Even more of Expedition 33
-
Reviews are coming in and the game is out shortly. Seems to be a fairly positive reception. At £70 for the base-game, I think I will wait for a very deep sale. Absolutely Absurd pricing.

Beta access has begun but I think I'll give it a miss. Final product looks pretty shambolic and about 10 years out of date. Nowhere near the standard that was initially portrayed. A real shame because it's a decent price and a good concept but I'm just not as forgiving with these jank-fests these days.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's soundtrack tops Billboard's Classical Album Chart with 18 million streams since launch | PC Gamer

Arsenal game was not quite as entertaining but my god did they miss some chances early on and paid the price. I actually thought they could turn it around and win quite comfortably and they could've achieved that within the first 20 minutes. PSG scoring first and then getting a foothold made things really hard and although Saka missed a good chance to set up a tense finale, it was never a close contest as the game wore on.
Spurs better not balls it up tonight!

I've played about 12 hours so far and I can comfortably say this is one of the best games of the generation so far. The world design is stunning, the story is intriguing, the characters and voice acting is top tier and the writing is fantastic. Even the music is stunningly beautiful. The combat is great fun as it combines what you'd normally see in a JRPG, but with interactive QTE moments enabling you to dodge, parry and counterattack, rather than let the computer and RNG determine it for you. You have to learn enemy move-sets like you would typically in the likes of Sekiro and this can be a challenge in itself along with timing the inputs perfectly within the small window available.
The game is pretty linear at its core but this is good as it cuts out all the open world crap that plagues modern games. There's no filler here - everything flows incredibly well and you are constantly engaged especially with the characters and the remarkable story. To think just 30 people made this using Unreal 5 and it's only just over 50gb is absolutely crazy! Expedition 33 is just so far ahead of what any other AAA developer can churn out now, it is quite frankly embarrassing for the likes of Ubisoft and BioWare. It'll be a huge wake-up call for Final Fantasy too. It's games like this that make actually save the industry. The fact it's only £30-40 when AAA games are to be pushing £75-80 makes this an essential purchase.
I'm also glad the shadow-release of Oblivion Remastered hasn't hampered its success - 2m copies sold in 12 days and it's the fastest selling game of its kind even ahead of Final Fantasy, Persona and Yakuza.

Some more of Expedition 33

I really enjoyed the game last night and it was refreshing to see football played in its purest form outside of this horrendous slow-paced tippy tappy posession-based way we usually see today. PSG did the same last week and it was brutally effective and great to watch.

Those 8 months are to help people save up to pay £100 or whatever it's going to cost 🫠
Still end up being cheaper than the latest Assassin's Creed Deluxe Edition or the new FIFA Ultimate Edition🤣

Again a remaster of the first game? I would like to play this series but only the 1st and the 5th are available on pc, so I am not bothering with them. Why not make a MCC style collection and remaster for all?
Exactly. The 4th is also available for PC but it’s shite and only available on the Windows Store. The Ultimate Edition of the original was also a terrible port. This looks a really pathetically weak effort without the first 3 games. If they then released 4 on Steam then people could access the collection at least. The original will be finished in 10 hours, the MP will be played for a week and then it’ll be gone and forgotten about.

Not releasing it as a trilogy is criminal.

This game is pure art

It'll give them time to release a newer remaster for the PS5 Pro now.
They released the 'Enhanced' version for the PC a couple of months back which has given them bumper new revenues so it wouldn't surprise me if they are withholding GTA6 to have an extra 6 months cashing in on that. It'll also give them a window to flog more Online tripe which people seem to lap up in droves.

You see, this is where I worry Bungie has gone wrong with Marathon.
I blame Bungie for the aesthetic choice but Sony for the concept. Since Sony acquired Bungie, they've literally obliterated the Destiny brand which is was a needless travesty in itself and now they are trying to chase the live service genre despite extreme saturation and with so much competition already out there. If a game doesn't appeal visually (like Concord) then it's gonna be hard to sell the concept and Arc Riders just seems to offer something that appeals to everyone, whereas Marathon is more of an acquired taste and that could be the difference between success and DOA.
There's actually been so many games that have been and gone without anyone noticing in the last 3 years and the majority have failed by just having an unappealing art style.

Wont release until at least May 2026
I expect a lot of other developer/publishers will be breathing a sigh of relief and we should see a flurry of new confirmed release dates for Q4 in the coming weeks. I'm not too disappointed but this is a big blow for the majority of gamers and rather than the game coming out in around 4 months, we have at least another year.

Series S console alone is going up by £50 and standard games will also be up to £74.99 in the UK. US prices have risen further with $100 on the Series S and $130 for the Series X. Absolutely disgusting price increases on mid-gen machines and £75/$80 is unjustifiable.
Expedition 33 for instance sold 1m copies in 48 hours at a price of between £33-£37 and will likely reach 5m by June even at the standard £39.99. It is one of most highly rated games of the decade and its growing success will see a decent return. If MS think charging £74.99 for absolute shite is going to make them more money, they are beyond deluded. Also charging more for machines already made, shipped and landed is not going to go down well.
Sony will probably be next as Microsoft weren't too far behind Nintendo.

Currently 99,000 in-game on Steam which has overtaken Oblivion at 98k! It's also one of the few UE5 games that doesn't feel like asset slop and it apparently runs really well. The art style looks incredible and the combat seems very refreshing for a turn-based title. Probably the biggest success story of the generation so far. Can see the popularity of it soaring further in the coming weeks.

Another all-in live service risk by Sony and developed by Bungie. Reception has been pretty mixed in the trailers and playtests and this could be another another DOA title. Not quite Concord 2.0 but it could very well be another embarrassment.

This game is becoming massively popular and is currently sitting at 92 on Metacritic. It's made by just 30 developers - mostly ex-Ubisoft who broke away from the corporate regime of churning out regurgitated shit annually. It's a bit of a travesty that it got threw under the bus somewhat by the shadow drop of Oblivion Remastered but it's becoming so popular that it is not actually too far behind now and the gap is closing.

I have no idea what on earth is going on in the Championship. I've tried to turn a blind eye as for me, the season was done at Christmas anyway 🤣 So at least the last day of the season will be great to watch as a neutral.
We have to beat Sheff Utd away on the last day so in all honesty, Bristol and Cov should still get 5th and 6th respectfully given they have Preston and Middlesborough.
Probably shows that its more fun watching Championship games though! 🤣🤣
Sheff Utd should field a pretty weak team so I can see Blackburn getting a result there. Assuming Leeds beat Bristol City tomorrow, that will pile on the pressure for Saturday as Preston will need to better Hull's score or risk relegation by even a single goal it is that close. Blackburn could even draw and go above Coventry if they can better their result and with Burnley going for the title against Millwall, that'll be a tough ask for the visitors there. Coventry look really bad right now - terrible keeper, sloppy defending and a few injuries so that wont be an easy game for them and Boro could even win there and still miss out. Could be very interesting at either end for sure!
-
Another crazy day in the Championship- Oxford survive beating Sunderland 2-0 so I am delighted! Insane that Hull are now in the drop zone and Preston have been dragged into the mix after Luton, Plymouth and Derby all won. Playoffs have take another huge turn with Blackburn and Millwall back in it after Coventry blow it and Bristol City playing Leeds Monday. Cov v Middlesbrough last game too!
