| I started playing Andromeda about a month ago but haven't touched it in a couple of weeks. Struggling to find the motivation to start it up again as i was just bored by it. 20 odd hours in and it just hasn't hooked me at all. |

It does seem to have eschewewd the quirkiness of the previous titles where I married a zombie but then got rid of her and married a frog instead. Also concerned about the max number of units being six? The game doesn't seem like a King's Bounty game to me. They've changed everything but the name. I'll definitely keep an eye on this as I love the previous games but I am apprehensive. |

@TagRed "If the 'Recommended' and 'Essential' are actually more proxies for 'here's a weird game we want to flag to you because it's actually quite good" That's not what he was saying. |
|
@Standout I thought the last 10 minutes was slightly disappointing (the Star Child bit) but had an absolute blast up to that point. Loved it. Not as good as ME2 but that's one of my favourite games of all time anyway. A lot of the criticisms are really overblown IMO. |
| @Umang I'm 46 and didn't know what it meant. Heard it a couple of times online and honestly thought it just meant noob. That being said, i'm in the UK where I don't think it's a very widely used term. Seems to be different in the US. |
| @Nathan-DTS *Normality! |

@Jamieb87 "Does anyone think Epic are the "white Knights of gaming" Tim Sweeney does. |
| @Jimjamyaha I'm originally from Tamworth and reading this article I did wonder hoe it was represented, if at all. Does it have the castle? |
| @tubaros Well, you knew what you were going to get if you saw the leaked list posted on this site :p |
| @UncommonSense Yet another who doesn't understand free speech. Free speech does not mean tyou have a right to a twitch account. It also does not mean a freedom from consequences. |

@IndigoAK "no self-respecting businessperson is going to say no to that much money just because it means caving to the whims of a totalitarian regime. " Other way round. You leave your self respect along with your ethics behind when you get into bed with a totalitarian regime. |
| @Syrette It's not just cosmetic stuff. They're hiving off missions to sell as pre-order bonuses. There's no good justification for that. |
|
"The Deluxe Edition includes the base game, four recruitable gangsters, the Golden Weapon Set (featuring three exclusive weapon skins plus "Romero" gun sound effects), and the Curb Stomp Execution animation. In addition to all that, a Premium Edition grants access to a pair of post-launch expansions and the "stylish" Al Capone's Fur Coat costume. Lastly, those that pre-order the game on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, or PC will get the The Good Son Pack, featuring an exclusive in-game mission - in which Cyril Mcrae attempts to reconnect with his estranged father - and a recruitable gangster." Wish they hadn't done this crap. I'll be waiting until there's a GOTY edition somewhere down the line then. |
| is there no additional voucher this time round? |
| I bought it about 15 years ago on PC but never finished it. If I remember right it didn't have quicksaves which put me off. That's one change I'd actually be in favour of. |
|
Reminds me a lot of Darksiders. Crazy price though! Are they going to be the standard price points for games in the next gen? |
|
@udat It's been so long I'm not entirely sure but I think I finished Exolon. If you redefined the keys to zorba it gave you infinite lives which is kind of cheating but the only way it was ever going to be possible, |
|
@LCNights I'm a little worried about the next Elder Scrolls though. Isn't it very hard / nigh impossible to mod games on Gamepass? The alternative is to get it on Steam where they'll charge the Earth for it. |
| @TheCuriousGrapefruit Ah, that's dampened my enthusiasm. I'll wait for a deep discount somewhere down the line. So disappointing. |
| @Dogatella_Verpoochie Just scrolling through to see if anyone had mentioned him. One of the most memorable for me. |
|
Huge Bowie fan so loved that story about him in Omicron. Another article I really enjoyed was this one from Ellie Gibson about GamesMaster. Can't belive it's from six years ago already though. GamesMaster |
| @greenwichlee Half Life 1 is perhaps my favourite game of all time but I've never completed HL2 because of the awful motion sickness it gave me :/ |
| @Rachel_Ray_Romano Buying games at those prices is also expensive and is much cheap elsewhere. There is no value in Stadia for the consumer as it stands. |
| @ReturningAccount Apparently it'll stay at that price for as long as it's in beta, then £8 after that IIRC |
| @IamUrple I'm 100% certain the twat yelling, "YEEAAHHH" every two minutes was American. Pretty much guarantee it in fact. |
| @AgentDaleCooper "We reached out to..." |
| @MouthOfSauron If I remember right they only charged £13 for Blood Dragon (on PC anyway.) A huge difference to the best part of 40 quid they want for New Dawn. |
|
@jonbwfc I'm one that's going to hold off on Anthem because of Apex. I just don't have the time to play both so one of them has to miss out. I'm sure there are plenty like me whose gaming time is limited so have to make a choice. It's why I find it odd that they've released the free game before the paid one. Not sure where the advantage is there at all. |
| @Loveblanket "spoonfed images for a couple hours" ? You may have worked on films but you clearly had no understanding of the medium. |
| So I suppose the game will be awash with myriad DLC's before we know it. |
| I actually quite enjoyed RAGE but I still find it odd that they're making a sequel. I mean, they never actually finished the first one! |
| @roughsleeper I'd prefer Michael Shannon to play Reacher. Probably more likely to be cast as the bad guy though. |
| I'm 43 and watch a few let's plays now and again. For instance I'm watching one of Tropico 5 by someone called Skye Storme at the moment and since I've never played a Tropico game I've found it helpful to watch a few videos to understand just what the hell I'm supposed to be doing rather than going in blind, not having a clue how to play and just getting overwhelmed. |

@IronCladChicken We're not leaving Europe. That would be a tad tricky to pull off. We're leaving the EU. |
| @Agente_Silva Filter them out then? |
| Wait, Johnny was supposed to be creepy? I didn't get that at all. I thought both Godlings were great. |
| @_Alan_Cartridge_ One of them has an English accent.... |
| Must admit I'm struggling to see any controversy here. The limit was fairly well known and spoken about on a couple of other gaming forums I've been on. |
|
I've got £9 in steam credit already plus that extra fiver from Paypal so I might pick a few things up. Looking at any or all of Renowned Explorers, Subnautica, Brigador and Banner Saga 2. To be honest though, I've got games from sales from years back I've never played but would still quite like to, so I don't mind waiting to be honest. The discounts often aren't as deep as they used to be so I find it much easier to hold off from buying these days. |

How the mighty have fallen. Bioware used to be the market leaders in RPG's. Now they seem to be staffed by people who hate RPG's and just want to make action games instead. Everything from the direction this game has taken to the bugs and UI issues (can you really not compare a new weapon's stats with the one you have equipped? That's been standard in RPG's for years! Did they just forget to implement it?) has convinced me to wait until it's dirt cheap to buy it. It just sounds like they've only put the bare minimum of effort into it. |
| @Furious_Minch Have they ever done a GOTY edition for the Mass Effect games? They didn't for ME3, I know that much. I'm still waiting for that DLC to get a discount on PC. |
|
@Skirlasvoud Some good choices but I don't understand how Dishonored is a hipster game? It was a AAA game that released to big sales and huge acclaim. Not exactly one you discovered before everyone else started liking it! |
| @firstandlastname I got stumped on that one. Couldn't think of anything until I remembered there were cattle in Civ V so went for that. |
| @doswillrule Wait, Time Commanders is back? I loved that show back in the day! |
| Can't help but feel he's missed a trick by not taking advantage of all this coverage by not discounting the game in the Steam sales. An opportunity missed to hoover up a few more sales from curious gamers I reckon. |
| Not bad at all. From being on the verge of going Kaput to where they are now is great news. I'm glad as I really enjoy the games they make. |
