    Ok, I've played a few hours and here's my quick review. Some nice game mechanics. The open world London, while a bit small, is fucking amazing. Looks great. Unfortunately it's all let down by the fact they've decided to add the cringey humour. It doesn't work. England has been taken over by a techno fascist dictatorship and I've got this prick in my ear who sounds like Richard Ayoade making me want to punch his lights out with the shitty cringeworthy commentary and humour. Why couldn't they have made this a serious game like the subject matter demands? The story is serious but it's delivered like a Carry On film for hipsters. They've gone for silly meets edgy and it just doesn't work or fit the premise. But London is soooooo fucking good I'll be playing it just for that.

    They're gonna have to try harder than that to get me😎

    Now you've said that, there is no turning back. All you need to know, apart from the server details, is not to go out alone after dark 😁

    First things first, these guys made Fallout New Vegas, most people's favourite, so they know how to make a Fallout game. Bethesda treated them quite badly and made them release a game that was buggy as hell upon release. But it was a great game so people often forget that. The main reason this comes close but no cigar is because it's a lot smaller and more restricted. It's not really an open world rpg in the same way. There's more to come from Obsidian though, now they're being properly backed by Microsoft. Plus Bethesda are there too now so good things to come I hope. I'd still recommend Fallout 4 and even 76 over this, it's a great game just too narrow in scope. And the enemy AI is dumb as fuck.

    Played an hour of it last night as I had it pre-loaded. Runs really well for me, looks great. Cars are a bit feisty. Can't wait to explore my city🤗 Hear this morning some folk with 3090s couldn't get it to run well, maybe that's a ray tracing issue as I've got over 80fps on ultra settings with it.

    In general, with regards release date being pushed back, I'm in favour of that 100% if it means a polished bug free experience. I don't think it's a big deal for consumers other than of course the holiday bookers. Personally, I'm more unhappy about the reports of working practices. Months of crunch? 100 hour weeks? Nopety nope nope. If you're on the cusp of discovering the cure for cancer maybe, but not for a video game. The whole industry is a cesspit of exploitation and abuse, not on the scale of kids working in factories, but its dirty and it takes away my enjoyment of the hobby I use to distract me from the general bullshit of our existence. On a separate note, I hope Watch Dogs Legions take on politics doesn't make me cringe so much I rage and uninstall 😎

    I played a few hours of it when it came out. It's a pretty chill game, mostly doing deliveries in the neon city. Cheers, I'll check the video out now👍

    My Uncle Charlie is a cynical man And his wife’s a touch sceptical too They’ve got one of those stickers in the back of their van It says “We’ve seen the prices at the zoo” Well today I knocked upon their door and said that I was passing And Charlie launched a scathing attack When I asked him what I’d done, he said “You stupid bastard, we live in a cul-de-sac”

    Could have a field day with the band who produced the following samples: There is nothing better in life than writing on the soles of your slipper with a biro. A man with a mullet went mad with a malette in Millets.

    Ha ha even the name of the band cracks me up, but in this genre are we really so surprised at these kinds of lyrics? No of course not😅

    Think I saw you manage a 2:06 last I checked 😎
  13. phil bottle
    I tried a few laps yesterday, 2:08 was my best so far I think. I can probably go faster but doing consistent fast laps? Not a chance 😅

    Resurrecting this thread from its year long hibernation. After a little taste of the game on Xbox gamepass before it ran out I waited a year for the Steam release and i also bought the dlc pass too. Green Man Haming were selling the game for £21 and I got the dlc pass from Humble Bundle for £18. Nice. It's been optimised even more since I last played from what I can tell. I'm running it with everything on Ultra at 1440p and I'm getting 120 fps. I played a bit over the weekend and I'll try and get as much done as I can before Watch Dogs releases. And then get through as much of that as possible before Cyberpunk releases. Lucky I'm not picking up a PS5 yet as Demon Souls, AC Valhalla, Gran Turismo and more are releasing. Nothing but games as far as the eye can see until the new year and I've not even mentioned COD. I've gone soooooo off topic. Outer Worlds is good, but no Fallout beater, yet. If they get a bigger budget next time round I'd say it needs a better and bigger game world, a graphics upgrade, less annoying side companions, more sophisticated and nuanced character choices and development and AI.

    Seems a whole host of streamers were given a couple of hours on the game last night. Watched a bit of Jack Frags on it and it seems pretty decent and ran well on his PC.

    If Spurs could remember how to finish off games at home we'd be dangerous. The away form is keeping us honest, good result last night. 2 points from the top and a lot of teams fighting and still in the mix!

    Ha ha well I don't suppose everyone has it anyway, so I say choose any N300😉

    I just found out they are picking the car for us at Goodwood. Nissan Skyline GTR🙃

    Nordschleife? You're being cryptic there😁 but if you're suggesting a track, we stick to the official online weekly daily races set out by Gran Turismo.

    Funnily enough it does seem likes it's going to be another weird season like when Leicester won it. The absence of fans is playing a part for sure, plus the lack of consistency from the 'big' clubs means you're right, in the 80s anyone could win the league🤗

    Out this week, I get a nice 20% discount on Ubisoft PC games and I'm likely to pick this up. Anyone else taking the plunge?

    This week it's Gr.3 Mount Panorama Gr.4 Dragon Tail N300 Goodwood I think Dragon Tail was quite recent, so maybe Mount Panorama first and Goodwood second. Panorama is my achilles heel of a track, but it's a really fun race and at Gr.3 will be fast as well.

    I'll be setting up the calendar event for Gran Turismo later. If there's any requests about date or time, let me know!
