Octobers games for gold

Super Mega Baseball – Steam 9/10 IGN 81./10 Google play 5/5
The Escapists – Steam 9/10
MX vs ATV – Steam 9/10
I am alive – Metacritic 69% IGN 4.5/10 Gamespot 8/10

I don't mind the occasional baseball game and this one looks alright. I'm not particularly bothered about the other 3 though.

I see COD5 is now on backward compatibility

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016- ... patibility

Does anyone know if they have fixed the cheating problem with it - i know the last time on the 360 i tried cod4 and cod5 they were both unplayable online due to hackers

How did this thread drop off the first page? Hmm..

Anyway, Raiden 5 is out today. I don't know how much it is yet but it's pretty much a given that I'll buy it.


No longer £39.99 but merely a tenner for gold users. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

I had a quick go on Raiden V last night. The gameplay seems pretty spot on but OH GOD THE TALKING.

There's text and spoken dialogue everywhere like it's been ripped from House of The Dead and spewed out into the game (during stages as well - non just inbetween stages) and it congratulates you every time you do just about anything because they needed something to do in the massive vertical borders.

I am hoping that is just restricted to Story Mode (?!) which was the only one I have tried so far.

At first I thought "what the hell?!?" but I quickly got over that and actually enjoyed the muttering in the background. It does seem very disjointed to what I'm actually doing though so it's like having a film on while playing a game.

There's been a new update to the Xbox one which includes 'rare' achievements that play a different sound when unlocked and also, the ability to start a club. This is so you can link up with like minded individuals and play together.

I've started a Club Beex so don't all jump at once to join it. If you can't find it, post your gamer tag and I'll invite you.

We've had one for at least a year on PS4. It's not overly used tbh.

I can't see me using this feature either to be honest, but I suppose it's nice to have.

Anyway, as part of the new update they've added "Rare achievements". I was looking into how this would work and it's actually quite clever. Now, when you look at an achievement for a game, it will tell you the percentage of gamers who have played the game and unlocked that achievement. If it's below 10%, then that's rare achievement and it will play a different sound when unlocked. There's also a little diamond next to it.

It's a nice addition and I guess it will reignite some peoples interest in achievements.

Sounds quite cool. On the PS4 it tells you the rarity of a trophy in the game list. I've had my time with achievements though. They sucked the fun out of gaming for me as I became obsessed with completion percentages and all sorts of nonsense and it stopped me playing a lot of things last gen.

I've just looked and I'm on 58565. I know what you mean about spoiling some games though as I went through that phase. I didn't want to start anything unless I got a fair few achievements out of them. In a strange way, I was also worried what people would think if I started a load of games but never completed anything as a few friends and I used to mock someone else we knew who did just this.

Anyway, I've got over that now and I'm happy to have come out the other side and am back to wanting to enjoy games....Now, if only I could find an Xbox One game I enjoy....

I'm playing Zombie Army Trilogy at the moment and whilst it's fun, I'm not sure there's enough variety in it to hold my interest for to long.

94,712G and I haven't played an Xbox game in over three years. Slightly miffed I never got to 100k but that sums me up really. At one point I was getting 12,000G a year solidly.

Just checked mine and it's at a lowly 25,674. I haven't played a 360 game for a couple of years - all my recent stuff has been on PC games or the two Wordament apps (it's a shame more people don't play Snap Attack really, it's an excellent Scrabble-like game).

The main reason I stopped playing 360 games was due to the noise my console was making, so maybe I'll get an Xbox One in due course. Although now the PS4 has VR, I might just go down that route instead.

Just to make things worse on the achievement front, they've added a monthly leaderboard so you can see how many more achievements you need to get the gold spot.

I can see that spurring some people on.

Recently I’ve been playing Zombie Army Trilogy recently but last night I decided to stop and move on to something else.

While the game starts off as fun, and I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of seeing the slow mo X-ray shots, it is very repetitive. It’s also very, very bleak and I found myself missing human contact. Isn’t that weird? Your player is the only non zombie around and you have no interaction with other people. At first this didn’t bother me but as I go further and further through the game, it’s really started to affect me.

I’m getting lonely so off it goes.

I’m going to try Quantum Break instead. That looks like it could be a blockbuster type affair.

This is why you play it with an Ian.

It is really a coop game.

I don't have an Ian to play it with. I'm tempted to sign up for one of these new Xbox Clubs that they're promoting. Apparently this is a way to get with like minded players who want to play a game in co-op but doesn't have anyone to play with.

Getting a PS4 is also a good way of doing that.

Has anyone played Quantum Break? Actually, let me start again… Does anyone own an Xbox One?

I’ve got Quantum Break and I started playing it last night. The story is that a scientist has developed a time machine but obviously, things go wrong. You get caught up in it and develop super powers which allow you to slow down time, speed up time so you can zip about, view things that happened in the past (like detective view in Batman) and also generate a shield to stop bullets (How this is related to time type powers is beyond me but still…)

The game is very cinematic and features the guy from Channel 4’s Queer as Folk. I don’t know his name but I remember his face. You play the brother of the scientist so you’re not directly involved in the experiment until the accident. Then the big global megacorporation get involved and send a load or armed police after you to stop you.

The only problem I have had so far is that you seem quite at ease with shooting and killing all the police that get in your way. Clearly I’ve never shot anyone but if I did, and they died as a result, I’m pretty sure it would take some coming to terms with.

But anyway, so far, I like it. It reminds me of a game on the 360 that was possibly called Timeshift? I can’t remember. The story in this makes sense and I can see some big plot twists coming up. It seems that a lot has been invested in this as the cut scenes seem very big budget and fancy looking and using real actors has obviously helped the dialogue. I shall look forward to playing it some more.

Yes I fancy Quantum Break it's just I have all the Gold games and Gears of War 4 and 3 and 2 oh and 1 remastered to play on the XboxOne and that's after finishing UC4. CoDBlops3 and Arkham Knight on the PS4

I need some kind of time machine.

Have you thought of playing Quantum Break?

Seriously though, my backlog is equally as big but Quantum Break has jumped to the top of the pile for something serious to play. Pure is now backwards compatible so I'm playing that for fun too.

If you thought Albinokid was doing well last month for achievements, check out this month! Bear in mind that were only ten days into it.

Nope. The scale hasn't changed. I do believe it's still around 1000 points per game. Some more because of DLC.

He's on a competition on an achievement tracking site to increase it as much as possible in a month. I'm sure I saw him say on twitter he'd hit over 25000 in a rolling 30 days, mostly by maxing indie games.
