PS4 – Preorder cancelled

Posted on Written by

Watch_Dogs (Yes I have only just changed the blog logo) has been delayed by Ubifarce so this had me thinking what other game I would get on release with the console. I have no interest in the Battlefield/CODs/Fifas or Need for Speeds of the gaming world so what else was left? Knack? Ok seriously what else was left? Killzone or Assassins Creed 4, a generic shooter or a cow that has been milked too many times?

In the end I decided to cancel my pre-order none of the release day games interested me so I will wait, possibly a year. Until then the current gen (360 & PS3) has more than enough to offer. GTA V & the Monday PMGs will keep me entertained online during my last year of gold subscription & XCom, Mass Effect 2 & 3 & countless PS+ & XBLA games will give me enough single player games to enjoy. When I purchased GTA V I stupidly cancelled my £27.99 pre-order for Batman Arkham Origins & £17.99 pre-order for Deus Ex HR Directors Cut so now I will wait for both of these games to get released & drop in price before purchasing.

The other option was the XB1 but truthfully it is not even in contention thanks to Microsoft’s policies I don't trust them & the amazing value PS+ offers. I will be buying a PS4 just not on release.

GTA V – Don’t be afraid to try new things

Yes the language is atrocious but nothing more so than in an adult movie. After playing the single player tutorial I jumped into the online world to start another tutorial. Once that was completed I finally managed to join the UGVM Rebels.

We started off with some races on motorbikes both on which I got pipped by Hakk & Luffers at the line. Then some car racing which I was dreadful at, a mission to collect some drugs & drop it off at a location which I promptly died instantly but we completed on the second attempt with me being the getaway driver.

We then moved onto a parachute jump which I totally messed up followed by a BMX race in which I just got off the bike & started shooting at Luffers & Hakk. We then drove to another mission & along the way I decided to knick Luffers car whilst he was shopping for ammo, after Luffers got his revenge, Hakk gave me lift in his convertible mini to the meeting point. I promptly then died by the gunmen whilst jumping over a wall, deciding to go for a more stealthier approach with a pistol?! I then climbed to the top of an industrial complex only to fall to my death, Luffers then went & completed the mission on his own.

We finished up the evening with a round of golf, I am not a fan of the GTA games because of the violence, language & sexual content in excessive nature but the online playground is very good fun & one I will be revisiting again & again during my last year of my live subscription.

New Game – XCOM I know the enemy

Started this on the 360 last year but it got sidetracked my other games I was more interested in playing. Since then it was added to PS+ so I sold the 360 version. With nothing to play until the pre-orders start arriving it was time to revisit some of the ignored games.

I played a fair bit on the 360 before leaving the game so I went for an American base & quickly started building up the base with a thermo plant & an alien containment unit. I only have five team members at the moment with two assault, a heavy, sniper & support. Focusing on developing the weapons to get the laser guns & trying to save enough cash to launch some satellites into orbit.
