I'm sure we had one of these before, but as we've got nowhere else on the forums for general game chat, here it is....

I had a few games of team deathmatch on the Call of Duty beta last night. I still can't understand why people spend so much time on these games with each version - they all feel the same to me. I do prefer the days before boost jumps and slides and wall running.


Yeah, it was a bit meh. Not bad, certainly not as bad as all those COD haters make it out to be, but just not fantastic. Waiting for my copy of Battlefield One, anyway, after playing the excellent EA Access trial of it.

Finding all the recordings does become a bit of an obsession, but then they add so much flavour.


It does bother me that I still haven't found them all.

The one I found on Bioshock 2 last night explained why Dr Tenenbaum was back in Rapture. A few lines of audio but very worthwhile.

I think I read that New Game Plus arrived with the DLC for Bioshock rather than being there from day 1.

I've not got 100% pick up rate in any of the 3 games. My fault for not searching every corner but I do try. I have already found an audio diary in Bioshock 2 which I missed before. There is hope for me yet.

2 is the only one I haven't 100% completed on that front.

Got all the voxaphones, looked through all the telescopes and watched all the kinetiscope movies in 3, and that was a mission. Made easier to track though by the nicely organised Steam achievements.

I have a sneaking recollection that New Game+ was already a feature of Bioshock "the first"...

Bioshock 2 doesn't have a New Game + mode which is disappointing considering this was added to the first game. Heading back through and attempting to find all the audio logs. It is a mission destined to fail.

Perhaps I will go back through again at some point and follow a check list. I want to replay the other 2 games first and then I'll take a break for a while.

I'll probably pick up the Fallout DLC one day. I traded in the game after going through it twice so perhaps when the GOTY edition is released.


I played Fallout 3 to death, same with New Vegas, and it looks like 4 is going the same way. Of course, I've added a stack of user made mods too, just to keep things really interesting, but this type of open ended game and story line tend to hold my interest for a long time.

I'll still keep going back to this in three years' time...

Mafia 3 on the go at the moment, but the BF1 EA Access and COD:IW Beta are eating into that a bit.

I found all of them once, but never again. Some of them are just stupidly well hidden, others you see and think "I'll go get that later", (like one of them early on trapped in ice, and no fire at hand), in fact it's a mission all of it's own to get them all.

Side tracked back to Fallout 4 myself. All the new DLC stuff, Nuka World etc. has got me hooked again.
