General Videogame Thread

[surrounded by idiots]

Yeah. Just played first hour or two. Very pretty. Enemies see you quickly. Feels like Far Cry. Will have a proper go on Sunday

Yeah same for me, couple of hours in, enjoying it so far and as said its very much Far Cry - which is a good thing

I feel this thread should be split into console and PC sub genres.

but anyway. Moved my PC into my work unit (own a drone/video production business) and haven't games in months and months. A wee break done me good but I'm very excited by the look of Viking City Builder. Feel that some good city building/strategy games are long overdue. Any recommendations would be welcome. Also any underrated games I should try?

Early access games Going Medieval and Foundation are pretty good. Foundation is a pure city builder but unlike the others is gridless so it results in very organic creations. Going Medieval is a colony management game with many mechanisms taken from RimWorld but in three dimensions. Still a bit raw but very promising.

Just ordered myself a Tobii Eye Tracker 5 as I’ve really gotten into DCS (all the WW2 planes). Anyone ever used one? Reviews seem pretty good.

Be interested to hear your thoughts, clipping the IR on and off is a ballache, + the config

You’ve got one?

From what I’ve seen of reviews, the config of the Tobii 5 is dead simple especially when compared with opentrack and trackir

Definitely happier with this than GTAV EE. Although I will lower my expectations until I see what sort of remaster it’s going to be.

Tried the Battlefield Beta last night and it just feels dull. The maps are almost too big and even with 128 man lobbies, there's just nothing really going on. Feels like they've tried to be more Call of Duty than Battlefield as well.

Think I'll wait till it comes on GamePass rather than spend £70 on it.

Got potential to be a great game, but I just feel like they’ve made the maps to big. This is a mid sized map for 2042, so imagine how big the biggest one is going to be!

Been playing for a couple of days now, they’ve got the obvious bugs and issues which are easily fixed. But I just think the gunplay is so much different to BFV which was pretty much spot on. I went on Warzone for a few games last night after playing the beta and the gun play in Warzone was so much more enjoyable. I’m disgusted to say that as I’m a BF till I die guy. Maybe it will take some time to get used to, BF is generally a lot a harder to control guns so I’ll stick with it. Just feels clunky at the minute.

Given the lack of GTA 6 there will be high expectations on rockstar to deliver something good. Their work is generally good. So here’s hoping they deliver. Still no word of a date.

I’m predicting by the end of November. Always wanted to play a remastered Vice City and San Andreas.
