Luseth

Properly enjoyed last nights games, abit hit and miss but it was good to get on the scoresheet and actually do some half decent midfield play at points 🤣 GG's!

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 ^_^

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! 🙂 
 
 

Not to mention the fact that they will clearly release an Oled version further down the line as an new improved version when there's nothing stopping them from doing that now. Capitalism at it's finest, profits over people, don't you just love it when they rinse us for every penny 🙂
 
I also see that pre-orders have been delayed in the US due to tariffs 🫠

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...

Shite 

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!

I'll probably be home tomorrow evening so I could be up for a wander 🙂 
I do that myself, I hate rushing through these games, I like to soak up the atmosphere, and collect components for crafting.

Not so bullet spongey any more, much, much less than Density.
I reinstalled and found that 10 extra levels have been added. Was 30, now 40 I think. I'm already at 34, I forgot how much fun I have with this game.

@Antpool84 was literally on fire last night!! Couldn't put a foot wrong and they couldn't handle his runs, crosses or shots! Big up to Josh too, played a corker outfield for some games and I recall an incredible stop in goal when it was behind him. Ridiculous.

We only really get on once a week at the moment but I am thoroughly enjoying this. It is filling the void that battlefield has left since BFV which is great. Obviously less destruction but that is sort of mitigated by the base building.
 
You can see how many players still do not understand the logistical side of things around the supplies and such, it can be a bit frustrating when someone spawn's in and nicks off with all the supplies by bringing in vehicles, loadouts and such while you are trying to build up a base.
 
We did take a beating last time we were on, similarly I don't think the group I play with fully appreciates a well built up base. A group joined the Soviet side and came in and took half the map rather quickly as they took out the radio beacons to prevent spawns and the bases had no ai and such to defend them.
 
For the first time in a shooter sniping is incredibly satisfying too, but the ai leave room for improvement. Getting one shotted at sniper range by someone holding an AK is absurd.
 
I have had one go in the chopper and for some reason it locked my camera once I took off and I could not turn it round at all which made it particularly difficult, still somehow managed to land it with only 1 guy in my squad dying (but he did jump out before I had landed so his own fault!)

Hi Kohken,
 
I think I have heard of Nexgen before but can't recall where. I tend to prefer forum's still as I like a good thought out conversation, forum's tend to provide an outlet for that compared to modern day social media. That said some of the cr*p that get's spouted here can be just as bad so I will apologise in advance!
 
There are a friendly bunch here albeit can sometimes be a little quiet as a lot of the group tend to forget the site is more than just the whatsapp groups!
 
But yeah tell us about you and what you are into and such! And welcome!

Have completed this on both PS and PC, really enjoyed the game. Only did the dlc on PC though from what I remember.
 
Did mostly solo but i do remember a few sessions with Lee 🙂
 
If you're struggling for people give me a shout, I'm sure I'd love to play again.

How's it going? Tired of bookface so wanted to join a good old fashioned forum, anyone else used to be on the nexgen and digitalhobby forums? 

Some more Reforger. I was pretty decent piloting choppers in Arma 2 and 3, but I'm definitely out of practice.
 
 

I had meant to put up a post and forgot about it!
 
It looks absolutely bonkers but sometimes the bonkers ideas can be the best! I feel it's worth a look when it comes out.

@Luseth shown me this the other day as it got annouced in the Steam reveals....what in the crazyland is happening I do not know but could be hilarious!
 
FEAR FA 98 on Steam
STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM FEAR FA 98: Silent Hill mixed with FIFA 98. Use your enemies' heads as the ball, use knives, and summon demons! the very first survival horror soccer simulator!. Play against the computer, or the classic local mode...  
Demo is available on PC!

So, I gave it a brief go and played the first few hours. It's better than some of the reviews were suggesting I think. In fact I would go so far as to suggest reviewers are doing the common thing of picking out a game similar or made by the same dev's etc and just comparing the 2 and when a feature is not in the newer game they complain about it, with no consideration as to whether or not it is a design choice or such.
 
I won't be playing the game fully just yet with the other games I have on (I am letting my game pass lapse this month), I need to start completing some games but I will come back to it I think at some point.
