I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this yet given it's out in a a little over a month. There's some pretty good reviews coming out in the early previews highlighting the world variance and it feels more alive than previous titles. Slightly improved physics and tweaks to game modes with the inclusion of time trial that you can do on circuits that are accessible in free roam. I played FH4 a lot but didn't get on well with FH5 so much - playing it for a week or 2 when it was on game pass. I've decided to buy this one though so hopefully it's good 😄

Pretty much, yeah. Did you ever play the open world NFS games? As it's basically like that. Or GTA if you can't get out of your car. An open world you can cruise around, find stuff, easter eggs, collectibles or things like speed cameras to try and go the fastest through or drift zone challenges to score the most points on a section of road etc. Though to progress the story you need to do actual races but, like NFS or GTA, you need to go to the place on the map to start them. The world is multiplayer too so you'll find other people driving around or you can set up convoys to cruise around with or take photos.

I've just decided not to renew my PS subscription as I don't play that much anymore. I've snagged some old "not good enough for Windows 11" PCs from where I work part time and I'm now running a Minecraft server for me and my 6 year old grandson . It's great but there are times when I feel like changing my name from "Grandad?" 😂😂😂 The PC he's using is the one you guys got me in 2019 (that day was epic!) so that's been repurposed as well, just needed a wifi card 😊

When this comes to PS5, I'll purchase it but not doing any gamepass malarkey for it. Looks decent and I agree that a chill open world area to chill and find stuff at your leisure is a good, different way to essentially create the opening menu UI.

Yeah gamepass has become too expensive - I’m not paying £23 a month for it. Especially when I’m only interested in FH6 and you can get a PC key for £40. It’s coming to PS5 at the end of the year apparently. So maybe a bit more FG interest then - though I didn’t realise that when I bought my PC key else I might have waited - oops 😅

After a shaky start it's doing quite well for itself. I didn't know there were mods already!

Okay, so the mode where you clean out the high rise is fun. Tricky at times, but a lot of fun!

I might grab it this weekend, it is still full price, but I saw that mods were starting to come out, and I am a sucker for an Open World game with modding....

I just finished ASTLIBRA Revision. If you want a hidden gem, check this out. It’s a side-scrolling JRPG and the result of 14 years of work by a solo dev. The combat is fluid, the story is really good, and it has a great runtime. It’s a bit niche, but I loved it, even if my thumb is on the verge of tendonitis.

I tend to agree. De Zerbi is volatile, who knows how long before he has another tantrum...plus he stands up for domestic abusers, just lovely 🙈 Honestly the people at the top of the club are totally clueless. We have ex-Arsenal chief Vinai Venkatesham as our CEO. He's has a commercial background and knows sweet FA about football. Plus he has overseen the worst financial results we've ever had. His time running the Arse corresponds with their worst performing years in the Premiership. And fans thought Levy was bad.

You can also adopt them and dress them up as well... There is a bit of a thing online of people amassing collections of them 😄

I think it's indicative of the state of the gaming market moreso than the sale. There isn't much that is 'new' or 'innovative' and even if there were, the way these storefronts work you just end up looking at the same 100 or so games time and time again. I have tried to scroll through a few times recently and you scroll through and find you are looking at the same old tripe and just give up.

Goes live today at some point, but a lot of reviews started coming out already.

It's out now but apparently only going to be for a limited time until April 1st, which is a shame. I hope they get persuaded to keep it as an option, as I always thought a non bullet sponge version of the game would be a great move....
