I have to agree with you on that. It's definitely got the Dune vibe down but it's too janky, looks like an MMO from 2014 and too similar to games like Conan.
I think they will work on it so I'll keep an eye on it and maybe further down the line it will tempt me.

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 Final product looks pretty shambolic and about 10 years out of date.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. 

The better game to watch will get the Man Utd one.
 
Spurs and Bodo game is in freezing cold Norway on an artificial grass pitch, so will be a horrible game to watch. I have to watch it unfortunately 🙈

United Men it is then, thank you
 
This is what Lee had to say:
Hard shout. Spurs could be in trouble as they're playing on a different surface.   Man Utd you never know what you're gonna get!

----   IDK what that means lol

Lots of screenshots
Grand Theft Auto 6 dropped a whopping 84 brand-new screenshots and illustrations, and here's every single one | 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 have options for two games
 
Bodo/glimt vs Tottenham
 
or
United Men vs Athletic club
 
you all really need better names for these teams, I swear to god

Yea, that was a really fun game. I need to see what's on this afternoon. I hope it's another good one. Sadly they don't really promote the games here, and they pop up on two different channels.
 

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. 

Fantastic game, both legs in fact 👏 

Definately a cash grab on people who have never bought into the Xbox ecosystem, can't see any other reason for it. The current remaster play's fairly well so I don't understand why you would pick this up unless you had just solely stayed on playstation. I do wonder if we may see this released on the Switch 2 as well?

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.

Still end up being cheaper than the latest Assassin's Creed Deluxe Edition or the new FIFA Ultimate Edition🤣

Those 8 months are to help people save up to pay £100 or whatever it's going to cost 🫠

Had a feeling they'd drop this after delaying for 8 months🤣

This game is pure art 

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?

Not releasing it as a trilogy is criminal. 

I've had time for 3 proper raids so far, 2 of which I successfully extracted. 
 
The game is done really well, I'm not usually a fan of 3rd person but here, like the Division games, it feels very smooth.
 
Sound is excellent, guns feel good to use, there's a good tutorial and there's a skill system that's pretty straightforward.
 
I'm busy today until the evening but if the playtest is still live tonight I'll definitely be jumping on again. 

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. 

It'll give them time to release a newer remaster for the PS5 Pro now.

You see, this is where I worry Bungie has gone wrong with Marathon. Apparently same genre as this game, but this is way more like what I would expect a PvPvE extraction game to look and feel. It feels like the environment Arc Raiders is clean and aesthetically will work given Tarkov is already in this space.
