Dead Space 2
Bulletstorm
Red Dead Redemption...........One of the best open ended games ever made and you should know coming from Rockstar and whats out next tuesday.
Limbo.
Uncharted 3
Infamous 2
Ico Classics
Dead Nation.

You sound truly addicted to buying games like myself and i would actually say you could be worse than me,im actually going to say i more than likely finish more and thats saying something .

One things for sure mate your a man after my own heart and a true Supportive Gamer unlike Swanny who does it in his spare time....Sort of a part timer if you catch my drift

But when i look closely at the games i recommend you play i doubt you ever will being that GTA5 arrives in a matter of hours and the Playstation 4 ships in 2 months.

I don't recall if you have pre/ordered a Playstation 4 and who have you chosen to do that with and what games and bits and bobs are you getting with it.

Im also going to add you to my Playstation friends list so I'm guessing your name is the same as on here.

Uncharted 3
Dump the rest

Don't be so Stupid there are some great games in that list and that response says a lot about you and your goldfish brain mentality .

Throw games like Limbo and Greats Like Read Dead Redemption in the bin is utter madness and shows that apart from your beloved Battlefields games your Gaming brain is limited .

There are a few that don't appeal to me like borderlands but there are many games there that i have played and enjoyed and there are even a few that i have kept and not traded.

Suppose you will be on here Tuesday Giving GTA5 a good pasting even though you wont buy it.

Problem i have with you and your comments is all the games trance listed you more than likely have never played them so not in a position to comment.

I would like to take all that praise but to be honest those games are from PS+. I have downloaded many of them already but the ones I haven't I started downloading and then cancelled which allows you to download them at a later date after they have left PS+. I have done this with the Vita games also in case I get one in the future

Generally any games I bought I have played.

I have not pre ordered a PS4 yet decided to wait until its released, see if I have the spare moneys

Don't wait matey go take the plunge,it wouldn't be fun for you if the consoles were in short supply and you got me on here raving about games like Killzone Shadowfall and you can not get hold of a Playstation 4 for love or money.

Swanny will be on here come November 29th telling us all how we should have just sticked with a Playstation 3 and Battlefields 4............Joker

Hmm, we will see about the PS4.

By the way my PSN ID is not my name here it is absolut_blue after my vodka of choice

Swanny if you check your BF3 stats you probably have my tags lol

Don't be daft mate he isn't that good

Haha you're a funny old chap I knew you'd get pissy about that

I have played

Bioshock 2
Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted 3
Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light
Assassins Creed 3

I like the look of GTAV but doubt I'll rush out and buy it, but then I don't care about game developers and their poor families

I found you http://bf3stats.com/stats_ps3/absolut_blue
Good stats, your accuracy is great for a console player 20.73%

Mine has dropped to 9.92%. The other night I couldn't hit a [censored] thing, took me a couple of maps to get back into it. I think a 3 month break was partly to blame for that
Here's mine http://bf3stats.com/stats_ps3/swannymx

Hopefully I have you tags somewhere in my bag.
One day I plan on getting Timeys and will take a picture to share with everyone here


PS nice choice of vodka

Beware the sneaky Swanny taking yours

Well you won't be getting mine until you upgrade to a playstation 4 and in your case that will be around the year 2015 when the console has been reduced by £10 or something and you decide to live in the real world and follow the leader.

And I would love it if it was myself that posted your tags and not the reverse

I don't have a leader

Come on admit it...you know I'm the Gaming Mesiah

Thanks. I think the accuracy is down to my fondness for shotguns

I see you are a General 42 with a play time of 417 hours, I am a General 1 with a play time of 111 hours, considering I have a lower score per minute than you theres no way I will even attempt to reach 100 stars lol

I gave on the idea of level 100 right at the start

Thats wise, its really quite pointless. It was better in the days before stats IMO, just play the game for fun not to rank up.

I gave up with the idea of 1 right from the start.

Well I finally got around to finishing Dead Nation, only had 2 zones/areas left. Such a fun and addictive game may well go back and play it again. Would be a good game for the Vita.

Think I will play something from my list of games before buying anything new, maybe Far Cry 3. Does it matter that I haven't played any of the previous ones... are they different stories?

No it makes no difference ,Far Cry 3 is a excellent game but looks like i got shafted again having bought it on release for the 360,now you know i dumped all the 360 stuff after there disastrous conference ,but only 4 weeks ago picked it up again for the Playstation 3.......

And now its free on Playstation Plus

Mind you saying that it don't run very well on the playstation 3 compared to the 360 ,hate saying it but throughout the present generation that is about to die the xbox multi-platform games were always better.

And i doubt this will happen on the next generation given how Sony according to developers is a Breeze to program on.

Yeah, sounds like sloppy coding when you say it like that. Start with the Xbox/PC versions as they're similar to code for then port it over for the confusing console and just get it out there best you can, never mind if it runs poorly or not. I guess Sony realised their mistake eventually and now their next console is gonna be a PC in a box too. Y'see my friend, you console boys are all getting PCs too.

When my bank balance is well and truly healed I will definitely consider buying a new PC, I mean, PS4.

That's good to know I think I will play it next then.

Mine isnt any smaller :/

got about 30 pc games to play/finish
and about 20 console games.

Started playing Spec Ops: The Line tonight, really good game so far enjoying it a lot

Edited by astateoftrance (Sat 12-Oct-13 22:42:39)

Just finished Spec Ops, didn't know much about the game before playing it and only have done because it was on PS+ but it has turned out to be a very good and enjoyable game

Next I think I will go onto Far Cry 3, by the time I finish that there should be a price drop on GTA 5

Dream on retailers are paying up to £38 trade in for GTA5 because they can not get enough copies,when your playing that I will be playing with my new toy

Played the demo when it first come out and thought very little of it,but I know a lot of sites gave it good review scores,far cry 3 on the other hand is a brilliant game and would have been a awesome experience on a new playstation 4 because as nelster mentioned many months back the playstation 3 version certainly has frame rate issues.

See I bought this on a 360, a console I no longer own ,and this is why the 360 won the battle of the multi platform games because I did not encounter the same amount of poor frame rate issues that I did with the p3 version.

Next week when we hit November my hype metre will start to get higher and higher,it's been a aweful long wait since my pre/ order was originally placed on Feb 21 st ....ordered in Winter and releasing the following Winter...mind you it's the best time for gaming...dark cold nights besides the fire duel shock 4 in hand and a new generation is born

Hope when you do upgrade Trance you join the few of us on here for some games .

Haha. Yeah I don't expect a price drop on it until after PS4 has launched but I can wait. Really don't feel excited about it any more for some reason. Got plenty to play until then anyway.

Gta 5 is a great game,not really my type but still very good,apart from the first few days of release i don't really get the urge to play it that often and have completed very little.

So along with all the other Playstation 3 stuff it will be going

It really is a very good game and much more than you initially think it will be. The story is great, graphics good and the atmosphere of Dubai half submerged in sand is really surreal, combat is also very enjoyable. Anyway I know you wont go back to a old game like this but to any one else check out the review here

Look forward to seeing your opinion on the PS4 and will definitely join you guys for some games when I upgrade but not sure when that will be yet.

I started to download it the other day. Will give it a whirl this week, if I can stop playing GTAV for long enough.

I reckon GTA V is so good it wouldn't be any better even if it was on a PS4

I think the definition would be a lot better. The textures can be a bit harsh especially when flat out in the city.

I would love a PS4 version in 1080 with texture clarity. Still got my fingers crossed to be honest.
