| It always looks good. Then I play it for a while and, at least in career mode, I realise it’s dull, soulless and too easy. There’s little difference playing Barcelona or Stoke. The players look the part, but they all play the same no matter the specific player’s skill set. It’s just rubbish, and sooooo frustrating because with a bit of effort on the AI side they could do so much better |
| @SUPER-THANKS if you go through he to checkout 30% gets taken off the price |
| A positive spin - Konami are so confident in the awesome new gameplay they’re prepared to release it in this way because they know, definitely, that once people play it they’ll be happy to fork out for the various game modes. Cos it’s awesome. Definitely. |
| @zekepliskin some TV’s come in at 50/60 ms, but not LG Oleds. It’s somewhere between 10 and 15 ms |
| @DrR0b3rts bit concerned really. Lack of any on track action suggests maybe it's not ready to be shown? If that's the case, 3 months before it's due out....Cyberpunk anyone? |
|
@Der_tolle_Emil yeah I'm pretty much the same. Love career mode and put loads of time into it until I get to a track that's horrible or just hard to learn, don't touch it for 4 months. Then when I try and get back into it I find a) I've lost whatever acumen I'd built up and b) still can't get past whatever bastard track I was stuck on. Monaco and Singapore being prime examples. Last iteration helped in that you could remove tracks from career mode. But there were new tracks that I wanted to check out, got to the Dutch one and....see above |
| So many of these stock drops happen in the small hours, purportedly accidents or devious scalpers finding a way...but is it? The retailers know that their website will go down once word gets out, so why not drop the stock at 4am - they'll sell in seconds anyway. Tbf you can see their point of view (note - this isn't the same as agreeing with it), at the moment for many of them their website IS their business. Better it happens at 4am so the website is open during the day for all the other business. Not sure what the answer is that satisfies everyone, but the current system sure isn't working |

@FrozenMetalHead I mean you’ve taken that much more seriously than intended but ok, whatever gets you through the day. To be clear where the article mentions some people stealing from a truck, that’s in Romania. That’s a whole different country. In Eastern Europe. It seems unlikely that those particular criminals are over here teaching ‘our criminals’ a thing or two, but you never know I guess! Maybe you should get out more, go for a walk or something? You’ll be perfectly safe, East European crime syndicates are probably way too busy reading the Mail online (and loving it) to rob you. |
| If/when the Daily Mail picks up on this it'll be like manna from heaven - they can complain about eBay rip offs for consoles. Then link that to how video games like GTA inspire crime. And IMMIGRANTS! Because, well, IMMIGRANTS! |
| @riccyb0y It's properly reinvigorated the game for me. Was thoroughly fed up with Fifa since 19, same old same old every year and I'd had enough. Not sure why this has changed - maybe something to do with muscle memory and the change of perspective? Anyhow, loving it! |
| @paulf ah that'll be it, I got it digitally from MS Store - judging from the rest of the thread it looks like how you purchased the original dictates when you get the upgrade |
| @paulf yes mate, 100%. Has the new camera angle, which is ace btw. Feels like the 1st version in years that's fun to play and is a challenge (on career mode) |
| @paulf it was all good to go when I turned on my SX this morning, I've deleted the standard version - it's not a patch, it downloads the whole game again. Had an issue when quick resuming (no sound) but apart from that it's working fine |
| no no no no you can't write in a reasoned and fair manner moving on to provide balanced conclusions. I want to hear about teddyflops and the like, so I can pick out the bits that make me feel good about my choice! |
| Thanks for the tip re quitting out of games to increase download speed - it quadrupled instantly. Back at full speed |
|
***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*** My download of Gears 5 has slowed considerably. Can everyone that has got their SX today please disconnect from their routers, I'll let you know when I'm done. Ta muchly |

@marzy100 check this out; https://stevivor.com/guides/xbox-series-x-and-ps5-how-to-fix-issues-with-4k-120-hz-mode-on-lg-b9-c9-tvs/ I managed to install it without too much trouble, can't test it properly til Tuesday though |
|
@DearGodLifeIsHell I certainly hope so. But I've read on t'interweb where LG's own customer service team have said it will, but not at 4k. And then somewhere else had a report that they'd spoken to an LG tech who said 4k at 120hz would be fine. Basically until someone tries it out I'm not convinced either way. BTW I think this applies to just the B9...but I'm not 100% on that either! |
| @henriquecabral1 some debate over whether they actually do 120hz though, hoping some suitable content is available soon so someone can test it. I have a B9 so fingers crossed... |
| @GarciaHotspur hey ho dude, you live and learn! Just don't follow it up with something about how the Series X is hot enough to fry eggs on, and then how terrible the UI is cos it's only 1080... |
| @GarciaHotspur I reckon he's got one, and it's stuff like this. The fact he gets paid for it must be really rather awesome |
|
Speaking as someone who is coming back to the light, after a generation lost to the dark side, MS's approach is absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to get back to grips with Forza/Gears/Halo and anything anything else I may have missed! So. Bloody. Excited. Feel like a kid waiting for Xmas, and as a 40 year old (not so) grown up, that's quite something |
| @PS5rekXSX .... if Donald Trump did console fanboy wars |
| @masteratt there's also the point that people who a) have to be forced to stay longer at work and b) feel pressured by an approaching deadline they're struggling to meet...may not produce their best work? |
|
The majority of the team understands that push Do they? So why is it mandatory? If the majority would have been prepared to work longer anyway then surely would have been a better move to go with that, rather than all the negative publicity they must have known this would generate. Unless, of course, the majority of the team did NOT understand and had to be forced into this? |
| @AHiFi well that's screwed my mildly pleasant Saturday evening, and you didn't even bring Putin into it! I'm off to build a bunker in the garden, cheers! |
| @AHiFi the fact got elected in the first place makes 'dark meme magic' almost sound plausible. But then who are we to judge, with a journalist sacked for lying in charge...strange times |
| @AHiFi Lovely stuff. Now...copy...log in at IGN...paste...sit back and watch their comments section explode |
|
@insinceredave I've had the same cancellation email today. Checked my junk email and there's another generic email saying it's a mistake, my order is secure and they'll fix it. So check your junk folder (none of their previous emails ended up in my junk folder) |
| @insinceredave I got one too, same struggles yesterday. Just checked and it looks like they're still taking orders |

Can’t remember the dates, or be bothered to look it up, but I wonder if they looked at the Cyberpunk launch and had a rethink?
