Computer games.


Mad Max is boss though. And by boss I mean boss for me.

I don't have hours and hours to sit down a play a game from start to finish in one or two sittings. It will take me months to finish any game, if I ever do.

And that's where Max is great. It's very pick up and playable. Like while the Mrs was making tea last night I put it in, took over a stronghold and did a bit of scavaging. Did my car up a bit. Perfect. All in about 45 minutes.

Added the great environment I really don't need much else from a game.

And there lies the problem with your reviewers. Just about every review I see by so called respected game reviewers (which isn't tons as I'm not really arsed what a fat YouTube celeb says) seems to aim their opinion on people who have little else in their lives than games.

Doesn't seem to be a middle ground. Not everyone is the same.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

I started in December though! Plus I'm at the highest ranking that Valve have and captain my own team that is competitive against top teams! lol

Tbh I've been playing CS since 2001, with a rather big break between 2012 and 2014 where I played every other week for an hour or two, so if I could get the hours for that it'd be quite a big number! Sadly it's impossible :(

No comment. Well ok, I will admit that the cover for Barbarian holds a very special place in my heart...

Actually, every reviewer has highlighted your point - notably TotalBiscuit. Mad Max has a lot of content; it's just repetitive content. It depends on what you see as 'value' in a game. If doing "busy work" over and over again for the odd hour a day is what constitutes a good game for you, then that's fine.

However, it'll get just criticism if it's just "stuff for the sake of stuff" from people who are looking at the merits of the title as an actual gaming experience in context with the rest of the genre it's in in 2015.

And Mad Max is repetitive, lacks innovation, brings nothing new whatsoever and doesn't do anything particularly brilliantly. It is a stripped down Far Cry 4 with cars in a desert basically.

Just because it's good for you doesn't make it an actual good game.

I'm with you here Ijjy.

I'd love to be able to hammer through some games but there's just not enough time in the day. Metal Gear is taking me ages because I have a new house to renovate, a full time job (even though I spend most of my time dossin' on here) and a full time ladyfriend which is a job in itself. I'm quite jealous of people who get to spend ages playing games.

Games like PES, Fifa and even the Mario games are ideal because you can dip in and out.

Nah, think it's £70 or so. Used to be £100, but when tournaments come around it drops down massively :(

Also I don't really like most of the expensive skins so that helps me quite a lot to get what I like for 20p or whatever lol

Ha yeah they're usually pretty garish. I'm happy with my predator ak, though I do like the wasteland, just because Fallout.

I'm purposely avoiding finding out how to gamble. It will be carnage.

Nothing controversial there except if you're a rabid Kojima/MGS fanboy who can't take fair critique.

Also, thank God for Jim f'n Sterling son.

I'm one of the biggest MGS fans going, but yeah, the series has always been a bit weird with some of the female characters.

Nothing in particular in 1,2 and 3. But some shameless stuff in 4, Peace Walker and V.
