    I'm not being funny but unless you've got exponentially better since the last time we played I never had any reason to believe you were cheating.

    We got some really good finishes but mostly through running anyway and hiding and skirting the action and basically never killing anybody.

    Insult to injury, I've reported you to Microsoft for your dodgy copy of Windows.

    It's not dodgy, you get 30 days. I'm waiting till after payday to make the building of the PC feel a bit less dear.

    Yet all the best rated games are 3rd person (uncharted, last of us etc).

    Well that's one specific company that are very good at what they do. Also I'm not a big fan of Uncharted and have never played Last of Us.

    Looks like he was solo where I was in a group. He's also probably actually good at games, where I am not.

    I also did shoot somebody where he either hasn't or just missed.

    Hah, well if I were to do that sort of thing it would mostly have the selling point of laughing at my incompetence.

    Or in the case of PUBG outright cowardice, most of the time.

    I've never really found it fun to watch. It's probably tense to play but, unless you're really good at finding people and taking kills, I can't see myself being pulled into it. Anyway, cracking on with Final Fantasy V and I'm just about closing out the first world. If I wasn't looking at a walkthrough for it, I'd be fucked. What's annoying is how certain tougher bosses seem to require you to lean on a specific job.

    I was hoping the job system would allow me to just pick and choose the team I wanted (White Mage, Black Mage and two heavy hitters) but I've had to invest in a Time Mage and, more specifically a couple of Ninjas to throw shit at the Earth Shrine boss.

    You're playing a 3 year old game on a 12 year old piece of kit. It's a testament to human ingenuity it works at all.

    It's actually not the frame rate it's the fucking lag. Hardly any EU based servers.

    Second chicken dinner in PUBG.

    Lasted until right before the very end again (though wasn't a survivor)..... no kills again.

    I am the pacifist PUBG king.

    Not sure how many people will care/remember him in the general thread so reposting it here so we can relive some lols.



    Looks like Jack Thompson, the disbarred lawyer and also the guy behind the lawsuits against 2 Live Crew and Grand Theft Auto is going to be at the 'Gaming Is Evil' meeting tomorrow.

    I'll say this about Jack Thompson. He's a believer. This will get nowhere. The industry makes far too much money and the ESA sure hates government intervention.

    I sort of like the new TT game despite its many, many flaws. Had a mammoth online race with some fella over four laps of the full circuit. 84 minutes. He would've won but he was waiting for me to catch up and I completely missed him as I flew by. Won by a minute.

    Has a really, really good sensation of speed, especially on the superbikes. Not worth £45 unless you're really into your TT but every track is nicely detailed and they're patching in sidecars in May.

    The controls on the phone are absolute bollocks. Enough to make me not want to play it.

    There are a few to choose from too, but they all seem garb.

    I had no interest in even trying it on my phone because I couldn't imagine a way in which it wouldn't be a completely arse-tastic way of playing PUBG.

    I bought a 4k screen. TTH is impossibly small even with everything turned up 200%. I just played Assassins Creed Origins on Ultra on 3840x2160

    I also bought Farcry 5 from a shop today. Put the CD Key in and it said 'Pre-Load', I thought that was odd. Turns out it's not 'out' till fucking Tuesday.

    Ni No Kuni is a lot of fun but I do have that thing that comes with JRPGs where every cut-scene and every random battle I'm thinking 'Jesus Christ there's going to be another 50 hours of this'.

    Someone needs to make a good JRPG with a beginning a middle and an end that clocks in at under 24 hours.

    One of the central themes of any JRPG is that it should be 48 years long (not including the grinding required to beat all the mental secret shit that's normally in there). If you want a tighter experience then it's western all the way, old Bioware games had either hard or soft level caps and many of the more recent ones that they inspired have a similar set up.

    Depends, it's a bit tropey but the combats fun. I haven't unlocked a good 50% of the game mechanics with the Kingdom Building stuff according to reviews I've seen so we'll see.

    It's definitely worth getting in a sale just to look at it. Ni No 4Kuni

    Damn right. In shit news, Grainger Games closed 21 stores overnight with no warning. Their website is blacked out. They quietly disclosed they were in the shit with creditors last week. 67 stores remain open. Both nearest options to me have been shuttered.
