To all those saying it’s no big deal just wait until the Arcane server gets hacked, goes down or has scheduled maintenance when you want to play the game you paid good money for. Why do they do this for the single player campaign, I know it’s to prevent cheating and piracy etc but those sorts of people always find a workaround and it ends up stinging the rest of us for no reason. Really hope they go back on this like back 4 blood did.

@OM1993 Exactly

@MrList Totally agree with you, I remember playing GT7 last year, it needed persistent online connection for single player - cue me with my free day to game and the game went off line (not PSN or my internet), absolutely fuming. Redfall just isn’t as appealing to me now 🫤

@ZYDIO Lol, big time

@ZYDIO You should speak to CD Projekt Red, I’m sure they could advise

I’ve completed the campaign, I used to do 2 plays, one on normal and one on legendary, I couldn’t face going back for the legendary. Re the MP, I dip in now and again, it’s ok. But oks not really good enough for Halo 🫤

As an active gamer in my 40s with the same passion I had from day one, without sounding like an old man it was better in my day etc. I fully understand the gaming landscape, technologies, complexities and game development has drastically changed. Something I am thankful for as it has brought us some classics over the years and will do in the future - I would say tho, with day one patches/releases in questionable states, it dulls my excitement for games releases. Case in point Dead Space; just come out, I was looking really forward to it but still wasn’t sure until I had seen a good few trusted reviews. Jedi fallen survivor, Hogwarts legacy both look good but will they be ok day one? Have to wait and see. Back in the day you just dropped the money and what was there was what you got, this wasn’t a thing and it made it a bit more fun. Games are still enjoyable to me and I still get excited (Redfall and Starfield - please be good) just not as much as back before all this patching

Better to polish it now and wait for it to come out and be great day one. Nobody wants the day one turd that needs polishing to be great.

I came for Redfall curious and now I’m definitely all in, looks awesome and has cool stranger things vibes. Love a shadow drop, not my thing but looks cool. Overall really happy. B for me personally

£70 is a lot for a game, forgetting game pass for something like Forza Horizon 5, Halo infinite it would be worth it in my opinion for what the games content is out of the box. But for games like dead space remake it really makes me hesitant to buy them
Day as those sort of games are more of a 1 and done. They should have just left it at £60. This could damage the industry in the long term and stifle creativity even further

Dead space - first big release of 2023, looking like a good year ahead

Should have read - ‘We know this is predictable news’

I probably speak for many others when I say this, but I really hope this won’t be another Cyberpunk 2077 rush job. It looks good and I’m optimistic when it’s released it will be ready

@ParsnipHero Lol what about Metal Gear Solid

Lol what a faker, Xbox in 1997. What’s he smoking… come to think of it, probably the magic mushrooms and cannabis he fully admitted to using around that time in his book

Merry Christmas to all my fellow gamers out there, hope you all got some nice gaming gifts and are having a good day ☺️👍🏻

I’ve re-download it today and am really enjoying it again. Definitely worth having in your collection, I think the problem is the first 3 games were so good at the time. Although infinite is good it won’t go down in gaming history like some of its predecessors.

I clocked just over 3 days total play (finished campaign and lots of MP) loved it initially. It was the best FPS to come out, alongside Battlefield and COD vanguard, infinite was the better of the 3. However, although initially hooked I quickly stopped playing around this time last year, after the Christmas armours obtained and battle pass completed. I’ve not played it since. As much as I love Halo, sadly it wasn’t a return to greatness that I’d hoped for. IMO the staying power of halo 2 and 3 wasn’t there. Campaign was a 1 and done, felt a bit empty in places, environment became bland and the supporting characters weren’t as good. Looking back I’d give it a solid 7.5/10. Good but not great and the chief deserved better.

Can’t wait to give this a go, visually it’s refreshingly different, also I love the silly humour. I get it’s not for everyone, but I think the pissing pants jokes and skits like the Mac n Cheese construction bros are hilarious. Can’t help but laugh at it as it’s so ridiculous. Result it’s on game pass. There needs to be unique games like this coming out more often
