That's a pretty good survival rate there Philly after nearly 200 raids!! Have you mastered the art of sitting silent in a dark corner? Is there another full reset coming or this is now how it stays as a full game?

Its a great collection you have there although my missus would've thrown me out for those cables on show! 😅 Some awesome Mega CD options there that i've never seen or played. Nice man! Hope you enjoy your stay at FG ❤️

Never really got into these Fallout type games. Not sure why. Maybe too much magpie'ing for me me to do which means i'd never get anywhere in the story 😄 Let us know what you think if you guys pick it up.

Nice little watch that. I think its a real hard game to keep playing without it evolving too much. Those mods did look pretty hilarious though. I always watch these and think its ace again...but I know whenever we played it, I never even had anything like the kit he gets in minutes lol

Given I have two kids, I have the following which I have streamlined now as used to have quite a few more over the years. I look out for the cheapest packages where possible. - Netflix (Basic package with 2 screens and ads. £5.99) - Disney Plus (Basic package with ads. £4.99) - Spotify (Family package for all of us £19.99) - Amazon (Prime for quick parcel deliveries which also gives you Prime Video. £8.99) - Sky TV (This is luxury one. We have sports and movies as sports is on 24/7 virtually all the time and Dax will watch some movies with us. Currently £70. This depends on what they do for existing customers, although frustratingly gives new customers for about £30-40. Been with them for 17 years) Its a funny one subscriptions. I really do dislike them, but what I try and do as you can see is play the system for what it is. Ads don't last long and we use them as loo breaks or to get a cuppa. £5 sometimes doesn't even get you a coffee in todays world. If I needed to, we'd drop Sky too if money became the most urgent issue in our house. Playstation I don't class as a sub, even though it is. Always paid the annual basic one to play online. Anywhere between £40-60 once a year. We shouldn't need to, but at least I get my money's worth with this one too.

Dishonored (2012) This game is pure art still and timeless

So Season 1 launched today along with the Battle Royale mode and the game has nosedived into an absolute tacky mess and has gone full-Call of Duty. The user interface is absolutely atrocious and resembles that of MW2 back in 2022 with its TV streaming-style panel menus. It was bad before but now the bloat is horrendous especially with monetisation and locked items. They said the BR mode was standalone yet progression and challenges have been forced into the core BF6 game so it really is nothing more than a shameful bait and switch hook to get people playing that. I want challenges for things like conquest, breakthrough and escalation and not shite attributed to the BR like getting 100 kills within 10 seconds of landing. I played on the new Blackwell Oil Fields map which was an extremely dissatisfying experience. Another very small environment with a terrible layout that is way too open and has absolutely shocking visibility. In BF4 we were getting themed map packs of the highest quality but this is just a shameful offering even for free. This is what the map looks like and it's just so uninspired and hideous. I think this game will ultimately lose a lot of players in the next couple of weeks. The battle pass is a pathetic cash grab and the progression in core and on the pass is just so tedious and boring. The maps are fast becoming stale and even new gimmick modes wont change anything. The battle royale will split the community further and I expect a fair few people will go running back to COD irrespective of how potentially poor that may be also. This isn't Battlefield anymore by gameplay or its design framework - it's another Call of Duty in a slightly different skin. I have zero interest in BO7 but that game does have a strong launch line up and the season one content offering seems solid also.

Subscriptions are unviable for both the consumer and the content publisher in most cases. I have zero and if I see something I want to watch, play or listen to, I will buy it outright if it's worth the money and that way everyone gets paid a fair price. The likes of Spotify have bloated in the music industry so much so, talent is becoming buried and some artists barely get paid £90 for 50,000 plays. Even top artists have reportedly only seen about $1500 after deductions whilst reaching 1m listens to a song. We already know what a shambles Microsoft have made of their Game Pass in killing most of their in-house developers and reducing income to laughable levels, all in the aim of trying to take a slice out of Sony. TV is probably the most attractive form of subscription but that's riddled with bloat between services and content. You can spend more time trying to find something to watch than actually watching. The Xbox subscription will cost $360 for a year next month and if people are also paying $150 for music and another $150-300 on TV and retail subscriptions then it tots up to huge levels of expenditure for consumable products you don't own and wont be able to revisit. I can't support streaming as a concept or the damage it does to the 'small people' aka developers and musicians who don't have much of a choice but to go down this route and see income potential crumbling to laughably low levels. The likes of Microsoft and Spotify will never reveal the income dividends which says it all.

I don't watch enough TV to justify a subscription, so I don't subscribe any more, I used to do Netflix, Amazon, Disney and NowTV. I may do Disney Plus just for a month at some point over the winter just to binge watch the Alien series and possibly Andor. Plus Amazon for the next instalment of Fallout. BBC iPlayer stays as i do pay the licence fee lol. Anyway, I've a mate who pirates everything and he'll download stuff for me if I ask him to, i'm too lazy 🫠 Music-wise I'm probably going to drop Spotify, I get most music from YouTube lately, plus i found out recently the Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invests heavily in military AI and don't really want to support that kind of shit behaviour. Game-wise I'll stick with GamePass until the fee goes up, as I do use it but won't really miss it if I stop.

So I am giving this thread a nudge because spotify are increasing their price again, this is happening a lot with a lot of the streaming services at the moment, regular price increases and I don't think it will be long before we are being asked to pay £20 a month for music streaming. At what point does it begin to become unviable for the average person? I could afford a number of subscriptions however I am at the point now where I am regining them back in because if I enjoy and rely on them too much now then in 10 years time it may be a whole lot more difficult to draw myself back when prices are higher. So how many subscriptions do people have? Do you limit them to games or do you have games, music, multiple tv subscriptions too?

I do agree with this take too, as much as I love that its coming to PS5. Games are in a sorry state of late. Thankfully, BF6 can hopefully bring the waves back again. Back to Halo. Original Co-creator seems to really like the look of it...

Love this game anyone remember it

Guide for beginners

Drops on Thursday and I'll be playing on Steam 😘

Ah legend! Thank you very much!

I miss the DayZ mod, it's the game that convinced me to buy a PC. Still superior to the current game in a lot of ways IMO

It should still be valid, I'll DM you the key

It looks great but again another remake / remaster and honestly I am a bit sick of it ^_^ So many triple A game's these day's are just remakes or remasters and for some reason everyone is happy to keep rebuying the same games and if this is the future of triple A gaming there is really going to be a point where it all comes crashing down. Indie games seem to get things so right these day's it's a wonder that any major studio keep's managing to turn out a profit.

I enjoyed the first game, will pick this up as well at some point but I'm not sure when. Maybe will have to ask the missus for it as a christmas gift or something ^_^

I'm ecstatic btw! It really does look a great upgrade graphics wise. I think only Halo fans on PS5s will make this a hit though. Can't believe the turnaround for Xbox, looks like they want to hit the medium/high end of PC players I guess. If this opens the door for Halo 1 or even Halo 2 multiplayer to eventually come to playstation, then I'm all for it. Some of the best gunplay we've ever had and should feel relatively new given its been so long.

I'll be playing this. I really enjoyed the first game. Although I have watched a review where it said that the humour has been toned down which is a shame.

Ah good old Frankie, the whole reason I have about 3k hours on dayz on the ps5 was watching his vids all the way back when it was just an arma 2 mod. Sadly most of his stuff was scripted back in the day, was still entertaining though

I don't suppose this is still going is it Phil? Be a good game to play on my steamdeck if so ^_^
