Re: Currently Playing

I haven't had much chance to play this week so I'm only in the Junon city at the moment, but from what I've gathered the protorelics are entirely optional. I believe the side story revolves around fighting an optional endgame boss for extra loot and that's all. I quite liked the Fort Condor game. I'...

Re: Currently Playing

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth I've dumped enough hours into this now to summarise my thoughts on it. So far I've just passed the 20 hour mark and I'm about to enter Junon, so it's been quite a lengthy play through scouting every single corner of the map and fully completing both open world areas I've had...

Re: General Gaming News

Some of these smaller studios are helmed by industry veterans who used to work for the bigger AAA companies. That's where the quality is being produced nowadays. Look at Helldivers 2, £35 for an incredible game with many hours of content by a team who are passionate about supporting it and with a ve...

Just got back from seeing Dune in IMAX. Holy crap what an experience. Such a spectacle from start to finish. Absolutely incredible.

Re: Skull & Bones PC

What I find interesting about this game is the general commentary online is that people just wanted the ship combat from Black Flag with a game built around it. Having replayed Black Flag fairly recently I think people are really looking back at it with nostalgia tinted perspectives. The ship combat...

Re: Helldivers 2 - Snowy's potted review

Quite addictive isn't it. We dropped six hour on it last night and didn't even notice the time fly.

Re: Helldivers 2 - Snowy's potted review

Picked it up on PS5 and have done a couple of missions following the tutorial. It is great fun, love the aesthetic of it, so hilariously over the top.

Cheers guys.

Got our heat to advance in the competition to play at Bloodstock tonight too. Think we're pulling in our biggest crowd yet for it so it should be a good one.

Cheers Alan. The DJ was seriously praising us after he played it so we're all super hyped. One of the last tracks of the evening for those interested.

Re: \m/ Metal \m/

So I submitted our track to BBC Introducing when it released and they liked it enough to feature us!

We're being played on BBC Music Introducing on the radio tonight between 9 and 10pm across all the East Midlands radio channels. Pretty chuffed about that!

Re: \m/ Metal \m/

Thanks, Chris! That's pretty damned good mate, you must be happy with that. Cheers, Ian. Yeah we're very happy with our studio choice. There was a bit of back and forth to refine the final mix with small details here and there but even the very first mix he presented us with sounded great. It's gett...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

All of his movies have the same kind of whimsical charm and humour to them on top of having very unique cinematography. He's a great director.
