Judging by the past it takes a bit to get him going but I don't think we'll have to wait long to see him back to his best.

News says that Lallana comes back after the international break. This is great timing for the busy part of the season.

Do tell me what you think I thought it was horrible even though I stuck with it past more than I should have

Finished Mario Odyssey and have to say for all the hype it did live up to great gameplay and generally good after-game play as well. Some of the levels are so well designed I was taken aback by how much you have to do. The best part of it all is Cappy's various actions to make attacking levels so varied based on how you like to play it. Definite must-buy for anyone with a Switch. Still don't think its better than LoZ

Apparently Clyne has suffered a setback in his recovery according to the boss. https://twitter.com/thisisanfield/status/926437617507454976

https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/10/30/shadow-of-the-colossus-paris-games-week-2017-trailer For anyone that played the original Shadow of the Colossus looking at it go through a makeover is quite stunning. If you've never played it I highly recommend picking it up.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus What a whirlwind month and holiday season its going to be: new Assassins Creed, new Wolf, new Mario and ... they are all great from whats to be heard by the critics. Which one are people on the forum going to be playing? I've got Mario already and waiting to finish that before jumping into Wolf(PC).

So I have clocked a few hours in on Mario Odyssey and have to say I like how the mechanics work with Cappy. At first it seems a bit weird and what they say about detaching the joycons to play the game is so true because some of the more complex moves like whirling or low hitting seem counter intuitive on a regular controller (you dont need it to progress). Its a great game and definitely a AAA title for me but is it better than BotW? I don't think so because while it has a lot of nice little features in it there is still something about LoZ that was better than this from an adventure perspective.

While its dead what it spawned in terms of dev work in the incubator programs they ran plus how its used in commercial applications for motion sensing actually benefited Microsoft quite a bit. I tried it once when it came out and I quite liked it but in the end it was just a toy that was never going to garner any serious game developers to do anything with it.

I've heard its only been getting glowing reviews from the press but I'll get a chance to see once they release it.

On a side-note who else is going to be playing the new Mario when it comes out over the weekend?

You'll get Doom 2, a Wolf Expansion pack and a Fallout game before a new ES imo. They seem terribly invested at the moment in the FPS genre and you can't blame them with the acclaim that Wolf got at the presses. Plus they've also just released The Evil Within 2 so if anything there might be an announcement in the Winter of 2018 and then a release before the summer for either Fallout or the new ES i'm still thinking Fallout comes before ES just for platform reach.

This man knows.

Toxic communities. Oh the fun I have had with those on Overwatch Season 1 or the worst of the entire lot, the arseholes on the DOTA or WoW servers generally in Eastern Europe. Now, when I see those servers I just go in the opposite direction. I remember some terrible flaming on WoW at one point.

You're so right about TF2. I think I was disappointed that it was too short but the fight mech and the locations were so gorgeous and it was much better than its predecessor.

Think the last game I got that had EA's involvement was Titanfall 2 but I haven't really picked up anything post that. There just isn't anything they have as an IP which fascinates me.

Lets just hope he can recover quickly but we are well and truly fucked going forward as is quite evident from how we've played without him.

thought I was caught-up so didn't scroll. Will get it next week at some point looks like a fun side-scroller.

Has anyone with XB played CupHead? Its getting some rave reviews. Saw theres a Steam version but wanted to know if anyone has played it yet.

I finished RE: Revelations 2 after having it sitting around for almost an eternity and have to say I was pleased with the game and how it all laid out. I miss the classic RE where you had the over-shoulder look with the cross-hair pointer doing all the work. This kind of gets lost in RE7 which is a great game in its own way. Nothing still holds a candle to RE4 but Rev2 is definitely a good game and far better than Rev1.

Don't put anything past Rockstar

https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/21/16344544/doom-nintendo-switch-gameplay-preview If I hadn't played it on the PC this would have been a sure purchase for me. I think its a good show from Nintendo considering most people think that their choice in game promotion is mostly non-adult oriented. For me this also throws a little bit of light on what to expect when Metroid hits the Switch next year.

I've only heard good things about that game. How do you like it?

Haha. Its amazing how people play that and this other one called Boom Beach
