Are the lobbies back? I saw something on them on Twitter.

Half tempted to get it on PS5 as get a headset to go old school and piss about shouting abuse.

Yeah lobbies are back but i've not really come across much. Just one guy berating his team for being shit and then getting in a huge slanging match with some girl.

Yeah, defo some cheating going on.

Not paying £60 for it to go the same way as Warzone 1 did with hackers, people ripped into Riot for Vanguard but that shit works on Valorant never come across a single hacker.

I guess it depends how serious you play. I tend to just fuck about most game, rush all the time so i need to be playing respawn type matches. If you're a search and destroy guy or something similar to Valorant, then it will seriously fuck you off if there's cheating.

If you get it, send me your activision account and i'll add you on mine.

No Mans Sky worth going back to then? I played it when it came out and like most people went into it with huge expectations and was disappointed by the lack of content and quality in it. Sounds like they have done a hell of a lot to it to really improve it.

Great game but it’s massive, I sort of got lost at what to actually do,they do like a mini quest every few weeks that you can follow although I binned the perma death one!

It's a 10/10 game. The only 'controversy' was a bunch of kids or right wing Americans who decided to hate it because it has strong women and representation in it, with one of those women doing sumat bad to their favourite character. Of course there are people who didn't like it and aren't arsed about representation etc, but most of the controversy was around that. If you're a normal person and literally not arsed about a gay character etc, and understand that the main story beat was necessary to give the game a real emotional purpose, then you'll likely absolutely love it. It's a incredibly well written, beautifully performed game with ridiculously immersive and satisfying gameplay. Enjoy it! It gets better and better.

Yes, I'm completely immersed in it. I appreciate developers who do things the way they want to (the only way in which things get pushed forward) and this game strikes me as a good example of that.

For me, I would save 10/10 ratings for only the absolute cream from the history of gaming (basically The Secret of Monkey Island, Kick Off 2 and Grand Theft Auto 3) but this is definitely an excellent game.

Wrath of the Lich King classic comes out 11pm Tuesday night, can't wait!!

Can I ask why you play classic ? I played from Vanilla and to go back to doing it all again just seems a chore, I did try classic when it first came out a few years ago but it was so slow I jacked it at level 10.

Minecraft in space, essentially. I liked it.

I played from Tbc right through, I never played Vanilla so wanted to try it, got in with a good guild and stick with them, hated tbc this time around, my glasses must have been rose tinted, I'm hoping it's not the same for wrath, going back to Ulduar is exciting though
