Heads up Steam users: Brazilian hackers have filched a squillion usernames & passwords from gods-knows-where, including my own. They got passed the first step, but fortunately i've got that e-mail verification thingy for when logging in with an unknown device, so they couldn't get further than that. Was able to change me password unscathed.

Where have you got this from? Heard nothing and there's nothing about this online. Sounds like you might have been the victim of phishing...

Great game mate. A little slower at times than your normal Rockstar game but really well made as you’d expect.

I was awful at judging the facial expressions last time I played it!

Not sure if this has been posted on here yet but unsurprisingly shameless behaviour from EA over Star Wars Battlefront II. Supposedly it would take around 40 hours of play to unlock one of the hero characters, of which there are 15 at launch. Of course the alternative is buying Loot Boxes to speed this up.

While they have backed down to some extent, 10 hours per character still seems pretty crazy. Especially given new characters will be released throughout the year.

Just read a bit more about it. Not all heroes are locked and don't all cost the same. 6 of the characters need to be unlocked.

Still with the original system it would have taken roughly 170 hours to unlock all 6 which is crazy.

Looking on getting a Switch mainly for Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart and Zelda.

Whats the verdict lads? Worth spending £360 on?!

If you haven't played Kart and Zelda previously on the Wii U, it's an absolute no brainer.

3 of the best games I've played right there!

Had the Wii U so played Mario Kart, but its always good to have that kind of game to go to for a chill.

The other 2 will keep you going for a good while anyway.

Arms and Splatoon 2 are probably decent too, but I can't justify getting them at full price.

Reddit claim the rate at earning said credits has actually been altered lower though, too.

Not sure how true but shady if it is.

Starcraft by Blizzard has gone free to play and the advert mocks EA within it

Too busy at the momen mate, just playing the odd bit of Call of Duty.

What I read says that they have limited how many credits you earn from the campaign but didn’t say anything about lowering credits earned from multiplayer. Either way a pretty big balls up from EA. Doubt they’ll take much of a hit from it though.

The most annoying thing I read about the game is that the single player is only 4-5 hours long. Think I’m gonna buy it and then trade it once I’ve done the campaign

It's gambling. Psychological warfare. And unfortunately, as things like the ridiculous FIFA Ultimate Team have shown, it'll work.

It needs regulation urgently. This is basically an audience of largely kids being encouraged to compulsively gamble.
