Whatcha playing?

I've heard of it but haven't played. Meant to be a very good space physics sim.

I'm now heavily into MGSV. Picked up "Sniper Bird" and powered through the early missions. You have to be very careful not to get spotted, but it seems a little kinder than Ground Zeroes was.

And got Last of Us Remastered for £14, which seems a massive bargain. Still have the PS3 version and was hoping it'd hit PS+ soon, but at that price I don't mind too much.

Yeah I am enjoying it... I got the download to use on 2 consoles 1 for me 1 for my lad so in essence I only paid £25 each so I am not grumbling, I too am being nostalgic THPS2 and THPS4 are gaming masterpieces IMO.. This one is giving off a decent vibe some of the challenges are great.. And the triangle button slam down is a nice little upgrade. Some great user created tracks already, My lad has made a decent one.

Picked up THPS5 yesterday.

I wasn't going to bother as I had read some pretty dire things about it, but I had some items to trade in so it didn't cost me that much.

Honestly apart from a  couple of control quirks I am loving it!

A few people have said its not worth the price its listed at and I would agree though its more a £20 game the £50

Maybe I am lucky/overruled by nostalgia but It really isn't that bad and I'm having a lot of fun.

Been playing GTA v recently. Completed the story years ago and because I got the game a few months late. Thought it was pointless in trying online.
Playing it and its actually quite fun.

Agreed about THPS2 + 4 if they were released on pan I would snap them up in a heartbeat!

The slam feature certainly makes grinding low stuff easier, the only control change I'm not keen on is R2 to push off as I have found myself holding down  X, jiggling anywhere from standing and wondering why.

Apparently due to the release problems there is going to be some free DLC so I'm hopefully for a few of the retro levels(skate street ventura or San Francisco)

When I get PSN+ up and running we need to get some fretboard sessions going!

I take this back.

As I've got further into the game I've noticed a few bugs and pretty bad framerate drops.

I've been using a psn+ trial the last couple of days and when the game is running connected to the psn it doesn't run half as smooth as THPS2!

Yeah I noticed that when I got to School 3 level.. They'll be an update that is beauty with gaming today. If y'all didn't see the post on other thread PS+ members can get BF4 and Hardline for £19.50 at the minute... A chuffing bargain for on of the best FPS ever(bf4) and Hardline has a few good multiplayer modes such as Hotwire, Heist and Golden Gun

Tempting although I did not like Hardline at all.

I think I'm going to hold of multi-player now until Battlefront drops.

The Drake collection is 3 great games in one disc so should keep me occupied for a while!

Pulled the trigger on PS+!

i have just bought titan quest on steam,and am looking forward to playing it after the great reviews it got (diablo but in a greek mythology setting).    

i also just bought a 2nd hand ps vita,but have yet to play anything on it yet,as you need special sony memory cards (cannot use any other brand).  have a few ps3 games that came with a vita version so am very much looking forward to being able to play it (wipeout 2048/minecraft/little big planet vita/mod racer e.t.c).
