    upcoming games & movies

    It's not my favourite game in the series. I've been longing for a Metal Gear Solid remake but still was curious about this one. But it just looks like they've slapped makeup on an old game. Thought I would be okay with it, but everything just looks off for me.

    Which aspects of Shenmue are genuinely better executed than in most modern games?

    To be fair, I think I see where you're coming from. There has definitely been something missing wiyh gaming in recent years, with this generation being the absolute worse. I think the Xbox 360 era was one of the best with a mix of new innovations and quality mainstream games. Now, the business...

    I assuming that's a typo and you meant to say "game"!

    Fitness & Health Dojo

    January last year I was around 133kg and not too long before I was at my heaviest at 136kg. Now I would say I am a solid 120kg and no longer pre-diabetic. This year I was about 123kg so nearly half way to losing another stone, though shedding these extra few pounds is proving a little difficult...

    Which aspects of Shenmue are genuinely better executed than in most modern games?

    I just loaded up the 70 man battle and it hit me not only how good the combat system is, but how dumbed down most third-person games are. Even games that I live and consider my favourite like God of War and The Witcher 3, you are mostly limited to weak attacks and strong attacks with a bit of...

    League of Legends Ruined My Life

    I was obsessed with Persona 5. I remember taking a conscious 3 months break from it as I couldn't stop playing it. I was couldn't wait to pick it up again. Felt like going into a final season of a really good TV series. I have a somewhat opposite problem with e-football. For the past 20 years...

    Recent Gaming Purchases

    Haven't got a TV at the moment as it developed a fault so the retailer took it back and gave me a voucher. Haven't got a new TV yet as I'm debating between a 65" and 77". Anyone way, I recently got £140 worth of Amazon vouchers from switching broadband, mobile sim provider and opening an...

    Recent Gaming Purchases

    I remember when wrestling games were the most played in my house. So much fun but haven't purchased a wrestling game since the first one on the Xbox 360.

    What are you playing?

    Just finished it. Like it, but because I complete Playroom so many times and saw my son play through it so many times, it was more of an okay experience. 7/10 I would give it. Would have loved to see it take the graphics up to another level and maybe have some VR support. I'm playing Space...

    What are you playing?

    Astro Bot I do like the game, but I'm finding my obsession of finding all the bots and puzzles first time round is somewhat killing the experience. Instead of naturally going through the levels, I'm check every nook and cranny! About 70 bots to go so almost at the end. Next game will then be...

    What TV shows are you watching?

    I got free Apple + for a couple of months so started watching Silo. Good I guess but saw it's just been renewed for a 3rd and final 4th season. Don't think it's the type of show I really want to wait on so will just pick it up again when the final season is realised.

    Interior Design

    Annoyingly I couldn't find picture of my bedroom but thought I would share pictures of the revamp of the children's room. A bit of back story, I was inspired by my bedroom and how moving things around created so much space. Previously, my office desk was in the kids room, taking up space and...

    Interior Design

    Many thanks. I remember these pictures from another post years ago. Loving the clean look. My only concern with my place, and what stops me from doing a lot of work on it, is the quality of tradesman in this country is shockingly bad. I've hired so many people over the years for various jobs and...

    Interior Design

    @code l name Mate, your place looks amazing and I think we have a similar liking for design. Japandi is what I've been googling all this time for some inspiration. Regarding fireplace, the entire room is going to be ripped out and done again, though I may consider getting the walls painted and...
