It's the Nintendo fanboy effect. They think they're in a special club or something. It's weird.

I just enjoy good games regardless of developer/platform and that's it personally!

Me too

I cannot be arsed with this whole "Console War" bollocks

I remember as a child not getting drawn into the whole SNES Vs Mega Drive nonsense

I thought they were both great machines and wanted both of them! (Even though that was never going to happen)

To be fair I've seen the opposite as well. People who haven't played BOTW trashing it because they hate Nintendo for some bizarre reason.

I'm like you, I just love good games, I don't care what platform a game happens to be on (though I hope it's one I own!).

Why not just be happy that there's 2 class games to get stuck in to?

Often it's buyer's justification. But these days I think people just genuinely love hating things. More than they enjoy... Just enjoying things.

Weird indeed.

New Mass Effect is a giant turd sandwich. For a game with so many cut scenes its ridiculous how terrible the facial animations etc are... How am I meant to get engrossed and immersed in a story when it's so hilariously bad. Gameplay and story is bang average so far as well.

This guy nails it lol

Thanks, you've saved me a few quid there, the combat looks horrid... or at least I can wait long enough for the price to go down if it's not quite as bad on the PS4.

@RFUS - just been giving Yakuza 0 a go.

LOVE the look and feel of it. But Christ there's a lot of dialogue. Tell me it dies down a bit? And I can do some exploring?

Please.

The first few hours are quite story heavy then around chapter 2/3 you can just run off and do side stories and play mini games. You'll switch character and location in chapter 4 I think.

I don't think it's a dialogue heavy game personally. I mean anything with a proper story (and so many side stories) has to have dialogue really. Like I said it's not an open world game. You don't run around shooting things or driving cars off bridges. The variety comes from the various brilliant side stories you find (e.g. winning a disco dancing competition, helping miracle Johnson, I.e. Michael Jackson, shoot a thriller-esque music video and loads more I don't want to spoil), plus all the minigames.

It's superb. A bit retro, in a good way, feels quite arcadey. Full of great minigames (the karaoke and disco dancing are absolutely hilarious). But on top of all that it has 17 lengthy story chapters with really well written characters, and 100 side stories which are usually very, very funny. The combat is solid and often really entertaining, given the mix of fighting styles and the ability to use surrounding items, be it shopping carts or potted plants, to pummel people.

Can't really say a bad word about it. It's funny, it's fun to play and it is packed with content.

Think this is next on my list. Almost boxed of Horizon and then I'm going to get to Mafia III. Think Yakuza will be after that.
 
I do like what I have seen of Andromeda so far, though it does seem that most of the characters my character has met so far are people who would have voted for Clinton.

It's not clicked with me as yet. But hopefully it will.

Mafia 3 is very repetitive, after the first 2 or 3 missions you will have pretty much done all there is to do in the game. The storyline isn't much of anything really either.
Just started Yakuza and got to chapter 4 and I really wish it would give all the story dialogue a bit of a rest, some of them last 10-15 minutes a time. The story does seem quite interesting so far though and I believe it dies down from now on hopefully. Gameplay is much better than Mafia and there are already a lot of different fighting styles to understand and master, so I'm looking forward to getting on with playing it, which is in contrast to Mafia which felt like a chore and I only played it to completion as I don't like not too.
