Russian Warship can go fuck itself!

I do want to say though that Racing games seem to have the best intro's by and large. I don't play them much, but they typically knock it out of the park

I played the absolute shit out of this game when I had it on 3DO This isn't the intro, but I think the first half might be the best score of any game I have ever played. Every time I hear it I mentally see the ruined city, the rain, and feel the loneliness that was the starting area of ODST Also

Was a good Ridge Racer number 4, but I don't remember the music, just the cool system for picking a manufacturer etc My most memorable start to a game is the DayZ mod for Arma 2. My first spawn was on a beach at twilight, very eerie and atmospheric.

Strange, I've played at 1440p max settings on my ancient 1080ti and not blurry for me. A lot of the reviews seem to be Russians angry they've been removed from the game. Fuck em 🙂

Some music in the 'Listening Now To' thread by @Sennex, got me immediately thinking, what are some of our favourite all time opening intro video sequences in a video game. I'll start! For some reason, I remember back in the day when I got hold of a copy of Ridge Racer 4, I was excited more than normal. For an arcade game, back then it felt like it was hitting a new era, and the opening sequence with the graphics back then I recall blew my mind. I loved the song and everything about it. Enjoy and looking forward to seeing what else others can find and share!

You've just made me think of an awesome thread. I loved the opening sequence to R4, the song and video back then was legendary!

Not sure whats going on with my library, I had all the stalker games at one point, but currently its only showing Clear Skies

This 'enhanced' edition is an absolute disgrace. Alarm bells were ringing going into the game seeing a 'mostly negative' rating and boy oh boy did they hit the mark. Graphics are blurry as hell maxed out. Several things have been omitted and others have been censored. No reason to play this over even the vanilla original. What a disappointment but this is where the industry is at these days.

Was just gonna say the same thing ^^^^ Installing Shadow of Chernobyl right now

Out now : ) Just checked Steam and all three games have appeared next to the originals in my library.

Another huge PR blow as Paul Tassi is seen as a huge Bungie supporter and optimist of games like this It’s Just Over For ‘Marathon’ WWW.FORBES.COM Marathon has always been teetered on the edge of future failure, but now that seems set in stone after recent events.

Final Fantasy 9

This game came out in early access a year ago, it's been plodding along and the next update is said to be pretty good. I'll be jumping back on when it drops, hoping the lag has been sorted.

It's going to he released on PS5 as well as Xbox and PC. It's also cross platform 🙂 Release date is hard to say, this year for sure... but I'm getting rumours it's coming sooner than intended...

I did not try it but a friend of mine did, he had glowing things to say about it. That said I don't know if some of the current hype may partly down to people's frustrations with Fifa (I will continue to call it so). To me this is a better version of Rush, Pro clubs is great because of the numbers we can include but when you only have 3 or 4 (5 in this instance) sometimes you want something simpler and this could give us that. I have every intention of picking this up, you can't buy many games at launch for only £20 and let's be honest we don't need a lot of game time on it to get our money's worth! I feel it could be the game to scratch the itch when we sometimes jump on, on a Sunday evening and things like that and we can keep our Monday's (or pick a new day) for our larger groups.

I've been playing this and it's fantastic. Miles better than Doom Eternal and on par with Doom 2016. The combat is satisfyingly meaty.

Agree on waiting for it to come down. I don't think it will take long though. Notoriously, Doom games are quick to complete due its fact paced nature of guts and glory so smaller campaign games usually come down in price in the first 2 months.

There was a beta weekend nearly 2 weeks ago for console. I was away so couldn't try it out. Did anyone else try it at all? It definitely looks like one of those games you could play for an hour just to pass the time. Similar to Rocket League feeling. Its not a game you'd play all night, but I think thats a good thing its not targeted to be anything that it isn't.

Lots of turnover at Bungie in recent years. Lots of very good trusted people have left. I think they've got caught up in the world of social media too much now and the scales have tipped so much that they didn't realise they were just like most other companies under the hood but they wanted to portray they weren't as such. No one is ever that squeaky clean in this game, we've all seen it too much over and over. That being said, Marathon just won't have that pull that Destiny or Halo will, you can already feel that looking at the gameplay. Id hate it to be another Concord but something tells me it has a chance. Separately though, this won't make me stop going back to Destiny. Not played that in nearly 2 years I feel, but that has a world that has great content still and they are making changes that actually supports many of the casual players we all are now. Buying expansions is better in that game than many others where we all buy battlepasses.

Love that Phil. I've been watching a ton of clips and it really nails the genre well, and seems like loads of fun too. I didn't realise it was not out still yet. When's the release date supposed to be? Is it just PC still for the meantime?

Yeah, I'm picking this up. I think the ATB way to play always has been my love but with the twist of some combo buttons to press alongside that, it's great to hear a game is trying something completely fresh and new- and nailing it.
