Do we know if they've "fixed" the monster level scaling? I recall that making exploration less exciting as it meant that every enemy you ever met was level-appropriate, and was generally not liked by players. I have it in my head that this was something they eventually patched out of the original r...

I'll give it a look but like others I barely played it so don't have much attachment to it outside of the classic Consolvania review.

There are two intriguing details that appear to be accurate from the leaks: - Bethesda have outsourced it - It’s in UE5 The latter is surely proof of concept that ES6 could work in UE5, presumably with some Creation gubbins in the back end. Can’t wait to see what the results are like. Oh, and appar...

It's not just a handheld to be fair. I expected around £400 considering how component prices have gone up a lot since 2016. Game prices are a bit more eye opening with some first party games £75 for the physical version. I'd always felt that if I was going to buy a Switch 2 it would be next year so ...

It's a game that clearly shows the limits of it's budget. I have found the exploration and general mystery to be rather compelling and have enjoyed discovering new stuff and slowly unlocking new parts of the institute. I do think it would have been a better game if they had scrapped the combat and m...

Agree that it looks nice, combat isn't great though and the AI is pretty bad. Outside that though I am enjoying the fact that you are just out there investigating a mystery and there aren't really quests per say, just leads to follow.

Been a while since I posted one of these.

I've really been enjoying Avowed, helps that I have a soft spot for the Pillars lore as PoE 2 is one of my favourite cRPGs. I think the combat is a lot of fun, some of the best melee combat I've used in one of these types of games. I also like the smaller maps and more low key feel to the game. I've...

You never want to see people lose their jobs of course but all the senior team left years ago and took a lot of staff with them so it's just a name nowadays.

It's not rose tinted glasses for me, BF1942 was just pure fun. Yes it was janky but also I could kill a tank by standing on a grenade box and throwing grenades. The move to realism that the series followed after that was never really as interesting to me.

I've never followed these games that closely in terms of the developers, have they said why they think save potions are a good idea?

I cancelled my CIv VII pre-order after seeing the reviews, I knew it would come in hot but looks like it is rougher than I thought it would be. I might pick this up instead. Didn't play the first game but the stuff I have seen about how this is a major improvement and basically a medieval version of...

Lol read that this morning. Musk is so fucking odd, why is he trying to pass himself off as a 'l33t gam3r'? There's literally no need for it.

Because he is a terribly insecure person and wants people to like him.

A belated Happy Christmas to all, I hope you had a good one!
