Recommendations for me?

MsMarvel - me too! I have no desire to finish things on a hard setting, it takes all the enjoyment out when it's too hard.

I play almost everything on easy, I think the only one I don't is Bioshock and that's because I have played it that many times I can almost predict the action!

The combat is pretty good. You usually play as Geralt, and with him you've a fast attack or a strong attack (just 2 buttons to choose from for waving your sword about!). He has lots of different moves, but you only need to choose between those two attacks. There's a few spells you can cast - they call them signs but a spade is a spade. You've a crossbow you can use too, and you can learn how to make bombs which can be thrown at enemies. It has auto aim but you can move it to be more precise if you like. You can also brew potions to help you, and oils to apply to your blade during combat.

You also play occasionally as Ciri (voiced by Tweak from the Octonauts of all people!) and she has a couple cool special moves. Fortunately for me, the command buttons are displayed on the bottom of the screen so if you know what type of attack you want to do, but can't remember which button, it's there for you.

There's a few difficulty settings on the game too, I'm like you Marvel, I like to feel I can achieve something with a game without dying a thousand times! I usually do a first play through on the easiest setting, then if I play again I might up the difficulty if I'm confident. You can adjust the difficulty any time though.

Like Skyrim there are perks you can pick up to improve your combat skills, and you can pick and choose from them. You get one when you level up, and one when you visit a Place of Power (a big magic stone in the ground).

Hope that's useful - best thing to do though is check out twitch to see people playing, or YouTube - plenty videos to watch. Or just buy it cause it's awesome!

What is the combat like in witcher 3? I love skyrim and Dragon age but I like playing games with the combat difficulty turned down...

I get frustrated if I'm dying all the time because I like to get totally lost in the role play of the game and character.

You people playing Sims and Theme Hospital might also like , which looks pretty good.

'I only play Sims 3 on pc really!'

Me too Felicia, Sims4 now though. Although I have Theme Hospital and Ceaser3 that I occasionally feel compelled to replay!

Bioshock is only £3.99 in game, might pop out and get it today. ----

"System Shock 2 is £1.74 on Steam"

Bargain!

Op, glad you're enjoying it so much! Took me ages to get used to the levelling up but it's all good, the combat is just so much fun. I played on the easiest setting first time round and managed to get away with being rubbish at defence - I like running at danger, sword flailing about! On a harder difficulty now and I need to get better now or die lots. Dh ordered a special pack for the first dlc which gave us a real set of Gwent cards - I didn't play at all on my first play through, second play through is taking much longer cause I'm playing Gwent every 5 minutes.

Orange, it's worth getting the newer system for!

System Shock 2 is £1.74 on Steam

Oh that ?? Should have been

Orange you could play them out of order, but best not to. They do loosely link together with the storylines.

I'm going to check out system shock - I only play Sims 3 on pc really!

I've been catching up with Wolfenstein yesterday - I got to a bit I couldn't complete ages ago so put it to one side. Passed it on the first go ??

The original is very good as well on 360, although I'm only about half way through so far.

"Bioshock 2 and Infinite are also great"

Yeah I'll have to get around to playing them at some point; they are both sitting in my 'games yet to play' pile in a cupboard.

Oooo Bioshock! Thank you, I forgot I wanted to try that! I guess I should start at the beginning with it?

MadeMan - I've played the first one about 8 times I think I like playing it almost to the end and then just wandering round looking at stuff.

Bioshock 2 and Infinite are also great

"I simply have to recommend Bioshock"

Oh yes, fantastic game!

And even if you don't like the type, I simply have to recommend Bioshock as it's my most favourite EVER

Orange you might like Fallout - same kind of open world play. Or Dishonoured is pretty good and has some supernatural elements. You can get all The Walking Dead games for free on Gold at the moment (although I admit I don't know if that's specific to Xbox One.) Also some scary one is cheap - The Evil Within I think? It's all games for about £20.

I have booked three days off for when Fallout 4 comes out on the 10th

Witcher 3 is only for PS4, PC and X-Box One, I'm afraid.

Yes to Red Dead and the add on. No to Sleeping Dogs and Alan Wake. Thanks Made, looking at them now.

"I have a 360 and am running out of things to play."

Have you played and the add-on

Also, and

Is Witcher 3 only for xbox one, not 360? I have a 360 and am running out of things to play. Loved Skyrim so Witcher sounds awesome, but not if it's only for the one!

Get Fable 2

I recently bought an Xbox just to re-play fable...

Ex was an Xbox gamer, current dp is a PlayStation guy. I missed some of my Xbox games so got myself a new toy!
