I've been a veteran of Gaming for many years now and seen it come from slow loading tapes like the BBC Micro (Which was released before I was born ) through the console wars of Megadrive vs SNES to Playstation vs Xbox to the modern day.
So what are you playing now? Let us know what games you've been playing and give us a little description, the more obscure the better
I've recently gotten my hands on No Mans Sky on the PS4, one of the most anticipated games of 2016 and with good reason! So far I've only clocked about 6 hours but I've discovered and named 20 species of alien life, several planets and even named and entire Galaxy after myself. Because I have a massive ego There isn't much in the way of a tutorial so it's been fun just toying about and learning everything for myself. It's early days so I'm sure there's going to be more and more new developments for this game!
Let us know what you've been playing in the comments and happy gaming!

It is a bit of a grind but I'm still enjoying the amazing landscapes and spotting shorelines of lakes that look like Mandelbrot sets, but I'm a bit of fractal geek. I'm only on my second system and I'm considering going back to my starting system as I hardly touched it in terms of exploration. I have maxed out the journey milestones for "on-foot exploration", "alien colonist encounters" and "words collected" (results in babelfish rank which is nice). I have learned 342 words, most of which are Gek and I am now able to follow most Gek conversations with still a few missing words.
You must be the person they are kinda talking about all over the net about spending 25 hours on the starter planet.
Pig face is the animals, it is this one ugly looking pig face it continually uses in different systems, some big and some small.

I left my start planet quite quickly and jumped to a new system, but I have been concentrating on building up my Gek vocabulary on the planets in just one system. With occasional asteroid mining trips to and from a space station to boost my credits. Went back to my start planet today and discovered the Atlas story thread which I had missed before and got my first Atlas stone.
I haven't been lucky enough to encounter many creatures so far so, the planets have been too hostile, so I haven't noticed the lack of diversity. Maybe if I find a class M planet I might see more fauna

Does it have different kinds of stars (sun types)? like pulsars etc - maybe even blackholes?
I know that Elite Deadly has some of that stuff
Bases are supposed to be coming in an update....
But Id wait until its working- there's too much been cut from the game for me to believe it until I see it. Frame-rate fixes for PC are done , there's still some work to do though. At the minute it has potential. But its well short of the initial trailers....

Currently playing Person 4 Golden on my PS Vita, getting hyped for Persona 5 next year, also looking forward to Battlefield 1, Deus Ex Mankind Divided. 😄

Grand Theft Auto V on PS3. Got to 95% the first time round but lost interest when the game went multi payer. I've just started from the beginning.
GTA V is definitely worth playing through to its conclusion if you have the time / inclination. I still find myself dipping back into the game from time to time now, still very playable even if you've already played through a few (too many ) times!
