Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
Just had a weird experience. I was on the phone to my mum, having a catch-up, when the call went silent. This in itself isn’t especially unusual as the mast near me is a wreck (it’s been repeatedly vandalised), but what happened next was very odd. After five seconds or so of silence and me asking if...

Re: General Gaming News
People rightly make a big deal of concurrent players as they are a good guide but they are not a be-all and end-all as for one it doesn't include console. Also important to remember that many (probably most) people played Starfield on Gamepass. It's only weirdos like me who bought the damn thing th...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Maybe I'm just not remembering the games all that well, but I felt the show takes itself maybe a little too seriously, there's not as much humour as I would have expected. Conversely, I've seen people complaining that there's too much humour in it. :lol: They'll never win everyone. If you go back t...

Re: General Gaming News
Yes, BG3 is a far more successful and popular game, but the point is that the dropoff of Starfield players is not the death knell that the internet seems to have decided it is. It's pretty much the same trend line as BG3.

Re: General Gaming News
I wonder how those figures compare to something like BG3, which is a similar size for a single playthrough, because for a non-live service single player game I'd expect there to be that sort of downward curve and dropoff after release. For this sort of game, I'd play through it once at release for m...

Re: General Gaming News
It's hard to imagine anyone being that bothered about that :/ I think there will be plenty of people looking forward to it. Starfield is one of those games about which the agenda was set by the people who didn't like it and ignores the thousands of people who did like it. Because the general consen...

Re: General Gaming News
I’ve also had stuttering, as well as multiple crashes to desktop since the update. Had played for about 30 hours prior to update with none of those issues.

Re: General Gaming News
I don't think this patch is really aimed at people playing on PC, they seem to have focused mostly on console stuff from what I have seen. That's the most dismaying thing about it - they've bust a load of stuff on PC for little to no tangible benefit. They've added a smattering of Creation Club min...

Re: General Gaming News
It’s a proper mess, by most accounts. I’ve been playing Fallout 4 on PC for the last week and made sure that I didn’t use any mods that use the script extender because that has inevitably broken, along with all mods that depend on it. Nevertheless, the update has disabled the mods I was using. Thank...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Fallout One ep... I fooking loved the pre-bombs section. I thought that was really so well done. The rest is... well... it’s very faithful to the Bethesda feel. Honestly, it’s faithful to Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas too. Tim Cain gave it his stamp of approval, the showrunner has being playing them s...

Re: Gaming laptops and fan noise
I’ve had a couple of gaming laptops. On my older Razer laptop, the fans did still make a fair amount of noise when idle, especially in hot weather. Unfortunately it got worse and I discovered that the battery pack was swelling to dangerous levels, which was causing some serious overheating. On my ne...

Re: Forum Bugs and Errors Reporting Thread
Has someone made a change to the forum layout? My screen is 'backwards' with the details of the poster to the right of the post and the buttons at the bottom of the screen have reversed. I have used forums in the standard layout forever and this reversal just makes my brain scream wrong . EDIT and ...
