The fact rockstar had the audacity to release GTA V on the PS3, PS4 and now PS5 without bothering to make GTA VI is a joke. Releasing them games as a remaster is also poor form too.

They seem to making shit loads of money from the online content so be surprised if it ever comes along!
 
GTA 6 is absolutely coming out if Rockstar want to stay relevant in ten years time.

I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later but after the Cyberpunk saga I'm prepared to wait a little longer.

AAA gaming seems to have reached a disappointing stage where there's less and less innovation (the likes of Forza Horizon, Far Cry series) and when a true gamer changer comes out like Cyberpunk it gets nowhere near the pre launch hype.

I'm honestly starting to think there's very few studios that can still move games forward in the way we've seen in the past and Rockstar is one of them.

This is why I’m sceptical >>>

GTA 5, in 2020 alone, generated $911 million for its developer Rockstar Games. This, if compared to game's turnover in 2019, shows a 53.11 percent rise in the amount of money spent in GTA 5

It will eventually start to decline. A game that will soon be ten years old can only stay relevant for a finite amount of time.

They will be reinvesting the money they're currently making on GTA 5 and making a new game that will blow GTA 5 out of the water and have something that lasts another 10+ years.
 
SA free on Gamepass on launch is absolutely brilliant. Will be buying the physical copy on 7th December. Love the games, really looking forward to playing VC again. Yes it's a cash grab but from what I've seen it's kinda worth it considering you're basically getting all 3 games for £40 and will definitely get battered over Xmas. I've paid far more to watch us play

San Andreas plus the following makes Gamepass a no brainer leading up to Xmas imo.

Football Manager 2022 - November 9th 2021
Forza Horizon 5 - November 9th
Halo: Infinite - December 8th, 2021

Thought I'd start a save on FM22 with Newcastle just to see what it would be like.

£200m isn't going to fix that mess!

Off to the Belgian lower leagues next for a challenge.

What tactics are you using @bluetonium ? I either get it right and get bored of winning or get it spectacular wrong and bin the game. Thinking of booting fm22 up again.

Wanted to come back to this as I gave it a go today. Positioned it so I could get an idea with the sun shining and the window in the reflection. It's all personal preference I guess but i'm not sure about practicality if the sun is shining and you're in a conservatory. It almost felt like looking in a mirror at times because of the reflection. I guess it could be argued that you'd have that issue with any television and some users of the LG C1 may differ. I think it's fine as long as there's no window behind you or ideally, shut the blinds behind you. Again I'd refer to youtube videos on this.

Also @grunge .

thanks, I’ll check them out

I had a Sony in here but it was unwatchable because it was a shiny glass screen. I have a Philips ambilight in there now and it works great as the screen is more matt, but want to upgrade to an oled or qled now I have the series x

I've only played matches as city so far, so tiki taka 4-3-3 attacking . Always gave to start as city, but you don't learn much about the game other than having great access to scouting.

Am looking at switching to a counter though with my Belgian underdogs now but will probably keep the same shape. We just don't have the technical players or physicality to control games or press relentlessly.
 
Started a Newcastle save on FM22. Fuck me they’ve got some shite playing for them. Spent £200m on about 13 players, so having a very messy first half of the season, but just starting to see signs of a good team developing. Gravenberch, Musiala and Willock are starting to come good and finally seeing their stats Improve. Currently trying to get rid of all the deadwood in the January transfer market. Going to be interesting to see if you get another big summer transfer budget in your second season.

Also to those discussing LG OLED’s, I’ve got one and they’re brilliant. Had mine since last Christmas. I think the technology has moved on now so less chance of burn in, but I take care of mine anyway and try keep off static pictures for to long.

This is why I mostly play indie games now. That’s where the innovation is. No micro transactions, no overly competitive multiplayer. Just gaming how it always used to be. Fun.
 
Having not bothered about Bloodborne when I first played it, I am seriously getting addicted to it now. I just beat the Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne bosses and I screamed like I scored an injury-time winner in a CL final. Amazing game tbh. Thanks @waspish for telling me to keep playing.
 
Age of Empires IV coming in with an 80+gb download and 132gb install.

They really need to start offering an option not to download the 4k stuff if you don't want it.
