Welcome to VGR. We're always happy to accept new people here. Anything you want to ask about the forum, just let me know.

I couldn't agree with you less. EA turning it into FTP "Live Service" has killed the game stone dead for me. It'going to predetory, greedy mess with the a standered for quality and morality lower than a Badger's Badger. Terrible news for fans of the series.

It's often the case when a raid happens on a suspected drug den or dealer that everyone in that dwelling get's arrested on suspicion of being involved. If it becomes clear that any of those were not doing anything wrong or just happed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, they'll likely be let go. Still, to arrest every adult male who was in the block, not just the targeted home, seems a little extreme.

When you buy an NFT, you're not even buying digital artwork, you're buying a receipt that says you own that digital artwork. That receipt is then authenticated through the blockchain to give value to the item that receipt claims you own. The more people you convince to invest in your NFT's in your blockchain, the more they are, quote on quote, "worth". It's a pyramid scheme, basically. You are right through, people are wising up and not investing in this bullshit anymore, and that's why NFT's are collapsing. I get junk e-mail from crypto companies and such all the time (It's not even filters I put up myself, my email client just recognises them as junk, that's not legit these business are), and one I got recently actully tried to convince the reader the collapse of the metaverse and crypto is actually a reason to invest in it. I'm not kidding, look; Remember, this went straight to my junk. This whole thing is scam, even my e-mail knows that.

I'd have to agree, it looks like shit. The design is uninspired, it looks like every other medieval game and graphics are dull and muddy. I makes me wonder why it's not releasing on PS4 and XB1. Frankly, I've seen PS3 games that look better than this. As for the gameplay, it's Xcom. And that's about all there is to say. It's just a clone on Xcom with a different setting.

I've been playing a lot of Oblivion lately. If anything, this game has got less stable over time and it crashes constantly. Yes, my version is mudded and that could be the problem, but it's still strange to see this game struggle like it does given it's age.

The free games have been good recently, but there's a bit of a trend starting to happen that I don't like. For this week and next week, DLC packs for games that look like FTP mobile trash that apparently cost $100+ to buy are being offered instead of games. I don't see that value in this at all. The only reason these "packages" are so expensive is because that's what the greedy ass publishers behind these games decided to charge, there is no way they are worth that much to anyone I hope this is not what we'll typically see with this going forward. I understand they're not gonna come through with a big AAA heavyweight every time, but this pretty poor. Hopefully Wonder Boy and Tannenberg will pick up the slack.

Can we have a source, please @kingpotato? Without a source there is no way to know how credible this is. I do know that Bandai Namco were hacked recently, so leaks are possible, but we still need a source for this @kingpotato, whether it be an article, forum, social media, a reddit or whatever. The titles do at least make sense apart from a couple of things. First, I don't know why they would publish 3 DBZ games in the same year. They are different genres of games (well, at least two of them are), so it's plausible, but I'm not sure. I have a bigger problem with is Tales of Ascension. Another full Tales game just two years after Tales of Arise? Sorry, but it doesn't seem likely, unless this is something else like another mobile spin-off or an expansion.

I highly doubt we'll re-join the EU, nor do I think it would necesseraly be wise either. Don't get me wrong, it was a stupid idea to leave, but renegotiating EU membership this soon after brexit would not work out well. We (the UK) are just not in a position to negotiate a good deal for ourselves. Brexit is done, we have just to live it and deal with it now.

Two things I always, for some reason, buy together are a video game from Bethesda and pain.

The only thing you have proven here is that you indeed could have made an opening post to this thread thread that was worth a damn, but choose not to.

Does anyone have a red-hot poker I could borrow because I want to shove it through my eyes.

I second this @Justin11. It's OK that you don't have a full scope of the situation with regard to the resignation of the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. It is even OK to not really care either, but if wish to contribute to conversation at hand, actually have something to say. For the second time in about 12 hours, I'm telling you if you have nothing to say, say nothing! If you insist on contributing to the conversation, do a little research to develop at at least some understanding of what's going so you can formulate an opinion and then, and I mean ONLY then, express it. If putting that bare minimum effort of is not worth it to you, then why would a post where you couldn't be bothered to make that bare minimum of effort be worth it to us? And frankly @Reality vs Adventure, I could say the same thing to you. Especially as the author of the thread, I would expect a lot better than this. No article, not so much as a basic description of what happened nor even a detailed opinion. Sadly, I've come to expect such a half-arsed effort from @Justin11, but this is really disappointing coming from you. @Crazycrab has already done your job for you and went through the basics about what happened and his effort is only reason I'm keeping this thread open. I may have deleted the thread entirely if it wasn't for him. I'll add here an article from what something I would consider a neutral news source to provide some more details. From Sky News My two cents? It was time for him to go. There had been two many missteps with things like party-gate, controversial policies set forth by his administration and what I would describe at best as a slow response to the cost of living crisis. He was not the PM and his was not the government we needed anymore. I don't have anything against the guy, but I don't think history is going to regard him that fondly.

Why on earth would you bring Sudoku (I'm assuming that's a misspelling on your part) into this? It's a logic based number puzzle, no more and no less. Yes, you can obviously play it on an electronic device these days, but the same is also true of Solitaire and one would hardly call that a video game. Candy Crush is also puzzle game, so like Sudoku the difficulty is a reflection of the person playing it, so I'm not sure how relevant that is to the subject at hand either, but I'll give @Heatman a little credit in that game at least that only exists as a video game. So it's the same vain as something like Tetris, so whilst I'm still unsure of how a puzzle game fit's into a conversation like this, Candy Does still count as a video game. Sudoku, I'd have to say, does not. Think about it this way, if I were to struggle with a Crossword app on my phone (and I would because I suck monkeys at crosswords), would that count here? Your post clasher along with @Justin11 tailing onto your comment tells me both of you were scraping for an excuse to post on this thread, when closer to the truth is that neither of you really had anything to say. When are you guys to learn that when have nothing to say it is OK to say nothing? @Justin11, you didn't even bring up a game of you own to add to conversation! Come one, guys... Anyway, with that out of the way; DKC is actually considered pretty infamous for it's difficulty in most circles. I personally didn't think is was as brutal as some people claim, but it was not an easy game by anybody's standard. For me to pick a game, I'd probably go for ReCore. Most reviews I read called it a breeze, some even sighting the lack of difficulty as problem, but the game had balls for me. It had an old school, Metroid feel and kept me on my toes big time.

Remember how I said how creatively inept this idea was with how generic the console looked, the soulless nature of the concept and how even the logo itself ripped off the gamecube logo? Well it turns out it gets worse/better! The very design mock up of the console is itself a rip-off of a failed South Korean console called the Behance Oasis! This was first reported on Twitter as seen below. Here's a more detailed report and update from YongYea: I can't exactly say I'm surprised.

I defiantly agree on the original Xbox controllers. If anything my hands are on the larger side and even I felt I was holding a plate.

I've decided to embed the trailer directly because the verge are ass-holes who make it impossible to disable trackers on thier website. I'll also add here an alternate article from Gamespot again because fuck The Verge and fuck Vox Media.

The OP is refering to a specific model of the PSone called the PSone Combo. It was a small version of the PSone with a built in screen that flipped up like a laptop. Since nobody has bothered to post an image of one, I suppose I'll do so now.

Sad to here. After I read this I told my better half and she was pretty blown away by it. RIP.

I just wanted to make a quick post to inform you all that this game has just been added to Gamepass.

I have an immediate problem with number 5. When did anybody love EA? I remember then releasing broken shit, dodgy expansions and closing down studious 20 years ago.

Sorry @Clasher, but are you deluded? Or are are you trying to sell snake oil or something, because there's something is not right. First off, people are not beginning to invest in NFT's. The whole metaverse, NFT and blockchain sector of investment is collapsing and burring to the ground. Even if this is a legitimate project, and I can promise you it's not, there couldn't be a worse time for it. By the time this gets off the ground, the world of NFT's and crypo will, at best, not be able to support this. Hell, that conman's investment market was never at any point stable enough to make something like this work, even at it's best. NFT's are a flash in the pan and they are going away. Second, the idea is announced. That's what an announcement is, you announce it exists. Why are you trying to twist the words and twist the facts to talk this up? @Kane99 is 100% correct, Polium claiming this this "console" will be ready as soon as 2024 is a serious red flag. Four people cannot developed a console that fast, it just can't be done. Even companies like Microsoft and Sony can't do that with tens-of-thousands of employees in R&D alone. With all due respect, one would have to be stupid to believe this. You're right about one thing though, 2024 does look too good be true and for a very good reason, it isn't true. Now you're just steeling lines straight out of the meeting the conmen at Polium has when they came up with this scam. "The Metaverse and the value of NFT's is collapsing with prices of NFT's only a fraction of they were only a year ago, so we have to convince these suckers that this console will still be out quick enough to take advantage of this before it collapses completely. However, we can't say the console will come out too fast as nobody except the most stupid of gamers will believe it's possible to do this is such a short time frame. So how does 2-3 years sound? We're obviously not going to actually make the console, we just need to give it some sense of authenticity" I'll tell you, if I was at that meeting, I still would have said "Nobody will buy that, 3 years is still not enough.", but it looks I was wrong. At least one person in @Clasher actually believes them, so good for them. Seriously though @Clasher, your admitted interest in crypto and NFT's is not something I would not call good for you, but I wouldn't actually worry about you if you didn't sound so exited about and be ready to twist the facts about and talk something up like this, something that is obviously not going to work. If you can just forget the Polium One's connection with NFT's and crypto and look at it as a device in development and technical exercise, you would see this same way I do. A joke at best and a scam at worst. To me the association with NFT's and crypto only makes this look like more like scam, and that's exactly why I took that out the equation and just looked at it as a project to develop a new console for the market and still came to the same conclusion. This is a scam doomed to go the way of the Intellivision Amico and Coleco Chameleon, a con console that never happen. Just like with those consoles, the promises in terms of spec's, the claims on the staffing, how it will be funded, the route map, the way the console looks, the logo, the absolute lack of information on how and what games we can expect, no confirmation of hardware, none of it makes sense together. Long before we bring crypto and NFT's into it, this is shady as hell. I don't get you. I cannot understand why you would look at this and do anything but cringe. This will fail, that's guaranteed.

I've said it elsewhere on the forum, but I would love to see some of the older Burnout games come back, especially Burnout 3. I doubt EA will do it because they want the world to believe the bullshit that Started with Burnout Paradise is what these types of games are supposed to be like.

For the reason's @Crazycrab already said, this is great news! It looked like a fun little number that I never got to play, so I'm happy with this.

Now that I think about it, there really aren't that many games out there like The Sims. The first thing that came to mind was Two Point Hospital as well as the same studio's upcoming Two Point Campus, but maybe those are kind of specific and not quite what you're looking for. Another one that's similar enough that you might be interested is and older game called Black and white. You quite literally play God and make karmic choices to affect the civilisation that you preside over. The good news about this is that both the original Black and White, the sequel and even thier expansions are available at those links on abandonware.net for free, so there's no risk to trying them out.
