Command and Conquer for the modern age, I love it!

Nintendo surely wouldn’t do something anti consumer would they?

Agreed. BG3 is outstanding but I loved AW2, thought the acting and Mocap etc was brilliant

I didn’t see the expanded post. Was it Montezumas Revenge? I played it on Atari

Second Sight

Avowed is fantastic IMO. It’s been handcrafted and feels like a living place as opposed to Starfield which was expansive, siloed and impersonal. As a massive Skyrim and Mass Effect fan it is easily my fave game since BG3, probably even more than it in fact.

Amazing game, one I can just pick up and play, choose a direction and just take my time with Arthur on his horse and whatever he comes across

I really hope so! It seems like such a no brainer, get a studio to remake the bulk of it and keep creative control. I came into TES world in Skyrim and would love to go back through them but I’m a snob for a modern looking game now.

What @[email protected] said. Console war nonsense. Any excuse to make it look like one side is winning or whatnot but then again it made people click on the article and see the adverts which apparently is all it takes these days to churn out BS articles.

I am lucky enough to have both the PS5 and the Xbox and personally find very little to pick out between them. I prefer XB controller but think the PS5 one is better quality with the haptic feedback. I love Game Pass and have found tremendous value in it, more so than in PlayStations version though PS still manage to get exclusives.

Mind you the way some of these articles sound is that the whole Xbox gaming division is on its knees and doesn’t sell a machine or make a penny.

The excitement of getting one of the original bad boys for Christmas and being glued to Super Mario and Tetris for years. Then Pokémon Yellow. Was pure magic.

Love RDR2 but never really spent much time on the online version. Is it good to just explore? Are there missions the same as in the main game but just not voiced by your character?

Right?! They must have so much fun coming up with races and classes etc so a fresh canvas to create on would be killer. Plus they make nice visuals and the soundtrack for DOS2/BG3 is 👌

Love BG3 and Divinity OS2, about ten hours into DOS and enjoying it too. They have top tier storytelling and seem to enjoy what they do. I’ll be getting whatever they do next but I hope it’s sci-fi.

Good footwork but I’d like to see this angle used more in football, a long distance screamer would look glorious.

Nice to see Cuch stay on his feet for a change.

Embarrassing behaviour. These guys pose in posters looking tough and manly and then pull this nonsense.

Thing is after a certain point I can’t even tell the difference any more. I feel like the downloads are throttled from Microsoft’s side so I never quite get the full whack.

I sat with 2mbps for a couple of years. It was quicker to unplug and take my XB to my parents house an hour away to download anything!

Keep the faith, I get 400mbps now and all I had to do was be a little patient, move to a different county and get into crippling debt.

But those download times 🤤

Cross play!! Looking forward to that one!

Fuck Nintendo. They get a pass so often from people when they really shouldn’t.

Outstanding game and one of the few times I’ve seen my native Scotland in a game!

I would love a peek inside the forbidden archives.

Not surprising, it’s another place based in high fantasy

Skyrim will always hold a special place in my heart, it’s almost like a simpler time.

Starfield damaged Bethesda for me though. To spend 25 years on it in total and for it to be as it released was very disappointing. I mean basics like no city maps or land vehicles? Every base you come across having the same bodies in the same place with the same loot? I want to love it, they can do things I can’t even imagine (I can’t program Jack shit) but for that to be the end point of their decades of labour just doesn’t add up for me.

I did this for a recent attempted playthrough and vastly prefer it, maybe cos Skyrim was my first Bethesda game.

Bought this on my iPad Pro and it runs so beautifully. Now wherever I am I can put headphones on and be scared shitless.

Original idea, lush visuals, decent looking animations/acting. This is on my watch list for sure.

I had thought there was a Fable coming out soon, there was an ad at the last Gamescom before this one. Unless Molyneux isn’t involved in it?

Just joined! Not sure how much traction there will be given the size of Lemmys userbase but gotta start somewhere!

Good game, fun with a tone similar to the Obsidian Fallout game. Would like deeper relationships with shipmates (including ADA) and third person view.

True enough.

Will be interesting to see whatever they do with it, hopefully it continues to be third person like TW3 and not Cyberpunk.

I think there must be lore friendly ways to introduce diversity to a character creation system. Zerrikania has matriarchs and dark skin for example

Fair enough, I couldn’t find any reference one way or the other except for presumption of the humans by humans part.

Though Ciri does show a way to be a female Witcher trainee with no signs but her own powers. Maybe you could choose a Lodge sorceress, an elven rogue style, a dwarven warrior or Witcher so they have their own weapons and skills etc.

I’m just spitballing here but as long as the game is well crafted and has Marcin Przybyłowicz do the music I am sold!

There’s some of us, literally some!!

Agreed. Blood and Wine was a fine ending, let him rest.

With any luck there will be some sort of character creation that is fully voiced. Maybe even allowed to choose an elf or dwarf, AFAIK there’s no mention that it’s a human exclusive genetic manipulation.

But I’d be happy with a straight male/female choice like Mass Effect or Cyberpunk or AC Valhalla where they are customisable but still voiced.

Or give me one character but make them compelling. Difficult thing will be they will always be compared to Geraldo

Wolves fan here. Neto is a firm fan favourite in Wolverhampton and many of us are gutted to see him go but happy for him.

On his day he will win you games and be the most talented, creative winger you’ve seen this year. However his knee is made out of candy floss.
