The whole idea just makes me really sad. I appreciate everyone knows that I love physical game purchases, so I am trying to see this from an objective view - but I appreciate there may always be some unconscious bias. For me, it drives so many poor behaviours and attitudes in the world. They want quick to market, so that means we will get less polished games, more likely towards a PC styled games. The love for PC games just isn't there for me, can't remember when I saw a proper AAA title come out on PC, whilst hundreds of thousands of Indie games are littered on the storefront. Ironically, indie games are usually self contained games that don't need online support, which then could be physical lol. Its the whole experience for me. A console has been a driving force for years as its a 'physical' thing a parent can buy a kid for Christmas. You never see a PC done like that. What went with that is opening games, surprises on what is with them. If you look at the games that have been well received over recent years, so many are physical playable games, but also because they have some incredible physical packages you can buy. The Witcher 3 which is still up there on the best of all time games, was such good value for money. People got maps, details, etc, inside the physical game. We've just hit what I think is about 2-5 years near the end of the Digital, minimalistic era. AI will accelerate but games will go digital for a while, but it will all come full circle and we will be back to delivering items that people want to physically own in their hands and their houses. I saw a joke somewhere that this is the perfect time for Xbox to announce they are going back to Physical games. It would be the Powerplays of all powerplays. Our social voices creates movements very quickly these days, so we'll see if it changes anything in the coming weeks/months.

Yes, its being depressing me for some time, and I can only apologise for the issues we have had for a while. The big news is that I've pressed a button behind the scenes that starts the ball rolling on a big change to the future of moving FG forward. I don't want to jump in on it too much right now as we'll need quite abit of work but I'm prepared to make it happen and hopefully we'll have some more hands on support from other FGers to make it so. This place is here for all and I want it to remain that way forever.

When this comes to PS5, I'll purchase it but not doing any gamepass malarkey for it. Looks decent and I agree that a chill open world area to chill and find stuff at your leisure is a good, different way to essentially create the opening menu UI.

Great find Seb @ChaosGladiator. Definitely looks like some great fun and a solid mix of building with exploring/fighting. Sea of Thieves is a fun game to play with a bunch of us, but I do miss that slightly styled Black Flag game we had years ago that had lots of mini games and quests to achieve. How many are allowed in a co-op group on the game?

The UI has got hurt somewhat review wise, understandably. However, its been received very positively - I think what helps is that Arc Raiders is the chill PvEvP game more weighted to PvE, whereas this is more weighted to PvP. Having said that, theres lots of puzzles to explore and with Arc Raiders content delivery pattern not helping certain players (including myself), I can see why this has appeal. We're into an era of playing more than one game is the way forward because one game these days can't satisfy consumers enough as they don't evolve quick enough (whether I agree with that or not, its just gaming right now). The gunplay looks everything I expected it to be. I'm trying it over the next week. Hopefully not going to get stuck in UI admin, which is a real killer.

There was a few of us here that really tried to give Monster Hunter a go when it came out. @Stretch616 played it quite abit too. I struggled with the mechanics a little, but its very good in a party to help track down certain monsters in the game.

Let us know how it feels mate. I have since seen they are bringing out a new DLC and I'm really keen to start all over again on this game. Seems to have a lot of playability in it still and lots to collect too.

Looks fantastic tbh. The puzzles, albeit seem very hard, will keep the game fresh and wanting you to discover more and more of the world. I think I may have to add it on my list too. £50 for PS5 is extremely good price online right now for a large open world game.

They are really underrated, some of their passing play is just quality so probably not too suprised that they turned them over! Inter Milan aren't the giants they once were unfortunately.

Still baffling to me. Can someone help me understand if the ex-Wolves Manager that got them about 2 points from 751 games, manages to get the Forest job now? 🙈

That's so cool, Pat! Only thing that always puts me off models is the painting part. How long does it take for the painting, for instance on the Plane? If Lego hadn't come along so much then I'd definitely look into some of this historic models. I'll have to find my cards that my Grandad used to collect for me that talks about all different planes and aircraft.

Yeah I'm surprised I've not seen the extra questions asked yet about how the mechanics work with the block. On a mobile app makes perfect sense though. It surely can't be that intuitive to work itself out on its own?

There's a beta sign up so I'm gonna give it a go. Bot sure when its out but worth signing up for a giggle.

And now Dyche too. This one is madness to me. Stats don't lie 🤷‍♂️

Is it always with the 4 button lego block that you've seen? It'll be interesting as over time they'll be under pressure to make smaller or unusual shapes for this. The understanding to know what it actually is connecting to, is crazy. Surely you must have to program it that you're putting it into an X-Wing instead of a F1 Car?

🤣 Can't even see the woke bit in it myself 🤣 They had me when they started talking dungeons and puzzles to solve with mates. Not enough games do that these days!

Lets get away from that narrative...just as bad as the 'do we have a website?' rhetorical question 🙈

The Shared Watch is a celebration of Raiders that have each other's back. From February 10-24, Raiders who battle the ARC will unlock items, Raider Tokens, and progress through the new cosmetic set: The Slugger. How to progress Players will earn merits from destroying, assisting and damaging ARC and earn rewards. No merits will be earned from PvP encounters. Bring a friend or bring a stranger, but above all, bring enough ammo to make sure the machines notice you first. Thoughts Looks like they're pushing a 2 week event of full PvE rather than PvP aspect. Initial reaction is it would've been nice to get something else other than just XP. However, the idea of getting people to think more about joining up and hurting the bigger Arc enemies I really like. How many is a good number to help take down a Matriarch? I think the latest free 'Project' near the latter stages requires Queen reactor parts and some other high level Arc parts so it could be a good idea to get partied up a few times where possible. What's everyone else thinking?

Now this is really odd to me - comments are quite negative but this looks good and the concept of them trying something standalone and different shouldn't be discouraged surely. Appreciate there's a lot of people that love HZD, as do I, but this doesn't mean they are going away from Single Player games. They even confirm that in the video. The idea of a multiplayer PvE co-op game excites me and with the type of graphical way its being made, I definitely its been done like this to allow them to add content more regularly into the game over time. Good early features via each type of 'Hunter' and decent ideas about Dungeon style puzzles to solve too. Looks standard 3 player but hopefully they'll be making it so you can make 6 player co-op bigger events like Raids, etc. Thats when games really stand out, showing the art of the possible and more people join it in the hope that its what they can achieve one day. Any thoughts?

This. Always been the way and we want to keep it that way 💯

Destiny 3 is needed. Its just how the industry works. It suffers when we just update the same game over and over...and remove content is such a silly idea.

I've tried to start the 4th series a month back as I wasn't letting Henry Cavill departing get to me that much. Its been okay so far. The first few episodes have some decent fights in them. I think you do feel the difference between Henry Cavill and Liam Hemsworth though and I'm trying hard to ignore it but its definitely difficult to do so. I'll watch a few more episodes and hopefully the desire sticks with me.

Ah thats so disappointing that it backdates your collector level! No idea why they didn't make a collector level to match the total amount of cars in the game from Day one 🙈 I'm going to give the tracks a go at some point this week. Hopefully they're nice to drive.

Looks astounding that does. Wonder when alpha comes out! Signed up to the wishlist for PS5 but would love to play it on Steam too. Hopefully its connected to the Alpha.

Looking forward to starting this over the next few days!! Thanks Santa 😄
