What We Played #245: The Division, Pokkén Tournament & UFC 2

Sometimes it seems like days and weeks blur into one another. This week seems much like the last week, though I am a higher level in The Division now – which is nice – and I’ve also collected more Pokémon in Pokémon Omega Ruby. My main focus has been Pokkén Tournament which surprised me by turning out to be a fun, accessible fighter that offers a real challenge when playing against other people. In fact, the next Tekken game has a lot to live up to now, especially as it is unlikely to feature Pikachu.

Aran has also been playing The Division, hitting the midway point of level 16, and has been taking on a sniping support role in whatever team he’s landed with, covering those that advance or running in to revive them. Luckily everyone seems to be playing the game properly and really functioning as a team which definitely adds to the experience. Besides that, it’s been the hard-hitting UFC 2 that’s taken his time, as he  worked away on his review.

While making smutty jokes about slipping Assassin’s Creed Unity into his drive, Tuffcub also finished Heavy Rain again on PS4, which really speaks to its quality, and has embraced the joy of Rocket League – as everybody should!

Tef popped in with yet another extended bout of The Division;

I’ve dropped a ludicrous 50 hours into The Division since launch, with the vast majority of that having come over the weekend. I kind of felt at a loss with what to do after finishing our review, but I’ve twigged what the end game is about now, so I’m trying to hop on each day and do the daily missions where I can.

That can be quite a time sink, but you’ve got to get those Phoenix Credits – or Dragon Points as I sometimes call them – somehow!

Slightly late to the party, Dave achieved a gaming milestone by completing Super Mario World, before also beginning on Earthbound for a further taste of retro delight. He’s also played Day Of The Tentacle Remastered for review – more on that next week – and having a good memory of it, saw him despatch it in one sitting. There will likely be a disclaimer somewhere that it’s a little harder than that the first time through. Beyond that it’s been more Far Cry Primal, and some Twilight Princess HD, though the latter will likely have to go one the back burner until the summer – which at least means he has something amazing to play during the likely gaming drought.

Now, why don’t you tell us what you’ve played?

  1. Book of Unwritten Tales 2, a bit of Driveclub and i also tried out the TurboTrackMania beta, which i didn’t really take to, as fun as it seemed.
    And i’ve started playing SOMA, a few hours in now and it’s frightfully good so far.
