    Left 4 Dead 3 essentially, just a different name. Looks very good. It'll be all about the shooting mechanics for me. With this and that WH40k game, Dark Tides, due out too, 2021 will be a good year for coop shooters.

    The financial need to release an unready product is a fact of life for a while now. Nothing new here. Fallout New Vegas, a classic game, buggy as fuck on release. Skyrim, classic game, buggy as fuck on release, one of which almost ruined the game for me. Battlefield 4. I saw more of what was under the map than on the map the first month I played it. It's nothing new. And the guys doing the work, well we hear about working practices in the industry. Nothing changes other than the weaker games like Mass Effect Andromeda sinking from trace....only for the whole series to be rebooted a few years later when the dust has settled. Random thoughts ^

    In recent Tuesdays I've wondered why I'm driving seconds slower on tracks I'm normally fast on. Today I tried the Gr.2 race and couldn't work out why I was so slow. I watched a video replay of one of the top ten fast times and noticed the guy accelerating between gears much faster than me and reaching 6th gear by the end if the long straight. I can't get into sixth. Seems R2 on my controller has been fucked and I didn't realise. Tried another controller I don't use much, as it drifts when not plugged in (bluetooth issue with certain controllers), so much better. I had just assumed it was me being too careful. Anyway, no more controllers just the wheel from now on.

    FFS😅 Fuck knows why I typed 100🙄 I'd walk 27 miles to you @Greboth😍

    For the new Gran Turismo Sport owners, note that if you drive 500 miles a day, you will be given a free car every day. Doing the challenges too will provide free cars and also the funds to buy cars. If there's people without Gr.2 we can do the Gr.3 race, as I know Lee loves those Tokyo walls😎

    From this week's upcoming daily races we can choose between either: Gr. 3 Tokyo Expressway East Inner 4 laps hard tyres Or Gr.2 Fuji 13 laps medium tyres fuel 4x tyres 5x As we're already doing Gr.3 around Willow Springs, I'd go for Fuji.

    I'm starting to fall in love with this game, just exploring out of mission is a blast. I seem to have escaped any bugs other than a weird rag doll moment from someone I bravely shot in the back while they were in a fight with the NCPD. I've had some upgrades, plus better guns and the shooting is feeling better. I hope they've sorted the PS4 version with last night's update.

    Funny thing is, after 11 games, we've scored more goals than in any other season since the 1960s. I'm no Jose lover, as you know very well, and I'd be the first to say the football is shit to watch, as that would back up my fears. But it isn't the case. He has shown a few people he's not a spent force or one trick pony, and they haven't the wit to get their heads around it. On Thursday on BT they spent the whole time trying to talk Winks and Deli out of the club. It's boring as fuck substandard shite and I turn the sound off when I watch the game, which makes it a lot more pleasant experience 😁

    From what I just read, it has nothing to do with the original game, other than using the USP.
  12. phil bottle
    The original on the N64 was very underrated. It had multiplayer with bots. I had to get an expansion pack to play it. Goldeneye on steroids.

    I shall inhabit your skin proudly like a cockney hannibal lecter, but magic mushrooms instead of fava beans cos I dont know what fava beans are.

    PS5 Pro

    I'd laugh if PS5 Pro is just them enabling the other nvme slot😎

    I don't think any game would be able to manage that level of fantasy 😍
  18. phil bottle
    I'm up for a change. Played this so long now I don't feel the same level of challenge that used to give me the thrills. Make me scared again😁

    I hear Vader is coming back in new Star Wars stories too.

    Fortunately I wasn't trying to drive particularly fast, just testing fuel, tyres and efficacy of short shifting....and ensuring I didnt drive off track....so plenty more to come🤗 I think I was getting 1:14 in hards in the Mazda and Aston Martin but that's not what I'm driving. The Atenza is a fast car though.
  22. phil bottle
    No, I do it via the game now.

    I've managed 1:13 laps on super softs in one particular car that I'm not sharing the identity of. 🙂 Did some prep I can share though. I've tested a variety of cars at 15 laps with at least one lap in Hard tyres. Some cars will do 12 or 13 laps before needing fuel, some will do only 8 or 9. Super softs are useless after 5 or 6 laps. Pit stop for tyres and fuel is around 10 seconds added to lap time. Be very careful if you start with a soft tyre, as after switching to hard if you don't moderate your lines you'll make friends with the sand.

    Just to add, while I've only played a few hours, I like the game very much. I think it's very immersive and it goes at a fairly swift pace. Almost too quick. I'm playing on Hard difficulty so I'm save gaming fairly frequently too. I'm still focused on shooting but...using other means to my ends as well. Killing an android npc by hacking him and making him commit suicide is not something I ever thought I'd be doing in a game. For example. Really thought they'd manage 4k on the PS4 Pro, but as DF remind us, it was a similar story with Witcher 3 to begin with. Whether they will continue to work on fixing the PS4 version is another matter...

    The shooting feels good up until the moment you pull the trigger. Once you do it feels very arcadey. Hopefully it improves with better guns and perks...but I agree feels like the last deus ex and unsatisfying right now. I'm mostly looting everything in sight before each stage of each mission. There's plenty of ammo that way. Not had a single bug encounter so far, touching wood as I write that. Permission is granted to take that out of context. Looks great, Nvidia changed it's mind and decided on a mix of high and ultra after all. Getting 60 to 80 fps, mostly in the 60s.
