Multiple Multiplatform Matters

Any of you lot with a PSN account - fire me a friend request. Same username as here. Can't believe it's taken me this long to do this.

I've added you

I've been playing FIFA 16 on the XBONE via EA Access and it's not great at all, only good thing about it they added women's teams.

This year it seems PES is the game to get but I'm not sure I'm bothered about having a football game or not.

I seem to have suddenly got a lot to play but not sure which to play first out of them all

As I've downloaded Witcher III & Transformers Devastation, so I've got them along with being about 8hrs into Dragon Quest Heroes, yet to start Tales of Zestria, then it's all the old games I'm yet to touch like playing Uncharted 2 again or Vanishing of Ethan Carter and that's counting stuff on Wii U like Project Zero, Devils Third and next week I'll have Rainbow Six Siege to play along with XCX.

Thankfully there seems to be nothing coming out after XCX in December I want and most of Jan's games are late Jan that I maybe able to catch up but 3 of them are RPG's which means there likely long.

What to play first though?

I'd go for the games that will be relatively quick to beat.

I started Witcher 3 which may not of been the best of idea's.

I also picked up The Witcher III alongside FFX/X2 on PS4. I think I'm good for games for a while now - got Fallout 4 to beat, The Witcher III and Bloodborne to play, FFX/X2 to get around to, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Old Blood to blast my way through... that's not even getting into any PS+ games I get or my unplayed PS3 library.

Have you played FFX at all Jay? I was enjoying it until they decided to make it impossible to finish.

I need to go back to FFX, I'm like 7hts in on the road bit and the monsters have seem to have gone from easy to kill to they kill me easy that, I've not gone back.

The only difficulty spikes I had on FFX was the final few bosses and that bloody dragon thing you battle on an air ship. Some of the dungeons were odeous, but the aeon system was definitely one of the better summon systems.

By road, do you mean the bit after Luca? You need armour piercing weapons and magic from memory.

From a mate who's finished it on PS2, 3 & 4 and was going to platinum it, says I need to use Wakka and certain move.

But I can't remember what with out putting the game in.

He is a good all rounder who can deal damage and lay on the status effects, but his ultimate effectivness is defined by how much you like blitzball.

Star Wars Battlefront, then. I bought a month of EA Access for £3.99, which gets me a 10-hour trial of Battlefront. Fair enough it might not be enough to justify a full game's price, but bought like this and played with my dad and my brother taking it in turns on the pad, this is great fun! Slick shooting, lashings of Star Wars and some of the best graphics I've ever seen.

Sorry Andy, I totally missed this! Yeah, I played a bit of it back in the PS2 days, but got nowhere near the end. I liked it and from what I hear it's one of the best Final Fantasy games on a gameplay level, but the story's a bit pants.

Battlefront is stunning - the best graphics I've seen in a game to date, absolutely. Video game snow usually looks a bit naff, but Hoth looks unreal in Battlefront.

See, now I thought it looked really real, that's what I liked about it... :p

...

Well I'm back playing Destiny with the Taken King and after not playing for a while again, seems like I've got tonnes to do on the game which is great. I may after that go back to Dragon Age Inquisition as some reason, I really want to play that and get finished before I start Witcher III proper for instance.

FFX does have a beautiful battle system, with an odd sense of fluidity despite it being entirely turn based. With that, Witcher 3 and Bloodborne ahead of you, you've definitely got some great games to look forward to.

I started FFX HD last night, actually. I'm surprised by how good it looks on PS4, and it was a nice surprise to hear they've redone the soundtrack.

I've played some Firewatch (it's PC,PS4), I've only done the first day but the prologue

If the game keeps at the standard from the prologue & day one, this is going to be hella of a game.

Been hearing a lot of buzz about that game. Might be one I have to download when I pick up a few Steam curios on payday...

Yeah, I was listening to the Videogamer lads chat about it on their podcast and I'm interested despite the fact they said next to nothing about it as they were skirting around spoilers. Might be one I pick up in a PSN sale in the near future.

Its 10% off on Psn at the moment so I was tempted after watching Jim Sterling play day 1. Some people are experiencing frame rate problems though so I went with the crumpster's favorite, Journey, instead.

Well it is ex-telltale members who made Firewatch and we know what telltale games run like.

I thought you were cool Muss!

I'm tempted by Firewatch, but between the dodgy sounding ending, the framerate issues and the price I think this one will be an easy miss, especially as I've been playing the simply amazing The Witness, which has more than given me my fill of indie nonsense for a while.

I really fancy the Witness as well, but the price and length feel more like a full game than an Indie so I won't pick it up until I'm sure I can give it some time.
