Been playing this last few days and it's a great game! A light RPG adventure game set in Norway with all the busywork cut out. It's basically a watered down Skyrim with hints of Hertic and made by just one person. Combat is a bit janky but great fun and there are some really good enemies done well like spiders. Kinda feels like an linear open world game with a classic 90's feel. Great soundtrack and only a tenner too!

wow it looks beautiful too with nice atmosphere, how's the story, is it good or at least average?

I'm really hoping this one is good. The fact they have Peter Weller reprising his role is a good sign. Let's hope the game lives up to the hype. Fingers crossed.

Thanks, man. Thanks, man and yeah, I understand. It’s good to know what others are into. The last single player game I completed was The 3D All Stars version of Mario 64 for Switch, I beat the game and also obtained 100% completion in that game last month

It does look really nice, excellent screenies as always James.

At E3, being given unrestricted access to this game it was probably one of my most looking forward to games ever. But that was in 2018, who knows if it's even the same game as before. I don't care personally about fighting on deck, as I was looking to this like a world of warships/ black flag.

No I haven't tbh! I'm looking to get some of the Mickey Mouse games in chronological order at some point. I really need to get back into Kingdom Hearts too.

i saw a video which showed some fan making the witcher 1 intro in vr and it had this song, so of course i had to listen to it again being a blind guardian fan

I really liked Mickey Mania, did you ever play that one Lee? The first level was Steamboat Willie

Gameplay trailer revealed yesterday Looking at it, I couldn't get a huge feel for how it will look and play. We don't know how the gunplay will 100% feel until we see a more detailed gameplay and UI/HUD. The story parts is looking good so far, and the voiceover for Robocop is quality. Still probably a bit to go until we can see if we're looking forward to a must-buy me thinks.

Seem's there are a few of us with a fondness for the megadrive in here so thought I would get some chat going (I'm hopefully going to pick one up later, I think the retro chats with you guy's has given me a kick up the arse to finally replace my broken one 😄 ) I'm sat watching some gameplay of Mickey Mouse's castle of illusion, this was the only game I owned in another language (Japanese for some reason) so for the most part I didn't have an idea what was going on but it was a platformer so easy enough to play ^_^ On the video I'm watching currently it looks like it holds up fairly well as far as visuals and the such goes. So any other fond megadrive memories?

So yeah basically this guy has built a guitar that plays itself with midi programs and self programmed to perform. Very facisinating machinery with lot's of wires and moving parts, kinda cool to be honest.

This looks superb. Everyone is saying it based on Assassin's Creed Black Flag and can honestly say the ship elements in the game made it so good. It does look near carbon copy of those bits barring some PvP combat when onboarding another ship. There's something very satisfying preparing your cannons and unleashing the fury into another ship's stern. Already looks a definite must have.

It’s pretty minimalistic but quite intriguing. You always have a handful of quests to work through and everything seems to flow nicely. You arrive at a mysterious island so you’re as much in the dark as your character but it’s great to see things unfold without it being too plot or quest heavy. I’m 12 hours in and it’s about a 13-15 hour experience which is just about right especially if people are burnt out with open world games of late.

Didn't know that, that is interesting! Tbh, its probably time past that allows us to be so nice and forthcoming of both consoles but I do really think they both complimented each other. Whilst at the time they hated each other in the market and were allowed to make jibes at each other (looking at the initial Sega's adverts 😅), now I just look back and would advise anyone to get both because switching between the two at times is such a joy to have the option. Unique games developed either side, alongside the game controllers, makes it worthwhile.

from what i saw it is pretty much the same game with the one they showed all those years ago, so why is it still not out yet all these years later? also it looks very uninspired, boring, bland and monetized to hell and back and the cluttered ui, my god... it seems that anyone who wants to get their pirate fix will either have to play sea of thieves or ac4/rogue

Thanks, man.

Thanks, man and I play a variety of games to be honest. I mainly play single player but I do play multiplayer sometimes too. Dead By Daylight is one multiplayer game I like playing and speaking of that, my PlayStation Plus subscription expired over a month ago so I’m going to have to get that back at some point.

Nice introduction to the forums Brett, welcome. I'm sure you will enjoy it here. Anything in particular you play game wise? I know you mentioned genres, but we have a good amount of folk who party up on certain nights and it's good banter. Cod, destiny, fifa, gran turismo and lot's more. Again it's great to see you make an intro post so we can get to know you better. Hope you enjoy it here, It's a good place to be. The best gaming forum on the interwebs. 😎

How does it relate to the film? I.e. is the book better, does the film miss much out? I plan to read through The Scion of Shannara this coming week ^_^ Big fan of the series and just realised to day I have the druid of shannara signed by the author! I'm quite the fan of sci-fi and fantasy material

I finally started reading Dune. Just finished the first book and started reading Dune Messiah.

I'm only here for Desert Strike as SNES>MegaDiv 🤗 I like both machines😘

Music is such a beautiful thing, I love it when people share what they listen to. A great way to remind myself there's other music out there 🙂

Having a bit of a live music night....

Oh damn I forgot about Desert and Jungle Strike, even the 3rd one Urban Strike. I think because I never owned them, but I played and swapped them with a mate and they were sooooo good! Aladdin was superb as well. Back to the future was impossible, could barely get past the 2nd level. Remember staying at a friends and we struggled with it for the best part of a night.

@IRaMPaGe Classic film, I highly recommend it. Most of the actors are the musicians of the time. The main guy, Leroy Horsemouth was/is a famous drummer, for example. Classic tunes and translation into English 🙂

Yeah that tune has fantastic horns and brass and the dub is real. Think King Tubby has a hand in that tune as it's from African Brothers meet King Tubby in dub. Lee Scratch is legendary as well, but your right him and King Tubby were the first 2 that I know of. Almost like the Godfathers of dub. It just hits a different way, I love it when the bass gets a bit wobbly as well. I also respect the fact that the dub pays homage to the original and doesn't destroy the roots. Dub nights sound superb, sadly nothing like that way up here in the Highlands of Scotland. A bit off topic, but Rusko the producer an early pioneer in dubstep is more modern and electronic in the 2000's. This tune here absolutely slaps. It's more modern dub, but I think it has some elements of it with modern sounds and equipment. See what you make of it Phil.

I can imagine there is some real naff stuff out there, sometimes a terrible production can make things worse. Listened to a few tracks from that Culture Shock you posted, will need to listen to it all the way through. It sounds really good. Probably top tier of it's sub genre I'm thinking. Has a proper sound to it and you can hear the Ska and the punk in it. Always interesting to learn more as your knowledge is vast and educated on such matters. 😊

Very nice, third world are deffo roots and culture 🙂

Yeah man, some ska punk is poorly done but this record is a classic

Some of the sub genres I'm not 100% on the terms, but I can usually tell the age of something. There is also some UK Ska that's kinda punkish as well? Maybe like The Specials and Madness etc. It has the undertones of the roots, but a different flavour. That's the wonder of music there is so much to explore! 😎 I do like the roots sounding stuff and the dub styles.

That's great to hear Dave, love that! They have such an awesome chilled sound, from New Zealand I do believe. Been enjoying them for quite a few years Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Me and the missus bought this after hearing it as background music in a restaurant on holiday in Wales...happy days 🙂

13 years later and it's still the best dubstep remix I ever heard. 💣💥 Stephen Marleys original reggae tune mixed. "Raggastep" is the term.

As Peter Tosh said "do not criticise it" 😁

Buju is a talented artist no doubt. I do kind of chuckle though when I'm reminded of him as he starting out singing songs about killing batty men before going 'conscious'. Good song 👊

One of my all time favourite reggae tracks. @phil bottle lemme know what you think man. Big up Buju on this one. 👌

Something closer to all you rock lovers. Mallory Know became one of my favourite bands for a while some years ago. Some top songs and great lyrics.
