@datamonkey Aah Project Gotham; To my knowledge the only game series you can import your own music into the soundtrack ๐ also, probably the last game I had the pleasure of couch co-op...I've made peace with that fact, and I ain't going back now ๐
@janineking well I'll take your word for it; however if that turns out to be pig swiggle, I'll be coming for ya ๐....Or I'll just tut and move on, I don't know ๐
Although it's well and truly on my radar; I mean come on, it's Arkham gameplay across a multitude of Bat lore ๐...Sadly I've always thought Lego games were pretty easy, and that's really what's putting me off right now ๐
@slabula Nah not really...the rog can integrate with many store fronts and acts as a mini power pc...so yeah - think the steam decks pretty much redundant now imho ๐
After that absolutely stunning Everybody wants to Rule the World trailer (still one of the all time greats btw), what a shame the game came nowhere near the brilliance we expected....A decade+ and a new update later - nothing really has changed ๐
Keep swimming, keep swimming, head to the surface for air, jump over a rock Free WIlly style, return to the depths, avoid sea urchins, fight a shark, have absolutely no idea what to do next, just keep swimming ๐๐
Prince of Persia remake - multiple delays, now gone Splinter Cell remake - multiple delays, narrowly avoids expulsion Black Flag remake - Ubi seriously dragging their heels...we all know it exists; just give us a look - it's all we're asking for ๐๐
@CallMeDuraSouka If you know your gaming history you'll know there was an industry crash back in 1983....Took Nintendo and Mario in 86, more or less single handed to rescue gaming....Now with what you mentioned, not to mention other things like souring prices; I'm worried history may end up repeating itself ๐
So way back when, releases to sequels happened after only a few years and still came out pretty damn great (for the most part)...And on inferior hardware
Nowadays you're lucky if developers release a sequel within the next decade...And this is despite having far more money and superior hardware
Someone really needs to explain this, cos I am genuinely baffled ๐ค
You'd think since they still look pretty damn good after 20yrs, why not just release the entire Greek era in one package (especially since Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus only released on the PSP) instead of doing remakes ๐ค๐
So yet another multiplayer shooter, how exciting ๐....I know I'm probably showing my age, but by God do I long for the days of quality SP shooters; Half Life, Soldier of Fortune, Unreal Tournament, Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein (Return to Castle being my personal favourite) ๐
I know this article is predominantly about Star field; God knows why - the game sucks ๐....But over and over I keep seeing how C2077 is this amazing masterpiece - I must be playing a different game to everyone else then coz I couldn't disagree more if I tried ๐
I wonder how the fanboys/girls would react if say God of War or Uncharted were to one day come to Xbox... Seriously, it's a genuine question....The people cheering on Xbox games coming to PlayStation, are the same people enacting the "this game is purely PlayStation, Xbox can sod off" mantra..
Obviously I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist ๐
Knee deep in fatty snacks, halfway through my crate of VK (that's alcopops for those not in the know), dinners brewing for 2pm and I'm busting my way through the Citadel in Mass Effect....To my fellow gaming brothers and sisters who are in a similar situation, I salute you ๐ซก......And obviously Merry Christmas too ๐ค
Larian strike me as team that utilise their manpower rather well - it's hard to imagine AI cooking up the Div games and BG3, while simultaneously making Larian the darlings of the gaming world ๐ค
@SeaDaVie hmm that's definitely odd - I even looked online and it more or less confirmed it was point and click ๐....Maybe an update was introduced - I think it was around COVID time I picked it up, so possibly ๐ค
So I tried the Div games shortly after buying BG3 and was rather disgruntled to find you can't manually walk around, you have to point and click - so I got a refund
Was that rather petulant... Possibly
Am I tempted to rebuy, even though a serious amount of tutting may be involved... You're darn toot'n ๐
Absolutely cannot wait for No Fate....Being old enough to remember Terminator vs RoboCop on the MegaDrive; I can definitely say this new one has been a long time coming ๐
@graymamba A lot of people disregard Pre-Sequel, but personally I found it hell of a lot more fun than 1 and 3 combined ๐...Only drawback really is you'll get most everything done in about 14hrs ๐
It doesn't surprise me Outer Worlds 2 is underperforming - Good enough yeah, but hardly set the world on fire.... personally, Obsidian really need to buck their ideas up ๐
Coz I'm a glutton for punishment I thought I'd do a run through Mafia 3... Apart from that, just chipping away at BG3, Oblivion, Veilguard, Quake 2 and Shadows ๐
@Northern_munkey Ya know I don't think I ever played Bad Company ๐ค...But yeah, 6 certainly seems to making all the right noises atm, but nah as I said, I think I'm done ๐
I doubt there's any truth to this - according to sources, the next gen Xbox will have Steam integration; meaning any PS games releasing on PC will be playable on Xbox.... Taking that into account Microsoft will be daft letting that go ๐
I really can't understand the delay - Ok so it's more of a sleeper hit, than a big heavyweight; however, you'd still think the reviews would have been up by now ๐
@Bsb56 Yeah, does beg the question - why not just start at the beginning ๐ค....That, and Greek mythology is much more fascinating than Norse imo ๐
And yet when FromSoft release a new game thats pretty much exactly the same (ok, Sekiro has the samurai setting, and Bloodborne has the Gothic, so fair enough at least they stand out) everyone's lining up to kiss their backside; but it's FromSoft, so they get a free pass?? ๐ค
I've decided enough is enough and I'm finally gonna try get all the Riddler stuff done in Knight ๐...Other than that I'm,. doing a GTA run, whilst chipping away at Shadows, Veilguard, Oblivion and KCD2 ๐
@graymamba I go back to Origins regularly too and can't say I agree with the frame rate issues, as it always seems fine for me ๐ค...Do agree with the Mage Tower section - initially I absolutely hated that part - over these last 15+ years though, it's definitely warmed on me ๐
I highly doubt I'm the first to say this, but after the absolutely phenomenal BL2, BL3 was such a let down (don't even get me started on those twins), and paired with whatever the hell that movie was - BL4 really needs a miracle here ๐
