This chap is on a time machine from a different dimension 😍

It's June and if I'm not convinced you aren't a bot or spammer very quickly, the delightful twist may not be what one expects 😉

A classic for SNES (I really have good memories)

These guys are amazing I have to say. With my concentration skills I'd be brown bread very very quickly on a normal motorbike, never mind something like TT.

Anyone remember this guy? His assists and through balls are killer.

Here is the onboard video of the fastest lap ever on a bike you could pretty much ride out of a showroom.

Maybe so, but its free i'd be stupid not to give it a go. If the mission was decent, it could pull me in to play the others. Based on previous PvE missions, if they are like that then its a no from me. Mechanics and just shooting is needed. The upgrading heroes would've been absolutely awesome to grind and enjoy the chase to get them all upgraded.

Music and a good book, the simple pleasures of life 🙂

That would be an empty gesture I feel and even the prospect of story missions is a far cry from what was extensively promised and in development for 4 years. They probably had about 25 hours of live events, trailers and interviews outlining the PvE portion alone which was going to be a fully-fledged campaign with full character development and integrated lore past and present. Also the fact they sold this illusion before Overwatch 2 released knowing it was cancelled is the ultimate kick in the teeth. With only a skeleton crew left at Blizzard and all the big names leaving, I'm not holding out any hope or going to be fooled by freebies. The amount they make on skins as it is, future updates should be entirely free anyway.

Its took me a while to get round to this but all I can say is I'm just sad to see the direction go away from deep PvE stuff in the game. I don't think everything they promised is exactly how some of the reporters are putting it but it doesn't matter much to me becaus its the sentiment behind them creating detailed PvE that I was really looking for in this game. With the change to 5v5 making the game feel way more sweaty competitive than before, I can see why we haven't had many people on this game lately. I know some still play it ( @Stretch616 @LordBaguette @Noct for instance) and I do miss playing our stacked games together as one co-ordinated push as a team is still an awesome feeling - however, the game just felt like it needed detailed PvE stuff to give it enough variety so you felt like you could go on it multiple nights. Tom said last night he wouldn't be surprised if the first story missions end up free after the backlash and I think that would make sense too. Usually these early hearings of cost and what is being delivered this early in the gaming news is a test from publishers to work out how it is being received and what they can do to bring people in to the franchise again.

Probably posted this song on here before. Never fails to make me smile 🙂

I've only just purchased Modern Warfare, but I've never brought a skin on any game (even if they give you an advantage). I don't really see the point, especially when you can unlock some by playing the Campaign.

I have kinda mixed feelings with it being a side scroller - on the one hand, at least it's not a bloated open world online service but on the other, it's really lacking ambition especially as most of their games in this franchise are 3D and were once quite regarded. Feels like a step back but it could also be something a bit different than the usual Ubi tripe. This game will probably be out before Skull and Bones too🤣

I hope they release the Master Collection Volume 2 at some stage - MGS4 really needs a multiplatform release.

I got bored with the last one. Plus, if that deterioration mechanic is in this one, well that's just bullshit 🙈

Yeah, Nintendo have a very positive relationship with the media and community in which their games seem to be held to a different standard - I've seen countless family-friendly colourful games be awarded some huge plaudits, when in fact they would be considered basic and just decent under any other developer and on any other system. I have watched a few video reviews now and it does seem a highly-polished, complete and incredibly stable game (hard to believe this was the normal expectation once in this industry) and also a very good Zelda game. May grab it down the line even though I'm still not entirely sold on some aspects talked-up heavily and the visual style that we had in BOTW. People that review these games especially for the mass media seem to be Nintendo-focused specialists who don't play other multi-platform titles whereas I play a variety of games across the systems so I'm not sure I'm gonna be half as wowed as some of those who just focus exclusively on all things Nintendo.

I take reviews on Nintendo games with a pinch of salt, I find that a lot of the main reviewers review Nintendo stuff whilst wearing Nintendo tinted glasses ^_^ That said I have the first one to complete yet so I might pick it up in a years time when the price drop comes in, oh wait....
