Assassin's creed odyssey is immense (I know @Damocles I pre ordered)
Loving the difficulty and the exploration mode.
Exploration mode places NO markers on the map for quests. You have to wander and spot everything before it becomes active.
New fighting mechanics take some getting used to but when you do it feels so much more fluid than anything in the series to date.

No man's sky should be the only evidence anyone needs to know not to preorder games

I was hoping to find a nice bargain on a Graphics Card(older stock) as they release the latest and greatest in the run up to Christmas but I've noticed the prices have seemed off for a while, it seems like anyone else hoping to do the same might be out of luck. I had heard it was something to do with the cryptocurrency gold rush but I understand the situation fully now after reading the below article, it's well explained if anyone else was wondering about it:

I find it quite annoying, I was hoping it would be a temporary thing but who knows how long this will last? Nvidia are going to release some cryptocurrency-centric cards which might help. At least the RAM shortage is over apparently(since August) which was compounding matters, maybe prices will drop a bit after all but there's no signs yet.

Curry's have a great deal on the X box today in case folk are keeping powder dry for the upcoming November sales .A one terrabyte rig with two controllers Fifa 19 -project cars 2 and Teken 7 for an unbelievable £229.99.Even a Black Friday deal wont beat this as it makes this X box bare bone @ the £80 mark.

Annoying isn't it? I built my PC back in 2014 and it's chugging these days and wanted to build a new one but I just can't justify the cost with the prices the parts cost these days.
Buy an Nvidia Shield and use geforce now. You can always sell it when they start charging.Annoying isn't it? I built my PC back in 2014 and it's chugging these days and wanted to build a new one but I just can't justify the cost with the prices the parts cost these days.

I'm really looking forward to BF5 but what's with the sudden inclusion of women on the front lines of WWII?

Madness isn't it. Almost as unrealistic as being able to come back to life when you have died .

Without the ability to go back in time 75 years and actually be involved in a WWII battle, it is impossible for it to be 100% real, OBVIOUSLY! You can go OTT the other way and suggest they add drones or modern fighter jets. However, there has to be a balance of fun and realism. It wouldn't be much of a game if you died once and could then never play the game again, would it ffs?Madness isn't it. Almost as unrealistic as being able to come back to life when you have died .

And it doesn't really detract from the enjoyment if you are killing the enemy sporting a pair of tits.

It detracts from the realism. That was my point!!!And it doesn't really detract from the enjoyment if you are killing the enemy sporting a pair of tits.
You might find it just as fun if players were running around the Battlefield in shell-suits. Personally, I'd disapprove of that too.
It's my opinion. I didn't like it when they added excalibur style swords in BFH, and I don't like the fact they've put women on the frontline in BF5. It simply did not happen.

That's a really daft point.
Every medium has it's own strengths and drawbacks in telling its story. One of the drawbacks of interactive media is giving the player freedom make mistakes or move off story necessitating a reset to an earlier point.
This would be like saying that The Godfather is a stupid film because there's no way the Corleone's would react like that when there's a whole film crew in the room with cameras.
Also, and this is the most important point here, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. By this, I mean that you state that having historical inaccuracies doesn't detract from your enjoyment of the game. That's great! I'm pleased you're enjoying playing a game. But just because it doesn't affect your enjoyment doesn't mean that anybody who says it affects theirs is illegitimate. They just want to have fun too. Why are you trying to tell them how?

I totally agree with you. It doesn't detract from my enjoyment and I also didn't feel I was preaching to those who do feel that their experience will be tainted by this "inaccuracy" If I have made anyone feel that I am telling them how to enjoy a game then that wasn't my intention.

I agree it did not happen. I also concede that this will effect your enjoyment. I should have realised as Damocles pointed out, that just because I see it as a tiny detail in what will otherwise be a great addition to the series other players might find it a bridge to far in terms of wanting to purchase it and play.
