I mean it's gotta be Terminator hasn't it - You can see how much love and passion has gone into the game....And as someone old enough to remember Terminator Vs RoboCop on the MegaDrive, 2D No Fate has definitely been a long time coming 🙂
I know absolutely nothing when it comes to tech stuff - like for instance I'd see one group of specs, then see another different set of specs and I'd have no idea which is best 😐...That said, I'm assuming the Rog Ally (X) has certainly got some juice to it, presumably which will allow it to last...On another note - a lot of folk are saying Xbox is dead and done....My guess atm, is far far from it 🙂
Sadly Clair Obscur just didn't do it for me (could be I just suck at it maybe 🤔) however, there have been a few highlights; Kingdom Come 2 and AC Shadows...Bearing in mind there's a few I've not played yet, like Silksong and Ninja Gaiden 🙂
I've got say, 5 is definitely the high point for me....3, while good, just never really jelled with me like it did with other folk....4, just kinda felt like a time filler, and yeah I agree, 6 was definitely a low point 🙂
Ya know the amount of crap people continue to spew re: Veilguard, I can't help but chuckle at...So I'm only at Neve's relic quest part 2 (around 6hrs in) and while no where near the masterpiece that Origins is, it's certainly the best sequel atm 🙂
The cancellation of Perfect Dark was just a darn good chuckle and it is in fact really still happening 🙄😄...That and maybe we finally get some release dates...Fable, Clockwork Revolution, State of Decay 3 and Gears E Day, I'm looking at you....Also, something about Forza Horizon 6 would be nice 🙂
I mean, if the rumours are true and the next gen console/ROG Handheld has Steam integration, then they'll be no worries - whatever PS game comes PC, we'll be able to play as well 🙂
My guess is - either shows up incredibly late, or doesn't bother showing up at all; meaning having to wait frig knows how long for the next one - ya know, like real life 🙄😄
@Elbow Yeah I think the last deal from my point of view that was of any benefit, was nearly three months ago - since then, practically piss all 🙄....On the plus side, I've discovered YouTube doing decent deals, so at least there's that 🙂
Forgetting the games for a sec - what the hell is going on with the film/TV sales?? Last few months now, it's just been a piddly couple dozen that last about a month, then it's another measly small handful, lasting another near month 🙄
You absolute son of a bitch - one of the best highlights from last year's showcase, now cancelled 😡....If the gaming industry continues like it is, we could be seeing another crash a la 1983 😔
@Ricky-Spanish As I say, for me it's always just after the prologue heist, but it could be shortly after...Put simply, if you get into freeplay after you get to Shaundi's flat (after the armoury section) without any bother, then you're laughing 🙂
@Ricky-Spanish does it still crash after the Saints get arrested after the prologue?? Kept doing that every time on my X, yet on the One completely fine 😐
Ya know, last year, gaming was such a huge disappointment - Barely a week past Easter, and we're already looking at one of the all time greats - Definitely up there with the likes of 1998, 2009 and 2011 🙂
@Kaloudz tbh SoD3 is just taking the piss (I dare say even worse than VMB2)...Yeah re: Fable; surely we'll be getting a date at this point... Hopefully we'll also see more of Perfect Dark and Gears E Day, though think it's too early for release dates for either of them two 🙂
@Kaloudz Ya know it's been 8yrs this September when Shadow of War came out - It baffles how we haven't had a great Middle Earth game since (never forget Gollum existed) ....Will the Shire game be worth the wait?? It damn well better 😄🙂
@Fenbops sorry my bad - by going back to basics, I meant go back to the drawing board, go back to what made Halo work in the first place and the like 🙂
Gotta be Veilguard for me....Yeah its not the masterpiece Origins is, but 50hrs in, I can honestly say there's been no complaints rendering the amount of hate it received being completely unjustified 🙂
It looks fine I suppose, I just hope the baddies aren't as terrible as last time...I'm not asking for a copy/paste of Handsome Jack - Just something I enjoy hating, rather than just hating 🙂
Four years old, and only £50 off from the £480rrp?? I'm sorry but at this point during the 360 reign, you could pick up a used console for £50...Yet the Series consoles - even with Black Friday - the absolute best is around £300...I know inflation has done a lot of heavy lifting here, but this really isn't good enough 🙂
Well the deals have been underwhelming: Obsidian, Bethesda and ActiBlizz just really haven't done anything yet (at least worthwhile)...We're still getting screwed on timed exclusives (seriously, why do they even still exist) ...In all honesty - at mid point - pretty disappointing....Still, at least MS didn't try flogging us an overpriced graphics upgrade, so there's that 🙂
So is Spencer still head honcho or is Duncan?? - I think we can all agree Phil's decisions as of late haven't exactly been for the players....I know that's Playstations slogan, but even so 😕
Not once have I been able to advance beyond easy mode on Dragon Age without getting annihilated (same for BG3 as it goes)....hopefully this time everything will turn out tickety boo 🙂
Ya know I actually quite enjoyed the Scarface game - Trouble was, Vice City was still pretty new therefore rendering SF quite redundant...I reckon fresh graphics, tweak the gameplay and I reckon it should be a blast 🙂
@Markatron84 to be fair gaming was still pretty much in its infancy back then - not to mention still in recovery from the industry strike of 1983...These days you'd think there was more money and talent to throw into a game 🤔
Back in the early 90s when I was about 5 or 6, I remember playing sonic on my Master System (I wanted a mega drive but alas that had to wait a few years 🙄) and I remember feeling quite charmed by it...So how is it, kids games from 30+ yrs can get it right, yet modern games, you get pig awful stuff like this?? 🙂
