Also I am very touched to be included in a poll and I thank anyone who voted :D

Are they announcing an N64 mini too? Or is this just something I somehow invented in my head?

Does anyone know if there was ever a Torchlight 1/2 thread in Games? I have tried searching but I fear I am not utilising the search correctly and can only find references to the game in other threads.

I was going to start Torchlight 1 and wanted to know of any must have mods for the game. (Same for II as well when I get round to it.)

I think most people here would just tell you to play Diablo 3, Path of Exile, or Grim Dawn instead.

I played Torchlight 1 unmodded a couple years ago and liked it enough.

I have all of those and have played them already. Diablo 3 is one of my most favourite games of all time.

I just thought I would give the torch lights a try. I never realised how much I enjoyed this style of game until Diablo 3. :)

Replaced the 500GB hard drive with a 1TB hard drive in Lady Videogames' PS4 yesterday evening and queued up about 20 things to install (and subsequently complete when I am half way through a few of them)! On the list are:
Yakuza 0.
Witcher 3.
Spider-man. (60% through)
God of War. (50% through)
Persona 5 (Deliberately went back to the school - not sure the percentage through).
Destiny 1 (On Venus!)
Red Dead Redemption 2 (start of Chapter 2!)

and a few smaller ones like Everybody's Golf, and Peggle 2.

I am making it my goal to have all these big names finished before March 2019 :D

Hello chat thread. I came across a thread I made a while ago and remembered how much fun it was. It was where I was planning to split 2017 into themed months as a way to cut down on my stupidly large steam library.

Japanuary, FPSbruary, March!, April Scours to name a few of the month themes.

My PC broke in April scours and it was a big pain to me because I did not own many console games at that point and was quite poor so I could not fix it for at least three months rendering the whole thread broken.

I tried some games I probably would never have gotten round to before and those four months were great fun.

Since then my libraries across all systems have expanded and heck I want to give it another shot! A whole year of specific gaming :D

So like last time, I would love if any of you came up with some awesome Month puns with specific game types/genres I could play. I want to mix it up from last time. The only category I am keeping is 'Boo-ly: Scary games in July.'

All the rest I want a different challenge. Also if there is a specific game of a genre I am going to tackle (some people suggested some awesome games last time that I ended up getting around to much later) then please let me know and I will put them on the month :D

Systems that I can play are: PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSVita, WiiU, Switch, and PC!

I will create a thread for it again, and I aim to play at least 2 different games a week, so am going to spend the rest of November and December planning it all out. (This will also be a doable New Years Resolution I feel!) I am very excited! :D

This blows my mind. I played through 1,2 and 3 as renegade Femshep the entire time. I saved every single person except for Kaidan in 1. I cannot imagine not having Wrex throughout the rest of the trilogy. And Garrus came with me on every single mission he possibly could. I love Garrus! :D

I will definitely see Detective Pikachu.

Also if there is a black friday sale on for PSVR here in the UK I will be getting one. I tried one out in store at the weekend and had a blast! I have been putting off getting Resident Evil VII because I want to experience it in VR :D

I usually choose my GOTY based on the best game I played that year regardless of release date. :D

As such, my GOTY2018 was Nier:Automata and remains one of the most emotional, evocative and engrossing gaming experiences I have ever had. I struggle to think of a game with a soundtrack I like more or an ending that floored me in the way it did. I will always gush about this game and it probably comes off a hyperbole for which I do apologise, but the game is an utter masterpiece to me and my third favourite Game of All Time!

With all the recent talk in the thread over the last couple of weeks of people giving their GOTYs I've realised it would be super fun to bring over the Top 10 of the Year thread that I've run a few times in TV IV. Before I get started on knocking an OP up I just wanted to check, is this something that someone already does in this forum? I don't want to go stepping on somebody's toes :ohdear:
