No surprises with Ever Crisis then. It's simply a mobile game with gatcha mechanics. Although in theory you could play through a rather nice representation of FF7 with some decent art and re-arranged soundtrack, in practice you'd have to play tiny little sections at a time, and also have to play through Crisis Core and First Soldier in the same manner in order to open up more chapters. SE know what they want from these games, they've made an obscene amount of money from this formula, so although it's certainly not 'cheap', it's very very hard to recommend if you're unfamiliar with how these games work.

Depends if you're AMD or not it seems. If you are, you're much more likely to get it running well.

Did you play it on release? I played it via PS+ on PS5 and have to say it was absolutely perfect performance wise, but did hear it was pretty rough in the early days on PS4. The lines of dialogue that always got me were Deek's responses to Cope after you get his radio broadcasts. He's full on shouting and it's so unnecessary, but also kind of hilarious. A DG2 with 500+ hordes though...oh man, there'd be nothing like it. I loved the jeopardy of trying to take down a horde, having spent time to gather the resources to make a bunch of napalm, which you can't simply buy of course, and then just **** it up and getting swarmed

Just one trophy to go for the Plat (I think) in Days Gone. Takes a few hours to get going before it really shows it's strengths, but once you put the time in...I've got to say it's been one of my best experiences with an open world game, well, ever. True enough though that I bought in to the zombie apocalypse and biker vibe very quickly, and that absolutely wouldn't be for everyone. Such a shame there's apparently going to be no sequel, especially given the stinger in that final cut scene of the last post game mission. Really, truly, did not see that coming! Put a massive stupid smile on my face...which was wiped off when I remembered no one will probably ever know what was supposed to happen next!

FF7 Ever Crisis is available on your favourite app store now. Haven't given it a go yet, will return with thoughts when I have.

Did not expect to see Hanatarash/i when browsing this thread. Legendary stuff. I guess Eye is done with noise now, which is a shame, as Gero have put out some great stuff since Juntaro, uh...resurfaced.

Are there really any smarks who are actually surprised by the AEW product though? I don't think so. It was always going to be a big budget PWG / ROH mash up, and that's what it is.

I can't imagine flights plus the actual holiday with my 2 year. My girlfriend and I made something of a pact and agreed to no foreign holidays for the next 5-10 years after we decided to try for a kid. Butlins / Haven / Centre Parcs, etc will do us until then.

Haven't seen it, but All Out is rated higher at the moment than All In on Cagematch - which is kind of extraordinary given the circumstances. I really must try and keep up with AEW.

It doesn't look bad exactly, but there does appear to be a big difference between the pretty bits and the ugly bits, some of those tree textures I've seen in the city environs, yeesh. The good news though is that the delays to it's release seem to have allowed them to iron out any bugs, and there don't appear to be any major issues in that regard. I really hope it's a better game than say 6/10 as I love Bethesda's games. Well, I used to... Metacritic has it scoring at an 88 at the moment, which is way better than what I expected at day one, although certainly not the ground breaking must buy that would sway me to buy an Xbox console as suggested above

I don't have (nor shall I) the relevant tier on PS Plus for it, but I don't mind waiting!

I've found the build for the Dem v DCJ fued lacking a bit so far. Perhaps if they book a TLC match I'd be a bit more invested.

Looks great doesn't it! I'll pick it up in a sale on PSN at some point I hope.

Doesn't appear to be anything to do with Microsoft, it's purely from Bethesda. Very odd, I don't suppose you can rule out the court case, but it doesn't appear to be the reason.

What a sad state of affairs that they have so little faith in their game that they feel the need to dodge certain reviewers and / or are frit of metacritic scores.

Bethesda are withholding review copies of this. Either they want to patch it before reviewers play it or....it's pure dog.

As I said to Gareth (virtually! Shame the VT meetup didn't happen, next year I'd really try and get there earlier and leave later) it was the quickest 6 hours of my life I think, great entertainment from start to finish. Next show for me will probably be Royal Quest 3 at the Copper Box in October, great great arena for wrestling. In a parellel to the All Out event, it takes place just a few days after Dominion though, which itself is a big show in Japan. No clue what the card will be yet, but it'll be worth going just to see Gabe Kidd acting like an utter mad man.

It's actually a fine view from our lofty height!

Still on the coach...but I can at least see the Wembley arch now, and have witnessed a Villa away win en route, can't be that bad.

Can't find an easily linkable thing...but there's a kind of canopy above the ring which looks to be maybe 10-20m above it...screens and that on all four sides, if you're mid or upper tier you probably won't see the ring?

Not sure how how many of you have seen the ring set up - won't link in case you don't wanna see before you walk in there - but I ain't gonna see shit for my seat in 505

Oh for sure. I was close to selling my Dreamcast and array of games not long ago, tested them, everything in full working order...decided against it in the end! Most of my SNES stuff went though.

Finally got my e tickets delivered! Didn't feel right to me, sorting transport before actually having a ticket...but there you go. Really looking forward to it! I'll actually be drinking in Cov early afternoon before jumping on the coach, so in the highly unlikely event that there's another VTer in Cov and they're going to All In...no?

I see doors are confirmed as 3.30, my coach gets in at 4, so I guess I'll miss pre drinks...but possibly good for post drinks as the departure time is pretty generous assuming they stick to curfew which they...will have to? Washed my Jun Kasai shirt today in preparation!
