It's much much better nowadays; it's got a good PvE aspect to it with not only the infected after you, but also packs of wolves. Atmospherics are fantastic, and if you like to immerse yourself, you'll definitely like what they've done.   FPS is much improved too, although the latest patch has made it stutter in towns, it's still many times smoother than it was years back.

Shooting is still a grind, unlike in Arma where you could headshot at a click away with ease, but then that's the idea in making it truly hardcore survival.

Give it another try and let me know what you think.

 

 

thanks for the thought out reply, i'll give it a run when I'm all DOTA'ed out after The International is over.

In my experience yes it is safe, the steam app is not that memory hungry when running according to task manager takes up about 50 mb of memory. the steam folder takes up about 3gb on the  c drive (this does not include any of the main game files as I store them on external drives)

p.s a good easy to use programe for moving the steam game files to and from your c drive to external drives when disk space is getting low  is Steam mover Link or if you have never used steam before you can set it up so it automatically downloads game files to whatever drive

Cracking fun 80's/90's style wrestling game for anyone into that kind of thing.  It's still in Early Access but its great fun, more so than the over complicated recent WWE offerings.  Better yet, it fully supports Steam Workshop where users have created just about every real world wrestler you can think of.

That looks great. Will get it for PS4. Be brilliant if it has official wrestlers from over the years

The new sensible soccer should be out this year. Online multi-player will be available , a brfcs league?

Think I played every platform of the original and non matched the Amiga version of sensible world of soccer ( a proper joystick breaker), so fingers crossed for this one.

Looking a bit like a modern version of kick off,

 

Any more news on this?

Not "new games" as such but received the SNES mini today. A lot of games I haven't played on there like Earthbound and Secret of Mana, and it'll be nice to play a non-CD version of Final Fantasy 6 (I have it for PS1 but the loading times, particularly for battles, are horrible). Am sure it'll be hackable very soon too, so will be adding Turtles in Time, Chrono Trigger, etc...

New fifa game is a downgrade on fifa 17. I think its awful

[K-Hod]

I like it so far, I must admit. 

Penalties seem to be a lot better, granted I’ve not delved THAT deeply into it, only the journey and a brief do at ultimate team, but I like it so far...

I’m with KHod, I prefer it too. Defending seems to have been thought about for once.

I got a SNES mini but not keen at all, classics in their day but games have moved on a lot and most of the games are hard to enjoy these days

Couldn't disagree more! The 8-bit games, sure, but 16-bit stuff still holds up well for me. Final Fantasy 6 is timeless. Super Mario World is still a lot of fun, F-Zero too. Secret of Mana and Earthbound are only a step below FF6 on my list. I guess it depends on what games you enjoy though. If you're not hugely into RPGs or Platformers then I can see why the SNES mini might underwhelm a little. 

As for FIFA... I got 17 for free with my PS4 and it was fine. Not remotely interested in ultimate team and all that nonsense though. I just hope they've improved AI difficulty a little. On FIFA 17 "Legendary" was just tedious. The CPU never scored but half the time I didn't either... I had a ridiculous amount of 0-0's. Might get 18 when the price drops but realistically 17 will do as I don't have that much time for FIFA anyway.

Wow - Sensible Soccer really? I grew up with that on my Amiga 500 - so this is the best news ive heard in a while. Tim Sherwood had a shot like a rocket. Another fave of mine was Wings by Cinemaware.

Only an hour or two in but golf story is a really charming game

I have been playing Stardew Valley on the Switch, brilliant game.  Fantastic to see indies thriving on the Switch.

Getting into fifa now. Starting to enjoy it more

[Biddy]

Saw it in Morrisons today, £50!!! I walked past.  I can wait until this time next year when it will be free on EA Access or down to £5.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Pyre on the PS4 is brilliant. I haven't enjoyed a game as much for years. A cross between a high fantasy RPG and a sports game. The storytelling mechanic is genius and really brings you all over the place

Indies are doing well in the VR market at the moment as well. It's a good time to be an indie developer.

Upped my SNES Classic games from 21 to 115. Should be enough to work through. The latest hacking software allows you to load an additional emulator called retroarch onto the console, so anything that doesn't play on the native Canoe emulator will play through retroarch instead. Adds compatibility for games like Terranigma and Star Ocean.

I cannot defend to save my life on fifa 18. You can literally walk through me. Struggle to even basically control my defenders. Swìtching player seems a night mare too. 

I was pretty good at 17. Am horrendous at this one
