Yeah I wasn't really making the comparison, more illustrating how little Starfield made me feel like an intrepid space explorer.

Haha I can well believe that! Raid and I played it, and while the scope of what they are doing is amazing the levels of jank were beyond olympian

One day, it might be amazing, but it sure ain't there yet!

I think it's fair to say nobody is happy with Microsoft at the moment, but I'll not let the "let's all shit on Starfield" train chug along unchallenged where it's not deserved. ;) I was (somewhat brazenly I agree) simply stating that a studio at that level and a game release of that magnitude it lo...

Jimmy Shag-it? What a Edwin.

Nah you're good Dave, Starfield was gash ¬_¬

Good to see that the Xbox hordes are gonna get to enjoy Helldivers as well. It's a game that just uber-clicked with me and hasn't overly released me since, I still love playing it.

That was a shag, dropped several days and then had a crazy run of form towards the end of the month. Ah well, see how long I last this month

The Haunted Cathedral level was arsehole puckering.

Yeah I really wasn't prepared for that - I am someone who avoids scary games like the plague but I was so invested by that point I had to get through it.

Yeesh /shudders

It might be fine, but it ain't the Naked Gun...

Just in the name of keeping the thread more consistently alive :) I have just finished Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff . Now he and I have form, I think that his Empire of the Vampire book is one of the best fantasy tales I have ever read, and it's a while till the concluding part comes out, so I though...

Mr Xerxes Von Braun, my bestie, my right hand boy turned 13 a few months ago. He’s been pretty consistently in fantastic health. When people ask his age they are either surprised or think I’m talking in months because he’s still so youthful. His only real issue is some hind leg arthritis that we ha...

It's been twelve years since the accident, it's been pretty clear for a long time that we'll never see the man again - you don't go from being one of the world's most famous sporting figures to a total and absolute media blackout for over a decade if it's an accident you can recover from. I worked ...

Oh I went off the boil on it really fast. Once I realised I had to keep on repeating until I knew how to kill them all, the right order etc, it stopped being a game and became a chore. Worth a look if you haven't played it and don't mind icky Epic gamestore but it wasn't for me.

Nice work mate, I never had the patience to 100% games but props for doing so!

Yeah, enjoyed that a lot! My only quibble is that its set in "our world" but it might as well have been a new First Law land because the tone and archetypes are just a First Law novel really. I mean a warrior that sometimes loses control and becomes an indiscriminate killing machine, a badass lady,...

The writing there is so sharp I nearly bled out reading it
