Microsoft to buy Activision Blizzard?
Luseth replied to phil bottle's topic in General Gaming Discussion
That said we are the UK and run by a corrupt shower of shite so I imagine they probably could buy influence here very easily.... I will be honest I could not care less whether it went through or not, our society is run by huge companies, turning them into mega huge companies wouldn't really change things for us. It might make it a bit better being on xbox as it will all come to game pass but aside from that it will be the same shite. That said look how Microsoft have run their own studios recent years (I mean Halo feels like it's dead, Gears of War is struggling, though Fable is coming back they ruined that. -
Sorry to disappear last night, Felicity would not go back to sleep (no idea why as she is fine this morning) but yeah how did the battlefield session go? Was it enjoyable? My limited go I thought it looked prettier and there seemed to be a little more cover within each point. That said still big expanses to run across with no cover between points. I remember that being one of the worst maps on launch so hopefully some of the other maps were better? Gunplay felt fine though I was hitting targets like a mile away with an SMG which did not feel right and the UI is not particularly friendly, probably less so now as they have tried to put in all the class stuff and that (which I am not sure even works?). The change of controls from launch threw me as well at the start but that's just something to get used to if I get to playing it again.

Yeah I will try and be about tonight 🙂 I think James and Lee were showing interest as well when I was speaking to them last night

There is every possibility considering we don't live a million miles from one another, though my teenage years are a bit of a blur now from too many rather rough mosh pits (I am not sure why but every Tuesday I think? I went to Rock Cafe, Stourbridge if you know it and the mosh pits tended to be half the group just throwing punches at one another) 😅 I still enjoy a lot of the music, just have a broader taste now.
-
I went to put it on download earlier after Lee messaged me about maybe doing an FG event and it turns out I have already downloaded it 🙂 So yeah let me know when you are about one of the evenings and we can jump on. @phil bottleare you on pc or ps (from memory it was given away free on the latter recently wasn't it).
-
I am not overly keen on racing games so for me 2 of them just look crap. The third however I have played on the xbox and is actually quite good fun, think fps styled sword combat and definately one some of us on here could have fun with I reckon.
-
I must admit, I did contemplate redownloading it on PS the other day, not sure I am wholly sold yet though, maybe.
-
Yeah I agree that a product that is dedicated to a task tends to be way better, I still have a camera, I mean the big one is I don't want to drain my phone battery if I go out with the intention to take a few photos. But that said mobile gaming is the biggest element of the gaming industry now and I can't help but feel it is only a matter of time before handhelds as we know it will fade out. There will still be a place for say emulation devices and such but whether or not a Switch will still be around in 40 years time, I am not convinced (especially as cloud gaming does fully take over). I have a lovely handheld collection and plan to put some photos up, that said it probably doesn't go earlier than the gameboys unfortunately.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC
Luseth replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in RPG / Action / Adventure
I would like to give it a go but I did sell my game to a friend, did this come to the ps plus subscription? If so I could redownload it that way maybe. -
Putting this one here as though the Switch is handheld and we now have the Steamdeck the majority of handhelds are getting on a bit now. In fact it seems like there is not much of a future for them considering the power we have in our tablets and mobile phones these days. That said I have quite a growing handheld collection with a nice white psp being added to the collection the past week and it got me thinking about which one's are my favourite. We have the DS / 3DS consoles where there was an abundance of games and it was incredibly accessible for people, the PSP being Sony's first forray into handheld consoles and it being fairly successful to it's PS Vita offering which I think was maybe the best console but let down by Sony. So do you have a favourite, do any of them still get a look in with modern consoles, steam decks, nintendo switches being available? Are there any games that bring back fond memories? For me it is the PSP, partly because I had a PSP Go back when I used to work away and it was incredibly versatile, had an abundance of jrpg's that I loved (Jeanne D'Arc was brilliant as a tactics type game) and I used to sit at the top of 30m stacks just gaming and every now and again taking a reading. It was pretty great.

That was a great impromptu session the over night, results went well and there were plenty of laughs 😄 -
I won't lie, that looks incredible!

I know results were a bit hit and miss last night (we played some good stuff) but I quite enjoyed it and looking forward to the next session. Just need Macca back in as any ^_^ -
Ironically I did have a Windows 98 machine until a couple of years back, some of the MS-DOS games worked best on there whilst modern systems sometimes require some effort to get things to run ^_^ But yeah you guy's should be on Windows 11 now, what the heck are you doing? 😛

I have just had a veggie samosa from a butchers and they are damn gorgeous. So first question is why are veggie samosas sold in a butchers? Secondly how do I make them as good as they do?
-
I wanted an early start 😂

Thought I'd have a go at putting up an event ^_^

So Game Of Thrones really feels like game of thrones 😄 Important characters to the main character being killed off left, right and centre. There's a character put in the game who is essentially George Martin and it's flowing really well with lots going on now during the mid section of the game ^_^ I also discovered the other day that there was a PS3 version of San Andreas! I never knew that was a thing 😄 It also has trophies so I may, once I complete GoT move onto that next, it was such a brilliant game!

Correct @J4MES OX4D, I had one of the shiny one's and they were limited in size to 60gb hard drives. The plus like you say is that they could play PS2 games and for that reason they are quite sought after today (being able to play PS2 games via hdmi without extra upscalers and whatnot). However the og fat ps3's also had issues with overheating over time and generally they have not lasted particularly well. The slim consoles however are incredibly robust and the super slim one's even moreso, though I have never owned one. The slim and super slim variants are also where they started to introduce some custom colours i.e. the scarlet red that I have, I think there is a blue version too. Though the 360's win on that front, I do not have it anymore but I loved my Halo xbox 360, it sounded brilliant when it booted up
-
There were quite a few exclusives but I think it comes down to taste, being a fan of my jrpg games there were a lot of exclusives, enough to make it well worth choosing the PS3 over the 360. The controllers, I find fairly comfortable still, analog sticks are still fine, I think the only thing that's noticeable which may be an easy fix is some of the buttons stick a little bit. I suspect it is just dirt and grime build up though, I just don't have any compressed air to hand at the moment. Agreed that the 360 controllers were a lot better, that said it has led microsoft into a false sense of security and the modern controller isn't really much different whilst it has forced / encouraged Sony to innovate their's a little. The other thing with the PS3 being less popular is that the exclusives are fewer, meaning when collectors get to that era they will go up in value more and quicker than xbox 360 games which I am always mindful of these days as it is so easy to get priced out of a game you might want in the current market.
-
Ah fair enough, I did not realise that was how COD worked back then and explains it ^_^ Agreed on the PS3 interface, going back to it this week and it really is the consoles biggest flaw. It is not smooth at all.
-
Second this, you never had to pay for ps+ for ps3, in fact PS+ came out in 2010 whilst the PS3 came out in 2006 ^_^ Someone correct me if I am wrong here but I am not sure how being on XBOX would mean a better connection than playstation? Surely the COD servers are run by Activision so aside from connecting to the PSN or XBOX server for your account details it would be purely down to Activision servers? That said I think there was a study in the last couple of years that also confirmed that XBOX live has gone down more in the past few years than PSN so reliability is not necessarily better (not by much from memory but even so it somewhat disputes the xbox network being flawless comment).

I just wanted to give the PS3 a bit of praise, I have been playing game of thrones on it the past couple of days, (not the telltale game) and really enjoying it. Just going back to the PS3 and yes the system itself is a bit ropey in that the dashboard is a bit sluggish and it can be prone to the odd slowdown I just wanted to praise that generation of gaming. I think for most people on here it is an era where you were playing xbox 360 games and generally it was the better console but I have quite the fondness for the PS3 and was the era where I actually had a love in with call of duty (back when we could end a game with a nuke). That said I have a red PS3 (the one below is just a generic image off the tinterweb) and sitting alongside the ps5 the design of the physical console is so much nicer - It's a hell of a lot smaller but just looks lovely. But yeah I thought this era brought about some of our best franchises to date, it's where the last of us started, demons souls turned up, we saw mass effect, uncharted, gears of war and the assassins creed games turn up as well.

I won't be on I am afraid, bit of a tough week as my aunt died a couple of days ago. Being a fairly close Irish family it's hit home a little. Might catch you guy's the weekend if my mood improves a bit!
