Re: Currently Playing
Yeah it was an interesting curio back in the day. I bought it and had some fun with it, before it all got a bit frustrating. I probably only got about halfway through it.

Re: The Witcher - The Netflix Series
I did enjoy the first season, but only now after seeing the excellent Last of Us and Fallout shows, it has rather gone down in my estimation (when it comes to game adaptations). In hindsight, it was pretty patchy.

Re: Currently Playing
Just be thankful you didn't get rinsed! The amounts of money some people have liberally spaffed towards this project is eye-watering.

Re: Sad news about Solitaire
RIP Todd.
Although I never played online with him, I recall the odd chat with him on here & PW over the last 20 years or so. Was always a very friendly chap.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
It's brilliant stuff. As far as game-based TV shows go, I'd still probably put The Last of Us S1 slightly ahead of it, that has more depth and a really great narrative. More thought-provoking too. But Fallout is just so damn enjoyable it feels a bit unfair to criticise it for that. They've nailed th...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
I just love how well put-together the first one is, it's been 2 or 3 years since I last saw it. It really feels like a bunch of New York university drop-outs who strike it big, the way it's filmed feels authentic. It has a really gritty, grimy aesthetic. Plus I love the dry sense of humour that runs...

Re: General Gaming News
Yeah, open world games when done right are fine, they're not to blame for anything. There's a massive demand for them, a lot of gamers prefer them to shorter, linear, story-lead games. Or at the very least want to experience them along side each other. They used to be priced very reasonably on PC too.

Re: General Gaming News
I occasionally think about dipping my toe back into gaming, but these new release prices I'm seeing on some AAA games have transformed it into a completely different proposition these days on PC. Some of these games I wouldn't touch with a bargepole, no matter how good they were, whereas 10-12 years...

Re: Currently Playing
Yeah, TR2 always was a tad overrated.
I'm thinking of giving this a go. I might wait for a few patches and updates first. I'm seeing a few reports of graphical issues affecting the gameplay, but in theory it sounds great.

Re: The F1 thread
I wouldn't be surprised if there are minimum painted area requirements from next season. It's not a good look at all.

I noticed some mild slowdown with ABP over the last few days on Firefox, but Youtube seems to have sped right back up this morning.

Re: Starfield has a release date
The original Gamebryo engine was apparently very modular, so I never worked out why they couldn't just focus on redeveloping new elements one at a time. But instead they went down the path of just advancing the engine as a whole and relaunching it as Creation. To be fair Skyrim/FO4 did have key impr...

Re: The Last Of Us
Yep, it was a superb season of television. One of the best starts to a TV show I've seen in a long time. I since discovered by accident a certain plot development of Part2, which is a bit irritating as a non-gamer who wanted to go in completely fresh to season 2. I won't repeat it here obviously. Bu...

Re: Starfield has a release date
Yeah, in terms of general Bethesda-bashing, its' worth mentioning Skyrim is one of my favourite games (and most played games) of all time. So I don't agree with there being a fundamental issue with their approach to making games. 95% of the greatness in Skyrim came from everything other than the mai...

Re: Starfield has a release date
I'm just cheesed off because we could have had a TES VI by now instead.
