Giving this thread a nudge as it is going to be release in May. I have looked at some of the recent footage and though it looks a bit janky it is looking like it could be great fun.
 
There are 3 zones, 1 which is kind of starter friendly, 1 which is then PvE and bigger in scope and then an end game one which then include's the PvP element. The discussion around the PvP area is that because it is a whole bunch of servers all meshed together you could potentially have up to 900 players in this larger end game area at any one time and it appears to take some influence from Battlefield and Planetside games.
 
Definately one I will be giving a try I think.

Mirror's Edge - mad that this is a 2008 game!

They would be pretty dumb not to release on all platforms at the same time particularly with their new mantra of playing their games on whatever device you like...

Fantastic effort @slamminbones. I really do envy your workrate to get over 100km done in a month. You must feel way better than previous months too!

It looks like only Matty can do it as the Realm owner so dropped him a message to post a join link.
 
 
Never! It’s nice to be able to crossplay with some mods but Bedrock has a looooong way to go to be on the level of java.  Also you have to buy the addons for Bedrock (the server host does, not all of us) rather just download them.
 
Plus Bedrock is annoying in some respects though I accept this might just be because I’m so used to Java.

Would you mind sorting me a link Greboth? I was thinking of booting this up again with my daughter and it might be nice to play on the FG one rather than have a seperate one running if that's ok?

Good afternoon you beautiful people,
 
I don't know when but at some point recently addons (or mods basically) were added to the store so they can be added to realms.  There's whole modpacks on there but to start with, Matt and I decided on a few choice vanilla+ mods.  The mods included are
- Tinkers Construct (a mod that adds many different materials for tools, upgrades and modifiers to tools)
- Storage drawers (these are errr drawers the store stuff - some alternate storage, each draw stores one item but shows the item and single drawers can store a LOT - storage can be increased too)
- Botany pots (pots to grow stuff in, simplifies crop growing and with hopper pots, they will auto-harvest crops too)
- A structure addon that adds buildings to explore out in the world
- A creature addon that adds some new creatures (and variants) to find in different parts of the world.
 
This should work seamlessly for anyone that can connect from whatever device.  For me, the realm showed up automatically for me as I've connected before to the old one.  So hopefully people can get on but any problems and we can sort out an invite link.

A pretty comprehensive review
 
 

Quite enjoying this demo. Although I will admit that I had filled in half of the river crossings on the third map with sand and graded them all before realising bridges were a thing
 

Back full force with running not going into detail why I gave it up bur sure does feel good to be back out there.
Prep fo4 the conditions as today I didn't and almost took a nap on the pavement.
Over 100km ran this month.
It's gotten to the point I'm collecting digital trophies on strava so it's.just not ps trophies.

Remake or remaster...I hear it's a bit of both. Leakers say it may drop next Tuesday but we'll see...

Must admit I always enjoy clubs even with some of the rubbish evenings we get, we generally have a good laugh and chat about shit. No other game really offers the same experience as we don't really have a game where we are all on the same team competing against everyone or everything else!
 
Anyway stats have been updated, sorry for the last few weeks being delayed!

Some more TLOU2

Not sure I want to talk about the obliteration of Blackburn Rovers right now. The most toxic environment we've ever had, worse than when we went down to League 1, 5-6 years ago. Ironically, I've spoken to a guy at the club who works in there, and confirms they are just sapping all the energy out of the place. Every bit of spare funds is being sent back to India - and there doesn't seem to be any sight that they want to actively sell the club.
 
Its hard these days, football. Its a sinking hole that is super expensive, so for us to survive next season we desperately need to find someone that wants to buy us or I seriously worry for the history of everything at the club.

Looks a great concept. May see how cheap it is on PC!

I'm really excited for it - mainly for way more durability in the controls and for a new Mario Kart game coming out, that has up to 24 racers at once. Price wise, its probably more of an issue across general society as games prices haven't gone way overboard like many other things in life have. I'm thankful for it, because I've been able to own more games, but at the same time if they go £10-15 per game, I can understand why to a degree.
 
Nintendo's capacity to keep their own games exclusive has really made sure they can control this market still as there is still a lotta love for these unique games. Steamdecks and RoGs are a nice alternative but its all about how these games feel way more unique to the user than anything else. Perfect for a family really. I'd love to hook up two decks when they're out and getting them on the TVs in my outbuilding.

Yeah it was a great craic mate! You hit some absolute bangers...only shots from 25 yards plus from now on! 🤣

Released in early access the other day
 

This game is coming out April 10th on all systems (plus PS+ and Game Pass) and is shaping up to be very good indeed. Already posting some huge review scores. 8 years in the making also
 

Patch 1.3 has dropped this evening, it's massive so I'll just leave a link below.
 
Lots of tweaks, re-balancing and fixes, including to A Life...I hope I get a few more frames too : )

I've been loving it. I'm also nearly at the end of the game now (on Stalker difficulty) and once done I'm going back and doing the whole game again on Veteran.
 
The story, if you know the lore, is bang on imo,  so far at least. I just had an emotional conversation with Strider, which was excellent 😥 I lied to him.
 
 
 
 

Been loving my time with STALKER 2, it's exactly what I wanted coming from the base stalker games. Just had a full play through of Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat to refresh my memory on events before starting certain quests in Stalker 2.
