  1. Not entirely sure if this is for me or not, but I think it could be. I hope so.

  2. Sounds great, @Whiskey_chaser. I never had time to get on but checked that my download was indeed the multiplayer, as nag suggested. It was. Although you need it to get the campaign. By mistake I ended up in this 4 on 4 kill match, which the game wouldn't let me leave. So I had to stay and fight. Turns out I'm quite brilliant at multiplayer. Look.👀

  3. I can generally hold my own in multiplayer, though i've had a few games like that where i've absolutely tanked. That being said, I think I had the best game of Halo (or any multiplayer shooter) of my life the other night...

  4. I played around three hours last night despite being so tired I could barely focus. Oh my, I got goosebumps a few times whilst playing. This is hitting all the right nostalgia notes for me. The grappling hook is a fantastic addition. Grappling a power core, zipping over enemies heads and lobbing explosives at them will never get dull. The sandbox combat here is absolutely sublime. I managed to clear some sort of refuelling compound pretty early on and bagged a Scorpian for my troubles and have already had a few of the power weapons. It's not holding back on giving you the good stuff early on.

  6. This game reminds me of Outer Wilds (which is also what I plan to play next, the expansion). It’s been compared to Breath of the Wild, and I guess there are some similarities, but it feels more like Outer Wilds to me. You start off in a relatively small area, preparing for a kind of coming of age ceremony which will allow you to leave your tribe and explore the world. Instead of Epona, your companion is a kind of hover bike. You start off driving a banger but then you build your own one which leaves a snazzy tail of red smoke as you drive around. One of the reasons I bought the game at launch was because I love Japanese Breakfast, the band who did the soundtrack for the game. There’s a great moment when you leave the opening area and enter the great wide open for the first time, and a song plays. Brings back memories of that Jose Gonzales song playing during Red Dead Redemption. There’s no combat in the game, that I’m aware of. The gameplay is all exploration and (so far, light) puzzle solving. I’m enjoying it. It looks lovely. There are some minor visual glitches (wall-clipping mostly), but nothing major so far.

  7. Amazing opening act, maybe one of the best I've played in a while - tense, exciting and spot on visually. I wasn't too good at handling the chief at the start. Having played a lot of halo recently, just the inclusion of the grappling hook confused my fingers and had me fumbling a bit. But what an inclusion it is. First person grappling that feels great and never leaves you disoriented. I love it. I played about an hour and a half. I'll probably start again now that I've got a proper feel for the game (yeah, it's weird, but I do that a lot on new games). I can see this being my favourite in the series. It's just so effing cool to play.

  8. So back a long time ago when I worked at a certain videogame I had a really interesting discussion with someone much much smarter than me when it come to blockchain. They sold it on this premise, but without the payments or real world value. Imagine you're playing a loot based game. You jump in on release and the game has nothing but white gear. Doesn't matter how hard you try, you cannot get anything of higher quality to drop. So you play the game with this gear and eventually you do something in game so often with a certain bit of gear that "levels up" and goes from being white to green, and it does while gathering data on what it's actually doing over the course of your playtime.. Say you're a Rogue type player. Your job is to go into the enemies backline and silently do backstabs. You wear the same shitty boots you found at the start of the game and the same shitty dagger and you just keep knifing people in the kidneys, the boots just keep levelling up in stealth and the dagger just keeps on piling up on backstab damage. After a while they get rebranded as "Sly's Strides" and Sly's Shank", maybe even becomes a set with set bonuses for equipping both pieces. Maybe if I'm tank hunting specifically they become "Sly's Tank Shank". Of course there's only 1 set of these boots and daggers, but if I'm going to a certain vendor to get stuff repaired, that vendor is going to be able to do a "knock off" copy which someone else might buy and then "Sly's Tank Shank" branches off as they take it on their adventure. So then you have all these threads originating from one point, but from many many players viewpoints. Maybe these sets are commonplace within a guild as they get passed around helping everyone to do the content, at which point guild branded variants develop in the lootpool. Eventually the gear enters near mythical status, it's well renowned not just in the game your playing, but also out of the game too. it becomes so valuable that it's not worth risking so becomes an heirloom that ends up in somebody's private collection or museum. What I'm saying is blockchain has a lot of potential in games that it would make sense for it to appear in, but the greed of the companies making the games now won't allow it to go untouched because companies gonna company and ruin every good idea by trying to wring as much cash out of it for the least effort possible.

  9. Word of warning to those playing the campaign, saving progress is what you want to see before closing the game not saving checkpoint... I found that out the hard way.😭

  10. It's not that surprising that Ubisoft would be one of the first to go for something so lazy, exploitative, lacking in any kind of innovation and cynical in its money grabbing

  11. Yea that’s definitely part of it for me too. The presenters are excellent and it moves at a decent pace. Basically it’s just a bunch of challenges with skits inbetween. They’ll either have someone on by themselves taking on a specific challenge such as doing a Beatsaber track 100% on the hardest setting or defeat a Cuphead boss. Or they’ll have a pair on against each other in a game. Personally I find it so refreshing for a games Tv programme to have people on who are actually good-brilliant at the games too. Most of the time on TV shows based on games they get celebrities on who say he/she loves games through gritted teeth then when they actually play it’s obvious they’ve basically never held a pad before. This is nothing like that. Only downside is all the streamer scum they have on. Joking. Kind of.

  12. Thanks Tommy, you've just reminded me I can do the results now Halo's score is in haha, so without further ado... 2021 MFG FantasyCritic League Results: Winner: Me 🥇 ] 2nd Place: @radiofloyd 🥈 Joint 3rd Place: @Nag @Jimbo Xiii🥉 4th Place: @mmmark 5th Place: @Nabby9 Despite 3 of my games getting delayed, the rest of my choices managed to do well enough (aside from Biomutant) to give me the win in the end. Whilst a photo finish between Nag and Tommy was possible at one stage due to the former having 4 games left to release at the beginning of November and the latter having two titles left, it unfortunately never materialised with 1 of Nag's choices actually costing him points and another netting him very little leaving Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite to do the heavy lifting, and the numbers just weren't in his favour, these two titles letting him down. Tommy got closest however, picking up solid points all year long. SMTV and Solar Ash scored very well as his last two titles to come out this year, but not doing quite enough to topple me in the end, having no games delayed is an impressive feat as well. Jim's first league appearance was an impressive one, unluckily missing out on 3rd place by 1 solitary point. Each of his titles scored decent points but delayed to Warhammer: Total War 3, Ghostwire Tokyo and Hollow Knight Silksong ultimately cost him a shot at the title. Mark was leading through large swathes of the year but an unfortunate counter-pick in Kena: Bridge of Spirits proved costly along with his 3 delayed titles and some games earning less points than expected. Nabby was also poised for an end of year title challenge at one point but delays to Horizon, Lego Star Wars and Nobody Saves the World along with Baldo actually costing him 11 points along with Halo being his counter pick costing him another 16 points, ultimately meant that chance of a top-3 position came to an end. Thank you very much for everyone that took part and congratulations to the runners up. Similar to last year, as I won, it means the prize will be going to second place, which is Tommy. The prize is once again a £10 PSN/XBL/Steam/Amazon etc. Gift card of your choosing. DM me to let me know what you'd like and I'll send you the code. If you'd like to be a part of next years competition I will post a new league at the very beginning of 2022, as soon as I am able to.
