    Another thing that has me worried is the series seems to be drifting away from Science Fiction and heading more towards fantasy. Agree with Lee about it being in first person too - whilst it is immersive, the mechanics aren't solid enough especially in regards to the combat. I think the more traditional 3rd person is way better and would be more suitable here. Resident Evil 7 was a great experience but it felt like I was playing a first person mod of a RE game and it looks the same here. Visuals do look fantastic though.

    Looks like they made a mistake and the game is back to £49.99 which is still a lot. The £65 version now contains RE7 which everybody practically has who would buy Village so it's a bit of a silly package. I'll either grab it on an external site where I can get at least 20% off or just wait for a sale. I love Resident Evil but I dunno if I can justify paying full whack.

    There is also a demo available on the PS5 now. Game is £64.99 on Steam which is fucking ridiculous though. Not paying next gen prices for a PC game.

    The comparisons really do put things into perspective and the real eye-opener is how much the individual developers exaggerated, mislead or outright lied right the way up to release in regards to certain features. There is also enough content for a part 2! Crowbcat's videos are amazing because he doesn't say anything - it's all raw material gathered from the developers and the community whether visual or verbal. Everything is then laid out to be scrutinised leaving no stone untouched.

    What I've noticed in recent years that the previous COD to the current one always has a huge spike in popularity come post-Christmas - more than likely due to people getting fed up with the new one lacking content. People went back to BO4 when MW failed to deliver any worthwhile new MP content and now a lot of Cold War players have gone back to Modern Warfare because it's a complete game now. I bet in 12 months time people will be returning to Cold War over the latest COD😅

    I just wish they'd support it properly. I don't play Warzone but every COD MP is pretty much dead in the water come Christmas these days and now developers instead of bolstering that portion of the game and trying to win people back or keep people on board, they (particularly Treyarch) just give up and focus on the BR or seemingly the next title. Free maps was actually one of the worst things to come out of this now because there is no set content timeline or anything consistent to what we got with the paid map pack content. Not only are we getting less maps and material than ever at launch, the staggered release of new stuff and lack of information is causing huge harm. At least with paid map packs the devs were obliged to support the game and we knew what to expect. Core MP is more worthless than COD Mobile now which is tragic.

    I'm actually surprised they're bothering with the traditional COD multiplayer these days. Warzone seems to be the developer priority, it brings in the most money and creating/supporting the latest COD game seems to be a burden for all. The money they make from unit sales they could probably claw back through selling cosmetic crap in a couple of months without needing to spend a penny on development or upkeep. If they're gonna persist with the core multiplayer then I wish they'd do it properly.

    It’s also destroying the experience for average/casual players but Activision don’t really give a shit about those - it’s all about the sweaty tryhards spending money in-game, creators with their codes and simply giving the game exposure through gameplay garnered against the very foundation and metrics ironically in place. None of this is also considering the artificial factors such as ping manipulation based on performance. This is what happens when you design your game around money first rather than quality.

    One of the most anticipated YouTube videos finally released with nearly 500,000 views in 4 hours. This is an exceptional breakdown of Cyberpunk and the one video CDPR were truly fearing but gamers were wanting. 40 minutes long but a fantastic watch and lots of unseen footage and critique. A lot of work has gone into this so enjoy!

    Activision have now started blocking data apps used to expose cheaters in Warzone and Multiplayer in a shameful bid to protect their SBMM framework. These apps use the API and can showcase lobby data such as k/d's which can quickly identify if a content creator or streamer has been cheating the system. Before Christmas many of the big names were caught and admitted guilt in regards to the multiplayer aspect but now even Warzone is being significantly impacted by this behaviour from a wealth of big names. There also seems to be people actively policing the system so when someone gets a nice clip, these users quickly scrutinise the lobby quality rather than the clip itself and even then, questions are further asked about input cheats being used. What an absolute dire situation Call of Duty is in from a gameplay and social standpoint. Connection-based matchmaking + lobby balancing = good times. SBMM + gameplay manipulation and cheaters = dead game. The fact Activision are only interested in protecting themselves rather than the community wishes says it all.

    If Treyarch started doing this, it would be called TWAT😎

    Cyberpunk 2077 staff knew how bad the bugs were before launch, report confirms | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM No surprise here: CD Projekt employees reject the idea that they didn't know about Cyberpunk's issues before release.

    Fulham also had barely any notice to play and went in completely unprepared. Spurs would probably be top if it wasn't for silly results like these with crucial dropped points especially at home.

    Griffin has a good take

    The ironic thing is once they address the bugs, people will see how truly barren and basic the rest of the game is. Aside from the visuals, the gameplay and general mechanics could easily pass as a pre-2010 title. The AI needs a total overhaul and the law enforcement element needs to be implemented properly in its most basic sense - something even GTA 3 managed 20 years ago. If anything, it's just made people appreciate how well GTA does things from an immersion standpoint. I honestly cannot believe how amateur and embarrassing some things are in Cyberpunk where it's even been upstaged by the likes of Watch Dogs, Saints Row and the Deus Ex reboots. I can see Cyberpunk having some things fixed (mostly visual bugs) but I can't it drastically improving to the level some people expect because the whole thing was marketed it in the most exaggerated and pretentious way. They didn't even mention the fact on why the game went from an RPG into an 'action adventure' 6 hours before release or how they deliberately tried to cover up the quality of the old gen versions after misleading the community and holding reviewers to ransom. I also fail to believe that testing didn't show many bugs because many, including cutscene ones appear for everyone - many of which were early on in the game. This was a typical apology video - say a generic sorry, skirt over the big issues and then provide something woolly as a means of resolution.

    This actually looks amazing - modders even upstaging the developers! They’ll probably fix the game before CDPR do.. Just an incredible job

    David Guetta delivers CDPR's official apology video Hate these kinda things where they still lie or don't acknowledge the more serious converns. Roadmap looks almost as threadbare as the game - the amount of work in the coming year that has to be done is insane and even then I don't think the game will be all that great. Detracting away from the bugs will just showcase other core problems that can't be addressed with a simple patch or update.
