Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

I live in North Hampshire, where you could stick a blue rosette on a piece of shit with a KKK hood on it and it would be elected over any other party sadly. I have to put up with this Serco funded Edwin, whose only brief moment in the spotlight was being made a minister by Liz Truss: https://www.the...

Re: Currently Reading

Yeah, I read a Jay Kristoff series last year, Nevernight Chronicles I think, and enjoyed it a lot, so will check that out when I finished this current series :) Yes he is a really good author, I also loved the Nevernight Chronicles. With the Vampire series he has really raised the bar though, such ...

Re: Currently Reading

I found the Blood Song trilogy to be the same, I enjoyed the first book massively but the change in perspective and the bringing in of swathes of largely forgettable characters killed it. I stopped reading after book 2. I have enjoyed a few recently: - We are the Dead by Mike Shackle - a very dark a...

Re: General Gaming News

The problems are twofold I think. Firstly you now have a space in which decisions about gaming - what will be made, who will be laid off etc are being made by people with zero understanding of games and gamers. The second is simpler, the older I get and the more I see, I just feel that the utter, en...

Re: Skull & Bones PC

That's fair DJ, I remember being worried about the change of scenery but was excited enough for the story that I took the plunge - and enjoyed it mightily. It doesn't have the location though I agree, visiting towns and cities (in Italy mostly) that I have explored as Ezio is always so funny, you lo...

Re: Skull & Bones PC

I haven't replayed it in years but I remember always enjoying getting back to the sailing. I don't remember the combat that fondly but I did like the recreation of the ship, the ocean etc. I did read that in co-op you can heal your buddies (or at least the ships they are represented by) by shooting ...

Pirates used to inject mercury down their Japs eye as a treatment for syphilis. True story.

Re: Skull & Bones PC

I think the problem was that it was ill-conceived from the start. I fucking love pirates, love the history, the fiction, Black Sails was awesomeness incarnate. I want that as a videogame, preferably huge and open world. I want to be able to sneak into towns, have dalliances with the ladies in low-do...

Re: Skull & Bones PC

Not one single gram of fuck from what I can tell. It never did sound interesting and from the sounds of things is as by the numbers as it gets, plagued with loads of issues and less fun than AssCreed Black Flag which is an old game now. It was such an open goal too, if they had only thought of what ...

Re: Helldivers 2 - Snowy's potted review

I really quite fancy this even though I almost never play online. The last time was literally with some of you fellas on Breakpoint about 2 years ago. Since then I've also moved and have fairly unreliable internet. I may take the plunge and try it out at some point as the Starship Troopers/Terminat...

Re: Helldivers 2 - Snowy's potted review

Honestly, other than our weekend co-op jaunts on Darktide and Ready or Not, I have been playing this almost exclusively. It is just so much fun and is so gratuitous.
