    Killing Floor 2 (which came free with PS Plus this month) is actually pretty decent. It's essentially COD Zombies mode but 6 player and has some RPG-lite elements. Worth having a few goes off anyway imho. Download is about 15GB and it's good fun in a group. Played it in a team of 3 for a few hours and had a blast :)

    You're not gonna get months worth of play out of it. I think lvl25 is the Cap and I was level 8 after playing maybe 7 rounds. I was "Maining" the Demolotions guy

    Looks like the Platnium headset has dropped in price to £99 (I paid £133 for mine at launch) for anyone with excess money who prefers to stay wireless

    One of the speakers blew and it's back with Sony for a repair/replace atm. Would be using it otherwise. These things happen though

    So started a new character on Borderlands 2 on my new PS Pro. Mechromancer, seems pretty good although I don't know what to spec into. Hopefully Nocal sees this otherwise I'm going have to trawl through youtube :)

    When I loaded BL 2 up first on my new PS Pro none of my characters had transferred over. There I was level 0 with My First Gun being the only mission available. Thought I had to transfer data from the old PS which was beyond my capabilities. Fortunately the cloud saves came to my rescue. BL 2 and Battlefield 1 transferred over in seconds, Destiny took three frigging hours, thank you digital DLC.

    Finally, getting the right 4K HDR TV for my new PS Pro is turning into a truly painful process.

    I'm getting a grand off work so that expands the budget a bit. Not too pushed on price but I don't want to spend 8k on some monstrosity that's going to take up the whole room. I think about 50" is probably as big as I want it to be. *insert hilarious meme here*


    Was chatting with Cal over the weekend and he's researching too. At this point I'm just going to roll the dice. As with subtlety, patience is not an attribute I'm blessed with.

    It's so utterly confusing. One poster suggested the Samsung KS8000 which is what I had decided to get but then realised the KS8000 here is really the KS7000, which is one I'd heard had real bad latency in HDR. Now I don't know if the ks7000 is the one I should get or avoid.

    Z nation started out as a poor man's walking dead, now it's significantly better than the walking dead.

    Could never get into Walking Dead. Watched the first series and apart from one or two good scenes it didn't do it for me. Strange as normally I lap up anything zombie related. You know for future survival techniques.

    Gimli,

    If it was me buying a 4K TV right now then I would go with this one: http://www.currys.ie/Product/lg-49uh850v-smart-3d-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-49-led-tv/336492/409.5?awc=5297_1498041401_316c287b0e6dc66fd9bb59795bca0a64&utm_source=Skimlinks&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Affiliate

    Price ain't bad and feedback so far seems good enough.

    Wish manufacturers would hurry up with the smaller than 40" 4K screens. No room for 2 40"'s

    The map in borderlands 2 is beyond useless, it's more like one of those puzzle mazes that you find in papers.
