@Heatman I tried to send this to you via PM, but for some reason your account is unable to receive them. Please check your account settings and clear out messages from your inbox that you no longer need. The title to this topic has been changed. This is because I messed up and mistakenly merged this thread with another thread. I was able to separate the topics again, but the original title was lost. I tried my best to recreate and paraphrase the original title and create a suitable new one based on the thread topic. I would to happy to change the topic title again if you wish. I can assure you that nothing in the post's text has changed, only the title and time stamp. If you followed the original thread, you may have to do again. I apologise for this error and will take more care in future to prevent this happening in the future.

ATTENTION VGR COMMUNITY! I call the attention of @Ja sa bong, @Knight Baridaand @Heatman especially, but I ask that everyone please take notice. I have just locked (and may continue to lock) several threads that have recently been posted on the Sports sub-forum. I have locked them because they discuss transfers, mostly football/soccer related. Wether they be factual, speculative, rumours or discussion on "who should transfer whare", they can all be classed as discussion on transfers. This post is polite reminder we have this pinned thread called "The Transfers Thread" for a reason. These threads on transfers limited to one specific sportsperson. We can't have a new thread for every player that transfers clubs, for example. If we allowed this, the sports sub-forum would flooded with hundreds of threads that are nothing but that. We just can't have that because if bumps down other discussions and is hoplessly impractical. Like I said, we have this thread for a reason. It's for you as much as anyone so you can find the latest discussion on these things in one, convenient place. Please stop posting new, individual threads on transfers. If this continues, we will have to consider more serious action for people who keep posting such threads. And to the members that I have mention, can you please like this post to indicate you have read and understood this.

The way they faked out everybody by mentioning it earlier in the Summerfest presentation and then surprising us with this trailer - absolutely gold. I hope this game adds something fresh to the series.

I haven't seen any recent updates about the Plague Tale TV series. It was announced a while ago, but there’s still no news on production or release dates. Hopefully, we’ll hear more soon!

It's based in Hammerfell so it'll likely be more about the Redguards, Orcs and Bretons in that region since those three races are the most dominant in that area.

I think the key is transparent communication with the community about changes, rather than silent updates that feel like censorship - players respect honesty about why certain content decisions are made.

Ring Fit Adventure completely changed my perspective on fitness gaming - it's actually challenging cardio disguised as an RPG adventure, and the boss battles genuinely get your heart pumping.

Haven't seen anything concrete lately, but the gaming industry's current Hollywood interest suggests it's probably still moving forward, just slowly through development hell.

Thanks a ton!

Yep and it's pretty fun. And with the Unity Engine, the game looks amazing and feels much smoother and the potential to mod it will be even more amazing than Skyrim because Oblivion has more skill trees.

For weather and atmosphere, try True Storms and Enhanced Lights and FX - they completely transform the Commonwealth's mood. Add Darker Nights for more immersive lighting that makes your flashlight actually matter during exploration.

I honestly hope that whatever they are working on ends up being a success. I found it strange as well that a game would be in development for as long as 8 years and still had to be closed down.

I believe "Minecraft" on Xbox Game Pass is perfect for playing with family. It encourages creativity, collaboration, and fun for all ages, making it a great choice for family game nights. Plus, its simple gameplay appeals to everyone.

Rocket League’s solo standard playlist pushes me to refine 1v1 mechanics and boost management; climbing from Bronze to Diamond felt hugely rewarding.

My favorite game that introduces new gameplay mechanics with each level is "Super Mario Maker." It constantly challenges players with fresh ideas, creative level designs, and innovative mechanics, keeping the gameplay exciting and engaging throughout the entire experience.

No problem! I don't have access to DM too. I think the permission was removed or something from long time ago. @DCcan be able to say for sure why it's so. I don't have any problem with the new title you came up. It's cool.

Early access can help developers gather valuable feedback and improve their games before full release. However, it can also lead to rushed launches and player dissatisfaction if expectations aren’t managed. Overall, it’s a double-edged sword that requires careful balance.

I keep going back to “Skyrim” no matter what. Its vast open world, endless quests, and freedom to explore make it addictive. Every time I play, I discover something new, and it always feels like coming home to a familiar, magical universe.

My personal Game of the Year so far is “Elden Ring.” Its breathtaking open world, challenging gameplay, and rich storytelling have kept me hooked. It’s a masterpiece that offers endless exploration and memorable moments, making it the standout game of the year for me.

Who knows? They might just come with an RE-Silent Hill crossover for all we know. I mean, RE is starting to get stale with the same plotlines about some bioweapon being misused and now it's a world-ending threat.

I think they're set to sign Matheus Cunha who's been one of the in-form forwards in the Premier League this season. Even if Man United win the Europa League, their overspending in recent years prevents them from being able to spend too much in the upcoming transfer market.

I dream of a Star Fox and F-Zero racing/combat hybrid where pilots can transition between high-speed racing and aerial dogfights. The shared futuristic aesthetic and focus on piloting skill create natural connections between these dormant franchises. It could revitalize both series simultaneously while creating something entirely new through their combination.

Nintendo's competitive scenes are often more fun-focused and community-driven, emphasizing skill and creativity. In contrast, other platforms might have more intense, high-stakes tournaments. Nintendo's scene tends to be more casual, accessible, and celebrates the love of the game itself.

My dream Nintendo crossover game would combine Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon in an epic adventure. Imagine exploring Hyrule, catching Pokémon, and racing through Mushroom Kingdom—all seamlessly integrated. It would be a fun, immersive experience that celebrates Nintendo’s beloved worlds.

Manchester United have lost 3x this season playing Tottenham. I'm a Manchester United fan but I don't think we have the players to beat Tottenham this season. We currently don't have a striker because Rasmus is 100% crap.

Layers of Fear could be brilliant as an arthouse psychological horror film. Following a painter's descent into madness within a constantly shifting Victorian mansion would allow for stunning visual storytelling and mind-bending reality distortions that film can excel at.

I don't feel like RE9 is going to be anything groundbreaking or new for the series. So I'm not overtly excited for another RE game to be honest.

It's technically from late 2024, but I didn't play Black Myth: Wukong until January, and it completely blew me away. The Chinese mythology setting offers a refreshing break from Western fantasy tropes, and the challenging combat forces thoughtful engagement rather than button mashing. The visual design sets a new standard for environmental storytelling.

Stardew Valley has been my digital comfort food for years. There's something deeply therapeutic about tending crops and building relationships in Pelican Town. Whenever life gets overwhelming, I start a new farm or revisit an old one. The game's seasonal structure perfectly accommodates both short sessions and marathon plays.

Early Access has been a double-edged sword in my experience. It's given us gems like Hades that evolved beautifully with community feedback, but also normalized releasing unfinished products like Baldur's Gate 3, which despite its eventual quality, spent years in development limbo. The model works when developers commit to transparent timelines and consistent updates.

Nah. Bilbao are quite toothless in front of goal. Especially in europe - Rangers were giving them a really tough time with 10 men.

I haven’t pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 yet, but I’m definitely interested. I’m excited to see what improvements it offers and may place an order once I learn more about its features and release date. Fingers crossed it lives up to expectations!

Nope. Not at all - I don't do pre-orders and haven't done it for nearly a decade. I've saved myself from so much misery because of that.

They're both going to get relegated again but this is pretty dope.

I'm actually waiting until the weekend crowds thin out before seeing anything. My experience with big release days has been mixed at best - packed theaters, people talking, and premium pricing. Planning to catch 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' the following Tuesday when I can actually enjoy the experience without distractions.

The 3 teams that got promoted last season were the ones that got relegated again this season. This has got to show how difficult it is to play in the Premier league. It is not as easy as a couple of people would make it look like.

I'm definitely excited, but my backlog is already kind of deep, I'm still going through PSVR1 and other flat games.

I knew Liverpool would win just on the basis that Man City are pretty horrible defensively and Liverpool has a pretty quick counter attack and are very direct so I knew Liverpool would destroy them on the break.

I’d love a spin-off from the "Halo" series focusing on a new character's journey. Exploring untold stories in its universe excites me!
