Yeah if this is treated with the same level of respect as Fallout, it could be very good. 🤞 for this one!

@get2sammyb I have a sneaky feeling that if Microsoft ‘agree’ to porting the Ori games to PlayStation… then Moon Studios might well ‘agree’ to release this on Xbox if you get me 😉

Game looks awesome and as a result will sell… over here 😏

@playstation1995 🍻 yup… as the age-old saying goes git gud scrubs 😏🍿

This was a cool surprise. I’m still to actually play Avatar… and as a fan of third-person over first, this’ll probably be the way I play it now. More games should offer the option to switch between the two viewpoints.

@Anti-Matter aren’t those adult characters on the cover of your latest game… 🤔 hmmm.

Assassins Creed: Rogue… and what a pleasant surprise it has been. I’ve been slowly chipping away at the series since 2019 and while the series has some highs… I’ve found just as many of the games to be a bit of a slog. This is one of the high points for me though and I had no idea that would be the case. It’s basically Black Flag but in the North Atlantic rather than the Caribbean.

I vaguely remember seeing something about this ages ago… thought it looked interesting at the time and this review confirms it!

Now we’re talking!

Yoink! random words so that it’ll actually let me post this 😏

@ShogunRok @StrickenBiged 🍻

@ShogunRok does it have its own plat?

1887: The New Order

Busy weekend this one but will hopefully get an hour or two to crack on with Mass Effect 2 at some point. Just have a few loyalty quests left before crossing the point-of-no-return and finishing the main campaign.

Hoping to have the plat wrapped by Wednesday, so I can make a start on Assassins Creed: Rogue on my day off 🤞

@Cvantez you could do a lot worse tbh

@get2sammyb yup… and they’ll just continue to close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears and sing “lalala…” in the most dulcet of tones 🙈🙉🙊

B… b… but Xbox better… right guys? While the industry burns… I win right… am I right… guys? 🫠

[Removed - mamba 3:16] 😉

@EfYI black mamba is dead unfortunately

@BintendoMan #weallwere 😉

@get2sammyb while I totally get you… the trouble is dude, respect is earned and lost depending on experience and interactions. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck… it’s a duck.

@K1LLEGAL yeah I probably shouldn’t have grouped you in with that, you actually seem a pretty decent guy. My apologies 👊

@Ricky-Spanish well you obviously couldn’t do that like…

@Ricky-Spanish stop trying to twist stuff (a sure sign of the disingenuous), I never said it wasn’t consumer friendly… never have done. What I have said for years is that it’s bad for the industry… you seem to avoid that talking point each and every time though… conveniently 🫠… I wonder why 🤔

@Ricky-Spanish I’m winning as I watch the whole industry burn! 🤦🏼‍♂️

@Ricky-Spanish nope… that’s just what I’ve found since trying to have a dialogue. You take it however you want to justify your own narrative though… you guys always do.

@cusman we’ve all been saying it for years mate… but the bots just accuse us of being fanboys for stating something that held credible critical analysis. The people who are the first to use the fanboy accusation are almost always the actual fanboys.

Started Mass Effect 2 and it really is as class as people make out. I played it back at release on the 360 but have absolutely no recollection of it… and was a little apprehensive about starting it again as I was a bit nonplussed when I played through the original a couple of years back. Thankfully I’m having a very different experience with the sequel though. The gameplay and the graphics have been refined a bit and the narrative is top-tier fair play.

@Fiendish-Beaver I can guarantee you that Nadella would’ve made it clear to Phil before signing off on passing him the $80bills, that as a result of it that certain metrics would need to be met… and if they weren’t… well here we are. Yet Phil just trotted out his good for the industry, good for the staff, good for the gamer mantra regardless of the potential risks if it didnt pan-out.

Even during the acti-bliz trial there was Microsoft documentation discussed showing the crazy metrics Gamepass would need to hit by 2030 to be sustainable… you think there wasnt more crazy metrics discussed post the deal? 🤦🏼‍♂️

@Fiendish-Beaver well if it’s one thing a beaver likes, it’s getting ****ed… I’d imagine a fiendish one likes it even more 😉

@Fiendish-Beaver either way he’s rightly being called out… if he lied, call him out… if he as a CEO has no foresight, call him out 🤷‍♂️

Hopeful yes, hope is eternal… but after the 💩-show that has been Sony’s first party ‘pivot’ this gen, am I optimistic? No, I have major doubts if I’m honest.

Gutted its first person… but oh well how bout Ubi make Farcry 7 third person to balance it out 🤷‍♂️

I’m one of the few who thought Ghost of Tsushima was good but not quite up there with the best of Sony’s first party devs. I’ll certainly buy and play Yotei but I’m not excited for it in the same way that I was for Death Stranding 2 or if a new full-fat God of War game was announced.

I’m holding on to play it until I have a couple of free weeks in September. Hopefully the weather will be a bit more chilled by then… and another patch or too to help resolve the issue too 🤞.

It’s hot as all hell here in the UK atm… if I could treat my PS5 to a slushy at the same time as the missus and I are enjoying one in the garden, I would! 😅

Finished off the Zombie Army Trilogy plat yesterday but will probably play a little more this weekend to help out a few of the guys finish off their bits and pieces. Such an underrated game, between it and its sequel… they are two of the best co-op games I’ve played. So much fun!

Played through the prologue of Dead Island: Riptide this morning too, to continue my hot-zombie-summer. Enjoyed DI2 a lot more than I was expecting at the start of this year, so I’ll hopefully feel similarly about this one.

@IOI dayum who pulled the wool away from your eyes 😉

I’d have loved open-world 😡
