General gaming discussion

Yep, Nintendo used to be really good with user replaceable batteries until the Switch I think. But companies like Apple will complain and the fan boys will follow. Also XBox controller supports regular AAs, rechargeable AAs and rechargeable battery packs and still people complain.

The argument will be that to make devices smaller, waterproof etc you need to seal the battery in away from user meddling ... but it's just to make people replace the device rather than just replace the battery.

More FF7R thoughts. Loving it. First game I've been properly into since probably Hades. RE4R was great too but it wasn't really a new experience.

I was blasting through the combat as Tifa and having fun that way. Now there are harder battles that actually require thought and switching characters and I'm still enjoying that. Going through it at a snail's pace though but that's just life. At the point where Aerith joins as a party member.

I just had PTSD flashbacks to an oft fought skirmish in the console wars, when there would be arguments over how primitive the xbox controllers were, vs the dualshocks inbuilt batteries.

Yes, I am. First one was fantastic!

I'd like to, but all my stores are looking for a 12 digit code, that's got 16?

If you go to their tweet, they have a 2nd tweet with instructions. You enter that code on the ubi website with your psn linked and you'll get a download.

Ah, don't suppose you want to post that link here? Won't let me view the Tweet unless I sign in. And fuk twitter.

Ledge! Went through it all only to find out I'm apparantly part of the Insider program which automatically signs me up to betas. Yurt! Weekend sorted (outside of the All-Ireland that is!). Will be interesting to compare it to FH5, seeing as that appears to be the general consensus. But with planes and boats n stuff.

You lucky thing. Jordan got nothing. #prayforjordan

Edit - all iz kool now. Just got my The Crew Motorfest beta code for PS5.

Got a cheap 2nd hand copy of Skyrim Special Edition that upgrades for free to next gen. This is me weaning myself off XBox GamePass, my sub is up in October. Also, there is something strangely timeless about this game. I think it's the music and the simplicity of it, and the characters and setting feel authentic. Also, it's easy to revisit after a long time away. Other games are difficult to continue if you leave them for any length of time.

Yup, have that too, sold the last gen version and got the Series X version. Also nice to wander around in.
