THE FUTURE

Sure does, but if that’s what I need to play part 2 of the FF7 remake then 💸💸💸💸.

this might be the first time in a while i don’t buy a new gaming system, haven’t touched my xbox much in the last year or two. if i was forced to though, i can’t see myself buying microsoft again, so ps5 it is despite that awful design.

303abuser Same, sticking with my Switch for the foreseeable.

Looks horrific - it’ll be going horizontal on one of the white shelves under the tele, so the missus may never even notice.

Along_the_Wire just hide it behind 15 bottles of wine mate

The best part is always the slimmer less noisy, less expensive version that doesn’t get 1000 degrees after thirty minutes of game play but comes out 2 years later.

Millsy Today’s top tip right here.

Amps i’m worried i’m out-growing video games. i think the micro-transaction model is starting to get to me as much as anything else.

Wally

Along_the_Wire make sure you play the DLC too. Think it’s called ‘Left Behind’. Well worth it.

Along_the_Wire

Wally Roger that, cheers mate.

How long have you lads had dev kits for Wally? What’s the inside scoop on it?

Amps

303abuser Yeah, I have to make time to sit and play, otherwise it doesn’t happen.

Amps that’s me, if given the choice between making music and playing video games, music tends to win. i’ve always enjoyed online too, but as the reflexes slow down, that’s not getting any easier either haha.

Along_the_Wire

Amps Yeah, same this end.

I’m getting really shit at MP and that used to be the really big draw for me. Getting into TLOU has been a real treat though.

Millsy

Trouble is these massive games like rdr2, the witcher etc take fucking ages to get through. I’m definitely warming more to well polished 20 - 25 hour max games like Tomb Raider. Uncharted, tlou etc. But even they take yonks when snatching an hour here or there between nags.

Along_the_Wire

Millsy Completely agree with that, Millsy. That was part of the appeal with MP, you could just pick it up and have a few games. RDR2 was just too big for me and there was too much riding about, I like things a little more linear. Having said that, I fucking love GTA

Millsy I have gone back to running N64 and MegaDrive games on Emulators, and Command and Conquer remakes, and having more fun than I have in recent memory with games.

Top tip lads: use one of those ‘how long to complete a game’ sites and sort your play order by time taken. I usually do long->short->long->short to balance things out. Keeps things fresh.

Tbh, I think there’s only a few mega epics these days. Love them. Nothing like a quality RPG with LOADS OF EXPLORING. 👍🏻😂
