@Raffles who cares about a fireball when you can literally rip out someone's spine π....also you could give me all the time in the world and I'd maybe be able to name half dozen SF characters....gimme half hour and I could name all the MK characters....the ones that matter anyway π
Call it blasphemy but I really can't be bothered with RD1 - Now, even though RD2 is superb - I grew up with GTA right from minute zero back in 1997, so pretty easy choice for me there π
No doubt IGN will be doing their bit - I'm sure those familiar always see stuff like: xxxx ending explained or how to do this this and that...then 5mins later they'll get on their high horse and try protect people from spoilers π
Mankind divided for just shy of Β£4....just running through human revolution atm so shouldnt be long....also picked up gotham knights and cyberpunk....what a waste of Β£45 that was π
@mulder00 you mean aside from resident evil 4 remake, Hogwarts, dead space (which ok, is actually there) and I'm sure there's a few others Iv not mentioned π
Something I can't get my head around - so what happens if approval gets a majority vote, does that mean all's a go, or is it a case of those who voted against (ie UK at the moment) are the ones where any perks from the deal doesn't apply to that country??
We all love Vaas, there's no question there - but best game in the series?? I don't think so...for a start, there's no grapple, can't get up a moderately steep hill (even in a car/quad), no parachute/wing suit till about an hour before the end, Jason and friends are nothing but rich, entitled morons, and at times - even when you have the best possible gear/weapons - some parts of the game can feel incredibly cheap π
Something tells me I'm not alone here - but can timed exclusives kindly **** off...either make a game exclusive or MP - don't needlessly make people have to miss out π
@UndyingInsurgent95 even though I've only just got my series x (and you can definitely tell the difference between 30 and 60) Iv spent the last near decade playing in 30, so I reckon I should be tickety boo π
@Fiendish-Beaver that's exactly what I mean re: R* ..coz they're raking it in, why bother making anything else?? Bioware and Bethesda - I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one π
Bioware hasn't had a win since Mass Effect 2, Bethesda with Skyrim, Rockstar barely cranks anything out more than once a decade, and now Rocksteady release this garbage... seriously what the hell is going on π
@Kezelpaso bought and downloading right now - however, should the game end up being poo; me and you will be having a wee little chat...or I'll just tut and try get my money back I don't know π
@GuyinPA75 I absolutely agree - I'm no tech expert (I can just about get where I'm going and that's pretty much it), but seriously why are the frames so important...so long as the game runs smoothly then why should it matter if it's only 30?? π
@FraserG wasnt it announced some weeks ago - 21st October?? Just had a look and it would appear I'm a massive donut... coming to Xbox but not GPU...so yeah, my bad βΊοΈ
@Zucaritas even there, I wouldn't put as a high ranker... though yeah I suppose pretty decent on series/ps5 π€ still, absolutely no sympathy - on the basis of one game (ie Witcher 3...imo very overrated), people labeled CDPR as the 2nd coming...bet they feel like a right donut now π
@OliverOwen ok firstly: The origin stories...we were led to believe it would rival dragon age?? Nothing more than a 20min intro...all the cool side stuff...where is it??...keanu reeves being the games USP...barely in it...so yeah, i see your point - game of the century right there π
