I was looking forward to this but the reviews have not been kind. I bought it anyway but I haven't played any yet, I think this might be the first game I use the Ally or the Legion Go for.

I bought one a week or so back. It is a lovely piece of kit, the extra screen real estate makes a huge difference. The speakers are what lets its down the most though they sound so weak compared to my Rog Ally and my Steamdeck. But the additional features, the built in stand, the case you get...

Have finally finished this. And I mean finished, not just got to the credits after beating the dragon. Absolutely loved it, but as with all these RPGs I am left wanting more, more areas to explore, more caverns, more dungeons. That's one thing that Skyrim nailed that is missing from contemporary...

Aside from all the no news faux outrage, the demo was really good. Gameplay is smooth and frantic and looks the part. Already pre-ordered.

Dragons Dogma 2 is eating quite a lot of my time now. Decided to explore as much as possible with the first playthrough. Playing this on the portal is so cool. Have Rise of the Ronin installed and have played the introduction - this will be next on the list. Stellar Blade is pre-ordered. PC...

It does look like the PC version is just not optimised very well. On console I've not really noticed anything, except maybe a little sluggishness when a cyclops invaded the main town and all hell broke out.

I'm playing on PS5 and so far I'm having a blast. I had my ass handed me on multiple time by Grffens and Minotaurs (there should be a 'bravely run away' button). It plays just like the old Dragon Dogma but with more style and waaaay better graphics. The whole world feels alive in a way I haven't...

I had a look at the dreaded MTX in the store lastnight and there is nothingn there that I haven't already found in game. Though for 70p I can save myself the trouble of looking for certain items. Basically it's 100% optional so, personally, I don't see what the big deal is.

Started playing Banishers on PC - apart from some slightly klutzy controls it's a pretty good game. I haven't got far into it yet though, just finished my first banishing after the lengthy prologue, so early days. Got Skull and Bones on PS5 - Actually had quite a lot of fun then I hit a weird...

Considering they had a week to prepare for this, and the amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the Xbox community, and when they needed to be completely clear about their plans, they came up with a sort of mind fog of sales speech and great expectations instead. Glad that's cleared...

Bunch of ludites :D

Yeah, they said 'don't expect any additions to the biggest existing franchises within this financial year', so no more GoW, or LOU, etc. Kind of implies they are working on lots of new IP instead. Which would be nice.

That came from Microsoft's VP of Xbox business development Lori Wright. During the trial between Epic and Apple. They said that Microsofy has never earned a profit on a console. And then during a WSJ interview Spencer confirmed that Microsoft loses around $100 to $200 every time it sells the...

By worst console I meant in terms of public perception and delivery, what is the public perception of the current XBox too make it trend below the XB One? The OBX did remarkably well in comparison considering the market it launched into as an unknown contender. I think they (XBox) were willing...

Are MS still making a loss on each XBox sold? It was ~$200, has that changed at any point? If they are then that's probably had a big deciding factor in this. They've run up an $80 billion acquisition hole that needs to be filled, hardware sales are trending below their worst ever console (Xb...
