (8) to it and suggested he play the battlemage archetype but sadly he seems to gravitate to being a sneaky bowman - which is exactly what I've been playing forever :icon_neutral:

I've started to explore a bit more in Fallout 4 now, found a few new places and done a couple of little side quests to get on people's good sides. I think it seems a lot more compact than Skyrim though, not sure if that's the case, a few times I've been checking out a new location I'd found then spotted something a little way down a road that looked interesting and before I know it I've discovered another new location within sight of the last one.

Probably need to start doing something with the settlements part of the game now as I've discovered 3-4 places that I can mess around with and not really done anything so far, would be helpful not to go all the way back home to ditch loot everytime I've been raiding.

Not a fan of the Ghouls either, horrible bastards. I've dealt with most other enemies quite well so far though, looking to copy my sneaky archer from Skyrim as a sneaky sniper, picking things off from distance where I can and saving VATS for when enemies get up close as my aim when hip firing is awful. Definitely need to find a more powerful gun soon though because what I've got now isn't great.
