Still don’t understand what it is that makes these consoles “professional” or indeed designed for professional use. It’s a pi*s poor joke of a name, frankly. But, sure, why not.

@riceNpea and kidney stones

I will say I am glad they announced it this early because I was sick of pictures of Trevor and co being used in GTA6 news articles. Glad to see the back of that.

@HUMPERDOO aw!

Ooooo let me be that guy and say GTA1 + 2 are not isometric, but top down. Feels so good.

@Ward_ting generally yes but Rockstar tend to get that sort of social commentary right, it’s just companies like Ubisoft have jaded everyone on it.

As if I didn’t find this game hard enough

I checked out the leaked images, thanks for not posting them here because they are dull as hell!

You’d think it may need a rebrand at some point, then, but that’s a risky move!

Jumping between Tears, Pillars of Eternity 2 and Bravely Second. Really want GT7 but going to hold off until nearer Christmas.

@JeongersGaming ah. I do struggle to see how this could “bring people back”, then? Not having a dig, just guess it’s not for me. Maybe I’d like it if I gave it a proper go. Trying to remember if custom skins on Counter Strike were ever a massive draw for me, I seem to recall I had fun with them tbh.

I am not being critical, but what do these new skins actually mean for the game? Do they change up the gameplay with different abilities etc or is it literally just to make your character look different?

@Luigia I am like that now with the standard Airpods.. but I really had to push through the initial pain lol.

It's a bit of a weird one with some earbuds. I had a pretty horrible time adapting to the newer Airpods versus the 1st gen type. Couldn't wear them for more than 45 minutes without them hurting but after a month or so my ears just got used to them.

Oh nice. Can’t believe it’s already been 20 years since the sequel was announced. Here’s to another 20!

@AdamNovice yeah was gunna say, would be pretty great if they loaded each episode with a few crazy bugs. A character T posing in the background, or whatever.

I finally got every light root in TOTK - it dawns on me that I’ve just made the environment down there a lot nicer for Yiga and the various monsters, and no doubt massively increased their productivity. Mission..accomplished..?

I’m playing Bravely Second again. Third attempt to finish this one. I keep bouncing off it after 30-40 hours. I don’t know why, I am loving it. I know the writing is really off the wall but it actually cracks me up. The game is so much better than Bravely Default 2, they really cocked that one up.

Also the 3DS is such a cool machine.

Will they, won’t they. Gosh, this is so exciting.

Major flaw in your argument - if it doesn’t make sense for Sony to make a Vita 2, they are pretty much guaranteed to do it. The fact we haven’t had one probably suggests it’s a good idea!

Jumping between TOTK and Diablo 4!

@Gremio108 Big Boss says holidays are coming

Probably Baldurs Gate, but for me it’s Tears. To take nothing away from TOTK, it’s probably too similar to BOTW to win the top award and I can kinda appreciate that.

@silverspeed nice one, just checked and I can see physical GT7 is on sale.. might have to find the funds for that low, low price (£30 at Argos, where are you seeing it?)

Ah nice, GT7. I have not seen it on sale before. Unfortunately can’t budget for it right this moment. Hopefully it comes up again around Christmas…

I got Diablo 4 physical for £35 the other week - quite enjoying it!

I would like to get one, but I reckon it’s overpriced by a couple of hundred quid

For real though, it has no value to me - I can see it for others BUT lack of BT is a massive omission for many people. What were Sony thinking?

Game pass ready!

Yeah, it’s got to be Divinity OS3!

It’s certainly quieter than my PS4. And I like that the turbo drive let me play Pillars 2 without the insane 2 minute load times. Not much else to say unfortunately!

Damn it!

First!!!

Diablo 4 for me, level 26 barbarian on the go so early days but enjoying it enough.

Also started a new Mario Odyssey play through on Switch, so, so good. Can’t wait for the next Nintendo console.

Been thinking about a Steamdeck this week too (Half Life is also calling me!). The new ones sound cool.

Ah, I fell off it going into Act 2. I just found the story to be a bit of a jumble and overall uninteresting. I’ll give it a while longer and start over. A shame as I am a big fan of the OS games, Baldurs Gate 1, Pillars of Eternity…

My game of the year is TOTK. I really enjoyed BOTW but Tears is another level for me. 200 hours and I still have plenty to do. Of course quantity doesn’t mean quality but I mention the length of time I’ve played it because I can hardly believe I have sunk so much time into a game without getting bored. Usually half that time is my fill!

I’m 60 or so hours into my second Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire play through, I fired it up for a quick go while playing Baldurs Gate 3 as it had got me thinking about it, and ended up dropping BG3 for it! I do much prefer the story, lore, writing, setting, graphics, music and characters in Deadfire, I must say. Looking forward to going back to BG3 at some point though.

Also I fancied playing Resident Evil 3 remake again, so downloaded the PS5 version. I actually enjoyed this more than the Resi 2 remake. Jill is the best, the Nemesis chase sections are fun (where as Mr X’s constant presence becomes quite annoying) and the game is just nice and breezy.

I couldn’t wait, so moved my standard PS5 a few inches further away from the sofa and burnt £500 in the garden

Max Payne 1, 2 and 3 are all most excellent - all over remakes of these games, but of course a new instalment is what I really want…

Dead Space 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, well up for a remake on that. Sure, DS3 needs a lot of work.

I'm less concerned with it really, looking at games as a more transient experience - you can't hold on to everything. Of course, it'd be nice if the industry made a larger collective effort, and I enjoy being able to play older games when I have the means.

I wonder if Ozzy Osbourne is still using his

Same thing as the SOTC remake, really. Some of that PS2 dreaminess is inevitably lost. It’s ok, though. No way those animals will look as good as they do in game, I bet.

@Spider-Kev good air quality though I bet.

@NotSoCryptic “You should see what they do to a ps3 these days.”

I know, it’s crazy.

Who the hell has internet access these days..?

@Broosh when you see it, make sure you go ! …”just a box.”

Nah. I love these games, but played them to death over the years and no real inclination to go back to them anymore. It’s easy to just play them in my head or skim through a YouTube video. Maybe one day.

Number 2 is the best, it’s really on another level - it’s just so out there, but 1 is my favourite.

@Falcon94 well, I feel stupider than usual! Cheers though, that’s good news for me.

@Falcon94 I actually thought you couldn’t play it, at all, without PS+. I’m sure I looked into that. What’s the situation then??

I’ve yet to get it, but it’s a matter of when and not if.. having missed the launch it kind of makes sense to give it another 6 months or so. Although, I did say I’d grab it over Christmas - perhaps that will still stand!

Having finally played through Diablo 1 this year I’d at least like to experience the story to round them all out.

The two things that put me off, to be honest, are the level scaling and the PS+ requirement. I don’t mind it being always online, but I haven’t subbed in ages and to pay monthly to play D4… I dunno.

@Northern_munkey that’s all part of the ruse!

@ShogunRok ❤️

@ShogunRok I pay your bloody wages mate.
