Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 3rd)

LocalPenguin

Sea of Thieves Friday night, standard.
Last night I tried Bug Fables which is very good (take some notes Paper Mario) and then rolled the credits on Space Jam.
I was very pleasantly surprised! Now, I love basketball, Loony Tunes, Beat em Ups, retro gaming and Space Jam. It ticks a lot of boxes haha
Tonight I'll play some Limbo as it's superb.
In all the gaps I'll play Monster Hunter Rise 😁

Re: Sea Of Thieves: A Pirate's Life Is Getting Another Hotfix Next Week

LocalPenguin

My friends and I finished the second and third TTs last night and had an absolute blast.
I won't spoil it, but there's a scene at the end of the third that is so hype and actually rather emotional.
You would have to be seriously invested already in the SoT lore and it's characters for it to land. If that's you though and it does hit, it hits hard ☺️

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Sonic Game On Xbox?

LocalPenguin

@TJ81 Haha amazing!
Yeah I had a bunch that got given away with various magazines etc.
The death of printed media (for the most part) is a sad thing. Getting that new Mean Machines or NMS magazine was amazing.
We're definitely getting (got??) old mate haha
But, what a time to be alive 😊

Re: Halo Infinite's First Multiplayer Season Will Be 'Heroes Of Reach'

LocalPenguin

You know, it's been many years since I've fired up my Xbox to see my friends list all playing the same game (apart from my one mate who played nothing but Hexic lol) and it's fitting that it's Halo that will bring that back.
Knowing you always have a mate online ready to chat and play some Halo is one of the most exciting aspects for me. I cannot wait for a return to those beautiful Halo days of old 😍

Re: Rare Rolling Out Sea Of Thieves Hotfix Later Today

LocalPenguin

Fantastic news.
My friends and I hit the seas like we always do on Friday nights and tried out the first of the new Tall Tales. Absolutely fantastic 😊
Not the usual 'anything could happen' you get from a typical night but the narrative focus was a great change of pace.
Some awesome set pieces, incredible music and stunning vistas. Can't wait to play the rest once they're fixed 😁

Re: Rare Addresses Potential Sea Of Thieves Crossover 'Concerns'

LocalPenguin

The Goonies!! 😍
My friends and I play this game every Friday night and it's an absolute blast.
Never a dull moment and there's always something that has us crying with laughter.
We've been playing since almost day one and have never got bored. If you have a group of like minded mates, I thoroughly recommend it ☺️

Re: Reaction: This Year's Shaky E3 Was Held Up By Xbox And Nintendo

LocalPenguin

Whether the shows themselves are good or bad really doesn't matter too much to me.
What's important is the way E3 brings gamers together.
For the last few days my friends and I have been discussing this, that and everything in between. Making Top 5 lists, highs and lows etc.
While we also still discuss gaming daily, during E3 it has a special feeling to it ☺️

Re: Elden Ring Finally Gets Its Gameplay Reveal, Releasing January 2022

LocalPenguin

Absolutely mind-blowing stuff.
When Geoff was doing it's intro I was expecting to be disappointed, he was REALLY bigging it up.
But the second it started and I realised what was happening, goosebumps from head to toe! 😁
The trailer is phenomenal, utterly perfect and I have no reason to believe the game won't be too.
Miyazaki has never let us down 😊
