  1. Yeah I was referring to this in another thread. Such a shame everything is about money as this was looking awesome.
  2. Looks decent but I'll hold off until there's more to it.
  3. Totally agree. The AAA side of the industry has lost its way in terms of the basics i.e. making fun games. I'm working my way through my games catalogue and rediscovering games I never got around to playing. Loving it. As for the rest of this year, I see me buying Starfield and Stalker 2...if they both release that it is. And first contact will be via gamepass for both of those. I won't be paying for games guranteed to be broken at launch. If they both turn out decent I'll then buy them on Steam. Other than that, the non AAA side of gaming is going from strength to strength. Arma Reforger has already been modded into DayZ for example, by the community, for free. Whereas Activision just shut down a modded version of COD. Says it all really.
  4. Loving the gore, the finishing moves look like they'll be legendary. With a new Killer Instinct on the way too looks good for fighting games.
  5. I remember when it was all about playing great video games. It's not that long ago. Such a shame where it's ended. Kind of hoped gaming going mainstream would be a good thing but this ain't it 👍
  6. The manager merry go round continues at Spurs with Naglesman back in the picture again. I'm steering clear of click bait for the most part so could still be anyone. In a previous post I was a bit rude about Coventry but I'd rather them than Luton, even in they beat us against the run of play in the 87 FA Cup and made Gary Mabbutt look like a plonker, and they may not have a stadium but let's be fair Hackney Marshes would be better than that shit hole in Luton. Shame AFC bottled it, would have been nice to see it go to the wire. I will laugh though if the sovereign wealth fund lose against Milan in the Champions League.
  7. Awesome new ships in the latest patch and it's available to try out for the next week or so.
  8. Can't believe the choice is between Coventry and Luton for promotion to the Prem. Doesn't matter I suppose, neither will last a season. I hear Spurs are looking at a Dutch manager, but the Poch to the west london nobodies story is going to be a dagger in the gut that gets twisted every time we play, particularly if he makes them decent again 😭
  9. Welcome mate, my favourite things about Italy are Errico Malatesta, Elsa Morante and tomatoes 🙂
  10. It will be very interesting to see what they come up with. It's not like there's not much to parody about the modern world. I'm just wanting to see if they finally make player movement and combat feel decent.
  11. Sunderland beating Luton has lifted my day after another predictable Spurs result.
  12. The only thing they can't compete with the SteamDeck is with regards track pads. They're essential for quite a few games and work remarkably well. Yeah you can attach a kb & m but then it's no longer a hand held 🙃
  13. Yep, I believe it's going to be on GamePass but I'll be buying the Steam version for certain.
  14. I got bored with the last one. Plus, if that deterioration mechanic is in this one, well that's just bullshit 🙈
  15. I think it's mainly on PC where its having issues. PC ports in general have been pretty bad in recent times.
  16. Oh yeah, the map is huge, so there are vehicles. It's been a while so I don't know about bikes. Here's the latest update, I imagine I'll reinstall and give it another whirl.
  17. Yeah, I pretty much feel Bohemia use DayZ as a testing ground for Arma. The success of the DayZ mod was an accident. At the time in 2012 it was massive but also very buggy and players asked for a standalone version of the game where the bugs could be dealt with properly. Bohemia never had an interest in a zombie survival game but it sure has been a massive earner for them. There's a small dedicated team working on it but it blows my mind that only now is it starting to be as good as the mod was. But only on modded servers. The vanilla game focuses too much on survival and not enough on the mechanics that made it such a fun and thrilling experience. There was an excellent hero and bandit system in the old mod that I would love to see come back. Bicycles were promised, and they've basically put it on the back burner as the driving system in general needs a lot of work still. The guy who modded bikes in did it very cleverly, it's far from perfect, but it does the job.
  18. Working bicycles, the holy grail, I thought this day would never come, nearly 10 years of promises, finally delivered. 🖤😍😁🫡🥳
  19. The thing is, when Microsoft took over Bethesda there was an expectation that Microsoft's quality control would be of help to a publisher that often releases games buggy at launch. But no. I read Phil's response yesterday and it was just a load of fluff. I'm now expecting Starfield to have issues at launch too...
  20. I would say, take away the bugs, shoddy AI and drama, this is an average game. On PC it's not bad, it's just not particularly good either. Not a game to pay full price for sure...but I'm continuing with it still to see where it goes. On console I would avoid, the shooting with a controller is broken imo.
  21. A slightly older trailer, but a bit longer.
  22. With the company relocating out of Russia this was put back and I was wondering about it recently. Releases in December and here's a little teaser that came out today.
  23. The most balanced review I've seen is by ganeranx, and pretty much matches my experience. It seems different ppl have different experiences, but yeah I'm glad it's free 😁
  24. I haven't yet reached a point where I'm hating the game. Lucky me has encountered zero bugs. I also put the settings up to Epic following a driver update and its as smooth as can be. Shooting feels good, movement is a tiny bit janky but still feels OK. The enemies in other reviews seem to have poor AI but that's not been the case in single player mode. They spot me just fine. I'm wondering if it just goes bad with co-op enabled. But i will say that enemies are far too weak so far.
