Luseth

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!

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?

I don't think it's expensive really, I think if you compare this to the Steam deck which is a great machine you are getting something rather comparable for the price. The power under the hood is similar and I think the 256gb variant is similar in price to this device albeit you are paying more but getting the dock included. They appear to have taken on board the issues with the first console and improved them. My wife was really interested in this straight off the bat because of the Mario Kart game which my kids are at the age to start appreciating, I do not think this will do as well as the original Switch, it does not feel like it brings much new to the table other than a more refined device. It feel's just like an upgrade rather than a new machine. The game share I liked, it means I could play Mario Kart on the Switch 2 and my daughter join us on the OLED swith 1 which could be good. The camera and the screen sharing looked really bad. The power isn't there to stream 4 other players devices while you are gaming and you could clearly see them lagging. Apparently in the interviews after they acknowledged this and have just accepted it which to me is poor. If it does not work just don't do it at all and they showed off some great 3rd party games that would never have been possible on the current switch with cyberpunk, Hitman, new 007 game and the bloodborne esque game they showed off at the end of the trailer. I do have issues though - I think the first game / app they showed off sums up Nintendo at the moment though and it is why I have fallen out of love with the company as such in recent years. A game / app that showcases how to use the device but you have to pay for it? I mean what??!! Wheras playstation release a little Astro bot game free of charge. Then there are all these Switch 2 variants of games that you have to pay extra for, I think it was the Zelda game where you are paying extra to have the maps on your phone? Also game chat, welcome to what 2006? I will pick one up but it will likely be a Christmas purchase for the household after we have moved and that is in part because my wife is offering to buy it as a joint household gift! 🙂

I have had a brief go, it felt very British with the accents and such, was a bit more difficult than I anticipated and I like they have tried to do things a bit differently with how investigations work and there isn't levelling up as such. The world is very British though probably greener than I am familiar with! You can tell it's based around the lake district. Just some points I have picked up on so far - - It does not encourage combat the way fallout does. You can only take so many hits so it sort of forces you to be mindful of who you fight, adding in a bit of stealth and such. You can even scare enemies off by just pointing a gun at them in some instances. - Ammo is very sparse but as noted above the game does not really want you going in all guns blazing it seems. - I like the fact it does not point you to the exact location like some games, with clues and such you can narrow down locations but it does not hold your hand right up to the point or item you are looking for. The game encourages you to investigate things and it makes a nice change. - I don't think I have seen a world or map in a game be so green, it's quite nice and refreshing and surprisingly pretty to look at. - The amnesiac protaginist has been done so many times...

Kind of a pointless month for me, I have the plat for Robocop (great game that I think you should all give a go) and Digimon I have been dipping in and out of ^_^

They are a bit pointless aren't they? Friday's for me are generally the day I have no meetings, get left alone all day and work from home with no one really knowing what I am doing. It tends to be the day I book my dentist appointments, doctors appointments and all the rest of it as I know few people will realy want me on a Friday. What are your Friday's like?

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.

Sounds good, I will be on earlyish I think if my wife goes out with the kids to her moms and then probably jump on again around 8 I would have thought so if you see me on just give me a nudge or jump in a game room and I'll join you 🙂

I haven't been on too much but should be on tomorrow evening as my wife takes the kids over to her moms so will see how much I get through in a couple of hours. I am very much the sort to just wander and explore and probably not get much done on these sort's of games though 😄

Getting the stats updated early this week. I don't think anyone would disagree when I say that has to have been one of our most successful nights especially with the play off's. We played 11 and won 11 which is brilliant so gg's guys!
