Yeah I'm in a similar situation with the Switch (Zelda is still the only game that's floated my boat) but when it's a choice between something being a straight port onto the system I barely use (and probably more expensive) or a shiny remaster on my PS4 then it's a no brainer for me. Although as you haven't played the game before at all then its probably not so much of an issue (as I've said before I've already finished it twice on my PS3 ) You're in for a bloody treat anyway. I've rarely been so emotionally invested in a games storyline as i was with Ni No Kuni. Helps being a huge Ghibli fanboy but blimey it's just wonderful.

Is it just for the portability that you're getting it on the Switch mate? I have a Switch and PS4 and I'll be opting for the PS4 version as I would imagine it'll run better. **edit** also after a quick read it seems the Switch version isn't even a remaster, rather just a straight port. The PS4 and PC versions are remasters so absolutely no contest for me.

The first game isn't even in the same league as the sequel. In fact, it's not even the same sport. It's way, way better. The first game is comfortably in my top five games of all time. I'll be buying it again on ps4 and I've finished the ps3 version twice. It's a god damn masterpiece.

It has.

Fincher was attached to a sequel but it got cancelled iirc.

Excellent psychological horror movie from the Writer/Director of Grave Encounters Colin Minihan. A stripped back, effectively sparse storyline coupled with strong performances from the two leads (the whole thing is effectively a two hander as there are hardly any other actors in it), with some nice twists and turns along the way. It's on Netflix if you fancy giving it a go

Yeah I recommended this one on here a while ago. Very clever premise and really well executed.

Popped over my local park this morning to take the dog for a walk and there were two elderly gentlemen (i'd say both mid to late 70's) chatting excitedly about Villa's upcoming season and how wonderful they both thought Dean Smith was. Brought a proper smile to my face.

Rage 2. Once again I'm glad I ignored the average reviews. It's an absolute blast with some of the best gunplay I've ever experienced (ID always seem to get that bit bang on) Yes it's not terribly original and it can get samey but it's just so much bloody fun.

Finished Sharp Objects on Sky yesterday. Very enjoyable, well put together show. Terrific performances from Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson and a great, slow burn story with a strong finale. Recommended if you haven't seen it. Also finished S2 of Killing Eve - decent enough, with some standout scenes and lots more Fiona Shaw which is always a bonus. I can't help thinking it's kind of run it's course now though as the two main characters were in danger of turning into caricatures a few times over the series. Still good entertainment though.

Habib Beye.

To be fair he probably would.

Kate Tempest - Let Them Eat Chaos.

He is absolutely superb live. It's a shame he'll never play anywhere as 'small' as the Wolves Civic again

Dinosaur Pile Up - Celebrity Mansions

Abba are **** great.

Ep 7 of What We Do In The Shadows... Gawd knows how they managed to get that calibre of guest stars into one episode but I can only assume that Taika Waititi has a serious amount of pull these days. As for the show, it's been consistently brilliant and laugh out loud funny throughout. Superb.

The BOTW2 announcement means I can bin the plan to sell my Switch for a bit.

He's done some excellent work down the years Mike. He's a very unassuming chap and about as far away as you can get from acting like a 'Hollywood' star, even though he can more than hold his own with them. His work with Shane Meadows is superb, and he always tends to go for very different roles (compare his work in Dead Man's Shoes to Le Donk for instance) and he also proved himself to be rather deft behind the camera with Tyrannosaur (also mentioned in this thread) which for a first time director was one hell of a debut. The only thing I've seen him in that I didn't like was the movie Backwoods with Gary Oldman. I think they can both try and forget that one. His band Riding the Low aren't too shabby either. **EDIT** also, not sure if you're a Stones fan Mike, but he played Frank Thorogood in a movie called Stoned (about Brian Jones death).

I've mentioned this one earlier in the thread, but if anyone hasn't seen it it's absolutely worth checking out for David Thewlis. His performance as the nihilistic, intellectual conspiracy theorist Johnny is incredible. A very worthy addition to this thread.

It has my favourite scene in a movie ever and Paddy Considines performance is something to behold. Every look, every movement, every word is perfection. In fact apart from David Thewlis in Naked I think it's also my favourite performance in a British movie. Basically it's brilliant.

Still no change there.

One of the greatest games of all time. I'll be picking up the ps4 remake rather than the Switch version though.

Had this for a while (massive 2000ad fan) and I love it. Touch of the Pertubator which is always a good thing.
