Re: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

https://youtu.be/J9SgqvMWD0I It seems that the game is less of an Odyssey 2 (Origins 3) than people expected, going by the previews. I can’t deny, it looks really cool. I will be going WatchDogs though as it will undoubtedly be shorter and more manageable. The AC games have essentially turned into ...

Re: The big Coronavirus (COVID-19) thread

My local M&S was in the news because somebody on staff got it and management actively withheld who got it and what department they were in. They told staff not to isolate and just “get on with it”.

Fuck. That. That should not be allowed.

Re: PS5 - Sony's big boy

Look cool, but also a lot of information on the screen.Wonder how many third parties will do the extra work to support and localise all those features? That’s something some devs I follow spoke at today. The activities and hints stuff is cool in theory but that’s a lot more work for the devs to do ...

Re: The Boys [Amazon Prime]

The headline is a bit bait-like but a good interview with Eric Kripke and how Superheroes originate from a sort of fascist place. How he/they changed frustrations of today into the show and how that plays out. I don’t agree with everything said in it but it’s quite interesting. Season 2 spoilers in ...

Re: PS5 - Sony's big boy

I believe that ecosystem argument is why Xbox has been so aggressive with their ecosystem. Play Anywhere, XCloud, Smart Delivery, Game Pass Ultimate and probably some stuff I’m forgetting. They know how many people are engrained in other systems because XBO was a flop and Microsoft gave up when Halo...

Re: PS5 - Sony's big boy

Xbox Series consoles being out in the press’s hands over a month from shipping is actually the outlier. Previous generations, the hardware wouldn’t turn up for review until the week of release. A few times big sites like IGN have had to flat out buy their own units just to get coverage in time.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

https://youtu.be/d0epU_G4GWY Did you enjoy AC Origins or Odyssey but prefer Vikings in England? Then have I got the game for you. This looks cool but Odyssey was huuuuuge. Like, anxiety inducing gigantic. That’s the single biggest thing that makes me not want to play this. The Ubisoft open world fo...
