@Northern_munkey Sadly no, they are just a high jump in item evel. Set armor is apparently coming in Season 2 and the end game really needs it imo to bring builds together.
The new gems look interesting in season 1 and the developers noted they make some builds crazy. Should be fun
@MattBoothDev same, Fringe (at least the first few series, got a bit silly towards the end) is one of my all time favourite shows and he was a massive part of it.
Great in anything I have watched him in and gutted with his passing.
They had the base of a great extraction game with The Survival DLC in The Division 1. Why they didn't port that to 2 has always really surprised me as it was excellent.
I love the series, just don't have friends who play it anymore.
Would love to see a third game in the series, back in New York or another City with the same sort of dark undertones.
Looking forward to jumping into this over the weekend now. Have a few side quests to finish up on the base game to get me back into the flow of thing first.
Gutted about this review as this was the game that was going to get me to commit to pre-ordering. I'll wait until there are more titles that interest me or if Half-Life: Alyx drops (a man can dream).
A “pro” controller is essential for me due to a hand and thumb injury, so I’ve had a scuff since they launched the PS5 variant. Once that eventually dies, I’ll definitely have a go at one of these.
Just finished Forbidden West and now working on Ragnarok, desperately trying to clear a backlog before the new titles arrive this year and sit in my library 😂
Can't wait for this! Loved the first one. Sadly, going to be a few weeks for me as moving house shortly and need to wait for some internet service before I play it.
It's been a few years since I've purchased a physical game. I appreciate theyre often cheaper on disc after the initial release window but I just prefer digital and being able to go back without having rows and rows of discs in my house.
Having recently gone back to PC gaming I was hoping the new consoles would bring games up to at least 60. It makes a difference, massive difference in some games.
If they're going to run stuff at 30fps then quite simply it's a no for me for the next generation of consoles.
@Scoobijohn I stopped watching when they took the pathetic stance with Colin. Before that I watched their stuff daily, but you don't stiff your mates like that over a petty joke.

Re: Bungie Emerges Victorious in Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Against Destiny 2 Cheat Site
@zebric21 Exactly the same, but cross play on all the major shooters complicates that choice now.

I'm a wizard @ Hogwarts and absolutely loving it so far.
Have a good weekend
Re: Bobby Kotick Says Sony Is 'Trying to Sabotage' Microsoft's Activision Bid
Old Bobby needs to work on his negotiation tactics. I'd be saying fine, don't let the deal go through and we will make it MS exclusive.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Smashes Through a Staggering 11 Million Sales
Finished the main story the weekend and it deserves absolutely every success it gets!
Those numbers in three months on an exclusive game are insane!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 461
I'm so behind on games currently, this adult responsibility stuff is getting annoying!
Hopefully get through the remainder of Ragnarok, then decide on what's next, options are Ghost of Tsushima or The Last of Us I & II

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?
8/10 for me. Solid game, good MP although maps are questionable along with the annoying as F one shot rifles!
Re: Rumour: Half-Life: Alyx Allegedly Locked for PSVR2
Day one purchase of VR2 if this is out. Half Life series is number 1 on my all time list.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 445
Still hammering away at Forbidden West! Incredible game, I’m even completing all the side quests that I never do.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 444
Finally got my PS5 back off my daughter so catching up on Forbidden West!
Re: Crystal Dynamics Now Owns Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain Franchises
I would give my left little toe for a new Legacy of Kain series of games!
Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Grab PS5, PS4 Deals in PS Store Summer Sale
@stvevan the digital sales really aren't worth the effort currently which is a shame as I hate having discs all over the place these days.
Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Opening Will Be Familiar to Batman Arkham Fans
Not convinced with this one, feel it will be a wait for review before ordering.
Re: Embracer Group to Buy Multiple Square Enix Studios and IPs in Huge Acquisition
Please for the love of god, give me a Legacy of Kain game! That is such a great IP just waiting for some attention.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 416
Nothing, I'm, moving house in the morning and everything bar my phone is about to be boxed up!
Miserable
Re: Horizon Forbidden West (PS5) - Excellent Sequel Is a PS5 Essential

Re: Talking Point: Was Ubisoft Forward a Show to Remember?
I didn’t expect much from this show and got even less! Terrible show
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Mesmerises in 14 Minute Gameplay Sequence
It's been a long time since a game made me go "WOW", but damn that looks incredible!
Think it's time to download and playthrough the first one again.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 367
Back in Borderlands 3 for a bit as looking for some mindless fun to cure the ongoing boredom of lockdown!

Re: Sony Confirms Next Generation PlayStation VR Is in the Works for PS5
I'll probably bite on this when released, especialy if they can get Half-Life: Alyx on the system
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 364
PS5 arrived yesterday (little chuffed face active)!
Ghost of Tushima given I missed it before getting rid of my PS4. Only a couple of hours in but so far so good!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 363
Nothing, as I managed to bag a ps5 this week in the game drop and now I’m sitting very very impatiently until it arrives!
First game: replay god of war
Second: ghost of tushima (not played it yet and very much looking forward to it)
Re: Don't Expect Assassin's Creed Valhalla to Run at 60 Frames-Per-Second on PS5
This is very disappointing news
Having recently gone back to PC gaming I was hoping the new consoles would bring games up to at least 60. It makes a difference, massive difference in some games.
If they're going to run stuff at 30fps then quite simply it's a no for me for the next generation of consoles.
Re: Guide: Nioh 2 Beginner's Guide - Hints and Tips to Get You Started
@Anguspuss Whilst I share your pain on the glasses front, you've got a great game to play and I highly recommend giving it go

Re: Sony Adds PS Plus Discounts, More PS4 Games to EU PlayStation Store's Huge January Sale
@Truime you’ve got a good few hours of entertainment there mate.
I’d suggest God of War as an essential if it’s in the sale too!
Enjoy
Re: Game of the Year: #4 - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

My competitive itch has been triggered and I've jumped into some Apex Legends again.
Re: Round Up: The Witcher Netflix Reviews Are All Over the Place
I'm five episodes in and enjoying. I think 4/5 is a fair score for it so far.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 301
@RogerRoger amazing ending mate! Wasn’t expecting it, but hoping they do more with the story in the form of dlc or a second game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 301
Just finished Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order last night (it was outstanding) and contemplating what to play next.
