I will bite at this price. Not once has PD made me feel like I need to buy credit unlike EA PGA or PGA2K25. They given countless updates and free content. They deserve my money.
@yume26 as @Northern_munkey stated if you can stretch to a T598 it will blow the logichech of of the water. Its literally night and day difference but it definitely needs bolting down as it has a very heavy base to it.
@yume26 I had the logitech and its a capable wheel. Its not belt driven so will be more clunky and noisy but its still a good experience to get you in to it. I wouldn't bother getting the H pattern gear shift even if your tempted as its just junk. You can get a few cheap mods too to make it feel better.
@yume26 I just have a thrustmaster t598 and one of those stands that the wheel and the pedals bolts to as i sit on my sofa to play using the main family TV. I dont fold mine away when im done. I have a corner of the room where I store it. @Northern_munkey has a dedicated racing seat but obviously that really requires a dedicated space and a dedicated screen.
@Northern_munkey still holding out for that VR? Nice restraint shown there my friend. I've noticed that the eco 32 has gone up in price alot. When we were talking about them 3 months ago you could get one for 160 but im sure that price has gone to over 200 now unless im mistaken. EDIT yes 256 on Amazon now @DonkeyFantasy sounds like a solid choice of wheel there. You will love the expieriewith a wheel.
@Oram77 love it buddy. Its so good. Some of the management side of things annoys me a little like weapon and clothing degradation but overall I'd put it a top 10 game of mine I think. I love the world and the dense forests etc.
@RawnDawn Just make sure to mount it to some sort of stand as that wheel can really kick. I've done so races on GT that have made me feel like I was doing arms day down the gym afterwards ๐คฃ.
@Northern_munkey yeah it always good fun having a race. Need to get the wheel out again soon. Saying that I've not really been gaming alot at all lately. Just dropped off it a bit in general.
@LiamOliver as @Northern_munkey mentioned, have gone from the other route. I've gone from a G29 to the T598 (thanks to Northerns bullying ๐) and I can confirm, like he said, its in a different league of wheel.
Probably not much this weekend. May try and get my weekly races in on GT7 and a little bit of EA WRC or Elden ring but I'm working until 12:30 then going to the cinema to watch Predator, watching the boxing tonight then leaving for Manchester early tomorrow morning with my 14 year to take her to her first gig, The Offspring!! Its a busy one so it much free time.
Not alot this weekend. Got a new cartridge for my record player yesterday so installed that and got it all tracked and aligned and have been blasting some tunes out and just chilling out. I might find some time in the evening but nothing too hectic for me. I'm in "cant be bothered to use my brain" mode when it comes to games lately so alot of Wreckfest.
I'm not subscribed at the moment but generally I think its pretty good. Stray was received well enough and despite my resentment towards EA as of late the WRC game is lots of fun. Not sure about Battle simulator but if its PVP online it wouldn't interest me anyway.
On the say so of a couple of folk on here, Kingdom come deliverence 2. I'm addicted to it. I will probably play some retro gaming on my Miyoo mini too.
I didn't mind these games but the whole warping to different points etc just confused me. The combat was good but I found the level layouts to be frustrating.
As above really. If people are spending time on TikTok that means the aren't playing on a console, then I guess you could call it competition of a sort. You will never get the younger generation off social media tho. Its been baked in to their DNA by now. One social media fad will fade away and be replaced with another. Its a way of life and an addiction. The best thing I did was delete all social media outlets from my life, that includes watching any sort of world news. I feel so much happier now.
How did i miss this reveal? Just watched the trailer and got serious OG God of war and PoP sands of time vibes. This could be an amazing game. Judging from the talent thats working on it, something special is cooking in the oven.
@seinfeldfanatic I see the dino crisis on sale the other day and nearly got it. As someone that like the style of the genre but doesn't like horror games with freaky monsters etc this would be perfect for me. Held off the as it obviously has aged quite alot.
I'm glad they didn't. The reason Shadow was so impactful was because it was a lonesome experience IMO. Vast areas of just you and the Colossus. It was quite a sombre experience to me that really brought out some feelings after slaying a colossus or even as I made my way to them. I think a multiplayer would have changed that tone. Imo one of the best games ever made. Crazy video for the times tho.
@aj21009 I think BP was a bore fest tbh. I didn't like the open world with the nature of what makes burnout burnout. 1-3 were the best with 3 being the pinnacle imo. I loved the crash mode too. That just couldn't be replicated in BP imo.
I think I will be skipping Halo. Fully expect it to be full price with digital only or the standard 1gb on the disk. Glad for those looking forward to to but I've been there done that with this game.
@Ichiban that he will.... until he finds out only 1gb is on the disk or its a GKC on the switch ๐คฃ
Joking aside tho its good they are catering to AM's tastes.
After being persuaded by a few of the guys on here I picked up Kingdom come 2 yesterday. I didn't know what to expect apart from it takes a while to get going. After putting in a few hours last night I can already tell this is going to be a bloody good game and dare I even say one of the best. May get some time on Elden ring and also JP evolution 3. That's if KCD2 let's me.
@Ravix ahhh I get it. Yeah I found out about the wedding, got in a fight then basically dropped in to it and told off you go opening the game up to me. I can see how the wedding could sit in the quest log for quite some time.
@Daan6661 @Ravix @captainsandman @Oram77 I picked up KCD2 today and I've only just got to the bit where you leave the old woman's house and its already feels like its going to be one of the best games I've ever played. Its ridiculously good so far and I've not even started yet lol.
No thanks. It didn't exactly look good when it released. Certainly not interested in playing it 10 years down the road. Good that Switch 2 owners also get it tho but it would appear reading on NL most would have liked New Vegas or 3.
He wouldn't be saying that I MS sold exclusives of PS quantity on their own console. The consolidation not going as they thought was the only reason their hand was forced to go multi platform.
@captainsandman @Oram77 cheers guys. I think I will see if I can grab it soon. I always liked the look of the first one but I just couldn't go for the PS4 version. It didn't look great and apparently didn't run that great either. 2 obviously looks way more polished.
@Oram77 been looking in to getting this over the past couple of months. Is it something I can jump in to without any prior knowledge or gameplay of the first. I don't really fancy going back and playing a PS4 era game.
@Northern_munkey i was waiting for you to pop up with this comment ๐คฃ I thought about the pro too when I first read the header earlier today. I nearly got one the other week with a drive but I held out. This PS6 news has arrived a bit too early and I don't want to buy a pro and then find they are releasing a 6 in less than 2 years time for less.
Done the 10 lap weekly race on GT7 the other night just to lose connection after I crossed the finish line and didn't receive the 500,000 ticket or the race winning. I was pi*'ed to say the least lol. Of course I did it again tho. All my ring doorbells and cameras were having issues tho until the following morning.
MS make it so easy for me to avoid their products. What also gets me that PS always report the news way before PXB does. Do they have a smaller team or something as news on that site is drip fed slower than games on PS premium lol.
Not a huge Tekken or 3d beat em up fan at all really although I did get the plat for T8 but if this becomes available to purchase i think I will buy it to see what the fuss is about. I didn't mind T8 but I just found the amount of moves etc a bit overwhelming.
[EDIT]
Couldn't see it to purchase earlier but its there now.
