      Mod Note - Just an update after further consideration. All discussion on the leak/spoiler isn't allowed on the forums. Just too big of a risk with the preview feature of the site and spoiling someone who doesn't want to be. I will be locking this topic.

      @axel Neither are particularly challenging or meaty. I guess Sword / Shield is probably meatier if you include the DLC content. In my opinion, the best part of said DLC content wouldn't be enjoyable really while traveling though. I still suggest waiting, but between the two I guess I'd slightly give favor to Sword / Shield. At least with that one you're seeing the more modern direction of the series, versus BDSP being aimed as faithful remakes for people who never played the Sinnoh games originally, with a couple menial extras baked in. I still suggest just waiting until Legends Arceus and playing something else in the meantime. That SMTV just came out and has creature "capturing" and "battling" with, so maybe that?

      I honestly can't emphasis how much fun I have with this game. Even if the games last a minute, it's still always chaotic madness with a group. Surprised they haven't given us the season 1 information yet but I guess it'll probably drop very soon after they announce it.

      I also gotta point out how ironic Austin Walker is complaining about the "assume my gender joke" yet on his twitter you can look up his preferred pronoun. Because you shouldn't have assumed it of course!

      @Sentinel-Beach I think they've realised this based on the light-hearted nature of the most recent Betting Special forfeits. Can't wait for the raps tomorrow!

      Final Day 4 Impression Off Grid Off Grid is an satirical 3rd person stealth game based all around data. It appears to be very early in development as there were a few issues with the build, it wasn't the nicest to control and at times there was just a lot on the screen but I came away really interested by it. You're main tool is hacking into things. So you could ssh into a laptop, search for password, information. That would lead you to an office where you can hack into a printer, find deleted files, get the code for the safe. I know that sounds basic but it's the way that it's done that makes it interesting. It just feels like another game would have you go up to a computer, press A/X and you're done while here there is a bit more thought put into it. You need to be more observant. Another example, you find out the vents in the toilets will open if the room overheats from some data. So when you go into the toilets, you're able to access the hand dryer to overheat the room. It's extremely silly but it feels satisfying to go through it like that. Very curious to see how it will shape up. Falling Sky This one is actually a student project and very much more of a tech demo but it was impressive due to that. It's a cinematic game so it looks really impressive (again considering it's a student project). You're only able to move the camera left and right and I wish I'd asked if this was a technical or artistic choice. Anyway, what made this a little more interesting was you do go out and drive. The camera takes this overhead view like the old GTA games and you basically have freedom to go around this map which is displayed like google maps when you open your phone in game. I just found it to be really surprising to have these very different mixes of gameplay in the game. Again it'd be very cool to hear if anything comes of this as the student did sound pretty ambitious in terms of what he wanted to do. One funny thing, I was making my way to the objective and the car just started to slow down until it eventually started to go in reverse. I assumed this meant I had to fix it but I got out and there was no real prompt to do anything so I started running towards where I needed to go. After about 20-30 seconds the guy tapped me on the shoulder and said "Like you can run there but it'll probably take you an hour". I just started laughing and explained the issue, seemed like there was a small bug and you just had to reverse the car for a bit and start going again. Would have been bad form to just run around for an hour :D Assassin’s Creed: Origins I was lucky enough in that I waited till late on to check out Origins and it only took about 15 minutes of queueing to get in. So it does state that it's an alpha (maybe even pre alpha build) and it does feel like that at times. It looked beautiful but the npcs in the game just didn't really feel like they were actually there. I'm sure that'll at the very least be improved before the game comes out. Anyway, you're let loose to do what you want. I made my way into a small town where I came across a priest that started the main mission of the demo. From here you're given two objective points to try and find some sunken treasure. So I have to say I didn't love how this mission went as you basically head out into the lake and find the first treasure pretty quickly and then you go towards the next marker but it disappears so it suggests it must be around here somewhere. It mentioned you can use your eagle to find the spot. So there I am looking around the water for this treasure and it gives indicators that I'm close but nothing else. After a while I realise it's actually on another ship. Now maybe that was just my stupidity or the demo environment but the mission kinda misleads the player with how it's told. In my head it would have been much better if they had basically influenced you to search with the eagle first, and find points of interest, then go searching for the items. That said, maybe you're trained into that mentality from playing the whole game. The good news is that the combat is at least better than previous entries. I've always found it to be too automatic and rigid while this at least felt like you were doing these things. Overall, it was fine. I won't lie, the series has to do a lot of things to get me back into it as like I mentioned with the combat, I feel like a lot of an Assassin’s Creed game is very automatic so it never really feels like I'm doing the interesting things. But it is a step in the right direction and AC fans should be happy Shadow of War And here's another game that needed to do a lot to impress me. I will never understand how Mordor got so much praise. I'm not saying it's a bad game but the level of praise for it just seemed a bit crazy to me. With War, you are thrown right outside a base and can mess around with a few missions and I went straight with the siege mission. I have to say I'm not feeling this one. It just seemed like more of the same with a bigger scale. It is intersting though as I was frustrated with how weak I was while my criticism with the first game was that I hated how overpowered I was. In this case, I hadn't put any skills into any abilities and I went to capture a zone that had 3 captains in there and of course all my hits were just bouncing off them without any skills so it was just a waste of time attacking them. I thought that was a really weird way to setup the demo but I guess when the press got hands on, they didn't have any time limit so they could mess around a bit more. For me, it was just frustrating so I just got myself killed, and attacked around the outside of the castle to get used to things and new skills before unfortunately the time went out. So yes, it is more of the same really and like with AC, whatever your feelings are on the series for that and this, should still be the same with the sequels. Just one other note, I did play this on the One X and it was fine. I don't know, I honestly think it's pretty hard to actually tell a major difference without having it side by side or at least understanding what it'll be like on the One S.

      @dramaticslowmo Oh, actually I was at that one too when Shu had a session. I know ya, Saturday is disgusting really. That will probably be like an indie day for me. I'll try and get whatever big hitters out of the way Thursday and Friday.

      So I started playing the game yesterday as an early birthday present to myself. I find the game strangely powerful in it's representation of mental health. Hearing the constant voices and seeing strange but very subtle visual cues and artifacts really gave me a sense of unease and anxiousness that usually only games like Souls achieve, but for very different reasons. Will be diving deeper into it today, but already very impressed.

      Hmm, I don't have issues downloading on PSN. And most of my games are digital. Most of my download issues are Destiny related. And that's on Bungie for not having spare servers to handle the additional traffic caused by updates. Also, the Euro is not as strong as it was years ago.

      @Sheria That thumbnail isn't really flattering for sure. But she really has that certain spark in her when you see her going and talking, I enjoy to see that in a person. Looks like she'll be 45 in November this year.

      Loved this game so much, ended up pulling the trigger on it twice (once on PC cuz I just had to play it, no regrets and again on PS4 cuz its the system I game on the most). Like mentioned before each element of the game was wonderfully realized to set up a fantastic atmosphere. I loved the puzzles and how the game kept throwing new things at you, even in a couple secret areas they kinda threw in new game mechanics just for that one little section. This game is a great example of how short doesn't always mean bad, and can sometimes just mean extremely polished, no filler all killer.
