The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

That's pretty much me too. Spent ages getting all the map filled first too.

Yeah, something akin to Rust is what my mate has said (he's not itk, just read it somewhere from someone who claims to be a little itk).

I have played the ever loving crap out of dust so I would probably give that a shot. a lot of the things that annoyed me with rust probably won't be relevant in a bethesda release.

having said that those games always get me a bit impatient, it's just SO MUCH WORK and buildup for not a lot of payoff.

FIFA 18 WC update is fun. I played as England and beat Tunisia 4-1 and Panama 3-0

Downloaded the World Cup update on FIFA 18.

It looks nice enough, but it feels really half arsed in places. England start with Joe Hart in goal and Jake fucking Livermore on the bench. You'd have thought they'd at least have sorted the squads out! Maybe there'll be a further update as the tournament approaches?

Some of the commentary is incredibly lazy too. During the build up to the England v Panama match, Martin Tyler informed me that it's a bitter rivalry with many famous battles over the years. Despite this being the very first time we've played them?

Ah well, it's good that it's free I suppose. And Jordan Henderson was totally anonymous in my lacklustre opening 1-0 win over Tunisia so I suppose it's not wholly unrealistic.

I agree with you, it’s a very lazy attempt by EA and definately lacks from no qualifing mode. Commentary is crap and boring and half the players are lacking official faces

Dortmund have pulled their PES licensing deal two years early.

Had some fantastic sessions on Sea of Thieves over the weekend. Found The Meg, but it defeated us. Will have to try again as time is running out! Did some forts, amassed a load more gold, it's been ace.

Also, we did some treasure hunting, started to load up our ship with supplies and one of us found some explosive barrels so brought them aboard. There were only 3 of us at one point, then a random joined our crew and stood on the bow of the ship with me - and this happened.

:icon_lol:

What an absolute bastard!

Final nail in the coffin for Pes?

Final nail in the coffin for Pes?

Doubt it, can't be many people buying PES just because it had CL stuff, it's been around for years with a massive branding deficit so I imagine it'll carry on just as it has.

 

[James]

Fifa 19 will have Molineux so that’s the final nail in the coffin for PES

I would recommend ARK but not sure if you can do split screen.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

cheers, going to give them a look over. I always wanted to try ARK on the PC ever since I saw it on Steam a couple of years back
