Unfortunately they released it in a sorry state and they'll need to do a hotfix to sort whatever is broken. I updated the FG server went it went live and I'll be watching out for the update to fix the broken features.

I've let a friend of mine borrow my PS4 Pro so his partner can play Last of Us, partly due to this show 🙂

The longer it goes on, the better it gets 😅

Yeah, eating McDonald's being associated with an early death isn't a great marketing strategy 😅

I loved it on GameCube, but I gave my Switch to my 6 and 7 year old nephews recently so won't get to enjoy this. Looks like a nice remaster!

Yeah absolutely, the hardcore nature of it is what attracts me, and that's definitely not for everyone. You can go into a raid with nothing but a knife, they are called 'hatchet runs' and can be fun too 😁

Hilarious, I've been doing the New York expansion this week but other than HDR not working properly I've not come across any issue.

In Tarkov, in between missions there are traders and also a flea market to buy and sell weapons etc You also start with an equipment locker to stash your stuff, which you can make bigger by expanding your hideout. But yeah, if you do badly you can lose your gear, and if you keep doing badly you can run out of money. This does cause a phenomenon known as 'gear fear' 😁 But you can also play as an AI character once an hour to go in and scavenge loot for your main character.

Yeah, it is sadly PC only. DMZ is a chill out game for me when compared with Tarkov. Tarkov is more hardcore, tactical and realistic, in theory. There's about 8 maps to choose from. It's similar in that you get dropped in a random location and have to get extracted to leave successfully. You die you lose everything you're carrying, and though you can ensure your gear, its no guarantee you'll get it back. It has RPG elements, you have missions, skills to rank up, a hideout to build among others. It gets my heart pumping like old school DayZ. A pity its only on PC.

OK, yeah it's only me that plays this but it keeps me honest 😅

Great review @Luseth it seems like a game to keep the fans happy. I've avoided the drama around JKR, I don't like being told what to do, and I don't like being judged...but the more I know the less I like, and so for me, its not a game I'll ever play.

That's just me, other folk might enjoy it. I just got Anthem vibes from this game....

CoD used to have a nice variety of maps, and they were all done very well, all very different and all very memorable. Its a long time since I enjoyed the maps in a CoD.

I play tested it, i lasted maybe 30 minutes before uninstalling 👍

I was going to say, the game has nothing to do with JRK, let's keep it on topic, but then I saw it was @J4MES OX4D thread and I'm sure he doesn't mind 🙈😅

Sure, when you're free just put yourself in an FG gameroom and I'll join if I see you

From what I've seen, the game does look very well made. HP was a cultural phenomenon worldwide so its no surprise its selling well. I'm trying not to buy games at full price but it's certainly tempting me.

Jumped on to sort my graphics and controls etc I'm at 1440p with a mix of mostly high and some medium settings. Found a decent server and tested it all out. FPS is over 100 and game runs smoothly. Good to go 👍

Yes, I was fully aware of all that even as I posted 😄 I also use gamepass to decide if I fancy buying a game long term. For example I've held off buying Darktide after playing it via gamepass as it's not up to scratch. When it is, I'll pick it up, although most likely on Steam...but you get my drift.

It's pretty decent right now, just needs more new maps. I get bored quickly with COD these days and find BF2042 a lot more fun.

Let me know @Spacedeck when you're up for a session. I will jump on this evening to reacquaint myself with the game👍
