@Ravenger

I just bought Premium Bowling. Another possible candiate for game nights!

Anyone got a referral for the Wallace and Gromit game?

Bung us a referral

 

[Mr.Cookie]

I don't know. The last time this happened, I had to buy a gift card then use that to buy the game I wanted. It's annoying having to do it that way. But I will give it a go now and see what happens. Will report back shortly!!

Might be even cheaper if @Ravenger has a referral

 

[Ravenger]

Are on sale games subject to referals?

Anyway, just played this and it's a very good simulation of bowling, except there's absolutely no haptic feedback so it just feels sort of 'dead', especially of course as you don't have the weight of a real ball when you throw.

If I were making the game I'd have put a haptic jolt when picking up and throwing the ball and a haptic rumble while it rolls, and different levels of haptic feedback for striking the pins, depending on how many you got. It'd make the game feel more alive and real.

Also it has a very annoying American commentator. I'd have preferred a video display like you get in modern bowling alleys instead.

 

[Ravenger]

I would say though that it feels like a better simulation than ForeVR bowling, which is arcadey and has balls with different abilities.

so what you fancy playing tonight ?

@ShiWarrior @Ravenger

I got a gift card and I bought the game that way. So it's currently installing.

We can play whatever. But, we could give this bowling game a go and see what it's like?

 

[ShiWarrior]

I won't be there tonight, but if you guys try it and want to keep going, I'll try and remember to get the referral from you.

 

[ShiWarrior]

when your on next. we can play

 

[ShiWarrior]

im ready when you are

 

[Mr.Cookie]

I won't be there tonight, but if you guys try it and want to keep going, I'll try and remember to get the referral from you.

I don't think the referral works with the discounted price, it still just cost 6.99 despite shi's referral saying activated

 

[melmac]

I will be on in a few minutes, sorry, got delayed!!

 

[melmac]

thanks guys, had a good laugh tonight. Merry Xmas to you all.

 

[Mr.Cookie]

Cheers guys Merry Christmas

 

[ShiWarrior]

for £7 its ok, certainly not worth a lot more, gets boring quickly, but a good laugh, and a bit of fun

merry Christmas all

[Ravenger]
