Seems decent enough, like a cross between Hitman and Uncharted. I wouldn't pay 60/70 quid for it, it's less than 20 hours long, but in a sale in a year or two I might be tempted.

Out next year. If it's anything like the last two expansions then we are in for a real treat. Bit late in the day but should be a fantastic conclusion before The Witcher 4 is out. 

Yeah i can't see myself going back. If they ever do a Fallout 3, New Vegas remaster, or Elder Scrolls 6 (won't hold my breath) I'll just buy the games themselves.

Crysis 3 (and 2 for that matter) are on another level, compared to the first one... at least as far as I'm concerned, so I might give the remaster a go.
 
Tempest Rising is kind of a modern Red Alert but no, not personally tried it and probably won't, so still available.
 
I'll send you the Steam code for Shin Megami Tensei V via WhatsApp, as FG messaging seems to be broken (FYI @GazzaGarratt) and won't let me enter any text ?!
 

Smart move from Microsoft to fool consumers once more. Even though the pass is $7 cheaper now, it's still $7 more expensive than it was several months prior. Removing Call of Duty will see them getting paid massively at retail once again, so any freeloaders who choose not to renew the pass even at the cheaper rate, Microsoft will still rake the money in from unit sales of the game which will comfortably exceed any lost revenue at the original pass increase rate. 
 
Arguably $23 a month without a flagship title like Call of Duty is an outrageous rip-off in itself. The only consolation is that the games on the pass, particularly the indie games may actually get to make a better share of income without COD absorbing it all. Some indie titles were probably lucky to walk away with 30 cents an install on products that would cost £20 at retail. 

I feel like the PS5 has never really got into its stride, its just a slightly faster PS4 as far as I'm concerned...with the PS5 Pro being more in line of what it should have been...and with talk that to really be able to enjoy the next GTA its best to have a Pro, which is currently around £700 🙈
and they're already talking about PS6 being on the horizon 🙃

I suspect ill pick this up at the end of the month.
 
Does anyone know if they fixed the issue with save files?
 
@ChaosGladiator Didn't know you were on PC now, welcome to the brave new world 🫠

Ah, I did wonder how you could play DayZ on console lpl Nice one, I like laptops just afraid of the heat 🫠
I've picked this up now as i have no chill, so I'll be joining too 👊

It might have went better for them if the game was anygood. I got the game pass, tried cod for a month/maybe two. it was garbage so I cancelled the game pass. You can get a lot of the same games on steam cheaper than the cost of game pass so it makes not sense. 

Yup, someone there thought that COD was the best game in the world and everyone wants to play it so from their perspective it made sense.
 
Ultimately they were expecting everyone on the subscription to pay for the game that probably half of the people subbing wanted essentially subsidising those people.
 
Absolute madness, in fact the initial outcry should really have been the wake up call they needed, instead they have persisted for a few months now and they won't suddenly get those subscribers back now. Many of them will feel a little burnt and will be hesitant about committing to the service again.
 
I had the subscription for my handheld and ended up cancelling it and unlikely will pick it up again soon now unless some special games come to the service.

Microsoft Cuts Price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
WWW.IGN.COM Microsoft has dropped the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $29.99 per month to $22.99 per month, while PC Game Pass is being reduced from $16.49 per month to $13.99 per month. Both changes...  
They added COD to Game Pass with BO6 but then had to increase the price to cover lost sales. Seems that they then lost subscribers due to the ridiculous price increase. So now they're lowering the cost and removing COD.
What a complete fuck up by everybody involved 🤣

I love how @TurboR56Mini went straight from "I'm downloading the demo" to "we have a server" lol.
 
I'm downloading it now, be good to fuck about with you cunts again 😄 

Thank you! Actually been playing pc for a few years now but still mainly on the ps5, but bought a pretty decent Asus Rog Strix laptop which set me back a good 2000£ or so. Seems to run anything I want fairly smoothly so far. Hope to see you on the big blue sea soon dude!

Couple tips for anyone starting this or considering starting this.
 
Never stop grinding for resources. Early game it’s not too bad but you do get a taste for how much you will actually need when you build your first ship, mid to late game it gets very, very resource heavy.
 
Always pick up food and potion ingredients. Better food means better bonuses, but needs more ingredients to make so grab it when you see it! Potions ingredients will also be very important as fights will only get harder and you’ll need to heal more often if you can’t master the dodging and parrying.
 
Upgrade your gear and your ships gear. I kept losing fights and sea battles over and over and over, upgrading my gear as high as I could for how far I had progressed definetly helped out a ton. Specially for sea battles against multiple ships. Once I upgraded the hull, cannons and my boarding crew it was like going from playing hardcore instadeath mode to playing the game normally so keep an eye on it!
 
Before you start exchanging your insignias and letters of favour for reputation with the different factions, make sure you check the different provisioners!! They will all offer different schematics for upgrades, building and so on and early on silver will not be easy to get until you find the different factions own holdouts where they actually buy things off you. 
So don’t waste your silver early, look at the different provisioners, see what they offer at what reputation level and then decide wich factions to turn your insignias into. (Also note that upon switching game sessions the reputation does not carry over, but you can go back to the session where you have said reputation, buy what you need and then switch back and have what you bought still available.)

It’s a mix of utmost frustration and fun for me, still get well pissed off every time I die to something silly, but I keep coming back anyways 😂 
 
The fact that questprogression carries over between sessions is nice, same with your gear and whatever you have on you or in your ship transfers between them too. I do wish the progress you’ve made with the different factions also carried over as that can be quite a grind to level up, but can always go back to your own world and get what you need from them and then join a buddy’s game and you’ll have it there too.
 
Also the fact that to get a crafting recipe for armor or weapons, if someone else has the item you can borrow it for 2 seconds and you’ll unlock it as a craftable is nice, on that note, if anyone gets the rapier of a thousand cuts, let me know. I need that little bastard 😂 And if anyone needs pieces from the filibuster (I have almost the full set), conquistador or privateer let me know. Think I have some odd pieces of others too as well as the cutlass and two different clubs that I can’t remember the name of

I have an FG server if anyone wants in. The game is fun for sure!! They have hit over 200k concurrent at this point and over a million sold.

Looks to be doing very well right now, getting decent reviews considering it's early access 
 
 

I've just decided not to renew my PS subscription as I don't play that much anymore.
 
I've snagged some old "not good enough for Windows 11" PCs from where I work part time and I'm now running a Minecraft server for me and my 6 year old grandson .
It's great but there are times when I feel like changing my name from "Grandad?"  😂😂😂
 
The PC he's using is the one you guys got me in 2019 (that day was epic!) so that's been repurposed as well, just needed a wifi card 😊

After a shaky start it's doing quite well for itself. I didn't know there were mods already!
