  5. Incredible games. Had Generals on PC and played the hell out of Retaliation on the PS1. Did what @slamminbones did and used to link two PS1s together with @Findmartin so we could eventually ally and try and beat the two AI against us. The missions were so well thought out and its seems crazy to think back they had ideas of two discs where you essentially picked a side depending on which disc you put in. If any game out there of old deserves a brand new game in their franchise, its this one.

  7. It looks like Sony as well as a Tencent subsidiary have bought shares in From Software. 14% and 16% each. Also, Netease has bought Quantic Dream for an undisclosed amount. Who will be next? I'm still shocked Sony hasn't tried to buy Square Enix yet. Tencent, Sony Collectively Acquire 30 Percent Of Elden Ring Developer From Software WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM The Kadokawa Corporation is still by far the largest shareholder, though. Detroit: Become Human Dev Quantic Dream Acquired By NetEase WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM NetEase first invested in the studio three years ago.

    Yeah, yeah, i'm back 😅 Didn't miss much then 😭 As I've got an absolute shit ton to catch up on, the only thing I've done tonight is delete some extra botty posts, delete the push notifications for them in the discord 'new post' channel and I've changed a few parts when logging in. One is Captcha, which is the security bot - we had it working behind the scenes but now its one where people will need to interact with the security application (essentially we now have the latest one available to us). Also changed the security question slightly too. I'm hoping we have a better 24 hours incoming....🤞

  10. Setting looks interesting from the artwork but let's face facts, it'll be another re-skin, set in a needlessly gigantic world where the story is spread thin and the map is bloated with mind-numbing side quests consisting of outpost liberating with x-ray vision whilst being able to climb anything and having no fall damage blady blah. I'm actually really sick and tired of this franchise now - it's basically an single player RPG with a live-service basis and what you see in the first hour is what you get for the other 60. Ubisoft will never make a masterpiece, nor will they ever make a great game and it's brands like this that's making the company stagnate into mediocrity despite having a huge budget and technology available at hand.

    Retro Revists

    As there is nothing much worth playing for me right now, I've spent the last couple of weeks revisiting (and finishing) some classics which has been great fun:- Max Payne (2001) Max Payne 2 (2003) Alan Wake (2010) All these are Remedy titles who are a popular developer of the past two decades and have really unique titles that have really stood the test of time. Next on my list is Condemned: Criminal Origins (2006) which was title from the early Xbox 360 days which I've picked up on PC. Didn't get around to playing it back in the day but it's made by the same team that did FEAR so I'm definitely looking forward to it despite its age. Anyone got any old games on the go that they are working through right now or recently? I'm enjoying doing this than forcing myself to play some generic new release.

    Saints Row

    My biggest disappointment with this is that it feels like something from 2006. My biggest complaint so far, aside from all the damn bugs and glitches, is when enemies just spawn directly in front of you at any given time!!! I cannot believe that the people at Volition still think this kind of game system is good. For example, There's a line of missions where you have to kill a bunch of drug runners around a food truck, steal said truck and transport it back to your business venture. I get that if enemies are patrolling around and see me, fine. I'm busted and have to deal with it. But every 2 seconds, an enemy vans spawn right in front of you! And not just one, at least three minimum! It's ridiculous, and even when you deal with that group, several more spawn along the way. There's a lot that I'm enjoying about the game, but calling this a reboot or remake of the franchise was a total lie. No wonder they're giving credit to discord and reddit mods. They have to deal with all the complaints about this fucking game.

    I so want a Steam Deck. I wonder how many sexual favours I'll need to perform in order to get one? Man, the first time playing Halo on xbox was one of those sweet gaming memories of mine. The music, look, and feel of the game was so awesome at the time. I really dug CoD 2 but man, I hated 3.

    It's finally happened although you now still need a supposedly less intrusive Meta account. Too bad they put the devices up by £100 last month - people were in limbo because they wanted to get one before the increase but didn't want to be left in the dark as to when Facebook would finally remove the login. As per scummy practice as usual, they leave people in the dark on the cheap and then bait people as the price rockets Finally, the Quest 2 no longer requires a Facebook login | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM A simple email address will suffice.

  38. New campaign trailer on PS5. This looks incredible. In the past COD has been slated for having poor graphics but that is absolutely not the case now. I'm looking forward to playing the campaign as the MW2019 campaign is great.

  39. Ok, I finished the game. I didn't get all the upgrades for the village, but once I did unlock the majority of the upgrades for rituals, crown unlocks, and had a decent flow going with food production and all, I focused solely on blitzing the rest of the game. I will say that at the moment, there is a bug in the last area where you encounter Summoners. If you kill them while they are summoning, it'll spawn an invisible enemy that you can't kill. I ran into that issue twice while trying to finish the last area and had to leave the dungeon and restart. All in all, It was an enjoyable experience. It's not as hardcore as most other rouge-likes such as Hades, and I did find the town building aspect of it to be very upfront at the start of the game, which made it difficult to get into it. The combat is very basic but may turn off hardcore players looking for a meatier experience. My advice, I'd wait for a sale or PSN freebie if you haven't picked this up yet or are curious about it. If you really like town building games, grab it. The combat isn't that big of a deterrent and those sections are really easy to blow through.

  42. I love it. I should be reading last thing at night but I've been on this a lot. Personally, for shooters I'll be sticking to PC, although I should try it with a keyboard and mouse at some point. I've been working though Disco Elysium, South Park stick of truth and started No Mans Sky last night....but I've about 17 games installed at the moment and I've played a little bit of Hotwheels Unleashed, Prey, the Ascent, CloudPunk, GTA 4, Katana Zero and Divinity Original Sin. I haven't tried DayZ and not sure how well it is optimised but I'll check and let you know🙂 I hear they've ramped up production so I'm sure yours will be available im no time.

  44. they require regular maintenance, like you could get away for 5 years without a service on your boiler, you do that with a heat pump and it needs replacing. @Plumbers Crack a heat network is designed with a hot water buffer vessel so the idea is you need to keep that at 70 degrees (it can be lower and then a hiu would top up the difference where required for hot water ising electricity) and there is a diversity calculation to determine the amount of heat energy you need to put into keeping the buffer vessel at that temperature depending on the number of apartments / spaces that require heating. The radiators are then sized on the anticipated flow and return temperature's so if it is designed from the off based on utilising ground source it wouldnt be an issue (though admittedly it isnt always the case). We haven't done it yet but 5th gen heat networks do utilise ground source heat pumps. It’s clever stuff when done correctly but I don't think a lot of them are being done based on ground source (you wont get a buffer vessel to stay at 70 with just ground source, it would need an additional heat source such as biomass boilers or hydrogen which most modern boilers that we install are capable of with only minor changes internally). But that goes back to my original comment that I am not sure the industry is set on one single direction currently.

  45. We had heat pumps at one of my last buildings, the place didn't even have a gas meter, it was quite fascinating tbh. They're a lot more potent than people think, although I'm not entirely sold on the reliability yet.
