Re: Starfield has a release date

I know others have differing opinions on procedurally-generated content, but this is just reinforcing my belief that it simply isn't worth the development time. Use it to decorate spaces with clutter (I'm largely assuming this is how they've done it anyway, else I can't really explain the weird num...

Re: Starfield has a release date

I do think the inventory is ripe territory for mods. As I said a while back, I'm surprised Bethesda didn't go with a grid system or something more visual, rather than sticking with their existing list system. Agreed, it's always the first thing that gets implemented by modders and given inventory m...

Re: Starfield has a release date

I'm really into it now, spent a good 7 hours or so playing yesterday in between attempting to make carnitas. It's a proper RPG, it almost always feels like there's a choice that fits your character, the ground combat is engaging if hampered by the encumbrance mechanic which I feel is a little too st...

Re: Starfield has a release date

What’s also extremely useful is that if you place items in your cargo hold, you can sell to merchants directly from there so you don’t have to lug everything in person to each shop. Wait what? This is going to change the way I play. Started playing this on Wednesday because I refused to pay the £20...

Re: Starfield has a release date

I've preordered but it seems like there's some drama around review copies not being provided to a number of outlets. I seem to remember that happened with the 2016 Doom reboot and that game slapped so hopefully it's just a weird Bethesda control thing and not a "we know we're dropping a turd lets ho...

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

The NR200 looks like a great case, kind of annoyed it came out after I built my last PC as the h210 I have despite being massive for an ITX case still has quite a lot of limitations. Only being able to fit a 2 slot GPU these days is a problem and there is a lot of wasted space. It was very easy to b...

Re: Currently Playing

Currently totally obsessed with Mechabellum . I've never played an autobattler before but my word is this compulsive, every build seems to have a counter and you rarely feel like your totally out of the game even when you've been steam rolled for the first 3 rounds. Also helps it gives big Total Ann...

Re: Switch & Nintendo News/Discussion

I'm 30 hours deep now and really enjoying it, the world is so much more dense than BOTW and the puzzles are incredibly satisfying. Nothing has been too difficult but the physics mechanics are so solid that you come up with an idea that makes sense but wouldn't work in almost any other game and it ju...

Re: Switch & Nintendo News/Discussion

Funny thing is, despite being massively enthusiastic about the original, I never actually finished it. I got to the point where I was probably over-equipped for the assault on Hyrule castle, but I wanted to do every shrine and there were a few I was missing, and it's quite difficult even with a map...

Re: Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

Apparently the performance on PC is really bad, maybe wait for a fix... This VRAM issue seems to be a problem in a number of titles, I don't know if its a UE4 problem but Hardware Unboxed have been pretty scathing about cards with less than 16GB of VRAM which seems absurd. I was hoping this 3070 I ...

Re: Twitter, the shitshow that keeps on delivering

Being able to tell if an account was actually who they said they were was one of Twitter's killer features and for Musk to nuke that because he thought it was just a status symbol will make using that site so much more difficult.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Went to go see Rye Lane last night at the Peckham Plex which entirely unsurprisingly makes a cameo appearance. I'd heard good things but I wasn't ready for how funny it would be, some really nice cinematography as well. Very much a love letter to that bit of South East London where I spent a lot of ...
