Re: Blue cards

I remember when they first came up with this stupid idea. It was at exactly the same time as the idea of stopping the match clock when the ball is out of play so that added time wouldn't ever be needed. The latter proposal made infinitely more sense so of course they're going with the former. Addin...

Re: Your first game

River Raid.

Played it on my Uncles C64 when my mum went into labour and I spent the night there.

Instantly hooked.

Also remember him buying me a massive mint flavoured ice cream that evening. (he was my favourite uncle)

Re: Little things that irritate you

People who preorder things with the sole intention of making a profit: concert tickets in general, and in todays case the new Xbox Series X.

Just let people who actually want the things pay face value.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3

The game is fantastic. I'm totally sold on the new look and mechanics. AD&D meets Xcom. Feels very much like playing the boardgame Descent.

Highly recommend it, even in early access.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3

Don't like the look of it. Should have kept the traditional style of the first two.

I'll buy it, but i'll be complaining about it as I play it.

Re: State of Decay 2

I did play the first one. Found it fun, but felt it would have been so much better with someone else to play with.

Give me a shout if you fancy multiplayer. My Xbox live tag is: Viconia DeVir

Are you playing alone, or with friends?

I have it via game pass too, but haven't tried it yet due to my friend defecting to playstation.

Re: What are you playing right now?

Finally bought a Switch to try Breath of the Wild. Unpacked it, charged to battery, got ready to play.... then my 6 year old daughter hijacked it to play Animal Crossing. Haven't managed to play anything yet!

Re: Gaming console?

Can't really argue the fact that PS4 was a better machine, and had better exclusives (and this is coming from an xbox one owner). My biggest problem with the Playstation, is the positioning of the left analogue stick. For that reason alone i'll stick to xbox, as I think the controller is much better.

Re: Games of the decade

It's probably my number 1 game of the decade UTJ.

So simple to pickup, yet so difficult to master. It's effectively a modern version of Sensible Soccer.

Re: Steam Link device or App

I have 2 steam links (one in the living room, one in the bedroom) I have a steam controller, but hardly use it as i think the buttons are too small. The link has 3 USB ports, so you can use a wireless xbox controller with a dongle for gamepad games. For mouse and keyboard games, i have a wireless M&...

Re: What are you playing right now?

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - Got it via games with gold on the xbox one. Still fantastic 16 years after playing it on the PC.

Best Star Wars game ever (I love kotor games, but this one really makes you feel like a Jedi).

Re: The one you couldn't love - but should've

Agree on Witcher III, i've also tried twice and bounced right off it. Same with Fallout III & IV. Although I enjoyed and played Red Dead Redemption, I find it inferior to GTA. I think i get most enjoyment in the sandbox format when you can just drive around and listen to music. But i never could...

Re: #59 Sweden v England - Quarter Finals ~ Match thread

Watched the game in a pub just outside Gothenburg (Partille) I was the only Englishman there, but i did my very best to make enough noise. The rest of the people there were very gracious in defeat, and I received a fair few handshakes at full time. I've got a lot of respect for Sweden, but it feels ...

Re: Quarter Finals - Sweden v England~ Match thread

This will be the worst game of the world cup. Sweden are a horrible side, they will aim to waste time as much as possibly, sit back and try to get something on the counter. I just can't see us winning this sadly. Glad my holiday starts on Friday, or work will be a nightmare.
