Video Games

This was really helpful, I've adjusted it a bit but so much better than standard.

Great to hear that Bethesda are killing their shitting launcher on PC.

All purchased games being transferred to Steam.

having fun with chapter 1 of guardians of the galaxy.

BUT

I want to throat punch whichever dickhead put photo mode on press l3 & r3 when you use them separately CONSTANTLY in the normal flow of the game. and then put a confirmation screen that appears when you try exiting it without a way of turning any of it off.

GTAV being released on the new consoles seems wild, given it were released on the PS3 & XBox 360, I remember Fifa 14 being released for both the PS2 & PS4, gotta be a pretty short list of games that have spanned multiple console generations (excluding remasters/re-releases)

Yeah weird isn't it considering how worlds apart GTA V and San Andreas are, that were both available on the 360.

Still remember seeing the first gameplay footage of GTA V and it being completely inconceivable.

Elden ring reviews due today and preloads available, i'm hyped

I pre-ordered, wish I'd booked Friday off.

Tempted to stay up on thursday night, friday's going to be a struggle.

release midnight tomorrow. Same, so hype

I really want to get the new Horizon but no way I'll have time with that and Elden

Horizon Forbidden West is surprisingly buggy. Couple of instances where progress triggers didn't work, forcing a reload from the last save. Occasional bits of cut-scene dialog audio missing.

Fortunately nothing too detrimental, it's still completely fantastic.

Sony's marketing department are trying their very best to put me off, but it's not working. Races featuring such disparate car types can absolutely do one.

GT7 hype is also real.
Not pre-ordered yet, and HFW is on the "get when it is on sale" list

Hoping for psvr2 support

I've had no desire to pick up a (non-portable) console since the PS2 era, but seeing some GT7 footage makes me want a PS5. Not enough to actually go buy one to be fair, but damn that hits me right in the nostalgia.

PS5s are vapourware still.
Best bet to not be wanting one for the foreseeable.

Oh yeah I've got no actual intention of picking one up regardless of the stock situation. But if I was on the fence that sure as well would push me over

Mercifully I already have one.

reviews are out for elden ring - overwhelmingly positive

Only this thread would understand.

Mad isn't it. I remember seeing the announcement back in 2011, maybe?

Biggest gaming regret is not ever being able to play Half Life 2. Bean or not it looks great. I bought it but every single monitor and computer I tried it on gave me nausea.

I've caved and pre-ordered it. 95% chance I'll despise it (down from like 99% before reviews confirmed checkpoints are next to the boss fights) but fomo means i have to try.
