    When pre-ordering on Gamestop, the €5 "deposit", is this lost if I cancel?

    I don't quite trust that the game will be delivered on release date, which lands on a Friday. (Elden Ring)

    It's possible to have both. But I agree that gameplay is more important.

    This is a great interview. A girl who grew up in the arcades in the 70's, gamer nearly 50 years before becoming a mod for the Dying Light subreddit. It's rare i post on Reddit but the DL sub is definitely one of the friendliest I've encountered and a lot of that is down to GamerMom being so friendly and helpful.

    Very interesting listen on how she deals with being a mod, gamer and mom with rheumatoid arthritis and staying positive.

    Sorry but not feeling Deaths Door. I've got to stop listening to Parris Wiley hyping sh!te games up. He lost all respect from me after the carry on out of him over cyber punk. Again Deaths Door, hyped to bejaysus and seriously I don't know how anyone can give it more than a meh. Respect to the 2 guys who made it, it get that aspect of it that it's fantastic from just 2 guys and I hope they get the success they need and come out with more games. But seriously, l'm glad the game was "free" on game pass and I don't feel that I have to play it and pretend to enjoy it because I paid for it.

    I was really enjoying it. Lovely flow to it and some gorgeous graphics. Like <franchise that can not be mentioned> with easier puzzles and harder bosses. Plus, and this is a big plus, it's a short game. It's fun to explore and find the power ups in the isometric world. Then I came across some PITA boss and I'm taking a break. I don't have the time or patience for that at the moment.

    I really really want to get OlliOlli World on launch but his have to push it back a few months. As many things as Danny Trejo is in, I was not expecting him to pop up in this.

    Was listening to a podcast with him and he is so grateful of getting out of his old life and into acting. He was saying that he turns up to auditions for student films and takes part in the projects to help people get into the business.

    Team17s foray into NFTs lasted around 33 hours.

    "Team17 is today announcing an end to the MetaWorms NFT project. We have listened to our teamsters, development partners, and our games’ communities, and the concerns they’ve expressed, and have therefore taken the decision to step back from the NFT space."

    Quite possibly the worst protagonist in any game that I have played. Even the randomly generated blank slates in Legion were more interesting.

    Ok, last boss on Deaths Door and I'm done. Not sure what next, might be Outer Wilds while it's still on GamePass.

    I know people didn't like him, but he suited the game more than these flashy not-Saints Row but wants to be Saints Row annoying characters. I'll take emotionless over annoying. As far as I'm concerned, there hasn't been a sequel to Watch_Dogs. Just 2 spin offs. 2 bad spin offs (even though I haven't played Legion, but I just know it's not a game for me).

    Started up Little Big Workshop from Now, i'm a sucker for these types of games so will tie me over until Dying Light 2 tomorrow, and will be a nice little inbetween game for when I need a break from DL2!

    Watching the apprentice atm and their task is to design a game from scratch and work with a dev to bring them to life. I have to admit that when i was trying to think what I would do to have a successful pitch, my mind went straight to microtransactions :D

    Currently playing a few things in the backlog, finding it difficult to settle because I know everything will be dropped in a couple of weeks when Elden Ring is out.

    Currently it’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Disco Elysium & Metal Gear Rising.

    Fire emblem is great an seemingly like advance wars half the game is a tutorial before the real stuff happens, haven’t really managed to get into DE, I think I’ll need to devote my full focus to that at some point. Metal Gear Rising is showing its age a bit - sometimes fantastic and suitably bonkers but the controls are sometimes fiddly and the camera is unforgivable!

    I found the DLC in Watch Dogs 2 and Legion to be better than those two main games.

    OlliOlli World seems to be getting some great reviews. I liked the first but bounced off the second. The team seem to have taken a big swing with this one and happy to see it pay off review-wise for them at least! Might have to give it a try when it’s out.

    Yeah I wasn't really too high on it until the reviews came out and Eurogamer beaming about it really sold it.

    I absolutely loved OlliOlli 2 so was looking forward to World but just a bad month for release. I decided to put off Sifu for a while but still on the fence whether to get OlliOlli or wait a bit. Definitely gonna get it at some stage and agree, happy out for the devs it's reviewing well.

    Does anyone else prefer Sonic games to Mario games despite growing up with a SNES?

    Oh god no. I was a SNES boy, so Mario would be better by default, but I never got the love for the hold right simulator.

    No I prefer Mario but admittedly I never played a sonic game properly. My cousin who I would only see rarely(living on other side of country) had a Sega Megadrive with a sonic game and I only played the first level. As in I never got to sit down and play it or learn to play it but I have played many Mario games properly as in start to finish.

    The first Mario game was more of a hold right simulator. Sonic you could and sometimes had to go left.
