I watched about an hour of next gen gameplay last night and I just cannot get over how barren the city is now with a huge lack of cars and pedestrians compared to release even on the new consoles. It's not quite as bad as 1.4 on the old gen where you'd be lucky to see more than 3 cars and 5 people at any given time but it feels like a very bland environment in what is already a city lacking dynamics. A lot of textures have also been downscaled which is really noticeable. I haven't played since the launch on PC but I have followed each big update and it's like they keep chopping away at things that add to the immersion and it really hurts the output. The game does appear cleaner though and all those small fixes have given it a more polished experience but there is still NPC's colliding, cars on rails and the UI is still pretty ghastly. I didn't get to see much in terms of the AI and if there were any improvements there but a lot of work was needed in this regard rather than just planting a few enemies sporadically through the map who respawn every day. I'll definitely keep my eye on this but I can't see myself ever venturing back.

What does the bible actually do? That may be a useful item I have completely overlooked especially when getting swarmed. I think a good strategy is to choose two or three projectiles and focus on buffing them up rather than spreading out 4-5 different ones. When those don't appear, I grab health, armour or damage improvements. I was rocking 6 knives on one run and those go off in the direction you face so it's ideal for clearing a forwarding path. The axes are also very powerful in a vertical direction especially if you have two or 3 going off. The water can also clear some much needed space and I've had some massive damage output from the cross. I am beginning to swerve the bombarding birds and projectiles that have no accuracy like the bone or flame as those can get you into trouble post-level 15 onward. I've been screwed over so many times with the skeleton swarm on the meadow and sometimes early on I can tell I am not going to have enough power or defence to get through them. The library is a pretty cool level - only done it a couple of times but despite being very narrow, you can get some serious flow going and really tear groups apart.

I have never seen so many patch notes for a game post-release yet for all the fixes and improvements they've made, it's barely noticeable in-game and if anything, the downgrades/sacrifices have taken away from what was an already hollow experience and those are significantly noticeable. In all fairness, they never said they were going to produce what they originally promised/lied about and were just focused on fixing issues and improving what was there but it still leaves a really bad taste. I don't think this game is outright bad but just very disappointing and the way it was marketed was the most dishonest thing I have ever seen all the way up until release. It's painful to hear them talk about features that have been in games and done better since 2004. Hopefully this will be a stepping stone for them to do what they originally promoted but for me, it's too late and the time wasted on this is just taking away from future titles they have planned.

Looks an interesting game and something original but I'm kinda worried that it'll get old fast and be rather repetitive.

I think it's just the posted folded up sadly! Bit misleading but doesn't really matter too much. No steel case either it seems - just a card sleeve that goes over the standard box and the other extras. Not a bad package at all really. The collectors edition does have the steel case though but that's around the £200 mark. Art book looks great!

Ubisoft's latest effort to convince employees that NFTs are good falls flat | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM An update posted to an internal message board earlier this week failed to convince employees about the merits of its NFT strategy.

Picked this up earlier and it's absolutely amazing! Really addictive and highly enjoyable gameplay. My best run was level 15 so far but oh boy can things go sideways out of nowhere😂 Plenty to unlock and experiment with too and the mechanics just feel flawless for what it is. This would also be a perfect game for the Steam Deck and anyone with a spare 30 mins here and there.

Maguire oh dear! Also I'm not sure why Ronaldo was complaining about this disallowed goal when 6 players were offside

On paper this should be the big one but nobody seems to care about it and it's more of an inconvenience if anything. I remember when Man Utd withdrew from the FA Cup back in 2000 or so to play in it and they went out straight away🤣

Everyone is saying buy the PS4 version as it comes with a free PS5 upgrade and is cheaper😅

This mod looks essential My biggest worry with Dying Light 2 was the floaty physics and animations overriding the combat output. Seems this is a great foundation to restore the DL2 to what the original was. The developers put so much effort into the parkour with thousands of animations but the end result feels very lightweight and arcadey whereas the original felt way more authentic despite being simple. Having animations instead of true physics was also a very strange decision that made it look worse than the original. I'm excited to see how this mod develops and what else the community does. Darker nights and more terror is surely high upon the list..

Sounds good Phil! I am not familiar with their skill level so I don't know whether to interpret that as a compliment or an horrendous dig😅

Haven't watched this all yet but some very promising things said I quite like the point about this feeling like an adventure rather than just an open world game. This is something missing from so many games these days with the likes of Assassin's Creed being a prime culprit. The original Dark Souls was a remarkable journey through incredible places and you never knew what you were walking into whereas many open world games these days have so many copy and pasted assets plus with maps laden with icons and waypoints, there's no sense of discovery. If something isn't on a map then you know the place isn't worth visiting. Elden Ring seems to have that unique design framework that has just become lost in this industry.
