Criminally, I've only played a couple of local games with mates. Nothing more.

Think my EA games were FIFA 14, Battlefield 4 (which I really should have played more online), Star Wars Battlefront (which I got for £15) and FIFA 17 (on offer shortly after release). Pretty much one game per year on average since the PS4 were released, with Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14 being launch titles.

Buy Football Manager.

Remembering seeing that before, ironically after the last one they closed down (can't remember who that was, Criterion spring to mind if they aren't still going). It's a meme that will always remain relevant.

I see EA are being EA and have closed down yet another studio, this one being Visceral Games, the studio behind the Dead Space duo (and the EA'd third one). https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-17-ea-has-shut-down-visceral-games They'll also 'pivot' the Star Wars game that was being developed as well. So that's shoe horned multiplayer, microtransactions, season passes and loot boxes. Fuck off EA.

Finished Crash 2 in its entirety, leaving Crash 3 as the only remaining one of the trilogy to complete. However, I'm going to leave it for the time being as I've just got South Park: The Fractured But Whole so will be playing that instead.

Nah. The sky's cleared and it's just windy now. Nothing major. Fair enough on Snowdonia. Only been there once or twice when I was a kid and was very nice. This was about 20 years ago mind.

Same here. Looked weird as fuck but is sunny here now. Forgot to ask earlier, any particular reason for visiting Snowdonia or was it just sightseeing?

@Dr. Gonzo mentioned it briefly above and I think @Cannabis has mentioned it as well. I've seen the odd YouTube clip and it does look pretty good overall. The presentation on the game looks superb.

Just as well you aren't playing Ultimate Soccer Manager.

Tried it myself for a few games and struggled to find the appeal really.

My mate got this with his PS4 and has already been laughing about how bad Ultimate Team is.

I may still go back to it at some point to finish off the smaller things.

Doing mix of trying to get the last relic on Crash 1's DLC while playing through Crash 2. Hoping to finish both by mid October as South Park: Fractured But Hole is out then.

I'm sure you are.

Just as well as your ultra defensive tactics were annoying as shit.

Hardly touched FIFA 17 (if at all), so will likely pass on this (especially at £50. Fuck you EA).

Cheeky cunt.

Still on the Crash Bandicoot trilogy atm. I'm almost done fully with the first game now (done the relic run in the main game and only the relic in the DLC level remains) so hoping to move onto the second game shortly.

Shit, I forgot about this. Time to catch up methinks. As for one of the bullet points, I thought THQ went under.

As mentioned before, I haven't played it but it does look like a good tactical shooter from the YouTube videos I've seen, which I prefer. Shame this is currently PC and Xbox One exclusive for now. Would have considered this on PS4.

You should be banned immediately just for that. Sim City 2013 is a typical example of a game/series being 'EA'd' (ie. turned to utter shite). As for the genre itself, I like them but haven't really played one in a while. Was tempted to buy the classic Rollercoaster Tycoon games on the Android store but it's on my wishlist for the time being.

Not much unfortunately. Other than the odd bit of Football Manager, I don't play on PC really (well, Mac for me which says a lot, and that's 8 years old). I could probably pick up the odd simple game on Steam if they run on Mac but not much else.

It looks so simple yet also looks very good from a tactical perspective. Unfortunately, with Microsoft getting exclusive rights for Xbox One, it would be a while (if at all) before it comes to PS4.

Surprised by this as I thought the game wasn't a big seller (in saying that, Rayman Legends was re-released on PS4 and Xbox One and that sold poorly).
