Classsix T Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 What does slightly concern me about pre-owned DJ gear is if it has been used in a club environment. Foam parties, smoke machines and spilt beverages don't sit happily with me as bedfellows to electronic equipment! C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a trip back on Sunday to collect it (and a drum kit for his little brother who is learning to play) and we set it up this morning with his TV and steering wheel, shifter etc certainly an interesting piece of kit and a bargain to boot going on the current RRP That looks great Jim! We had something similar in one of the meeting rooms at work (someone found it in the merchandise centre about to be thrown out so he snaffled it). Made for a great experience driving and always had a queue at lunch times/after work of people trying to beat the current track of the week's lap record on the F1 game of the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a guarantee with them, not sure they ship store to store like CEX do but they can post to you direct by the look of it but it’s £15, as that kne is only in Braintree it’s probably cheaper to jump on the train from Ipswich and collect it!

Classsix T Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yup, so polished off SE5's campaign last weekend. Those familiar with Karl's previous outings won't be surprised at anything on offer here. Honestly, I found SE4 a more enjoyable single player experience. But having popped the skull of the traditional pantomime endgame Nazi baddie, I had a look at the alternative gameplay on offer. It's given me some more entertainment playing 'Axis Invasion'. Which involves a PvP element on top of campaign objectives. Still not done co-op yet, I think Comms co-op play with Invasion on might be a very interesting game. C6T.

Classsix T Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 So the refurbished PlayStation+ subscriptions launched in the UK, and although I wasn't that plussed (arf!) initially, Sony are offering me an upgrade to 'Extra' for less than £16 to the start of December. Within that time I'm expecting the release of Stray, Forspoken and the A Plague Tale sequel. Not to mention I'd like to try Returnal. I'm not expecting day one released games to be available btw, but as a method of trying before buying available games, I'm seriously considering it. I think both my Sisters now know that PSStore funds are a well received gift, so if I can use that to pay for the next tier sub to the one I'd pay for anyway, job's a good 'un I reckon.

A day later the upgrade cost had come down to a penny shy of fifteen quid. So with immediate access to Returnal, AC Valhalla and Death Stranding, it's not a particularly hard bullet to bite. C6T.

Classsix T Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Sniper Elite jank! I've fell through the ground a couple of times playing, this time my guy managed to cling on to the play world by his fingertips. Unfortunately he was unable to climb up, or indeed descend into the underworld. Gaming purgatory if you will. I'm informed Rebellion use their own game engine for their titles btw, but it seems a common thing in many titles that this happens, I managed to swing Nathan into the scenery in the refreshed Uncharted 4 for example.

I think that's what everyone that has enjoyed both RDRs is thinking. However the slapdash manner Rockstar went about the GTA trilogy remasters has me thinking I'll stick some coal in the PS3 and continue the replay of the OG RDR that I started having finished RDR2. GTA IV I feel a little differently about. It kinda felt like an improved San Andreas to look at but better to play. GTA V then blew it away graphically, on the same system! So unless a GTA IV remaster will look as good as five, no dice. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens I've not started any of those three titles, instead with the news there is to be a Mars based sequel, I've been playing Deliver Us The Moon which is part of the PS Extra package. Pleasant sci-fi action puzzle romp, not dissimilar to a game based around the recent Matt Damon and Sandra Bullock space faring movies. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Very short and sweet, I polished off Deliver Us The Moon yesterday. Solid 7/10 title, its crowdfunded budget shows slightly in its frame rate drops (on PS5) whilst saving and the slightly odd (non mo-cap) character movement. Recommended nonetheless however. I've started Trek to Yomi now. 3D fixed camera combat platformer, the cinematic style unashamedly inspired by Akira Kurosawa films. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Exactly the sort of advice I was after, Digital Foundry confirms Steam Deck probably isn't the PC games at home solution I should be looking for, not necessarily because it won't display nice on a big 4K telly though.

Classsix T Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Glad to see Stray is getting positive reviews, Eurogamer's take: https://www.eurogamer.net/stray-review-fantastic-cat-exploration-through-a-dystopian-cybercity It does seem a rather short game, however based on the review it looks like a title I'll meander through rather than rush to get done. I'd love it for instance if afk (controller) inactivity leads to a pleasant dynamic screensaver! In other news, I've had a re-jig of my storage of games. All the last gen Assassin's Creed games and a few other PS+ included PS4 titles have gone onto the Samsung 2Tb SSD which is now plugged into the PS5. Most of the previously paid for library of PS4 games is now installed internally on that console or on the 4Tb HDD plugged into it. I'm not out of storage space, yet, but the additional amount of games the Extra sub' has given me is a test of data housekeeping (not to mention a literal measurable amount of how big my backlog is, Jeez there's still stuff on the PS3 I haven't gotten around to)!

Classsix T Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Forgot to mention, I'd plonked the PS4 Assassin's games on the external drive to the PS5 to accompany the PS5 version of Valhalla. A couple of days later, apparently Ubi have patched Origins and Odyssey to take advantage of the current generation hardware. Which I'll no doubt appreciate when I finally get around to them!
