@GilgaMax309 who said i enjoyed the story...bunch of over indulgent tripe with unbearable dialogue, seemingly intelligent people making stupid decisions...and dont get me started on that vomit inducing love triangle π... I get it - for reasons ill never know, people will always sing the praises of the witcher and C2077, just understand i never will unless i deem it justified π...Still, like i said before, i did like Siri , and im glad theyre making her 4s PC π
@DennisReynolds we'll agree to disagree on that one...With the exception of Siri - there wasn't a single one I didn't want to punch repeatedly ππ
Thank God it's Siri.... However I do have a few suggestions - don't bring in any more characters from last time...not one was the least bit likeable...and clean the UI...W3's being cluttered is an understatement....Aside from that - Damn good first trailer π
@JustCameHereToSay you have to admit they all look and play quite similar though?? I will credit Sekiro and Bloodborne - The gothic and samurai look respectively, make them stand out a bit more π
@Northern_munkey Ok - this last 15yrs we've had Demons Souls, Dark Souls Trilogy, Bloodborne and Elden Ring....All more or less the same game!! The only exception was Armoured Core π
I'm happy with my current console (at least till next gen; provided it's worthwhile) - But if people are happy chucking away nearly Β£800 for essentially a graphics upgrade, then who am I to stop them π
First impressions...Damn good first few hours..Yes the dialogue can be intolerable at times, but I'd hardly call it a deal breaker... Technically though - not really seen anything to complain about tbh π
I mean you'd think EA would be able to acquire top quality commentary icons like Guy Mobray, Robyn Cowen, Jonathan Pearce etc...But nope still stuck with Derek Rae and whatshisface ππ
And right there i'm 11yrs old again - Yeah late 90s, a certain marsupial was the star of the show; but damn that Croc nostalgia just warms the old cockles π
@Maubari Ok i'll give you that one; the colour has dulled somewhat over 15yrs, but nah - I can see where you're coming from on some aspects re: unplayable gameplay, but I think we'll have to agree to disagree... Definitely on my all time best games list π
@Maubari Origins being unplayable nowadays?? Nah, i'm not having that - despite its rough edges, its still a damn masterpiece in my book....However - i do agree the 'save the mage tower' quest can go straight to hell thoughπ
In preparation for Veilguard, I've decided to have another run though of Dragon Age Origins....Aside from that, just a few other old faves, and saving my pennies for Outlaws next weekend π
@Monstermash40 im pretty much going through it myself and so far its completely playable solo...make sure youre on a SX/PS5 though...load times for last gen are abysmal π
I really wanna get hyped for Veilguard; However, after being burned by DA2 and Inquisition (ntm Bioware in general), its just not coming right now....There is some solace though - I remember during the 00s, every Batman game was just awful until a little game called Arkham Asylum released and the rest as they say is history π
@Atreus97 except you dont really need to play in order to get a liking/disliking, since theres many places now you can watch gameplay...And also; dont forget first impressions count for a lot π
I mean, you had the perfect opportunity for the sub heading to read "I feel it in my fingers"...but nope, you went and squandered it....I hope your'e proud of yourselves π
So long as I can jump straight into Veilguard without being confused as to what's happening - I must've tried Inquisition nearly a dozen times, yet by the time I've opened the third area/arrived at Sky Forge Castle (I think that's its name) I really just lose interest....Such a shame the DA series is all over the place - quality wise - as (imo) Origins is a damn masterpiece π
@MickOnYourFace People are always going to continue to fornicate, thus producing offspring, thus being introduced to games on consistent basis - On the other hand; I've noticed kids these days are barely aware of anything beyond their own lifespan, so I could just be talking absolute twaddle π
Rings of Power, whatever Star Wars seem to churn out - For the love of God, please let there be a telly series of a licence property that's actually good π
@Keyblade-Dan I'm glad someone had the balls to say it...I've just about had it with all this talk about CDPR being untouchable and how they're practically the Second Coming ππ
Sorry, but genuinely - who even cares at this point?? This isn't the Rocksteady that gave us Arkham, so just stop it Rocksteady - you're embarrassing yourself π
Pitchford remains in a senior role?? Founder or not - i think we can all agree his behaviour as of late has been pretty embarrassing to say the least π
@Specky I mean, taking risks is always commendable, but come on - like with Watch Dogs as well; if it's not sprinkling peoples feathers then why continue churning them out??...like you say, it's basically just check listing at this point, whereby even the better AC and Far Cry entries seem plagued by it π
Going by a complete stab in the dark - but judging by the fact not a single soul seems bothered, maybe it's time Ubisoft stopped flogging this dead horse π
Brand new game from a revered developer lands at number 1 - no surprise there
Said game being an absolute joke compared to previous efforts - can't see it being at number 1 for long π
@RestMode12 can i suggest taking an English course??....Ya know - spelling, punctuation, actually making sense and not just throwing words together π

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
Yes Sony should be ashamed of themselves - However, if people are daft enough to spend it then its very much a case of more money than sense π

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Drops Loads of PS5 Gameplay, Action Combat Details

Re: Dragon Age Name Change Reflects Game's Focus on Your Party Rather Than Solas
@Maubari true - it's definitely rough around the edges, but it just beats 2 and Inquisition by a country mile in my book π
Re: Dragon Age Name Change Reflects Game's Focus on Your Party Rather Than Solas
