Beyond 2 Souls is out on 13th Oct. Cannot wait, it's from the makers of Heavy Rain and that is my favourite ever PS3 game without a doubt.

GTA V and Total War: Rome II being released in the same month has put me in a bit of trouble, really want both but will probably only afford one of them.

I hate being skint.

Oh yeah. I got Skyrim. I'm playing a frost elf because I have a PC and I can.
Needs a better autosave feature or it should keep points you can teleport to after you die or something. Twice now I've been playing it, been enjoying myself and "immersed" or whatever the fuck and not thought to save so I die and lose 15 minutes of running. Then quit and do something else.

Here's an idea... get a job.

You don't think I've tried?

Have you not played The Last of Us?

If you really wanted to work I'm sure you could find something. It just depends on how much you want to.

Not at all, but it's a million times better.
I guess I should mention that I didn't really like Heavy Rain.

Sure, there's always jobs about for those who are truly desperate for money.

I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in and food on my table, I'm not going to sell my arse on the streets just so I can buy a video game.

QUICK TIME EVENT - FIND YOUR INHALER.

My problem wasn't so much with the gameplay, although it wasn't always the most exciting.
And yeah, there were a lot of interesting ideas in there, like how if a character dies, he's dead for good. That's an interesting way to up the stakes, and promote storytelling in videogames. My problem was how fucking awful the story was. Absolutely dreadful writing. Bad voice acting. etc. etc.

Wasted opportunity. And Beyond Two Souls looks shit as well.

i did play Fahrenheit, which I thought started out pretty well and then turned into nonsense.
It got a pass from me at the time, cus it was a new experience.

I'm playing at the minute as Britannia. Own France, Spain, Northern Italy and the Germania territories. But completely broke. Don't fancy invading Italy or Greece and getting in a massive conflict with the Bruttii right now.
