Long before Tubthumping there was this banger from Leeds : )
 
 
 

I hear there's going to be some kind of update on the single player before the end of the month.  That's all I really want to know about now and the only thing likely to tempt me into an October purchase. 

You can't play for more than 30 minutes without the framerate taking a nosedive on consoles. The solution? Restart your game 🤣 There is absolutely no way in hell that Gearbox didn't know this was an issue before release. Unless they didn't play test their own game.

If you do please keep me updated, I want to buy it but have Fifa and Battlefield as purchases soon so I can probably afford another biggish game at a push so will take a bit longer seeing what reviews are like on things before picking one (or maybe pick up a new retro title).

Personally, I love it! My only complaint is the runbacks before bosses, like in the first HK. And there are one or two areas I really dont like.
I enjoy the difficulty, but for the average player, it can be off-putting. BUT mods are available to simplify the experience (with Nexus Mod)
Otherwise, it's rich in detail and content, and the movements are much more fluid and satisfying compared to the first HK
 
For those who loved the first HK, this is a very good sequel. And for $20 ?? Thanks, Team Cherry!
 
A little fun fact about the game: I learned that one of the game's bosses (Seth) was designed by a young fan with cancer (sadly since deceased) who was able to meet Team Cherry. The boss has the same first name and is the subject of an important quest to complete the game.

This looks much better and I think it's free to all owners of Dying Light 2 premium. I don't think I'll be paying £50 though so I will wait for a sale. The original was iconic but I never got round to the second one as they made some foolish mistakes and it took them 2-3 years to fix them to a degree. Even then, it didn't look like it was anywhere near as good as the original which has aged like fine wine and I still regard that as having one of the best atmospheres in gaming. It's an incredible deal if you can play this for free though! 

Loved the first game but the second i swerved as it changed what was good about the original, with floaty parkour and they also nerfed night-time. This looks like a return to form.
 
 

Now added to Steam. It's free, so its getting a lot of people playing. Good game, not bad for a Tarkov rip off to be fair and they've dialled back the pay to win elements, which is nice.
 
 

As i did both the first and second game only seems right I have to get this one.
Haven't even seen any clips or read up on this one.

Compared to what though? Does my shotgun shoot in waves? does my pistol turn into a grenade? Do I have to listen to Villains talk like drunk white frat boys attempting to sound like hip hop artists? 
 
BL1 had a solid balance IMO of gimmicky weapons, and dialogue that was funny. 
 
IDK man, these games are clearly not for me, I'm going to go yell at kids on my lawn

I still prefer 1, but 2 wasn't bad. Tiny Tina ruined it for me. That and the constant need to have weapons do things other than shoot straight was just way to much. 
 
 

Randy Pitchfork making a complete tit of himself as usual. He stated to expect performance issues and when people start complaining having bought the game about the woeful problems that were far worse than he remotely suggested, he takes it out on the customers. There's people reportedly getting under 60fps on 5090's.

A closer look at two of the larger maps on launch - Firestorm and Mirak Valley.

Yep, first two were excellent and had a certain charm to them, I enjoyed them a lot.
 
If I want a Borderlands experience I can always go back to them, 2 still holds up really well. 

Its on GamePass but not sure I'll play it, I never finished the original, but kudos to them for selling it at a reasonable price : )

They'll always be Cheatski to me, a nothing club until the Russian gangster came along to launder his dirty money 🤪

Very wise. In fact I saw that BF2042 was going for as little as £5 quite recently.

After last year's debacle, I am tempted to grab this. Looks like they've made some key improvements
 
Also a much-improved matchday engine
 

Do like me, buy 3 years after release, I'm having fun on bf5 and there are a lot of people ! 😁
 
The beta didn't convince me. I have high hopes for the mod portal and modding (I don't know much about it), but I'll be keeping a close eye on its release.

Games have literally doubled in price in the last 10 years and i'm being a lot more careful where I spend my money these days. I'll be hanging back and see how BF6 plays out before I consider it.
 
But yes I agree, Battlefield used to serve a particular niche that they seem to be turning their backs on. It looks like a decent upgrade on COD but its not Battlefield any more. Such is life 🙃

I didn't even bother picking up Borderlands 3 when it was £2.99 so I doubt I'll pick this up. Apparently it's plagued with performance issues and invisible walls that completely restrict the playing space. I'm sure the story is better than the last game but that isn't much of a feat really. The first two were great games but this is something I can't really be bothered with now. 

Good old Channel 5 Chelsea with LeBoeuf, Kevin Hitchcock, Michael Duberry and Graham Le Saux. That was their standard until the dirty money came in and they bought success. Sadly just like City, nothing will happen with this.
