General Videogame Thread

I've got more than enough hours in ED (2k or so), although less so since the last major update with all the walking around stuff. It's great for passing a few mindless hours, exploring especially. It does get repetetive, and fast, but there are plenty of little stories you can go and take in. Wouldn't touch PVP as the grind to get good enough stuff is just too much for me, although aside from a decidacted section, the MP is on its way out anyway.

I can't particulary comment on SC as not touched it for a while, but I'd say it has more lengevity than ED right now, and is probably more of an experience story wise, I might resinstall it and see what it's like now and get back.

I initially really enjoyed ED but probably more from a nostalgic perspective rather than amazing game play. Eventually I found it really repetitive and struggled to find much of a storyline / direction in it to keep me going. One of those that might improve over time as more content was added like no mans sky is apparently.

I was obsessed with ED for a while but, alas, I bought it on PS4 because my PC at the time was crappy, and the console versions are certainly inferior to PC (the latter having so many useful add-ons).

I took a hiatus from the game, aiming to get back into it with Odyssey, but that has been very delayed on console. Besides, given what a technical mess it is on PC, I can't see how it can possibly run on PS4/XBO.

It's a shame, because it can be a great game, but I feel that the developers are ignoring what players want; namely, the ability to walk around your ship and stations, and proper atmospheric planets. Odyssey has given us a FPS element and thin-atmosphere planets, which is nice, but not really what players yearned for. ED stands out when it is immersive - those draw-dropping moments at things you see and here - and it feels it's becoming stale now after 6 years or so.
 
Epic games are giving a ten quid voucher out to anyone that signs up for their newsletter. Means I could get the highly rated Disco Elysium for £9. Anyone played it?

Also FM 22 beta starts today. Be spending most of the weekend on that plus levelling up in Yakuza Like a Dragon I think.

Yep. It’s a modern classic. Absolute masterpiece. Probably the best writing in a video game in history. It’s a steal at full price never mind £9, just get it!

Newcastle owners already patched into FM22.

£200M transfer budget and your £1.7M under the wage budget
 
Anyone taken the plunge and upgraded to windows 11 yet? My laptop is asking me if I want to and says it’s already downloaded and just needs installing.

Finally got round to getting an LG C1 (55) to go with the PS5. My word. So far only played Ratchet and Clank but the picture quality is impressive.

I’d like to know this too. Been looking at them for a bit but holding off to see if any better deals come up near Christmas / Black Friday, but it will be going in the conservatory so I need one that doesn’t reflect much.
 
Witcher 2 £3.79 never played it so well worth the dosh played for 2 hours slow going but graphics look alright! Oh Witcher 3 is 6.99 might get that! Oh it’s on the Xbox
 
So I have a question for people who played Bloodborne. I am stuck at the Cleric Beast boss fight. I keep on dying no matter what I do. Any way to call for help from other hunters? Cheers.

Thats further than I got. I honestly never got past the first baddie. Fiendishly difficult game, way beyond my capabilities.

That and the burn in issue surrounding OLEDs did leave me reluctant to go with it originally. It’s setup in a spare room and i have the blinds tilted most of the time in there so I’ve not noticed it. The brightness settings are quite wide-ranging and I’ve got AI settings on so that may be a factor. I’ll leave the blinds open tomorrow in the day to get more of an idea and get back to you on it.

I think there’s a few youtube videos surrounding this specifically that can probably can answer that query too.
