Re: Currently Playing

Just finished Jedi Fallen Order - i really enjoyed this - a much more forgiving souls style game with some great combat, movement, ambiance, and a passable story!

I gather a sequel has been approved - hopefully more of the same!

Re: The Covid-19 thread

The whole thing is annoying as hell tbh. I'm bothered for my father who's just started radiotherapy and is commuting in and out of London for it now and for the next few weeks. I'm migrating my entire bank's services from one platform to another, with four different and critical stakeholders in thre...

Re: Epic Game Store - Epic's Steam Competitor

I quite enjoyed Aztez - quick and easy to pick up, and good for a few hours.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Train journeys where the system falls apart and nobody knows what the fuck is going on. I was over in Yorkshire this weekend and couldn't get back to Lancaster on Sunday due to all the flooding, so had to try and get back yesterday morning. It was pure chaos, as you might expect given the storms an...

Re: Currently Playing

After seeing a recent post on here about Grim Dawn (was it Sly?) i picked up the Forgotten Gods xpac and started an oathbreaker character on that, and worked through both forgotten gods and ashes of malmouth. Grim Dawn really is a fantastic game, and the class balancing is quite supreme - you're oft...

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 [PS4, XBone] - PC in November

I think this was the second game i picked up after delayed release on Steam - the first being Hades. I've just not the time to get into it like it deserves, but it is fantastic! I think Borderlands 3 will be the next Epic deferred game.

I jumped on to try it and discovered I was mid way through another run that I couldn’t face giving up so ended up using the hour or so I had finishing that and not having time to try the new one ](*,)
Yep that's every game ever :lol:

Re: Epic Game Store - Epic's Steam Competitor

They can't possibly be making money doing this.... but it must be working if they're extending it, right?

I mean.... no one would think... we didn't get a return on all this spend, so let's do it for longer, right? Right? :-k

Re: DOOM: Eternal [PC, PS4, Switch, XBone] - 2019?

erk.... wtf was that trailer.

Story? in DooM? Did they lose their minds? And why does it look so clean? rather than grimy and dirty? and the DooM guy redesign? Are they actually changing a working formula?

I hope the gunplay is still up to par, but that trailer did F all for me... :/

Re: Game of the Year 2019

Humble Bundle definitely got me playing a lot of games this year. The best find was my top game of 2019, Slay the Spire. Love that game. Another highly recommended and probably under-recognised game is early access Hades. Not sure if it should be on there as technically it's not released, i don't th...

Re: How the Entertainment Industry Solved Piracy, Then Made It Popular Again

Indeed. I've long said that there needs to be regulation in the entertainment industry that forces shows (after a "fair" exclusivity period) to be available on all platforms, with some kind of royalties model. Consumers should be picking the best platform provider to watch shows on, not have to subs...

Re: Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker - the last film in the saga

Seen it. Better than Last Jedi, not great overall. Absolutely nonsensical plotting. Okay, so Palpatine is alive somehow, I can deal with that. He sends Kylo to murder Rey. Except Kylo fails and Rey finds her way to Palpatine, which was apparently his plan all along because he wants her to murder hi...
