Another handy tip if you're that way inclined, save the game just before killing a boss level enemy, the level of items they have, generate once they are dead, so if you're unhappy with the reward afterwards you can reload, kill them again and see if you get better stuff

My first boss ran off, I didn't even get to kill him.

Downloaded the whole thing to my HDD instead of SSD last night, stuttery as anything. So pissed off.

I got Hogwarts Legacy for my birthday today. Been holding off from getting it as i've had a big backlog of games to play. Looks very good from what i've seen!

Just finishing off Ratchet & Clank & I'll then be starting on Hogwarts. Need to finish them both off in a month ready for Spiderman 2!

Oh blimey I didn't realise that was out so soon! Got Hogwarts Legacy & about half of Horizon: Forbidden West to get through! Spiderman might have to wait until Xmas

Funnily enough Horizon is the one I'm saving until all the others are done!

Anyone here managed to test the new FIFA 24 FC24 yet? 

I got a beta code, played 3 games and deleted the beta, it's literally the same game but now they've shoehorned women into it, and it's super unrealistic. Watching a 5'6" Kerr outmuscle and out jump 6'3" defenders was an absolute joke, now EA aren't tied to FIFA they are less constrained with what they can do, so expect to see ultimate teams with Justin Bieber on the wing, Elastigirl in goal and Winston Churchill as an all action defensive midfielder 

I've just started Baldur's Gate 3 on the PS5, I’ve been loving it so far.

EA are such greedy fuck wits. If they listened to their customers they would have an excellent product in their FIFA series. Love if someone (triple A developers due to the financial aspect of it)can pick up the FIFA rights and do what every gamer and football person would love. Plus bring back the ability to do a two footed challenge on the goalkeeper. 

I'm surprised 2k haven't given it a crack yet, they have nailed golf and basketball recently, only problem is they are just as greedy as EA when it comes to micro transactions.

Whatever happened to the other football IPs that were being developed for the next gen? I can't for the life of me remember the names of them but recall a couple of teams signing partnerships with them

Baldur's Gate 3 is fantastic. Game of the year IMO 

Just ordered my first gaming laptop last week and this is top of the list, alongside Diablo 4. Got to wait 6 weeks for it to turn up but will only make it all the sweeter!

I’ve ploughed about 250 hours into D4 already, it’s good but you’ll be joining at the right time really. The updates for season 2 look like big improvements.

Once you’re up and running give me a shout and I’ll happily jump in game with you.

Nice one, will drop you a message when I'm online! 

Can’t wait for FFVII Rebirth, new trailer just came out tonight. I got the original on my sons Switch to play it again, completed it then bought the remaster of Crisis Core and ended up buying a PS5 to play Remake. https://youtu.be/lNVL-ygqw3w?si=UvIOdF3zImEnIPRk

I think it's an alright game, but I am bitterly disappointed by the space travel. There's too many menus, especially coming from a game like No Man's Sky where you seamlessly land 

Yeah but No Mans Sky has taken years to get to where it is now. 

A few updates, some mods here and there and the game will benefit hugely. 

I found No Mans Sky a bit boring as there wasn't enough going on. I'd say for me, the balance is a bit better here. I am however really pissed off at the lack of main character voice acting. 

I'm assuming that the lack of main character voice acting is due to the poor implementation of it in Fallout 4, the dialogue for the main character in Fallout 4 compared to Fallout 3 and (especially) New Vegas is pretty bad

Looks much bigger than FFVII Remake. Stretching from first leaving Midgar all the way up to discovering the ultimate weapons. How many parts did they say it would be again?

Three parts with this being the second. There’s a few quotes on the official Twitter page, one of them mentions this one being “nearly 100 hours of adventure”. 

Just started my first new game plus on Starfield. 6 days, 14 hours in 😅
