General gaming discussion

I didn't know Sterling is trans/non-binary now. Just a disclaimer before anyone jumps down my throat for saying Jim.

Yeah, came out maybe 2 years or so ago. Also an amateur wrestler now in the UK. To be honest I don't watch as much of their videos now as I used to, but just because they became fairly repetitive and unnecessarily longer (so therefore repetition within the videos themselves, not just repetition of topics). Feels like they do less of a deep dive into the topics by discussing or researching things, and instead just rant a bit more. But fair play to them, they seem a lot happier in general and seems to be doing really well with the amateur wrestling.

They have pointed out on Twitter a lot previously that the majority of positive videos they do get less than half the views of the negative ones, and so they'd do the occasional positive one but just had to veer more towards the negative ones. It's why I began watching more Jimpressions videos instead, as they'd usually be playing/reviewing a game they wanted to play and enjoyed rather than just complaining for 15 minutes that Randy Pitchford said something. But even the Jimpressions videos fell by the wayside as Sterling began focusing more on the wrestling stuff. Even the Jimquisition videos often start or end with clips from their wrestling performances now.

It's full screen too on XBox ( 16:9 Vs 4:3 ) I believe. Pierce Brosnan was lucky this game exists. Makes it look like he's the definitive James Bond. For some reason this game is more appealing to me than e.g. Halo Infinite. Maybe because it's more believable and less cluttered and busy. I did play it on N64 back in the day, but never finished it.

So will setting off loads of proximity mines get the framerate down to single digits, for a more genuine experience?

I gave up on Sterling after their toxic videos resulted in death threats being sent to developers. Sterling turned around and said they can't be blamed for what their fans do. Knowing full well that every target if their video set their toxic fan base on the Devs.

The only thing I've agreed on is that BOTW is a bang on 7/10.

As a PlayStation player during that era I always remember being jealous of this game. Really disappointing that Xbox version doesn’t have multiplayer. Timesplitters 2 ended up kind of filling the multiplayer gap on ps2 if I recall.

Jesus, Annie Wersching (played Tess in The Last of Us) has died :(

Died of cancer (at only 45) and knowing US healthcare system, probably racked up a debt from treatment. Only a guess, who knows.

Edit: reading the gofundme page, sounds more like a friend letting her husband not worry about work for a while while grieving with 3 young kids.

It's not up to the common man to pay for her family. You don't have to pay. They put up the GFM and people, if they have the means to do so, can donate a little bit if they want.

If the common woman dies of cancer, their family can also set up a GFM. A lot of celebrities retweet requests from people to advertise the GFM for donations (possibly also donating themselves, I don't know).

I've redownloaded the game. Might be a while before I get to it though, but definitely interested to see how it plays. A big part of Hitman was the carefully designed levels, which give interesting and unique ways to take out the targets through playing the levels over and over again to find all the clues and info you need. How that translates to a roguelike will certainly be interesting.

I always just saw it as an additional puzzle aspect to the game. You could make your way to the target, wait til they're alone, then kill them and escape. But, by following all the hints and clues, and surveying the target more and more to work out their routes, you can pull off very slick (and often just funny) ways of killing them without even being near them. By that stage, chances are you've already killed them a bunch of ways in between while doing to level to find all the info anyway.

But the Freelancer mode does sound like it'll keep you always on your toes rather than knowing exactly who'll be where and when.

It's part of Ubisoft plus, has been since release day!

GOTY edition is now available through it :)

Games are listed here!

EDIT: I just realised that you probably mean the Ubi+ classics on PS+ :D

Sorry, it's not in that collection right now!

Yeah, looks like it's a curated list of games for PS, so that they don't get the latest releases basically!

Shíte, you could be waiting a while!

I went back playing Tetris Effect: Connected again. An audible and visual treat. It's available with Game Pass, so anybody who is subscribed to that should give it a try.
