They're actually not though I don't yet see why.

If I follow the link in the post, they return 404.

But if I copy and paste the link separately, e.g. with no referrer header, they work.

I just clicked the links as they appeared in Marston's post and they resolve fine for me.

I'm in work on IE 11, I wonder is it a browser thing?

It's the same behaviour in Chrome, I'm guessing it's just an Imgur glitch.

They do not work for me but as @Spear said if I copy the link and paste it they work fine. Windows 10 and Chrome.

Looks like it's not pasting the https:// before the URL when clicking it, that's the only difference I see between them and they don't load for me either (Chrome or Safari).

I tried after you said that it is actually not putting in the .jpg

Now I'm at home on Firefox on Ubuntu and they don't work!

Never thought I'd be praising IE11

Anyway, I'd have loved a Batman game with a Bat-Bike!!!

Say WB Montreal for that but we'e not heard anything from Rocksteady, nothing mentioned at E3 past.

Rocksteady definitely working on something as they made a point to say it wasn't ready to show at e3. Arkham collection releasing soon with asylum, city and Knight in one game. Maybe they will announce something new at Gamescom and then rake in the cash from the new collection hoping people will want to replay them. I'd be all for a Damian Wayne on Bat Bike game.

Varik

Really wish they'd included origin in these collections, it's the best story out of the arkham games.

Retr0gamer

Not going to happen. It means WB would actually have to put some work in to fix the game.

No harm, I'm sick of he Arkham games anyway.
The first one is the only game that holds up.

I played it about 9-10 months after it came out and I didn't have any issues with bugs in it - it seemed pretty decently patched to my eyes at the time.

Subnautica is a little gem isn't it.

Not a fan of most survival and crafting games but Subnautica has the right amount of narrative hook to keep it interesting.

I honestly think it's one of the best games of all time, it's just stunning in places, especially when you start figuring out how to get down really deep for the story missions. I tidied up my base, released all my pets and specimens and parked all my vehicles before I did the last bit, I was getting emotional!

It's killing me staying away from the Below Zero alpha but I'm going to let it mature properly before I dive in.

Can't wait to do a replay when I get a proper VR setup aswell. Amazing game.

Subnautica doesn't have PSVR support right?

I googled, and no. And probably won't, not until the PS5/PSVR2 I'd imagine. There's a blog from them on their site where they basically say they're having trouble with it running properly in 2D and they don't think the PS4 has enough power to do it properly in PSVR.

Late to the party, but I started Outer Wilds at the weekend. It's brilliant

Currently playing Eastshade a bit, in which you play a painter who winds up on an island with the goal of painting four particular spots in tribute to your mother.

There’s plenty of rough edges that are somewhat inevitable given the modest size of the production, but I’m generally really enjoying it. How I’d describe it is basically a small, Skyrim-like open world with all the boring combat and RPG crap removed :pac: You wander about solving side quests, painting commissions, and trying to get to the hard-to-reach spots needed for the four main paintings you need to get. There’s a basic crafting system, and a nice day and night structure that does have some simple but cool gameplay consequences. There are really neat discoveries to be found, and overall it’s plenty of fun to see the world gradually open up as you explore - especially when you finally earn enough to buy the bike Do wish the painting system was a tad more robust given it’s the central conceit - as is, it’s effectively an in-game screenshot tool.

It reminds me of Ghost of a Tale, which similarly had a small but dense open world you’re constantly backtracking across. While both games are imperfect, I much prefer their compact open worlds you actually get to know well over the sprawling, miles-wide blockbusters we typically associate with ‘openness’.

Speaking of impressive, compact open worlds (or galaxies)...

Make sure to bump the thread with any thoughts, worth evangelising about it at every opportunity https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin//showthread.php?p=110313456

8 years on and Skyrim modding is still going strong: honestly I never thought Skywind - a total conversion of Morrowind into the Skyrim engine - would ever get close to a point where it could be properly demoed (at Gamescom), but here we are:

I'm currently playing Borderlands 2 on Xbox and chose a Siren this time. Loaded up Borderlands 2 on my PC just to see what stuff I have and I am jealous I have a massive capacity shield and massive health regen. Maybe I got them from the fight for Sanctuary I'm not sure. I only played the fight for Sanctuary when it was released so not that long ago so I should have remembered what stuff I had. I am a sniper on PC zer0.

They got a bunch of rugby 'celebrities' to pretend to play, sounds like a sports game (maybe even Rugby) so it's blatantly obvious they've no idea what they're doing, especially the smaller lad, hopping off the shoulder buttons like he's a virgin at fighting games.

I've always presumed that it was something like Fornite as Leinster D'arcy is beaten by the Eimearnator. But he wants to beat the level.

But there's no Wilhelm scream in Fortnite, is there? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Like pixels? Like physics? Well how about a game where every pixel is simulated! This has been in dev. for a while & initially had looked more tech. demo than possessing any kind of robust gameplay loop; seems to have come together into more of a game now:

Annapurna Interactive have been on a roll recently (Outer Wilds, Telling Lies and hopefully Sayonara Wild Hearts very soon!), so great to see them pick up Irish title If Found... Looks very striking so looking forward to playing it!
