In the 'middle age' club myself. Remember when games used to be good with the likes of The Last Ninja, Jack the Nipper and Toobin?

Re Sonic ...

Looks like a very early version of the game. 30FPS, pop in, just a 3D environment and Sonic.

Played through the first level of Sniper Elite 5 tonight (GamePass ahoy!) and a lot of it feels like it has been transported in from 2008. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing yet… probably both 😂

I had gone off Girlfriend Reviews for a while. The more popular they became, the more forced their material seemed to be. This is definitely an exception as they review Heavy Rain which reminded me of just how fun/stupid that game was, a brilliant song dedicated to David Cages female characters and the cherry on top, a sound byte of Clancy Brown roasting David Cage.

It's not legit 2008 if it doesn't have the piss filter.

I see Diablo Immortal out today on PC and Android/IOS. Just had a quick look at Play store there, can't find it, anyone else see it?

Apparently on PC it's quite weird, but so far those who've played it on Android/IOS say it's pretty decent..

You can't search for it for some reason. I got it by signing up for it years ago, here's the link to the store on android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blizzard.diablo.immortal

Haven't played it yet as it's "no longer compatible" with my device. Galaxy S10+ which I find strange, should be plenty powerful enough.

That's mad regarding your phone not compatible. I just downloaded it there on my OnePlus 6. Just to see if I was able and I was.

There doesn't seem to be a chat thread in the Xbox section so I said I will put it here. I am only 4,500 GS points away from 100,000 GS on Xbox. I'd say I would be there now if I didn't game stop gaming for a few years and then game on PC for another few years. I went from gaming on Xbox 360 to stoping for a few years then onto PC gaming before I picked up a OG Xbox One late into the cycle. Then picked up a One X and Series X at release for both.

Just watched Sonic 2, which I enjoyed and I see they have the Marvel/DC/Playstation type montage for Sega at the beginning. So got me wondering if they have anything else in the pipeline or what Sega franchise would work well as a live action film.

Looking at a list, I think the following could work... maybe:

- Ecco The Dolphin

- Toejam & Earl

- Yakuza

- Shenmue

I don't think Sega made many games with a strong narrative. They just excelled at making really fun games.

CastorTroy · 04-06-2022 11:29PM

Could imagine the ECCO movie. "Ah this looks like a nice film about a dolphin for little Jimmy.... Dear God, what is wrong with these people?!?!" From the makers of Watership Down and Plague Dogs.

Sega are weird because they don't make many rpgs but when they do they are usually amazing. Phantasy star 2 is a bit dated but narratively was way ahead of anything in 1989. And I still think the panzer dragoon saga and orta duology is a fantastic piece of hard sci Fi.

That game really hasnt ages well. Id go so far as to say it's a bit crap.

Goldeneye achievements are now online. The showcase next Sunday should be good.

wotzgoingon · 06-06-2022 05:00PM

Anyone here play The Pedestrian? I'm currently playing it and it is brilliant, a hidden gem as they would say.

It's great, but I lost patience with it when it became too challenging.

Right that's not good. Haha! I'm not even half way atm and haven't come across anything too challenging yet.

Zero-Cool · 06-06-2022 05:53PM

Ubisoft socials with no chill.

martyos121 · 06-06-2022 06:02PM

I feel obliged to buy an Ubisoft game now, love their response to that. 😁

Potential-Monke · 06-06-2022 08:47PM

I don't get it...

Glad I'm not the only one. Struggling to understand it. Its obviously not MW2. Not sure why they would ban him as a joke, seems more likely they genuinely banned him for posting a competing game on their twitter feed. Not sure where the joke is in it, but I'm probably completely missing it!

Potential-Monke · 06-06-2022 09:05PM

Yeah, it's Far Cry 6, so maybe we're just not 'with it' with regards to gaming media!

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.

Zero-Cool · 06-06-2022 10:03PM

Nothing really to get. Ubi playing a little interaction game and blocking a user just for posting an obviously wrong game, bit harsh but funny :)

Potential-Monke · 06-06-2022 10:15PM

Ah right. Thought that dude was supposed to be someone famous or something!

For a second I thought he was a huge deal, until I realised 44M was how many minutes since he posted and not how many followers he has on Twitter 😳

Pussyhands · 07-06-2022 10:28PM

I'm a very casual gamer. Last game I really played outside fifa is RDR2 as my friend showed me a trailer and said it was made by the same lads as GTA and I got hooked. Love the hype of GTA's too. I would have easily missed RDR2 without my friend showing me. So is there any game coming up or recently released that has as much hype as those games? For example on how little I keep up, I've never played the last of us though people have been saying it's one of the best games ever IIRC?

Can't believe it's coming up 4 years since RDR2. I went to the shop before work to get a copy. Unreal excitement!

What did you love about RDR2? It will help us to recommend a game.

wotzgoingon · 07-06-2022 11:51PM

There is a new Saints Row being released soon. Since it's not out yet I have no idea if it's any good. They also have previous games which were decent. More old games would be Elder scrolls IV Oblivion and Skyrim. Then you have Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4. The Witcher 3. All those games are time sinks and good. You get immersed in each game world like you would in GTA or RRD2. Also did you play the first Red Dead Redemption game as that was good too. I could keep going on as there are loads of games to get immersed in.
