Luseth

I would like to get it but I think my issue is time as well, my weeknights are mostly filled up with one thing or other at the moment gaming with various people and this is one of those I have a feeling I would be playing on my own and I only get a night or 2 for that sort of gaming ^_^ 
 
Maybe pick it up but I don't know when and I will wait for initial reviews on launch.

Unfortunately I had issues with my machine and lost the 2 weeks before this Monday just gone. I have updated with this week's stats though and just wanted to say well played all, there were some cracking results and 9-1 in a pro clubs match in Division 2 is not something we have done in a long while, well done on you all sitting forwards for that one!
 
 

There was a beta weekend nearly 2 weeks ago for console. I was away so couldn't try it out. Did anyone else try it at all?
 
It definitely looks like one of those games you could play for an hour just to pass the time. Similar to Rocket League feeling. Its not a game you'd play all night, but I think thats a good thing its not targeted to be anything that it isn't.

You are only allowed to play that class if you roleplay as such and create videos for all of FG to watch

I mean when you consider the reports of the RAGE engine it's meant to be better than Unreal 5 and Unreal 5 is pretty incredible so there is every possibility that yes it will ^_^
 
Even if it turn's out to be £100 I think I will be ok playing that pending reading a few reviews, when I consider how many hours I put into the last GTA and it would be a game I play for 5 years ish with online then it would still be fairly good value for money. I think that's how I need to start looking at games more to justify the price increases and actually think twice before buying games I'm not sure I will enjoy until they arrive on one of the subscription services or something.

Stats have been updated again, this includes stats from last week and the week a little while back that Ant noted down for me 🙂 
 

Definately a cash grab on people who have never bought into the Xbox ecosystem, can't see any other reason for it. The current remaster play's fairly well so I don't understand why you would pick this up unless you had just solely stayed on playstation. I do wonder if we may see this released on the Switch 2 as well?

Those 8 months are to help people save up to pay £100 or whatever it's going to cost 🫠

Still end up being cheaper than the latest Assassin's Creed Deluxe Edition or the new FIFA Ultimate Edition🤣

Played this for about 7 or 8 hours last night on Ps5. I want my $40 back.
 
Minigames for everything? I get you can turn them off, but why?
 
The Data Spike minigame is the worst, the Coolant for your blaster is close though.
 
Kay randomly jumps on to every surface she can when I am playing. Which makes it being a cover shooter sort of tricky.
 
The speeder driving is garbage.
 
I am going to give it another go here today, but I am going to dig into the Accessibility options to see if there is something there that's turned on that shouldn't be for all this crap.

10 games, 10 wins. Stonking performances whilst having a right good laugh last night! GGFG!

Stats updated from last week, sorry for the delay guys!

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?

I'm very happy with it so far, and I'm getting 80 fps on medium settings at 1440p.
I aside from a couple of niggles I think they have exceeded my expectations. I'm playing this on gamepass right now but as soon as I see it for 40 quid or less I'm picking up the Steam version.
 
 

And it's released 🙂
 
50 quid on Steam but I've got the PC GamePass so it's installing already.
 
I'll probably buy it on Steam if i like it...

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.

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?

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!

A pretty comprehensive review
 
 

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 🫠
