Never bothered me to be honest, just takes an hour or so to get used to it :lol: Unless it's some very old game, its usually just getting used to it for a bit. But yeah, top down turn based is a hit-or-miss for many people really, which is fine...

I just can't get into top down turn-based games which is a shame I know. I've always found them to be a required taste. I think I just can't handle it when there is too much going on in my field of view. I'm also guilty of having a list of games...

I'd personally go BG3, RDR2 as a close second, but in terms of BG3 imo it lags behind in a lot of ways (with the caveat you kind of have to be into DND for BG3, I suppose, so it's not a straight forward/familiar experience?). Skyrim is a great...

Absolutely agree. BG3 is a great game, no doubt about it. Personally, a modded Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas (Tale of Two Wastelands) on PC is my favourite gaming experience to date with RDR2 a very close second. In terms of technical...

IMO that's BG3, but not by a massive margin. Horses for courses at the end though,

As someone who has played video games since the 70s, and spent over a decade working in game development, I can safely say it's the finest open-world, story driven game ever made. It goes beyond just being a video game. It's an experience. Come...

I'm many years too late to this party, but I've spent about 20 hours with Red Dead Redemption II over the last couple of weeks, and it's absolutely incredible. I've not been this absorbed in, and impressed by a game since probably Metal Gear...

Spot on. And just on that subject: Moshiri should be there for the first game. Even though his back seat driving on the playing side nearly cratered us, without his determination to pull all the strings together that dock would still be...

@KaiserEFC has said, you'll be inundated by admin which will make you angry. Funnily enough, it can also be a blanket over the flames forr a bit. When my partner ddied five years ago, I found that there were physical changes ... wierd...

Terribly sorry for your loss. My first wife died of cancer in 2007 and the one thing I learned was not to try to handle it alone. Reach out -- to friends, trusted co-workers, even the motley crew that is GOT. In time, I hope, your pain will diminish.

Thoughts to you @Pilks I can't even begin to comprehend how youre feeling, but thankfully there are places like this forum where people can support you. Far from an empty gesture, and im sure you'll have a plethora of offers, but feel free to...

So, so sorry for your loss @Pilks. Your missus sounds like a wonderful woman. You did everything you could do for her. Keep on talking mate, some absolutely boss people on here who are much more articulate than I, who will defo help you. Make...

This as well. Live in Liverpool but work in Manchester/Oldham/Blackpool/Fleetwood most days so if you're anywhere between I can swing by if you need anything. Shopping, some help with stuff around the house, a natter, whatever. Just message me...
