“Casey Hudson has left the project”

You know it’s coming

What happened to Carmanchie? Geoff seemed really excited about Carmanchie “ya’ll remember Carmanchie, right?!?” (Cricket sounds)

700 hours playing Age Of Empire 2, only got 10 platinums this year, down from 19…. 26 previous to that. Could it be? could one be finally slowing down from the sickness that is hunting trophies and 100% completions 🤔

No…….you’re breathtaking!

Must say I’ve gotten bored of playing the game now having sunk 200 hours into it. I just keep coming back for one more game but in truth I need to buy something else and wait for some fresh content to be added.

If it’s open world I’m not bothering

I found 4 to be pretty disappointing. It didn’t really have the highs that 1 or 3 had.

More emphasis for them to sack off any remaining talent who are earning more than minimum wage. Rotten company

@species it works once you’re settled into it but when it comes to PVP matches or just doing challenges on harder difficulties where speedy actions are needed you’re pretty much disadvantaged. Saying that, I have had great fun with a controller on AoE2

Portal 3, I’m still holding out for 2 to get re-released seeing how the Switch got a version!

@D6rkLordS6t6n I’m assuming you’ve not seen the Eurogamer review yet? The reviewer just starts going off about the use of A.i and seems to forget to inform readers if it’s a good game to buy or not. Go check it out, my “facepalm” emoticon is my feeling towards it and yes I agree with you

@Steeleye25 it just seems pointless to me to shoot other Raiders. I mean, you’ll eventually be getting the loot that they have on them so it’s not like it’s necessary. Some will trick you into thinking they’re friendly to catch you off guard , they’re the worst but seem to be rare occurrences

@Steeleye25 not been ganged up on yet but there’s a pattern of solo people shooting you as soon as you turn your back on them. Rats

2 out of 5 game 🤦

My big disappointment for the year. Just could not click with this game compared to the first one and stopped half way through. The music was outstanding though

It pays rent to be in the shadow of New Vegas

Resident Evil 9 demo would be nice

..someone will blame Hermun Hulst in the comments post show.

Arc Raiders, decided it will be my 200th platinum trophy.

8 for now but waiting to see if future additions and improvements make the game better seeing how it’s a GaaS product. Love that it’s smaller and more condensed areas of exploration

Simply bobbins!

To my bredrin outside of northern England "Bobbins" is a British slang term for something that is rubbish, worthless, or of poor quality.

Considering that they put the most expensive version front and centre of the games store page and that you have to find and click on the “ … “ option (not obvious to a lot of customers) to find out the price of the base version I think we should all be treating this with a lot of cynicism.

Nintendo no longer charge for online?

Apple Mac version before Microsoft money hats kicked Steve Jobs mood into the red is the choice of all hipster Halo Combat Involved players. /s

Let us not forget after the near 5000 cuts across the Xbox studios

“Microsoft has never been more profitable “ Satya Nadella

My one word review……..Whoa

DB2 - the electro boogaloo chronicles

Put your house on it, my dad works for Nintendo!

Does this mean the buzzing noise of my OG PS5 coil whine will diminish so I can just enjoy the whining buzzing that is tinnitus in my ears?

Why does Patrick instantly make me think of a tattoo-less Tim TheTatman?

It’s the maps that are the only thing that’s stopping me from getting. The ones in the beta were flat and uninteresting. Trying to get a friend to jump into the beta and the first map he tried he got hammered. we both sunk over 1000 hours into the flawed 2042 but it at least it had some really fun maps. It concerns me that none of the maps In the BF6 beta had anything memorable happening within them that made me want to tell friends “this is a battlefield map!”.

Covid is not affecting supply and chain anymore, let’s put that reasoning to bed now

Just biding my time, not buying now, waiting for the servers and updates to settle down before I buy. FOMO is haram!

That feel knowing you will never be able to clean the inside of one’s own house with a power jet washer and soapy attachments 😞

The updates to the classes are a lot better now than back around season 4. The middle class have a gun (P90) with a fire rate that matches what the small class has. Close combat fights between small and middle were very much one sided affairs if your guns firing output was slow. The heavy class have a portable healing station which can be picked up and reused elsewhere (as with other devices). The game looks so much better with the new palette of colours. You really see things stand out more on the casino map. The walls are a darker colour which makes everything else look sharper. Positive steps forward I feel. Just a shame that it’s still a massive grind for a certain trophy

This was the same argument that they all were preaching together when Google brought out that now defunct streaming device 10 years ago claiming we are moving to a device-less stream future. If a company like Google can’t make it work then it’s not going to happen Michael.

Started playing The Finals again and I have to say it looks even more fantastic than before which for me was around the end of series 5. Has the game had a graphical update? The colours are brighter, the ray tracing sharp and it just looks great even on my low tier 4k tv (one day C4, one day!)

Big disappointment, look I like hard games and I know that if I can’t do a certain section I need to either take a break and come back with a clear head or I need to explore other areas and look for upgrades to my toolset. This game is not fun because of how you are constantly taken back to the last resting spot after a death that it becomes repetitive and boring having to retrace your steps to get back to your death spot only to die again. I have not got the patience or perseverance with this as I just can’t stand having to take the same route back to the spot I messed up over and over again.

6 out of 10

Nine game crashes in the space of two days, they need to fix the games performance

People don’t want big bulky consoles, I really don’t understand why Sony went ahead with the design of the PS5. You place it on a table on its side and the thing looks ugly due to the base being bigger. You can’t slot it in narrow spaces so it has to be in more open spaces. They must have been thinking this console should be a focal point of everyone’s room when people tend to go along a more minimalist approach in how they have their rooms

Oh my god, JC, It’s a bomb bomb bomb bomb

Calling it, THIS will be where we finally got the release date for Silksong!!!

@MFTWrecks oh yes, 1200 hours into the previous Battlefield game and I was recently trying to describe a favourite map, via text, to an online friend. Even now, I can’t think of its name despite getting it online.

They’ve still won trophies during these bad times (you missed out 2 league cups)

Virtua Tennis, Virtua Soccer

I played enough of it the first time round to not want to play again. A masterpiece, from start to end.

MGS1, it needs to be remade!

Kratos and his Dad will make peace with one another come the end of this story.

Hollow Knight 2, going slowly with this one, taking it all in. The atmospheric music is excellent!

Haven’t touched Helldivers 2 in over two years so coming back and seeing all the new things has been fun. Still not a game where I feel I can play for hours. It’s more two or three dives and then I’m off.

Been playing a tonne of AoE:2DE over the past months since release. 700 hours strong including the plat since buying. I’m teasing myself to go full 100% completion. Some of the missions requiring you to complete within a time period seem impossible to do considering you’re using a joypad to make quick decisions and commands

@AdamantiumPriest looks more like Edward kenway from AC4 Black flag

It’s either Leon or Chris 🫤 . Would it hurt for them to maybe explore some of the girls from the series being involved in the modern games or does aging women not sell them copies despite how beloved they are clearly within the community?

Gold mines of potential storylines they could go down with any of the characters and they always resort back to Leon or Chris
