I've always found FIFA games, and nearly all football games and most sports games boring.
I don't set out to find them boring, I want to like them, I just so rarely do. I find the whole experience of playing FIFA just too fiddly, and I get bored cos I can't do it, and lose interest very quickly. Which is more of an issue this year as FIFA 17 came with my Xbox One.
Got as far as a signing for a team and playing one match. |

They did have DLC yes, but the game didn't keep bawwing that you neeeded to buy something. The tournaments were stand alone parts of the original game, now the tournies are online only, and it's just pot luck wether the levels are ones I need to buy or not. |
That's the way gaming has gone. Trying to think of the last game I played that didn't have DLC, probably Unravel. It definitely takes the piss where they're holding back content which would/should have been in the base game.

I tried PES 2017 and I was awful, even after going through all the training tutorials The early PES games were better to pickup and play, then they started adding combinations for skills etc. which as a casual player you aren't gonna bother with.
Also footie games have probably developed the least out of any genre. FIFA still plays like FIFA '97 , you still make perfectly diagonal runs down the pitch. |

Every now and then I get a hankering for FIFA so I buy the previous years for <£5 which if you don't care about the players/teams is 95% the same game. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

I don't have high hopes due to the developer involved, but it'll be nice to have the IoM circuit in a game again. TT Superbikes Legends was the last IIRC (excluding mods on PC). |

Finishing the Walking Dead series game. I revisited this a while ago, played one episode a day, one last episode of the season 2 to go. Now, I made some different choices, different people died etc., still a good game/interactive film. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

The best TellTale game I've played, was the Back to the future series. It was a genuine point and click adventure game, with puzzle solving, tough. I can't even recall if your actions could influence the story.
I found out there was a 3rd. season of the Walking dead series, The Walking Dead: A New Frontier!
I finished the 2nd season and I'm playing the 3rd right now. Shame the system reqs. are not the same, I played the first 2 seasons in 4K and it looked great. 1080P for the 3rd one it is, I guess.
Finished the Frontier, and found out about yet another season. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

^^^ I still can't cover ground quickly enough when not in a vehicle.
Especially finding it hard to shut off all the mini radar thingies on rooftops within the time limit. Have a few
settlements where that's all I have left to do to liberate them but after a few attempts I get the arsehole with it and
stick GTA back on. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Press L1 on a roof to grapple, quite far away, holding L2 to boost, then open your parachute for speeds and fly to the next one. just jumping off the parachute then grappling to the place where the post is is mega fast.
That's my tactic, though I've just learned the airbrake and close of the wingsuit so now I'm learning how to grapple my way around while wingsuiting. ____________________ I'm Sam; Northern, Ginger, Lover

The monitoring system was undoubtedly the most challenging thing for me.
The good doctor's advice is spot on. I'll only add that I found it a bit easier if you start with the most elevated switch. |

L2 to boost you say? Haven't tried that. This is what happens when middle aged men play video games. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I need to do some gear unlocks I think, have the same kit I started the game with. I don't likethe driving/flying physics
at all, so the races and time trials won't be much fun. It's a bit like shoot shoot shoot die respawn and repeat.
Each settlement or base is using up dozens of lives but I am chipping my way through them using this method. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

My dad has GTA San Andreas on his tablet, but he can't play driving games, and so he walks everywhere.
I've just finished Atic Atac and JetPac, can't get on with Jet Man, and just started Conkers. These are all on a multi game anthology collection thingy.
GTA V, I'm getting back into on the Xbox one. Every day I go online, rob a store, sell a car, do a couple of jobs, and then go back to single player. My online avatar is designed to look like me, right down to the flat cap, and I try really, really, really hard not to crash my bike
Got a bit disillusioned with Elite, it just seemed to be to difficult, I wanted to be engage in combat, but found it all too bewildering.
Might go back to Skyrim, with a new character build soon. |
