Got my PS4 under my desk at work, can't wait to get home and get it set up.

First game will be either fallout or bloodborne

Bloodborne is the only game I have never completed. Looks and plays great, but it's so difficult and you have no guide on how to do it. When you die it takes a minute or 2 to load and you die a lot. You have been warned! I don't get the high reception it got. No way the reviewers got through any of it.

Fallout will suck hours and days off the clock if it's your thing. Still haven't played 4.

Bloodborne is fucking awesome, me and my mate were up until 2:30am playing it, brilliant game, not sure how I'll get on when he isn't around to guide me though, I have no internal compass and quite easily get lost in a small room with only one exit.

Just been playing fallout this morning, it's pretty much that same as the others, I'm probably gunna spend all of today wondering round getting lost in it and not actually doing much.

You like it? Interesting. I rarely give up on a game but had to with that one. It looks great, but is so frustrating. It has no save points so with the You Died screen and having to grind to increase your stats, I just got really bored. It is a very highly rated game, but The Witcher 3 does it all much better IMO. Bloodborne has no story and I didn't get why I was in that world. I'm curious to see if you stick with it.

I'm pretty sure that there is a story to it (quite a good one from what I've heard) but you have to stick with it and kind of unravel the yourself.

I like it because it is a proper throw back to the mega drive days of Ghouls and Ghosts, you get killed and you go right the way back to the start, non of this bollocks where you save the game right before a hard point and just stroll your way through, you have to work for it.

Having said that I played it on my own without my mate to navigate me today and it is safe to say that I am pretty fucking useless at it.

Assassin Creed has a film coming out if you like stories so much.

I gave it more than 2 weeks to grow on me and in the first week tried to convince myself it was good too...the lack of save points would make sense with a normal difficulty curve but Bloodborne is designed to torture the player. I got through a fair few bosses and there was not much of a story there. You will see! If you complete it I will be impressed.

Oh I won't complete it, if I get 3 weeks out of it then it has done well.

It doesn't mean it's not a good game, I just have a massive lack of stamina with games, my level is COD (online) and fight night.
