Yeah I think it comes to €628.50. I read that game consoles aren't subject to customs fees, but it's the import VAT that's the killer. I'm in the queue but I think I'll just keep trying to get one locally. So January :)..
More Ubisoft tower games for a while.
I really don't see anything in the triple A space changing things up at all. Games are too much of a risk so they will play it safe with the usual cover shooters and ubi-open worlds.
Something will come along and shake the industry up a bit, something like Dark Souls, PUBG or Minecraft, but it will come from the indie space and then be taken up by the triple A industry.
Is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided any good? I've never played any of the series before.
I agree Halo Infinite is amazing. They really nailed it, feels like classic Halo 3/Reach gameplay.
It's incredible. Totally nails that 'just one more game' feeling. Perfect timing for it too with CoD and Battlefield stinking the place out so much this year.
Yes, it's good. Even Human Revolutions it's worth a play, the others are way too dated unless you're really a fan. It's a shame that they shelved the series.
The Bellic cousins have been through a lot together in GTA IV.
Is this GTA IV?
Yes indeed.
You love that game, cousin lets go bowling....
Not right now Roman as I'm getting pissed with Packie instead.
I went back to that game a year or year and half ago after hearing you talk about it and was disappointed it has aged badly it is a game that could do with a remaster.
GTA IV was my least favourite one of the 3D era.
Skyrim black screen of death has been fixed.
Hurrah
Not next gen but ... I'm hoping BOTW2 has a good few tricks up it's sleeve. And I'm hoping for a Mario Odyssey 2. Also, I'd like a fresh AAA 2D Donkey Kong or Mario platformer.
To be honest, me just stepping out of the Nintendo pale recently, the Xbox Series X ain't blowing my socks off. Beautiful hardware. 4k 60 FPS is beautiful and fast loading a game changer, but only RDR2, Skyrim and Ori Will of the Wisps remain memorable for me. All last gen.
I'm really interested in what the Ori team does next. They get it. Then there is Starfield, which I hope, is brilliant.
I've been itching for Hellblade 2 ever since that trailer. I'd buy a Series X just for that.
This generation has been off to a slow start alright. I'm mostly playing last gen games on my Series X.
My Switch is simply gathering dust until I travel. I'm not into Nintendo games at all.
Games I played recently enough that left a mark although not current gen games are Supraland(gamepass), Prey(gamepass also), Dishonored(gamepass also but I'm only just playing it and find it good and then there are two more games in the franchise also on gamepass). Yes I picked game on Gamepass but if you have a Xbox and don't have that what the hell is the point.
The main reason I bought a PS5 is to play the more visually impressive PS4 games in my backlog like Days Gone, God of War etc. I can't think of many current-gen games that I'm excited for.
Yeah, GamePass is allowing me to try games I never played before, and a good chunk have some form of upgrade.
Yep, got GamePass. Actually reminds me, I enjoyed Control a lot.
I think I go into analysis paralysis with GamePass, in the same way I do with Netflix.
I forgot to mention MS Flight Sim, which is incredible if you like flight Sims ... And I thought I would, but I have not had the time to invest in it.
If you like first person shooters, racing, sports games .... then Xbox has a lot to offer, especially on GamePass and for next gen. Forza 5 recently and Halo of course, just around the corner.
Random question, but can anyone suggest some games with a Capture the Flag mode that are not FPS / third person shooter? There must be some good top down examples, beat em ups etc?
There was Fat Princess but servers are probably loooooong shut down.
Splatoon has some good modes that play like that as well and doesn't really play like a tradition third person shooter but it's a stretch to say that.
Oh man
RETURN FIRE
all time classic:
Didn't future cop LAPD have a proto moba split screen multiplayer?
Well I can't game for the next two weeks as I'm minding a mental Staffordshire Bull terrier four month old pup. Even as I type this she is biting me with those sharp puppy teeth. I have cuts on my feet, hands and arms. I even had to bring her for a walk a while ago which isn't a bad thing I suppose get some badly needed fresh air. I haven't gone for a walk in months. I was enjoying Dishonored too. I suppose it can wait.
Sounds like Chop in GTA5.
You need to take her on long walks, socialise her and tire her out. Will do you a world of good too.
I posted this last year and got some great feedback so here i go again. I'm looking to get my niece's a game for their switch. Super Mario Party went down a treat last year, can anyone recommend what's a good game for this season? I saw there's a mario rabbids battle game but it looks shyte. Preteen age group, thanks.
Overcooked or jack box.
Overcooked 1 & 2 for 25, good price?
