Started Undisputed tonight, nice to have a boxing game after so long without. It’s good but can be annoying, only had four fights won my first 3 by KO but had to knock them down 5 times each for the stoppage. Got to the final and lost a UD got dropped in the first and third and dropped him in the second. Very much felt like the opponent got better for the final

Im enjoying it, but find it frustrating whenever or wherever you knock your opponent down the same repetitive cut scene has them trying to get up from the middle of the ring

Yep it’s the little things, I started with a quick match and Jonny nelson said the same thing at the start of every round. Rather not have commentary if that’s the case

Yeh the commentary is so repetitive it’s a joke, enjoying the game overall so far though

Battfield Vietnam on pc for me, I remember grouping up and flying a Huey Dow the river with the music blaring in the speakers dropping veryone in the centre of a battle and flying out, what a giggle it was.

They have reinvented the old one in a 2024 version....so they may do it with that one too.
The music was great in that game.....added to the buzz and made it real.

After some advice, not a videogame question but a general pc one.

My daughter is currently doing a BTEC in games technology and the likelihood is she’ll carry that on to a degree course - it’s either that or an apprenticeship as there’s a few games companies that partner with the college she’s at.

Her PC at home’s an entry to mid level gaming PC that she got three years ago. Rather than upgrade, I’m thinking of getting her a new build that’ll hopefully keep her going for a few years. The two main bits of software they use are Unreal Engine and then Maya for 3d rendering.

Any idea what gpu/cpu I should be looking at? I tend to buy pcs prebuilt from scan but been out of the game for a while now and not sure what’s considered a good build or capable of running what she needs.

Me and the missus have just completed Far Cry 5 in co-op. Great fun.

Started Far Cry 6 together last night.

We couldn't get into Far Cry 6. Way too much fannying about with weapons and just not feeling the guerilla vibe at all.

Far Cry New Dawn is ok so far. Doing it in co-op and much more relatable after the great time we had with 5.

I kept on trying to sort out a wing suit in Far Cry 6 and then I remembered it wasn't Just Cause!

I played Far Cry 6 for free and still felt ripped off. Obviously changed writers from 3, 4 and 5. New Dawn was okay let you said I just felt it was missing something and they'd stripped a lot away from what made 5 brilliant.

Primal is well worth a look. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I'd only ever played 5 and this was because of it being on games pass after I bought a couple of Xbox for us, coming from a PS4, so will have a crack at Primal in my own time when we're not playing together.

New Dawn is keeping us entertained for a few hours and looks like we'll play it to completion. Far Cry 6 though. Meh. Overly complicated when we just want something to settle into without too much faff and patience.
