Re: Civilization 6's Leader Pass DLC Makes Surprise Appearance on PS4

@Olmaz or you can just use Wikipedia:
Additionally, he unsuccessfully claimed both the Danish throne until 1064 and the English throne in 1066. Before becoming king, Harald had spent around fifteen years in exile as a mercenary and military commander in Kievan Rus' and as a chief of the Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire.

So your right, but could have been resolved by yourself just by searching his name

Re: Tekken 8 Adds New Single Player Mode, Avatar Creation, and Confirms a Bunch of Returning Characters

@JB_Whiting well I came at fighting games way before the films, and I do enjoy them for different reasons. The films for the art, style, story and ability (usually Stunts), the games for those moments when you get unbeatable. Tbh I'm still only good at ssf2t and everything else I don't think I've ever won a match online! I probably just need the practice and time, something which I don't have much of right now but hopefully will start again end of year.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Priced at £25 / $30 on PS5

Hopefully this makes the game into something brilliant rather than just above mediocre (after all the recent patches). The game has potential, but after the initial botch up I'm not sure how many people believe in the game still. Let's see what the reveiws are like, I'm optimistic it can only get better!

Re: Street Fighter 6 (PS5) - Iconic Capcom Fighting Franchise Finds Its Form

Brilliant capcom is not repeating the SF5 launch debarkle, looks like they have gone the oppersit way and provided a great amount out of the box. I wasn't tempted to pre order but I may be tempted for a day one purchase as it does look great. I did enjoy one of the closed beta although I felt the matches could swing very quickly meaning it felt a bit like EA FIFA where a match can swing. Sounds like they have fixed that now. An ideal game for summer and hopefully quick or instant loading times on the ps5 will make this a fighter of choice for now (until Tekken 8)

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September

@OmegaStriver you know what, your right. Thanks for the refresher. I don't believe all first party games were that price, but yes the majority were. Also they have resalability which modern titles do not as much. However I will call out at the time pc games were from £10-30, which is my baseline of pricing. Then Dreamcast was £40, PS4 £50 etc. So the average has been gradually increasing and the format itself is now none existent (digital), so quite frankly it's all about profit and is of little benefit to the consumer.

Re: Diablo 4 Goes Gold Ahead of June Release Date

Shaw_Brothers

So that's still lots of work required post beta. Seems like a day 1 patch to me.

Still tempted to pre order, but I've been playing grim dawn and it's quite fun and filling the lack of diablo. Seeing as I bought diablo 3 at least four times, I suspect I'll defo be getting at some point!

Re: Law Looks Like a Beast in Latest Tekken 8 Gameplay Trailer

Why is everyone so mega pumped on this version and look less like reality? I know Tekken has not been close, but it didn't look so disproportionate as it does in this version. Everyone looks top heavy and would fall with any slight punch. Still, it's been too long since a Tekken game and I'm looking forward to it even if it looks quite wrong.

Re: One of PS5's Best and Most Popular SSDs Now Has an Even Better Successor

Shaw_Brothers

@theMEGAniggle sure. It's insignificantly slower than my friend's one, but only by about 2%, so for the price, it's definitely worth it. I also didn't buy a heatsink - I went with the one provided (in built) and had no issues there.
Copying from the ps5 was fast and like most drives it runs slightly faster than the ps5's internal memory.
Had it about a month, no complaints so far.

Re: Next Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Update Teased for Next Week

Shaw_Brothers

So GT7 isn't a realistic car simulator any more, that probably falls to assetto corsa competizione (which is virtually unplayable without a steering wheel), but with a wheel it gets pretty close, and that's enough. Shame there isn't enough single player content to keep going for months, the menu books are not quite enough. I pre ordered this, completed, and have not really played since. I don't play online because I can't win, and I don't own a steering wheel, so what I can do on this game is pretty limited now. Shame, I bought the ps5 to play it, I thought it would have a complete single player mode like gt1, where I could buy and sell cars for ages, but it's not quite that game yet. Let's hope they add the resale aspect soon!
