Lol

I really liked 4, just started 5 a few days ago, did the 1st heist, its fun so far...lets see how it goes.
(no tips on how to use bluetooth headphones and not losing the sound on PC?)

Technically/mechanically I'd say 5 is definitely a superior game. Though the story, setting and characters were all a bit 'meh' IMO. Also the first 3D GTA game where I didn't really pay attention to any of the radio stations (not helped by the false rumours of a Synthwave radio station hosted by Kavinsky that were spread as some self-promotion!).

No idea on the bluetooth side of things, I'd say make sure your bluetooth drivers are up to date and if that doesn't sort it maybe pick up a cheap bluetooth USB adapter to diagnose whether or not it's the PC's bluetooth device that is the issue.

Jedward are looking a bit rough these days

Switch Online 12m membership is £12.99 on CDKeys at the moment, £1 cheaper than last year, and £5 cheaper than Nintendo
(Guess who just got the reminder for autorenew?)

So close it hurts.

True that I was GOING THROUGH teams and was one clipping almost everyone, but had no idea I was so close to 4K, otherwise would farm last team for a little...

Sad...

I'm having a lot of fun with rocket league. Best free game eva!

I think I put over 400 hours in in the first year I got it, so damn addictive. Definitely got that 'just one more game' appeal. Hadn't played it for 4 years or so before I picked up the Switch and saw it was free. Definitely a relatively decent implementation of free-to-play too.

Anybody interested in Xbox Elite Controller (1st version).

Owned from new, didn’t get along with the back paddles so used it without paddles until I swapped it for regular controller. Been sitting in my drawer for ages now.

Cosmetically it’s in great condition (never flew across the room).
All buttons work as they should and paddles too (they not stiff as brand new controller, but don’t drift).

Possibly the OG thumbsticks are on more worn side, but you can get eBay replacements (they magnetic so nice and easy).

Was thinking £60?
Think it’s a good price to see if you like extra 4 buttons.

London but can post.

ooof.

apparently an ingame dmg tracker is coming in S8.

have been enjoying a baptism of fire lately, I found the winter express mode was great for intense training in 1vsX fights in confined areas and have definitely improved a lot as a result. also the XP gains were insane so I jumped from low/mid 300s when we last played to 450 in less than a month.

I'm also finding sbmm to be less noticeably punishing after a good game, the difficulty definitely still jumps and there are games when I'll get beamed by a predator without hitting a single bullet but feels like I'm starting to reach the lower echelons of being a "decent" player now.

Have also been starting to get the mid-tier badges like double duty and rapid elimination on a handful of characters but still let down by matchmaking for the damage badges as get dragged into stupid positions and unwinnable fights every time i start having a decent game by teammates who have to push everything full steam ahead without any thought on rotations.

In the market for a Switch is anyone has one going. Its about time I played through Breath of The Wild..

Battlefront 2 is free on the epic games store until the 21st of Jan if anyone fancies it? Ive really enjoyed it a lot

Really enjoying 3, leveling up to enemy difficulty seems really well balanced, still hard but not throw your Controller through the TV levels of frustration. Loving the VATS shooting system as well because I am normally dog shit at shooters.

As a native east Anglian I’ve been enjoying assassin’s creed Valhalla. Loving objectives like “destroy the bandit camp in Thetford forest”. Still saving burning and pillaging my home town (Bury St Edmunds) for later.

Overall the storyline isn’t too interesting but still decent.

I have Epic due to work and keep getting game ads.

Thought why not. First game since Titan Fall.

Ended up 1am an I was Luke fukin Skywalker.

oh cool are you on discord? Its always nice to have someone to play with?

You have tech trumped me. Will have a look later. :o)

Also, worth mentioning that its ST-BF:2 'celebration edition' so if like me, you had standard edition you can get the free version from Epic and it will then unlock all the skins for you.

PS5s are fake. refuse to believe they exist. not having it

Im with you... Anyone who says they have one is lying. Self perpetuating lie!

I'm part of the conspiracy.

Also - haven't actually turned mine on in 2021 yet. Or my Series X. That's how awesome my year is so far.

I appear to be using my X a chunk more than my PS5... Just messing around with games from Game Pass

Game Pass is great.

When I actually get to play, it's so easy to try things out and discover new games. Control dropped onto Game Pass today (or maybe tomorrow?) so I'll give that a go.... if I get round to it!

Am enjoying it too. Hadn’t played any AC games since the one in Florence as they all looked a bit samey with endless fetch quests, and I play Skyrim for that. It’s got a nice Far Cry element to it of just roaming around causing chaos and stumbling across things if you want to.
