Same boat as you - do enjoy tennis games but more to just pick up and play every now and then so £65 is just insane money for a game like that.

Similar to me - never been one for PC gaming but can see the benefit of it a game like this. I really need to pick this back up and get stuck in. One concern I do have is that I remember I never came across one of the main characters when I was meant to and not sure if I will ever come across them now or that boat has sailed..... only one way to find out!

Congratulations Mark. Met some great people thanks to this place!

I did a lot of going back to "pre battle" saves while I was getting used to it. The one thing that really helped me in battle was focus on the order that people attack you rather than size or location. Reduce the numbers down as soon as possible. I'll have to revisit the game at some point as was enjoying it and starting to make progress but spent an age trying to beat one area and then straight away ended up going into another similar battle and wanted a break. Never made it back to it.

Yeah we've done it as part of training for the main three peaks. We were over 11 hours which included two stops which combined around an hour in total. Yorkshire peaks was harder than the national three peaks in my mind as you just have that long walk between two of the peaks that was just mind numbing. Seeing it in the distance and never getting any closer was horrid.

Has anyone tried the Playstation Portal? I'm tempted by that for when away for the weekend / kids hog the tv

Oh I often feel cheated. When you're going nicely, have some good jokers in hand and then the boss is "play only one hand". Stuffed! I took often rely on increasing the pairs or straights with planet cards.

Count me in thanks

Not used that site for kits before... Do you need to order the size up like with the other sites like that?

Downloaded that tonight.... Lost the last 3 hours! Great game.

Spiderman 2 complete 100%..... I'm now at a loss at what to do with my evenings!! What a cracking game though! Absolute masterpiece and already looking forward to number 3

Spider-Man 2…. Absolute masterpiece. Not many games I’ll platinum but always will with these ones

As it stands (and this may change in May), the play offs are great! Without them there is no Steve Walsh celebration v Derby, no "that could be.... the winner from Claridge..... IT IS!!!" For some teams, it is the closest they will get to a cup final and creates memories that last forever. You never forget the heartache and you never forget the joy! Also without them, the season would already be over for most teams and who wants that? This keeps the league alive till the last day.

Sure... Add me if you want. Tadders86 on PSN

I'm still learning (about three hours in) and enjoying so far.

Helldivers 2.... A lot of fun to be fair! Chaos! If anyone ever wants to team up on that (or any other game to be fair on ps5) then feel free to add me - tadders86

I can't decide what to do..... 1 - Just buy it and play it 2 - Replay FF7 remake first because I've forgotten most of it and then go straight into FF7R 3 - Play the original FF7 first and then dive in. Tempted by 3 as never actually played it all the way through before!

Yeah keep it as simple as possible or it just gets worse each year! Or do ones that take a few days. We put a plant pot with some soil out and some jelly beans saying that the kids needed to plant them. Next day, water them. Day three we had put some candy canes or lollipop in and pretended the magic beans had grown. Kids loved it. Another simple one was take a picture of the elf as a "selfie" and change the wallpaper on any device they use. Other than that ours is sometimes just a game of hide and seek for the kids in the morning

Metal Gear Solid...... much harder than I remembered! I'd also forgotten the good old days when walking over a fallen enemy didn't result in picking up a gun or ammo.

Beedles lake or The Leicestershire normally

Started playing more and more this year and set myself a target of breaking 100 before the year was out. Scored exactly 100 twice (including a complete blow up 8 shots on a par 4 18th to ruin a solid round). Finally broke it back at the start of September when everything seemed to flow nicely and managed to shoot 95. Following that, treated myself to a new driver as just been using a Wilson package set which has done me very well but the driver in particular is very flexible. Went for a fitting and all went well, added about 20 yards to my drive on the simulator and all looked good..... then shot my worst round of the year and lost all confidence. Starting hooking the ball really badly and just couldn't get going on anything. Drives were wild, irons all over the place, no delicate chips around the green and couldn't read a putt to save my life. Few weeks off from it all and then went out with no practice on Friday and shot 99. Stupid sport.

I'm playing the original Metal Gear Solid as a break from Baldur's Gate and to relive my youth! Bloody hell I didn't realise it was that hard.... I was expecting to breeze through it with being more experienced at gaming then my teenage self but really finding it tricky. I think it just shows how modern games spoil us with being able to change view to first person to shoot and also to collect weapons and ammo dropped by enemies etc. Having a fixed camera rather than being able to rotate it using the right joystick is also something you massively take for granted! Intrigued as to how it works with Physco Mantis in this version as remember being blown away that he could read your saved files from a memory card and stuff like that.

Absolute game changer!! It sounds so obvious now that you posted it but I was automatically going for anyone closer to me or the biggest enemy. Taken a much more strategic approach and started to actually win in combat. Successfully beat Dror Ragzlin and his horde of about 10 smaller goblins through actually thinking about things. Took out the drum to stop them calling reinforcements, burned down the wooden platform someone was standing on to take them out the game..... it's so rewarding when you actually negotiate some of these battles having had the approach previously of just trying to attack relentlessly.

100% agree with that. Things are happening on screen and I have no idea what is going on - such as telling me I've failed to spot something. Play it again and still don't spot anything. Third time, my character does. No instruction that essentially it's chance rather than me doing something. I'll look at my party later but still very much in the early stages. (Just saved Halsin from the cage so only a few hours in) Very much picked moves / spells that sounded cool but in reality, are completely useless and seem to be too similar to my other characters. My wife plays D&D every week and so we have a co-operative game going too and she just knows what she is doing. Eg in combat, I had no idea you could throw things down to slow opposition etc. First thing she did was throw a snaring thing in front of the door and it left them as sitting ducks. My approach was run through and try to fire a bolt of fire at anything and anyone What I'm really struggling to get my head round is in combat, I can have gotten behind someone, literally standing next to them, and then miss with a massive sword. Or when I do make contact, do 2 damage. Then the opposition glance at me and half my health vanishes. I'm also yet to revive someone in a battle and then have them still alive by the time their turn comes around again so feels like a complete waste to revive.

Well.... it's not an easy game is it? I get smashed in virtually every combat I enter. Think I might need to go down to easy mode!
