19 Feb 2021 10:23:08
Yeah dying light was a great game ,shame to see dying light 2 seems to be in development hell ,wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up canned

ARK II has been announced, the trailer is totally cringe(They got Vin Diesel in it...) so I won't subject you to that but I think a new game is the best way to go.
The engine for the current game is heavily modified and just awful to work with. There are many bugs which are just can't be fixed because of the engine, so starting fresh makes complete sense to me.
Hoping for a more polished version of what we have now, with a few extra things and different maps, then perhaps future updates can bring in all new mechanics and ideas.

Any Gears fans on here ? Gears 5 on series X is really good. The enhanced version really does make a difference.
20 Dec 2020 12:20:53
Never played any of the Gears games however always thought they looked rather enjoyable. Gears 5 is supposed to be an excellent game so I will most likely end up playing at some point. Do you recommend I play from the beginning (don't have much time) or just play Gears 5 for a good experience?
20 Dec 2020 14:29:12
The story is pretty good but you could easy play gears 5 and enjoy the game as a stand alone. Well worth it in my eyes.

EA Games are trying to trump the Take-Two takeover of Codemasters.
Great, two awful companies bidding over a half decent one.
17 Dec 2020 10:03:30
Yeah two of the most greedy microtransaction companys fighting over codemasters,I can already see the next f1 game, £10 for extra grip tyres ,tracks hidden behind a paywall etc
22 Dec 2020 14:28:00
Well, they introduced Pitcoins a year or two ago in the F1 games, so I can see Take-Two or EA taking full advantage of that.
Unlock career mode - 20,000 pitcoins.
Unlock 'My Team' Career mode - 20,000 pitcoins.
Unlock Multiplayer - 500,000 pitcoins.
Unlock 2nd gear - 1,000,000 pitcoins.
Greedy bukyaks.

When is Fortnite Winterfest Coming Out?
10 Dec 2020 15:31:57
After years of waiting Cyberpunk has been released. Word of warning DO NOT buy this game for Xbox One or PS4. It is an absolute mess on those consoles. Xbox One X and PS4 Pro are passable and obviously it looks and runs a bit better on PS5 and Series X. I'm probably going to end up waiting for the next gen update myself!
11 Dec 2020 11:58:08
Ordered it for my Series X, I'll be honest not that impressed at all.
shame !!
11 Dec 2020 15:11:12
Yeah I share your thoughts, the game is quite evidently unfinished and I genuinely believe that Covid-19 probably did botch the final year of development. I'm also on Series X and wasn't blown away by the graphical fidelity. Just got to wait for that next gen patch, hopefully by then the game will have been fixed and polished also. Seems a no brainer for me to wait a while.
Disappointed however at the lack of response by CD Projekt Red. They haven't acknowledged any of the glaring issues in the game as of yet. Hopefully it's just a matter of time.
15 Dec 2020 09:22:38
Its a real shame, I have Gears 5 and it looks pretty dam good far better then Cyberpunk that's for sure.
15 Dec 2020 09:23:26
This is typical of a long time hyped game. They add too much pressure and inevitably it will collapse in on its self.
I don't doubt that it's a good game under the layers of bugs and combat issues, but I won't be purchasing until at least 6 months after release.
16 Nov 2020 12:47:03
Codemasters has been bought by Take-Two.
This means that any game released by Codemasters will now be 'pay to win', so we can expect to have to pay extra for the better F1 teams, etc.
What a great day to be a gamer.
16 Nov 2020 16:46:37
Yip such a shame I’ve really enjoyed the codemasters racing games but now they will be microtransaction city,just like ea’s need for speed franchise
11 Nov 2020 07:09:30
I haven't got one but a mate has and I have to say the series x is WOW.
Massive difference.
I would love one if I could get my hands on one. Plenty on ebay but no way I'm paying 800 -1000 quid.
11 Nov 2020 14:02:44
Yeah I got mine yesterday ,really impressed by it,cant believe how silent it is
19 Sep 2020 09:10:49
Football Manager 2020 is free on the Epic Store until the 24th of September.
18 Sep 2020 03:21:07
the new final fantasy looks amazing tbh. i'm a big fan of ff7 and the remake was great too, especially if your a fan of the original.
ff16 looks like they're combining the battle system of ff7 into a medieval setting of ff. always loved medieval games since skyrim.

Just flicking through some retro games site and does anyone remember marble madness on the Nintendo had some good fun on that.
{Ed001's Note - I have never had a Nintendo, other than the daughter's Wii.}
07 Sep 2020 19:39:48
Yeah I had a wii too, mind you I think the only console I haven’t owned is the saga Dreamcast.
Anyway back to the Wii I think that was Nintendo’s worse release. You haven’t lived Ed if you haven’t had a go on Mario kart
{Ed001's Note - I have played that, boring as hell sorry. Dreadful game. It is like things like FIFA, only good for playing with a bunch of mates for a laugh as it has no value as a game in of itself for me.}
10 Sep 2020 16:04:25
Never actually understood the purpose of Nintendo's consoles post N64. It's like they want to be 3 different things, a fitness centre, a childs toy and a gameboy.

Bought Ghost of Tsushima off Playstation store for around £37, if anyone wants to know how I will provide a response detailing how. Just thought I'd say that so far it is absolutely brilliant. Bare in mind this is around 5 hours in. Reminds me very much of the experience of playing The Witcher 3 for the first time except with a much better combat system. Would highly recommend.
{Ed001's Note - is it an RPG then?}
22 Jul 2020 01:24:48
Yes it is Ed001. Similar quest system to games such as Witcher and more recently AC Origins/Odyssey. Albeit with better combat, graphics and story compared to AC. Wonderful soundtrack also with two composers, you can tell believe me. Very enjoyable (after more playtime today) and just discovered duels that are very similar to old Samurai movies from 60's, 70's and 80's.
{Ed001's Note - that sounds like my kind of game, I looked at it and it didn't suggest it was an RPG. Have to be honest, I find Assassin's Creed games to be terrible to play so I am glad it is better than them.}
22 Jul 2020 11:42:50
Id like to know how please mate.
24 Jul 2020 12:07:36
TheDarkKnight. It involves firstly creating an account that is set up in one of the 10 US states that does not have sales tax, so for example Orego or Alaska. I recommend for the future also setting up a canadian PSN account(as their sales are much cheaper than UK, got Days Gone for £12 when it was £35 on UK store). After this you should then buy US Credit for PSN store. The site I used, called GAMIVO, was selling $20 for around £13 with a sale on that would then take a further 10% off. Which meant you buy 3× $20 with the price working out at around £35-37. Add those codes onto your US PSN account and simply buy the game from your wallet for $60 which you've paid £35-37 for. Job Done. Remember to set your home PS4 onto your main account. Then you can play the game on your main account whilst having bought it on another. Hope that's helpful. Other websites such as CDKeys, G2A and Eneba also sell the currency. Any questions feel free to reply to this.
25 Jul 2020 08:57:32
Nice one mate, going to look into that. Every little helps. Especially if you buy a few. Thanks
25 Jul 2020 11:44:52
No problem mate, enjoy!

Command and Conquer remaster.
So this came out in May and I thought I'd give it a little time before bringing it up. Mainly because I was so hyped for it that my opinion and review' would have been bias.
The one thing to know about a remastered game, is that it's meant to just be a clone with upgraded graphics. However, that means that the plethora of bugs and issues that was in the original game, are also in the remaster...
The pathfinding of the AI is just, stupid.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2131322985
As you can see from this screenshot, the AI has no clue what social distancing is...
Also, when large armies are moving, it causes the game's texture loading script to completely collapse. This means your input is delayed by as much as 90 SECONDS. This is totally game breaking and means you can be defeated without even challenging your enemies army...
Also there was a big balancing issue in the single player campaign for some reason, Mission 8A on Tiberian Dawn and 12C on Red Alert were actually impossible to complete lol.
Thankfully they released a patch yesterday which fixed most of the issues, but some still persist.
I think the game is heading in the right direction, but there is a way to go yet.
For £17.99 you could buy much worse.
