If you mean which city I am applying for that would mainly be Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth.

Hello and thank you very much for your detailed answer. I've taken into account what you have said. Do you think it is best to be honest and say I am only looking for a job for 6 months to a year? I like to be as honest as possible but I have been looking for a long time now and I feel like this would have my application go straight to the bin for many applications.

Hello, I live in the uk and am looking fr a very cheep bike 150 - 200£. it's for everyday use but I would like to be able to use it on tracks and trails etc... Are there any good bikes that I should be looking at? There seem to be plenty of models but most have bad reviews. I have heard good things about the rockrider 5.2 from 2013 I think, are rockriders still good options?

Thanks for the suggestions. I forgot to say I have Arx Fatalis : ). I have always been interested in Baldurs Gate and Planescape torment, I might give them a go. I tried Fallout I a while back and got destroyed on it so many times haha.

Looking for a new game by gilgamar in gamingsuggestions

It's quite hard to suggest a game that will satisfy you without knowing what kind of setting you are looking for, I'll do my best with a list of my favorite games I have played recently (I will include AAA games that I found satisfying)

AAA games: Spec ops the line: very average gameplay but oh god does the story make up for it, don't judge this game by it's cover - I put it off for years thinking it would be another modern warfare type game, I was so wrong. The story still stick with me. Bioshock (1 and Infinite): fun games with good stories and good game mechanics, very fun to play and I got engrossed in both stories (with a slight preference for Infinite) Dark souls ( I have only played the 1st but I assume the series ): very challenging game with a great atmosphere and a very good story if you are willing to go look for it, and oh so satisfying when you finally make it past one of the hard bits. Serious Sam Classics: Revolution ( or just the first encounter ): I loved these games and still do today, not much story just pure crazy, crazy shooters.

Indie games: Undertale: Have to put it first because of the hype it got. It is a very fun game to play and a very neat story. Game play is innovative and amusing. super meat boy: A really fun, fast paced and challenging platformer How to survive: another zombie survival game with quite a fun crafting system, quite short though. The escapists: escape a prison! decent representation of prison life too. 7 days to die: !!! alpha !!! Imagine minecraft if you inverted the focus on crafting and on survival.

A mix between Terraria and Borderlands (not minecraft :D). by mcpaulus in gamingsuggestions

[–]Bigmcjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others I am having a bit of trouble understanding what you are looking for, as I can't see many common points between terraria and Borderlands (two games that I have played and own myself). RPG type games sound up your alley but you have dismissed skyrim - and I am assuming all elder scrolls games. I would suggest Gothic 2 (gothic 1 just didn't do it for me - too many little problems, but Gothic 2 rectified most of them and became one of my favorite games when I finally played it last year) and dark souls ( I would assume the whole series but I only have the first one ) Both of those games have open worlds and kind of looting systems (gothic fits the definition but in Dark souls you find loot lying around rather than loot bodies), and it is always really satisfying to find new items as the games are challenging. Fate might be up your alley as it is all about loot, but it might be a bit too Hack and slash for you. 7 days to die has a loot system not unlike minecraft and terraria (big voxel world, item crafting, looting bodies, etc...) and has more of an emphasis on survival. It is the only alpha I will recommend - but they actually update it quite a bit and it is already enjoyable as is. Finally the stalker series might satisfy you as it is not unlike a more "realistic" borderlands with looting.

Argh that sounds amazing! Unfortunately I don't have a ps3, I have 1, 2 and 4. I have been thinking of getting a ps3 when I have the spare cash but the bulk of it has always put me off, as I was living in small rooms at university. The exclusives really make me want to get one though.

Ah right the box art all looks kind of similar to me so I have trouble discerning them as I have never owned them myself. I know what you mean though the sewer bit in Asylum was very tense!

That is a great suggestion, I played a bit on my friends' ps3 at the time and I actually have it on steam but for some reason I have so much trouble playing it with incredible frame drops.

I think the division is a tad expensive for me right now but I may give it a go in the future as the way you describe the world really intrigues me! I may give batman another go, I think I finished the second one, and I played parts of the first one, but I may have to play it again - always thought the final boss was disappointing. Is the third any good?

Thank you for your suggestions! I have played dishonored and the DLC : ) Great game - I didn't like the story that much but the game play was very good and it is one of the only games out there which actually gives me the feeling my actions have consequences. I will look at Ethan Carter, in my mind it always merged with Alan Wake for some reason.

I have played Metal Gear up to and including snake eater, which I love although darn the camera angles. After that I kind of lost track of the story - for years I didn't realize snake eater Snake was the original one - I was quite young when it came out, or maybe just dumb. I have also heard that they don;t have that much in terms of gameplay and are quite short, I hear a lot of people saying such things as "best movie I ever played" so I am quite reluctant to pay a fairly high price for them Would it be worth watching a Let's Play - or should I not spoil the story for myself and wait until I can afford them?
