  1. Elden Ring Nightreign release date set for May, will cost $40 | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The co-op spinoff is coming sooner than I would've guessed.
  2. I'm shocked Eustace would trade a playoff push for a relegation battle. If he thinks Derby is the best bet going forward then that is a worry for Blackburn but I just wonder if he's using it as an excuse to force a move through. I thought Rovers had a decent window in January and I get he has ties to Derby but it just seems a crazy move especially with them being in a terrible place in the league and off the field.
  3. It's a good job Sony are back-peddling on the PSN requirement for some of their PC games now. This was announced prior to this latest outage but it just goes to prove that such things just hamper their games and gamers alike. Imagine not being able to play a single player game on PC which is already DRM protected by Steam, just because Playstation is down once more. 5 days free PSN is also a peculiar reward seeing that most people compensated will be rolling PSN members regardless. Doesn't make sense really. With a range of Microsoft games coming to PS5 soon like Halo and Forza Horizon 5, incidents like these will become even more embarrassing for them.
  4. Pretty embarrassing for Sony especially with all the money that's involved on the network now with 3rd party games. Activision and Epic must be peeved! Wonder if they are getting DDOS'd like it's 2011 again🤣
  5. Spurs lose 4-0 in the second leg semi final and achieve zero shots on target which is less than how Accrington Stanley faired a few weeks ago there. The manner of the performance was absolutely appalling and there was just no fight. Spence tried really hard but the likes of Richarlison offered absolutely nothing and made no intelligent runs. It's not easy being down to the bare bones but what a dismal way to go out especially from the senior players. I honestly don't know how the club have amassed so many hopeless players especially for big money and quite a few of the experienced ones are Championship standard tops.
  6. I'm tempted just to play VI. Although I own just the base game, the entire collection is available for less than £8 which includes all the expansions and other DLC. Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI Anthology | Steam Game WWW.FANATICAL.COM Civilization VI is a historical strategy game with one goal: build an empire to stand the test of time. Explore new land,... I'm sure Civ 7 will come good but not for another 5 years. The grand strategy genre is one of the worst for cash cowing and Firaxis are becoming worse than Paradox.
  7. Not a good start with only 44% positive ratings on Steam and this is coming from premium buyers of the £60 game. Seems incredibly starved of content even by modern strategy game standards and the UI looks like it's a placeholder. The mechanics look quite light and simplified too which further diminishes the experience. Gonna take a lot of work and paid DLC to turn this around!
  8. Some Battlefield 3 vibes which is good. I'm fairly optimistic about this one especially as Respawn Entertainment managed to salvage BF2042 to a degree and keep the series going. First Official Look at New Battlefield Gameplay as EA Reveals Battlefield Labs - IGN WWW.IGN.COM EA has delivered the first official look at new Battlefield gameplay as part of an announcement around player testing and its development set-up.
  9. BioWare has reportedly lost at least half its staff, with fewer than 100 people left and the studio a ghost of its former self | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Instead of killing the golden goose, what if you slowly starved it to death over more than a decade.
  10. The numbers were finally revealed the other week and Dragon Age the Veilguard missed their extremely low sales target by a whopping 50% as it is. Only 1.5m players across all platforms and that includes EA Play and with the game having a 40% discount during the holiday season. EA were expecting at least 3m sales which is tiny compared to the 12m units even Inquisition sold. I personally would've expected them to achieve at least 6m players for a brand like this but 1.5m is absolutely pitiful. Some major layoffs now happening at BioWare including some big in-house names plus a host of writers. Huge concerns over Mass Effect 5 but after almost 15 years of being on the brink, that could be the final nail for the studio if they don't succeed with that. Electronic Arts says 'Dragon Age and EA Sports FC 25 underperformed' as it revises its financial outlook downward | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Dragon Age: The Veilguard missed sales projections by nearly 50%.
  11. Good result for Spurs last night and I'm really chuffed with the scorers especially Scarlett. A ray of hope in a miserable season so far.
  12. Some more Read Dead 2
  13. Dino Crisis 1+2 now available on PC via GOG Dino Crisis Bundle on GOG.com WWW.GOG.COM Dino Crisis Bundle includes: Dino Crisis Three years ago. A scientist died in an acc
  14. Spurs 1-2 Leicester. Another pitiful result and performance. Ange is on the thinnest of ice imaginable and Levy too. Probably the worst manager in 30 years at the club and greedy Levy should've left after the stadium was built if he wanted to cash in proper.
  15. Revisiting Red Dead Redemption 2
  16. I certainly spent a few quid at Thorpe Park and on the Ferry to France playing this in the arcade! Absolute classic but having not played the original remake, I'm not sure how these translate especially with controls. Along with Crazy Taxi, Silent Scope and Time Crisis, it's impossible to recreate the brilliance that arcade machines used to provide. I did have this on the Dreamcast back in the day along with the light gun but I don't remember too much about it.
  17. Creative Assembly are in a bit of a shambles - they always seem to have 3 games and 15 DLC's in development at once and it's hard to say which game is being made by which internal team because that has a hugely defining impact on the end product. Warhammer is their mainline team but then 'fringe' staff are churning out the likes of Britannia, Pharoah and Troy and the difference is night and day. It was reported last May that they were working on a Star Wars game as part of a trio of Total War titles but it's hard to say which one will be the main one and the others being shafted as side releases. Either way, it's basically a new game every year and £100+ worth of DLC. No thanks Sega.
  18. Is that the same guy that ‘supports freedom of speech’ who got so offended by the truth being revealed about his fake gaming status, he removed several popular content creators paid verifications on Twitter to suppress their reach, visibility and affect their livelihoods?
  19. It's not propaganda - it's one thing taking pictures of waving and (out of context) gestures of people (who are equally unpopular in their own right) but Elon's 'salute' was a full-blown mimicking action and this is off the back of political and societal stances he houses, so whether there was any malice or if it was just an awkward moment from a immature 53 year old, it doesn't really set a good example. This happening off the back of him getting into petty squabbles with gamers and then trying to ruin their livelihoods because they outed him and a dishonest person. If I go into a room of important people and shove my middle finger in all their faces, I can't turn around and say it was a harmless misunderstanding, unintentional and I didn't know how it would reflect.
  20. Our first PC was an IBM Aptiva in 1995 but despite it being an amazing multimedia device, it wasn't ideal for gaming as it only had 75mhz and 8mb RAM along with a 500mb drive. Most of my games were from 1993-97 with the likes of Doom, Heretic, Stonekeep, Actua Soccer, IndyCar Racing, Championship Manager 2, Stonekeep, Virtual Snooker plus the original Tomb Raider. I had a N64 and PS1 on the side so I didn't mind not playing the latest releases from 1998 where you really needed at least 133mhz and 16mb RAM. Windows 95 was awesome though and it was one hell of a step up from the shitty RM Nimbus PC's we had at school! We finally got a new PC in 2000 which was cheaper than the £1800 Aptiva but it was pretty high-end at the time. The backlog I had was insane - had the Half Life collection to sift through plus new titles like Deus Ex, SWAT 3, Project IGI and the PC came with Age of Empires 2 which I played the hell out of. I picked up all the Championship Manger games - 3 up to 04/05 and also classics like Commandos 2, No One Lives Forever, Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Thief 1+2, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, Counter Strike and Max Payne. The choice was absolutely insane and it was a great time for gaming because of the sheer potential and endless possibilities. A game from 5 years ago is no different to now but back in those days, the level of innovation in hardware and software was so big, you'd go from Doom to Half Life and all the games in between. The industry now is brickwalled and stagnant.
  21. I don't think I've seen someone have such an embarrassing fortnight before - firstly getting exposed by teenagers, then getting shitted on by his gaming allies and then behaving like this in front of the world. He may have deleted all his Twitter squabbles but this will stick forever.
  22. Ange has to go now. Spurs are an absolute shambles and the relegation zone isn't all that far away especially if teams below pick up a win or two. Losing to a weakened Arsenal was one thing but then losing to a poor Everton side a week after almost getting humiliated to Tamworth has to be the final straw.
  23. Hilarious! Can't wait to play this.
  24. It gets worse Absolute manchild
