Thought he was a brilliant actor, but such bad luck with his health in recent years. He was immense in Tombstone

Shite

Rumours are that Bethesda are about to shadow drop this remaster. Could be any day in the next couple of weeks. I love the original, I'll wait until I see something of the remaster before thinking of getting it.

The Oblivion remaster is real: Doubters in shambles as developer Virtuos accidentally leaves the door open to trailer screenshots and assets | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see.

Properly enjoyed last nights games, abit hit and miss but it was good to get on the scoresheet and actually do some half decent midfield play at points 🤣 GG's!

I don't think it's expensive really, I think if you compare this to the Steam deck which is a great machine you are getting something rather comparable for the price. The power under the hood is similar and I think the 256gb variant is similar in price to this device albeit you are paying more but getting the dock included. They appear to have taken on board the issues with the first console and improved them. My wife was really interested in this straight off the bat because of the Mario Kart game which my kids are at the age to start appreciating, I do not think this will do as well as the original Switch, it does not feel like it brings much new to the table other than a more refined device. It feel's just like an upgrade rather than a new machine. The game share I liked, it means I could play Mario Kart on the Switch 2 and my daughter join us on the OLED swith 1 which could be good. The camera and the screen sharing looked really bad. The power isn't there to stream 4 other players devices while you are gaming and you could clearly see them lagging. Apparently in the interviews after they acknowledged this and have just accepted it which to me is poor. If it does not work just don't do it at all and they showed off some great 3rd party games that would never have been possible on the current switch with cyberpunk, Hitman, new 007 game and the bloodborne esque game they showed off at the end of the trailer. I do have issues though - I think the first game / app they showed off sums up Nintendo at the moment though and it is why I have fallen out of love with the company as such in recent years. A game / app that showcases how to use the device but you have to pay for it? I mean what??!! Wheras playstation release a little Astro bot game free of charge. Then there are all these Switch 2 variants of games that you have to pay extra for, I think it was the Zelda game where you are paying extra to have the maps on your phone? Also game chat, welcome to what 2006? I will pick one up but it will likely be a Christmas purchase for the household after we have moved and that is in part because my wife is offering to buy it as a joint household gift! 🙂

Looks good but expensive and the games are expensive and I fucking hate Nintendo as a company anyway but yeah here's the new one 🤪

Absolute legend! I remember him coming to my village to film The Saint back in the 1990's. Even popped into my corner shop too! I wasn't familiar with him at the time but everyone around the place was going wild at such a massive figure being in our neighbourhood 🤣

Back full force with running not going into detail why I gave it up bur sure does feel good to be back out there. Prep fo4 the conditions as today I didn't and almost took a nap on the pavement. Over 100km ran this month. It's gotten to the point I'm collecting digital trophies on strava so it's.just not ps trophies.

I've got about 40+ hours on this so far. I'm digging it. Love the Japan setting. I still feel Ghost of Tsushima is better, but this is fun.

They would be pretty dumb not to release on all platforms at the same time particularly with their new mantra of playing their games on whatever device you like...

Remake or remaster...I hear it's a bit of both. Leakers say it may drop next Tuesday but we'll see...

A pretty comprehensive review

It looks like only Matty can do it as the Realm owner so dropped him a message to post a join link. Never! It’s nice to be able to crossplay with some mods but Bedrock has a looooong way to go to be on the level of java. Also you have to buy the addons for Bedrock (the server host does, not all of us) rather just download them. Plus Bedrock is annoying in some respects though I accept this might just be because I’m so used to Java.

Yeah it was a great craic mate! You hit some absolute bangers...only shots from 25 yards plus from now on! 🤣

Gutted! What an actor he was. Couldn't agree more! Insanely good and made that film one of the best modern westerns we've ever had. Rewatching Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. Easily can see why this time round had to wipe a tear from the eyes when Tom Cruise is thanking him for everything. ❤️ P.S. Check out Mindhunters if you can. 1993 film, a few twists and a packed actor list given the time period.

I'm really excited for it - mainly for way more durability in the controls and for a new Mario Kart game coming out, that has up to 24 racers at once. Price wise, its probably more of an issue across general society as games prices haven't gone way overboard like many other things in life have. I'm thankful for it, because I've been able to own more games, but at the same time if they go £10-15 per game, I can understand why to a degree. Nintendo's capacity to keep their own games exclusive has really made sure they can control this market still as there is still a lotta love for these unique games. Steamdecks and RoGs are a nice alternative but its all about how these games feel way more unique to the user than anything else. Perfect for a family really. I'd love to hook up two decks when they're out and getting them on the TVs in my outbuilding.

Beat league leaders Sheffield United this afternoon which I didn’t see coming!

Not to mention the fact that they will clearly release an Oled version further down the line as an new improved version when there's nothing stopping them from doing that now. Capitalism at it's finest, profits over people, don't you just love it when they rinse us for every penny 🙂 I also see that pre-orders have been delayed in the US due to tariffs 🫠

New game from FromSoftware and somewhat a spiritual successor to Bloodborne. For some reason it is a Switch 2 exclusive which is utterly insane seeing that virtually all their money is made from other consoles and PC including the massive success of Elden Ring.

The developers are literally based down the road from where I live but I'm just not a fan of their games. It's great to see them try something new outside of their safe Sniper Elite series but they just can't seem to shake off their reputation for making games that are just somewhat decent but nothing overly special or original. I don't have Game Pass so I wont try it and I wouldn't want to pay anything more than £13 for something like this. May have a look in the future but it seems to be just another ok game from them.

Console only crossplay is coming with Season 3. That's a great move IMO.

Out today in early access. Been in development for a few years and has come a long way. Some of the most impressive animations I have seen

This is super impressive work ! Keep it up man, great stuff 🙂

Kind of a pointless month for me, I have the plat for Robocop (great game that I think you should all give a go) and Digimon I have been dipping in and out of ^_^

I'm currently playing through this and I'm enjoying it. If you like AC games then you'll like this one. It's absolutely beautiful as well.

Released in early access the other day

I think he was saying there's no noticeable difference or improvement upgrading from 10 to 11.

Good afternoon you beautiful people, I don't know when but at some point recently addons (or mods basically) were added to the store so they can be added to realms. There's whole modpacks on there but to start with, Matt and I decided on a few choice vanilla+ mods. The mods included are - Tinkers Construct (a mod that adds many different materials for tools, upgrades and modifiers to tools) - Storage drawers (these are errr drawers the store stuff - some alternate storage, each draw stores one item but shows the item and single drawers can store a LOT - storage can be increased too) - Botany pots (pots to grow stuff in, simplifies crop growing and with hopper pots, they will auto-harvest crops too) - A structure addon that adds buildings to explore out in the world - A creature addon that adds some new creatures (and variants) to find in different parts of the world. This should work seamlessly for anyone that can connect from whatever device. For me, the realm showed up automatically for me as I've connected before to the old one. So hopefully people can get on but any problems and we can sort out an invite link.

Mirror's Edge - mad that this is a 2008 game!

Fantastic effort @slamminbones. I really do envy your workrate to get over 100km done in a month. You must feel way better than previous months too!

Must admit I always enjoy clubs even with some of the rubbish evenings we get, we generally have a good laugh and chat about shit. No other game really offers the same experience as we don't really have a game where we are all on the same team competing against everyone or everything else! Anyway stats have been updated, sorry for the last few weeks being delayed!

Would you mind sorting me a link Greboth? I was thinking of booting this up again with my daughter and it might be nice to play on the FG one rather than have a seperate one running if that's ok?

This game is coming out April 10th on all systems (plus PS+ and Game Pass) and is shaping up to be very good indeed. Already posting some huge review scores. 8 years in the making also

Not sure I want to talk about the obliteration of Blackburn Rovers right now. The most toxic environment we've ever had, worse than when we went down to League 1, 5-6 years ago. Ironically, I've spoken to a guy at the club who works in there, and confirms they are just sapping all the energy out of the place. Every bit of spare funds is being sent back to India - and there doesn't seem to be any sight that they want to actively sell the club. Its hard these days, football. Its a sinking hole that is super expensive, so for us to survive next season we desperately need to find someone that wants to buy us or I seriously worry for the history of everything at the club.

My brain power is probably nowhere near any good anymore for these games but it really was my favourite Bethesda game. I may dig out my Oblivion tutorial playthrough book I got at 20 odd years ago for it.

Will be dabbling on it but will still be shite though.

I feel like I've completely outgrown Nintendo and they seem to be blurring into the likes of Sony and Microsoft with scummy tactics. Indie and AA titles are very expensive on their machine and with physical copies soon to house only partial install data, you have to wonder why they even bother. Soon to be paying £70 for a game that's useless without an online connection and 30gb download. Their exclusive range also does nothing for me now - I can see why Nintendo-only gamers may be wowed at some titles but even BOTW just felt like a bloated open world game with some infuriating mechanics and limited gameplay. I did enjoy some of it especially at the start but having played a zillion of these titles, it wasn't anything new or unique. Even for younger gamers, the amount of BS and the price here is just exhausting and they could easily broaden their horizons by a monumental margin with things like the Steam Deck. Switch 2 will basically have all the modern nonsense that plagues gaming but with a heavily restricted and overly-expensive catalogue.

😅

Looks good, though I'd get very bored of that little roll he does...give me double jump instead please 🤪

@GazzaGarratt is this not political?

Patch 1.3 has dropped this evening, it's massive so I'll just leave a link below. Lots of tweaks, re-balancing and fixes, including to A Life...I hope I get a few more frames too : ) https://www.stalker2.com/en/news/patch-1-3

Giving this thread a nudge as it is going to be release in May. I have looked at some of the recent footage and though it looks a bit janky it is looking like it could be great fun. There are 3 zones, 1 which is kind of starter friendly, 1 which is then PvE and bigger in scope and then an end game one which then include's the PvP element. The discussion around the PvP area is that because it is a whole bunch of servers all meshed together you could potentially have up to 900 players in this larger end game area at any one time and it appears to take some influence from Battlefield and Planetside games. Definately one I will be giving a try I think.

I've been loving it. I'm also nearly at the end of the game now (on Stalker difficulty) and once done I'm going back and doing the whole game again on Veteran. The story, if you know the lore, is bang on imo, so far at least. I just had an emotional conversation with Strider, which was excellent 😥 I lied to him.

Quite enjoying this demo. Although I will admit that I had filled in half of the river crossings on the third map with sand and graded them all before realising bridges were a thing

Been loving my time with STALKER 2, it's exactly what I wanted coming from the base stalker games. Just had a full play through of Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat to refresh my memory on events before starting certain quests in Stalker 2.
