I downloaded the free to play COD: Warzone game a few days ago. I think it's my first time playing COD since Black Ops in 2010/2011 when I got bored of the same thing. Warzone is a battle royal game which is interesting.


Firstly it was an 83GB download! Wasn't expecting that.


The gameplay was enjoyable. I don't play shooters on PC these days because I like playing with a controller but it's a massive disadvantage playing against people using keyboard and mouse. This though seemed to group all the controller users together and because it's cross platform I was mainly playing with Xbox and playstation players.


Anyway it's not all run and gun like the previous COD games I played. They got progressively dumber. This battle royal mode allows for some strategy. For instance I soon found that it's better to go high on a rooftop and wait for the initial killing frenzy to cool down. 150 players split into 50 teams of 3. I would gather a good arsenal of weapons and make my way slowly through the streets to the center where the gas was closing in on. Got caught by the gas a few times because I wasn't paying attention to it.


Had something like 14 games. My team won 1, I came in 4th in another and in other games I was killed straight away. When you parachute down try to avoid the crowd.


It was good fun but frustrating at times. Being in a good team is also important.

Anyway I'm play FF7 for the umpteenth time read for the remake in just over 3 weeks (hopefully still digitally available).

Anyone have any recommendations for games with good stories that you don't have to particularly skilled at to enjoy? On Xbox so that rules out a number. Have enjoyed games like Witcher 3, the rockstar games, older assassins creedsand the Arkham games.

Ughhhhh the XBox kinda ties a hand behind my back....nope everything I've played heavy storywise is PS4 only or its Witcher 3.

Yeah there's a few Sony exclusives that have tempted me over the years but I couldn't ever justify two consoles.

Sleeping Dogs can be had for a few quid these days (came out at the end of last gen and was remastered for current gen)
One of my favourite games of all time

The LOTR Shadow Of games are brilliant

I'm also a sucker for Far Cry games so 4, 5 or Primal are worth a crack too

bought RDR2 yesterday, very good but the sheer size of it means that if your horse dies then your a bit screwed

Spoiler alert: Your horse is going to die. Make peace with that very early on. Luckily there are plenty of horses to steal on the map.

March sale on the PS+ has some good deals on atm


Also just remembered another single player game I really enjoyed: Mafia 3 (very different to the first two as it's set in Vietnam era and you're not a traditional mafia guy, however it's a good game with a killer soundtrack)

Have my Nintendo Switch ordered. Supposed to come tomorrow or Friday. Honestly don't understand it that well, but looking forward to playing some of the games they have on it. Got Pokemon with the thing. Separated from my XBOX as she's down in Cork and I'm in Dublin but we'll be together again soon. I would tear armies down to be with you babe, us against the world. Ahem anyway hoping to play some COD Warzone when I have the XBOX back. Looks pretty fun, if very frustrating BR.
Played some Town of Salem with mates the other night. Good craic for a few hours.

I recommend Octopath Traveller if you want to get your JRPG on.

Breath of the Wild and Mario Oddesy are good shouts as well

Anyone played Conan exiles?

I was just googling open world games and thought it looked interested but got very mixed reviews.
