General What video games have you been playing recently ?

[Kamal]

I use a game rental company so tend to get through a lot of games.
Plus I always have old favourites I play CoD, Fallout 4.
I also use GamePass alot.
Current faves have been 007, Cricket 26, Solar Punk

Boomerang?

 

[OUFC1978]

Boomerang?

Yep. Been using them since 2013.
I have probably paid full price for 4 or 5 games in the last 13 years and I cant think of any big or popular game I havent been able to play via either Boomerang or GamePass.

They were trialling 2nd class postage for a brief period which was very annoying but have just gone back to 1st class post only. Brilliant service that I recommend all the time.

Am I the only person who is not the least bit interested in GTAIV?

I'm half and half (no scarf).
If its like GTA V I have no interest.
If its like GTA IV i'll have no interest in the story, but will have a laugh messing about in the world.

I’d probably buy it if I had a console to play it on. As I only have a Switch 2, I’m not interested. Enjoyed V for six months or so but I’ve stopped playing online (aside from occasional Mario Kart races) so that element. Doesn’t really intrigue me either.

I’ll play it, but the new Witcher 3 expansion is much more exciting for me (plus the free remaster)

They also upgraded everyone’s purchase to the complete edition free of charge - this includes thr dlc free of charge for those that didn’t have them. I think they add 20-30 hours of gameplay.

Bought them ages ago but not played them yet. Booted up Witcher 3 as I’ve had a new gpu since last time and runs maxed on rtx 3070 and ryzen 5600. Raytracing slows things down

You’re in for a treat. I think it might be the best game I’ve ever played. Certainly up there.

In my top 10. Bioshock series in that top 3 also.

I've just downloaded Valheim and am quite looking forward to it. 10/10 from IGN. A very reasonable £23.49 too.

I enjoyed the Nintendo Direct yesterday. Good to see third party support continuing. My picks were Ocarina of time, Metroid Ravenous and Hyrule Warriors age of Calamity.

Managed to pick up both GTA 6 Dualsenses this morning. Will most likely cancel the white one though as I only really wanted the black.

Trying to think if I can squeeze in 007 First Light before GTA 6 comes out. Currently still playing F1 2026. FIFA comes out next week. Then I'm travelling a fair bit in October.

Congrats Swiss!

Like most I get games probably play them once or twice then don't have the time. I have played recently well in the last couple years palworld, subnautica 2, schedule 1, other games Witcher 3. Elder scrolls. But not for a couple years. It's just having the time because with those RPG open world titles it takes such a time commitment to play and when you finish work you are tired and can't face it. So I end up playing games on my phone instead like slot games or something. Easier to put down. Looking forward to GTA 6 l. I remember playing the first GTA demo over and over when I was a kid. Yes I am that old. I think if I get it It will suffer from the same issues time constraints etc. Will see. Mainly I just end up watching others play games on YouTube like neebsgaming channel or some other channel that has a game I am interested in. That clair obscure game was a good recent one. I watch people play Rust also but have never played it myself. Solo gaming really as no mates to game with anymore.

Also I still have CM0102 on the burn occasionally. The best champ man. I have a legion X handheld that I hardly use but I have it on there. If I go on holiday I will fire up Cm and get Oxford to the prem again fantastic. Sign mark Kerr Kim kalistrom and all the other favourites. If I play long enough I get all the reincarnated players again like Giggs from guisley and Zidane ..

I will use the editor to add myself as a player with amazing stats obviously put him in some non league team or something then try to sign him.

If I don't it doesn't matter it's funny watching me rip up the leagues play for England etc but I have rules not to like force players to sign have to use the normal game dynamics. I may expand the stadium and rename it from the kassan occasionally because who wouldn't. Other than that I try to play properly or it's no fun if it's too easy. Anyway blast from the past for some.

I’m playing and really enjoying Death’s Door at the moment.

The kids have received Tiny Bookshop and Toem 2 for their birthdays so I’ll be finishing those three before Ocarina Of Time.

Nothing from Edge yet, if you manage 8 or above there then that's an excellent result.

I'm expecting a 4/10 just because it's Edge

 

[Whingit]

People seem to be loving the Star Wars Burnout game. Looks good.

Nothing in the December issue (429). Keeping the best to last!

Zero Company review (8/10), maybe didn't want a double-SW-wammy.

apparently if you have Amazon Prime you can play the Star Wars racer game for free.

I was thinking the other day this would be a perfect Switch 2 game. I'll probably ask for it for Christmas.

Managed to finish 007 First Light. I'll be starting Donkey Kong Bananza soon.

When you're a billionaire, please can you buy OUFC and communicate to the fans properly?

Out of interest, in your professional opinion, what console would you say this plays best upon?
