If you stream it let me know, I wouldn't mind having a watch, it certainly looks good from what I have seen so far!

Not really surprising, couple the poor console sales with the fact I think they view gaming going to a more streaming based service I would be surprised if we see more than maybe 1 more physical xbox generation and everything going cloud based in the next generation or so for Xbox. The only way this works for Microsoft is to make it so that their content reaches the biggest audience that it can. The other plus for us as PS5 owners is that it may potentially mean Fallout, Elder scrolls etc won't be locked behind Microsoft devices (though with the next releases they may be timed releases).

I will give them a go, I usually do so anyway at some point. Steel Rising I had looked at before as it is by a studio that has produced some games I have quite enjoyed albeit they tend to have issues technically. This is a bit of a souls like game if that takes people's interest but I think at the time the reviews mostly complained about that because it didn't really bring anything new to the table.

If you want full on rpg then Final Fantasy 14 is meant to be really good though I have never gotten round to playing it or elder scrolls online (I picked this up recently and plan to give it a go once I finish Cyberpunk) If you want single player titles that others can hop in on then Badlurs Gate, Elden Ring maybe. If you want games similar to destiny then maybe the division 2, Outriders (it didn't quite take off but I enjoyed it), deep rock galactic but I think you need a squad or Helldivers 2 comes out in a week and I think that's going to do pretty well.

I will put my loadout up a little later on, that said I cant believe you are using anything other than the Bas-P unless you are camo collecting 😁

I couldn't ask for a more informative review 😛

Ironically, if you look at the original pokemon and compare them to the monsters in early dragon quest games you will see that this is just the same arguement again. For that reason alone I kind of hope it costs them millions in court only to lose anyway. I grew up loving the pokemon series and do still enjoy it but as far as business practice goes they have not innovated until recent years, they have churned out the same game disguised under different artwork for years and years and made a fortune from it, they needed a kick up the arse ^_^

Isn't that similar to how Playstation rewards works? How tesco clubcard points works etc etc? Albeit not with handing back rights to a video game but you purchase something, they give you points and then when you have accumulated enough you then exchange that for a voucher?

I don't see why Sega would even consider making a new console, reading that letter it is a letter wrote after someone has just played their old sega for the first time in 30 years.... Physical media is coming to an end, there are positives to physical and I am a big fan of owning and collecting it but I do not see how we can continue to make physical media in a world with limited resources and the issues creating physical items brings about. This will ultimately bring about the end of physical consoles in the way that they are today and Microsoft can see this and have been getting ahead of the curve with their streaming service and subscription offerings. Sony have also cottoned I think now and that is what the PS Portal is about, a dedicated streaming device, I suspect the PS Portal 2 will be standalone and just stream titles from PS Plus. I even think Nintendo will get caught out if they don't consider things going forwards, people have a lot less money today to keep committing to paying full price for Nintendo First Party titles (even when they have been out a number of years). There is also the R&D costs to create a new console today, I don't think Sega have anywhere near the funds to achieve creating something new and different. Correct me if I have misread this Lee but some things we do, fashion for example but not all, do you really think USB's or physical hard drive's will keep going as more and more people move to cloud storage? When was the last time you bought Microsoft word on a disc? Vinyl has come back but that's because it has made listening to music more of an activity again, you have to take your time and you savour it more but you would not see cd's or tapes make the same sort of return. While video game's, the activity is playing them, not many people (especially in the modern world) appreciate the manuals, appreciate the box art and such, it's niche to collector's and that's why collector's editions of games still do well. I think physical media has largely been kept alive by the ability to buy and sell second hand for a while.

Hi @Andy_White_07 welcome aboard! There are quite a few COD / Fifa players here, typically Monday nights are pro clubs nights if you fancy joining us sometime! On COD we mostly play multiplayer, we have a couple of good players here so if you get on with them your win/ loss ratio should start ticking upwards and COD tends to be the go to game if there isn't a specific event set in the events section. Anyway yeah the forum can be a little quiet sometimes but that's because the whatsapp tends to be fairly busy with people talking nonsense 😄 But yeah glad to have you aboard!

I paid for game pass for the month to give it a try and it is really good fun, it might give the pokemon dev's a bit of a kick up the backside, that said I can see the blatant rip off's of the pokemon monsters which is really poor in my eyes. It can't be that difficult to come up with new one's surely?

Good choices, that said I think 10 still holds up fairly well today with the PS4 remaster ^_^ Have played it a couple of times since the original launch.
