Absolutely loved both, Dragon Age pips it for me but then I'm a fanboy of that series. One piece of advice for this game is don't do the big 'if you continue from here the world changes' mission that involves Kaer Morhen before making sure to do all of the quests that are just below your level should you still want to gain XP from them. I'm not going to spoil what that mission is if you haven't come to it yet but you do go up a few levels during it, it made around 20 quests for me almost useless because of the XP drop on quests over three levels below you. I'm about to plunge for the first DLC. Sadly though, no new Gwent cards. The Witcher 3 became 'Gwent - The Video Game' for me until I'd collected all of the top tier cards.

SantosHalper Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Anyone here ventured into VR yet? The Oculus Rift was released in the last few days, and all the reviews I've read have been very positive. The Vive is coming next week. I can't afford it, and even if I could my PC couldn't begin to handle it. The specs are really high-end. I might have to wait a few years before I get in on this, but it sounds exciting so far. Anyone taken the plunge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nah, I don't really have the space for it at the moment. You need to be in a much clearer space than you had to with say the Wii. I will eventually, no doubt, but I have to do some rearranging of the house anyway so I'll probably wait until after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Had a mixed weekend on Rocket League, lengthy losing streak got me demoted 2 divisions and a rank. Followed that up with an equally lengthy winning streak that got me promoted 2 divisions and a rank, may as well have not played a single game.

Animal is a Ram Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Finally bought an X1, then it needed a 3.2GB download to update. Mighty impressed by The Division. Shame it took about an hour to install, and then needed a 3GB download.. good job internet usage isn't capped these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fearful of this happening with games, people I play it with aren't around all that often - it fades from the 'play order' as it were - never play it again. Happens with pretty much every AAA game we play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broderick Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Not bad :). I'm at rising star on dubbles and the one above that on standard. Do you know when pc and ps4 players will be able to party up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when pc and ps4 players will be able to party up? Sometime in the summer I think. I don't think my playstyle translates into solo standard very well, and I don't have friends (that are any good, anyway) to play the group standard with. I'm a bit more defensively minded workhorse type, I can do fancy aerials etc. but it's usually my two teammates going for them. So frustrating to watch people fly up for an easy goal and completely fluffing it. "Trust your teammates" they said, "Thats how you win" they said. Think I need to change how I play in solo standard to take more control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Good ol' Rocket League. Brilliant game. At the end of the day though the key to success is trusting your teammates, and building their confidence in themselves and in you in match. Not always easy, particularly when they're awful. I'm very defencively minded though, so it's not a major issue generally, make up for the mistakes, make the chances with solid clearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble I have is that playing solo standard (and generally changing both teammates every game) I find it really hard to read their playstyle. So until I do so, I play really passively. Had too many games where a teammates gone for something I wasn't expecting them to, more than once, and then been more focused on being bitchy about it than playing. Had a 4 games in a row over the weekend in solo standard with the same teammates and it was lovely. Won 2-1, 4-1, 6-2, 8-0 Then the game split us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally when I'm unsure I just try to defend and use that to put the opposition on the backfoot, though that can go very wrong with another play who typesets themselves as a keeper. You can try and build a team with people you play well with on steam (if you're on PC) and move to standard. To be honest, I'd be happy to play some games, but let's be honest here, Australian internet is awful even with Australians. I wouldn't inflict Australian internet on our glorious colonial overlords.

Srg Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Managed to win 10 in a row ranked to get the achievement playing solo queues. Tend to find play defensively until you figure them out, otherwise you could end up with conceded a few open goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to find play defensively until you figure them out, otherwise you could end up with conceded a few open goals. It's not so much open goals, as rotation is pretty on point in my games generally. It's more people waiting until the last second to do stuff, while im driving from a distance away. I have to make the decision to go for it early and if they do something late we collide. Ergo, I play quite passively early on and that lost time can be detrimental. 2 minutes ago, Albert said: It's an issue, and one of those aspects of solo standard that is hard to deal with.

I have one who's pretty good but he's been in the process of moving for a few weeks I did get invited to be a sub on a team of Norweigens, their star player is the very top rank. But means I don't get to play ranked with them often, only filling in for tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Been playing a game about to go into Closed Beta called Atlas Reactor - https://www.atlasreactorgame.com/en/ - turn based multiplayer arena. Sort of a mix between a MOBA (in character design) and XCOM (in game style). It's excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
