| I really have to get round to this game. The road to gaming is paved with good Intentions. Ive got it on PC, switch and Xbox now.... And I used to love animal crossing and rune factory as well, so I need to do this game soon! |

@kestral The cave in UnGoro crater in wow classic with the glowing crystals and gnomes! |
|
As I read the article I was feeling a winge coming on, then I found the bit about the Destiny loot cave, then the bit about Minecraft. Winge totally defused. ... Aaand relax.... |
| Wasn't this on the nintendo stand at EGX this year, watched a fairly long presentation by the devs. |

Has a look of the 2001 monolith about it. Microsoft knock it out the ballpark with yet another brilliantly understated design. I loved the huge design of the original Xbox, and would have liked the Xbox one x in the same style casing, but Xbox one x is nice too. But the new Xbox, which is going to be a beast out of the box is seriously unique. Great design. Here's hoping the current Xbox one controllers work with it. Now lets see Sony do a surprise reveal. Update, just found this on the official Xbox series page :-Thanks to backward compatibility, you can expect your gaming legacy, thousands of your favorite games across four generations of gaming, all your Xbox One gaming accessories, and industry-leading services like Xbox Game Pass to be available when you power on your Xbox Series X in Holiday 2020 So that's it, all your older controllers will work as well. |

This was £15 on Tesco two days ago. Naturally I bought it. Then I found sekiro on both formats for £25!!! That turned out to be a pricing error though. Didn't buy that for the £50 they wanted for it. Anyway, there's my day in the life excerpt, enjoy. |

Super play was certainly one of the best gaming mags, had every issue. The first 40/50 issues of games TM mag were also great, but something happened there and its tone changed, not sure what went on in the back ground. Edge on the other hand always was and still remains the most bloated piece of pretentious self important game publishing ever. Never liked the content. But, the production values ( the paper quality, page layout, photos) were great. Just a shame the writing was always up its own backside. Still, the mag has certainly made its mark. Got to give it credit, that's a massive achievement. |

OG Destiny was the best time for Destiny. The game has many problems, the main one being ridiculous jumping in raids, and the inability to group find for raids and higher level content ( like prison of elders or the weekly nightmare strike). But.. It had charm, mystery and the most beautiful soundtrack that would stop you playing just to take in the scene and the atmosphere as a wonderful piece of music just happened in just the right place, with just the right lighting, at just the right time. That can still happen in the OG content of Destiny even today. Let yourself experience it all again. Put all your characters gear in the bank, delete said character and re- roll the same class again. Then take your time to experience all that lovely OG content again. Destiny will never be and has never been better than it was then, a melancholy and often lonely experience. As intriguing and awe inspiring today as it was on release. Just a shame we can't put Peter Dinklages voice over work back in the game, because, really, it was the best. |
| £200 for a ps 4 Pro is a sweet deal, if it happens. |
|
Give mea full blown castlevania rpg again please.... Symphony of the night 2/Ritual of the night 2 with heavier emphasis on stats & rpg. Alternately, give me an Assassins creed style game IN the Castlevania Universe. Make it as awesome as the superlative Odyssey. |
| @ZuluHero Dredd. |
|
Well I wanted more detail on ever wild, and got very little. But the one game I couldn't give two ticks about, sea of always online thieves bored me senseless. :) |
|
Dang... My heart skipped a beat then, for a split second thought this was a new game AC game announcement. Just to dissapoint me even more, now advertise an AC mobile game. |
|
My fave games workshop game was man o war, the naval battle table top game with some great ship models. But, because many warhammer fans couldn't handle something different, it got closed down, as did battlefleet gothic, that also had some great models. Not that I'd get back into them now, as the friends I played these games with have moved miles away, so a weekly gaming night would be very hard to stage now!!!! |
| Yeah, the single game prices there seem to be discounted from full retail. Just try base.com or the games collection instead. |
|
Just can't see this lasting somehow. Its the 3do,or the Jaguar, the lynx, the commodore 32, ouya... Or any other badly failed system... Just waiting to happen. Not that it matters to me. It's a streaming system. Therefore no physical games. No physical games is a dead in the water system to me. Physical forever, digital only never! |
|
There's a mention that players criticised the "low difficulty", which is an odd conundrum. If a game is too hard, I just stop playing it. There has to be a happy medium. A "nightmare" difficultly for those that want to experience it, and literally a middle ground for those that can't be bothered with games that are just too tough. Plus, I must admit, the isometric perspective rpgs were very 80/90s, and I find that game style a huge turn off now. The latest bards tale game has both things right, with a first person perspective and just the right difficulty level. Outer worlds did the same. Both much more "up my street" games. I must admit playing the rather " safe" outer worlds made me yearn for more, hence I started fallout 4 with all its DLC. Again. |
|
This reads as alright to me. It's not a requirement to always be online, it doesn't force multiplayer on you, theres no real mention of microtransactions. It seems it can be played single player, offline. That sounds good. Not a full price purchase though, maybe when it drops to £25. I will also echo another forum entry earlier to this one, with a slight caveat... Look out how rage racer and then the 3ds version of ridge racer were designed, add all that in and give "ridge racer- a return to great gameplay" please. |
|
That sounds chuffing awesome. That combined with wow classic will keep me dipping in and out of wow for 2-3 months every yeah. I could see this working as having a couple of zones for each level to choose from, and then shadow lands bring you upto 60. Could be good. I'm sure they won't screw it up... Unlike diablo 4.... Now if Blizz would stop the stupid always online requirement farce for Diablo 4, I'd spend money on that as well, 'cos as it stands... Not happening from my standpoint. |
|
Did the whole Huawei scandal blow over in the end? Safe to get their phone if you want it? Just curious, especially if they pull out of the eu market. |
|
Online only is instant fail for me. Until that's gone, no purchase. Seems good otherwise. |
|
Maybe blizz could apologise for making diablo 4 online only as well ( if the rumour is true), as that immediately takes it off my "to buy" list. What's that Blizz? Pay for a digital online only game that I'll never ever own...? Take my money.. NOT! |
|
Reads like a sub £20 purchase to me. Rage 2, days gone or horizon zero dawn this is not. |
| Nice article. Well done. :) |
|
I'd like an option to be able to buy the campaign for £20, as seeing as the multiplayer is online only, if you want that, then stump the other £30 to digitally download the content for multiplayer, or else you're stuck with the £20 single player disc. So, I'll wait until a big price drop I think. |
|
Sounds way too fiddly. What if i already own an Xbox one x and a backup just in case the first one croaks on me? And what if I already have 36 months game pass thanks to this year's E3 upgrade deal? Huh? HUH? |
| I'm just amazed at this. Can't people just buy all this stuff online? Or is it that the shop sells unique stuff and they scalp it up on ebay? |
|
I think the issues with ghost recon are that it's online only. That's insta fail in my book, then, so many bad reviews, all of which mentioned it's poor gameplay. Division 2? It really shouldn't be online only, and secondly, it's ridiculously hard to play solo. Watchdogs 3 looks very promising, and I really liked the first two, but watchdogs 3 still has it all to prove. So, to Ubisoft, single player is the way forward, maybe with Co op, but Not multiplayer or online only. |
|
Isn't Petroglyph a bunch of Westwood employees who lost their jobs when EA closed the studio? I'd like to see every CnC game remastered, I'd buy em all. At a reasonable price off course. I include Renegade in that. |
|
Just.... LOL.... only a real sucker would pay this. I picked the game up for £8.99 and they want a £12 sub.... Just... Eff off. |
|
I wonder why Intel never lowered their prices enough to entice the console manufacturers? Surely the amount of consoles sold last gen and this gen alone couldn't have gone un-noticed by Intel? Yet here we are, with AMD powered consoles. Nothing wrong with that, just curious. |
|
I bought Telesto from xur yesterday so I could get a nice high level version ( it came in at 925 as opposed to the two in my bank at the default 750). Now I know why I couldn't equip it!!! |
|
@TheLawly Yup, agreed. Digital games are fools gold. Once physical stops, so will any future gaming for me. I've got decades of back library to pull from. |
| This is more than textures. Maybe they've submitted a duff build to gold mastering to meet contractual commitments, knowing all the time the correct version is a full digital download. |
|
@Majere613 Well said, if its a digital game, you own nothing. Just keep that in mind.... |
|
Shame they don't support the proper console versions minecraft for xbox, for PlayStation etc, as these are far better versions than the play together versions and were soundly designed and coded. Those two versions mentioned are my default versions over any other version, with one of the main reasons being that you can dictate the map size, where you can go anywhere and still be a short run to the centre of the map, where I inevitably setup a base and branch out in a web like manner with cart tracks and long paths. The entire map is visible on one screen and the game is so much better for it. The Infinite map size enforced upon you in the PC version and the newer version for consoles is just bloody pointless. |
| If this startup is sensible and have a good business plan, they could start as a small studio and move on from there. |
| I'm guessing Greater file sizes mean less compression,amongst other things, so faster loading times? |
| This is a total buyer when it hits the £20 mark. Not that it's not worth full price, but with so many games out and coming out, you have to pace yourself financially. |
|
That is simply awful. Just awful. Considering the games are extraordinarily grim and positively encourage murder and crime against the state. What's the show gonna be about? Lollipop theft? |

Is it fair to think that blizzard isn't the same company ( by company, I'm referring to employees and bosses) that it was when, for instance, warcraft 2, diablo 2 or wow original was released. I get the impression the original bosses were forced out by the Activision take over. Having read some accounts of employees who worked there during the development of wow classic where they weren't allowed to openly discuss the next biggest mmo after wow, final fantasy online, it seems to me that whilst many employees are reasonable folk, it appears to be their Activision management enforcers who have screwed this company up. Bungie did good getting out, and evidence of their new found creative freedom can be seen in the shadow keep expansion. So, instead of calling out blizzard, maybe call out the management team and Activision instead? I reckon that's where the toxic attitude comes from. |

Oh dear, this is right up there with the ridiculous panda race and the associated monkey race and fish men race from the otherwise excellent pandara expansion. A fox and a frikkin cyborg gnome. The gnome almost makes sense, but still, what an awful character addition. On one hand you have the rather cool void elves and dark iron dwarves, then you have pathetic kiddie fodder like this. I stopped playing Wow retail aong time ago, thankfully, classic, at least currently, maintains it's integrity and dignity. |
| @neddie ouch that was a harsh comment. It was also correct. |
| @HypoStorm final fantasy online. In this mmo you can do everything, including raids, with npcs if you want. |
|
Last time I looked, £9.85 on base. Com Ouch. Who screwed this game up? EA or Bioware? They should take some advice. Fuck multiplayer, make single player gamers. Ubisoft could take heed of that advice as well considering the state of the new ghost recon and division 2. |
| Errr... I thought this was chalked good game design. Not that it bothers me, I don't do much multiplayer. Single player destiny and wow is my limit. |
| I didn't think much of the first one, then I found out the second one was online only, and realised unlike destiny or wow, ghost recon just cannot hold my attention. Rather like division 2. It was OK, but a bit too hard to solo, plus online only, so now it's just gathering dust. |
| "with that tired lot" in reference to the Avengers cast in the films. Really? Not a fan of the films or comics then? |

Regards it's price, I would expect the same price as Xbox one X, £449.99, especially as the Xbox one x is now clearly being priced to clear stock. I've seen it going for as little as£279 this week.
