Crossout

Has anyone here tried Crossout? I have been playing for a couple of weeks and am having a blast. It is vehicle combat against AI or PVP teams in vehicles you can modify or create based on the parts you earn through the game. If you want to give it a try (it is free) let me know and I will help you level up. I have been playing solo, but think it would be better as a team.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

I've just finished watching all of the Final Fantasy VII Remake coverage from Square Enix's E3 conference and I am beyond hyped. The original is my favourite game of all time, and the reason why I love video games. This is a 100 hour game that I've completed at least 10 times in the 22 years since it was released, the entire soundtrack is seared into my memory forever. When I first saw the opening cutscene on Christmas Day 1997, my tiny, ten year old mind was blown. The remake, which is going to be released March 2020, is going to cover only the Midgar (the main city of the game) section, which is only about the first 10 percent of the entire game, and t…

Fallout 76

So, the upcoming game in the acclaimed Fallout series from Bethesda that isn't single-player like the previous games in the series, but a full multiplayer experience instead (an online survival RPG). When they introduced it at E3 this year, I immediately thought of this game as another potential main game for us. Now, I haven't played any of the Fallout games myself yet, but they've been on my "shopping list" for years now and I know the series is widely loved. From what I've seen and read about this entry, I'm very interested in this game to say the least. Anyway, check out the E3 reveal yourself: Some questions about the game are kind of ans…

@Con Sorry, I tried to post it in the chatbox, but I was over 300 characters, lol. So, here goes nothing: I like that they've made the game play more player interactive. You have the ability to listen to enemies when you're hiding in certain areas using your camcorder, so you can avoid them when you're trying to find a way out. This has definitely heightened the fear factor for me personally. Especially with the volume loud and clear using your headset - you feel as if they're right next to you or behind you. I can only imagine how scarier it could be if put into a VR format. When you're attacked by specific characters you have the ability to break free oth…

Is anyone buying into Days Gone being a legitimate title for PS4? And a stretch is anyone looking at it being a legitimate contender to battle against The Last Of Us? I'm buying in just to see how it works out. And I'm intrigued in the mechanics and story... And yes the Motorcycle Club idea has got my eyes as always. Lol

I have been on iRacing for a year and change now and have been running under my own team name. Now I have decided to create an XDBX team for just me but want a Custom XDBX Logo to go on the cars I race. I am terrible at creating stuff from paint so I was wondering if any graphics type people in here can help out. Unfortunately because of the crew name I can only use XDBX gaming and not Domestic Battery. Thanks in advance.

The Godfather Game [The EA Wasted Concept]

The Godfather films went down as masterpieces of art. (Aparts from III) The EA titles however... they got a whole lot of crap. And they weren't (in my opinion) that bad. If anything.. they were pretty cool. I must've invested a shh tonne of hours into those bad boys. Replaying the title. Hell I even had the original on PSP at one point. GF was alot more complex in the fact you had a lot more racketeering properties on the map to take over. But 2 let you go to work with your own crime family tree and raise your own lil empire across three lays of land. I used to play TheMafiaBoss text based mmorpg when I was a younger cat (geeky days I guess) One thi…

I read a bit about this upcoming title a couple of days ago, and it will definitely be a game that I pickup when it's released. Essentially, it is a Sci-Fi discovery game set in an open universe where planets and worlds generate right at that moment, and it's sort of up to you as to how you prepare for the journey and what roads and measures you decide to take. The game looks absolutely stunning, and I prefer non-linear sandbox style games, so this one is going to get a lot of attention from me. I don't normally like a lot of fantasy, but this sounds like something I could easily sink hours and hours into playing. Have a look at the li…

Apex Legends

Anyone tried Apex Legends yet? There is a lot of ‘manafactured hype’ about this game right now, there is no escaping it. Had a few games the other night, it seems to be a quality game but it fell a little flat for me. I am not keen on the classes and abilities. I was hoping for a high end PubG but it certainly isn’t that. I much preferred playing with friends than randoms, I will give it another shot but right now I’m in the fence. What are other people’s thoughts?

I had fun playing this new free to play, Battle Royal game & could immediately tell I would most likely enjoy it because of what it brings to mind. Each Legend have their unique tactical ability that might be useful at pivital times though I didn't respect it initially until encountering the enemy using them effectively against me. You drop in as a member in a squad of three into the game as one member control where we land in synchrony or we can branch of mid flight & land wherever. I could pick up guns, health, armor, shield, grenades, bullets, scopes, extended magazines, stocks, compensators, missiles strike & gun barrel. The menu system was easy &…

Haven't seen any talk about this game here, so I'm just going to say that it's fucking fantastic. Everything about it is fun and highly polished, the combat, the webslinging, the story. The graphics are stunning and the facial animation and the voice acting are also, unsurprisingly, brilliant. Have some screenshots.

There are great Co-op games of various kind out there for us to enjoy that aren't GTA and offer a different, but equally (if not more) enjoyable experiences from GTA for just a small group of crewmates/friends (instead of a large group). The following PS4 games for small groups of friends are good fun and there are even more of those, but since these here are also on sale right now for one region or another on the PS Store, I'll kick this thread off with this small list of Co-op/Multiplayer games that we could be playing together in a group of 2-6 from time to time: Payday 2 - Crimewave Edition & the Big Score DLC Bundle £11.99 (similar price in …

Hello I am looking to channel my sons gaming interest into a strategy game that we can play together for a long time ahead. He is 8 now and i think we will play on PC. I have been looking at Civilazation V but I have never played it. I want it to be fun for me as well so something where you can be strategic and play over a long time (months at least). Maybe we can build/ create something together or at least in the same world. Needing two PC is not a problem. So now I am asking for suggestions?

At last! The awesome rocket science sim is again out on consoles and it is awesome. A fantastic sandbox full of geeky nerdy joy, if you like flying then this is well worth checking out. It's also hard, because rocket science! But nothing is quite so joyful to watch as a rocket going cartwheeling.

235Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Bladerunner (1982) dir Ridley Scott For me, this is one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. It's a film that has be re-released at least twice. I have seen the original theatrical release, the 1992 Director's Cut, and the 2007 Final Cut. The 1992 version, I think, set the trend for other director's to release Director's cuts of their films. It's certainly the first one I ever saw. However, despite the name, Ridley Scott did not have complete control over that version. He did over the 2007 one, and it's that one that I am reviewing. I could not remember the differences to the 1992 one without looking them up, but both of the later ones get rid of a voice over (a bit like a 1940s detective film) and different ending that got added to the original after feedback from test audiences (I think). It's based on the Philip K. d*ck novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”. The basics of the plot is the same as the book, but the specific story is very different in places. I would recommend the book to anyone who is a fan of serious sci-fi, but it's the sort of book you need to really concentrate on. It was written in 1968 and set in 2019 when that seemed a long way in the future. The world the story is set in is way more advanced than we are now. Harrison Ford plays Deckard, a retired LA cop, a Bladerunner, who specialises in tracking down and terminating rogue androids, called replicants. These are indistinguishable from real humans to all but the experts. Even people like Dekard can only tell for sure by lengthy interrogation of suspected replicants that is designed to show up lack of emotions that real humans have. Replicants are banned from Earth, only supposed to be used on off-world space colonies. Any that do get found on Earth can be killed on the spot. Deckard is brought back by his boss Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh) and his assistant Gaff (Edward James Olmos) because a group of replicants hijacked a ship that was later found abandoned on Earth. They are believed to be in LA seeking their creator, Mr. Tyrell (Joe Turkel). The replicants, at least those that have not already been eliminated, are lead by Batty (Rutger Hauer) and others are played by Daryl Hannah, Brion Jones and Joanna Cassidy. William Sanderson plays Sebastian, a lonely man with a premature ageing disease who makes his on androids (not realistic or dangerous enough to be classed as replicants) and Sean Young plays Tyrell's PA Rachel. The cast are, overall, good, but Rutger Hauer gives the best performance I ever saw of him as Batty varies from charming, to psychopathic, to child-like fearful naïvety. There is a big plot element to do with Deckard and Rachel that I won't spoil, and various things thrown in that have kept some fans speculating as to the true nature of the various characters. If you know the film you will probably know what I am referring to here. I will say that I don't see in the film all the things that some claim to clearly see, but I see enough to agree with the consensus. Also some of the theories about that do not apply to all versions of the film. The sets and cinematography are stunning. It still looks to me well ahead of its time, as does Ridely Scott's Alien, so to me it shows what great film makers could achieve well before they had access to sort of CGI and AI tech available today. It also has a pretty good modern score from Vangelis. The best scene is the penultimate one, just with Batty and Deckard and includes the famous “tears in the rain” monologue that, apart from a few hundred years of technological development, would not have been out of place in a Shakespeare play. 10 / 10 The theatrical version I would only give an 8 to because, although I have only ever seen it once, I do remember the voice-over annoying me and the altered ending, a little bit added on, pointlessly changes the story.- 1

What I Watched This Week #172 (Apr 14-20) Alien dir. Ridley Scott/1979/1h57m One of the greatest sci-fi horror films of all time, Ridley Scott's Alien stars Sigourney Weaver as a member of a deep space mining crew who takes a detour to an SOS message on the long journey back to Earth, finding a crashed ship full of eggs. My favourite thing about this film after seeing it so many times is how worn and lived in the ship is. I totally believe that it's real and functional and that this crew has spent months living in it. The opening sequence where we explore the empty ship while the crew is in cryosleep not only builds tension but allows us to take in the incredible details in the production design. Speaking of design, H.R. Giger's design for the xenomorph is the best in movie history (though the lil guy who bursts out of John Hurt's chest is kinda cute and goofy looking). The aggressively ph*llic look of it works well with the very male perspective fear of r*pe and childbirth. The whole cast is excellent, alongside Weaver and Hurt you have Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton and Yaphet Kotto, the latter two making a great comedic double team. 9.5/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Now You See Me dir. Louis Leterrier/2013/1h56m Now You See Me tells the story of a group of Las Vegas magicians known as the Four Horsemen (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco) who rob banks live during their show, distributing the money to their audience. They are being tracked by Mark Ruffalo's FBI agent Rhodes who is determined to uncover their secrets. Totally forgettable fluff, there are some nice moments in here, and I liked the twist at the end even though you can see it coming a mile away. The big trick showpieces are entertaining in that artificial Vegas way that also feels hollow and meaningless. My biggest gripe here is with the four main characters and that I didn't like any of them. Like real magicians I found them to be annoying and so far up their own *sses that I was actively rooting against them every step of the way. The exception is Harrelson, though he comes close at times. There's solid support from Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, with Ruffalo giving the best performance in the film. This is the definition of inoffensive cinematic background noise. 5/10 Cinderella dir. Georges Méliès/1899/6m Georges Méliès here with some more ground breaking work from the dawn of cinema. Not only is this the first film adaptation of Cinderella, it's also the first film adaptation of any fairy tale and also the first film to use dissolves to transition between scenes (with this being his first film with more than one scene). Watching this is to watch the evolution of film in real time, and, like the rest of his work, it's nothing less than magical. This is Méliès becoming more innovative and inventive with his films becoming more complex and technically demanding. The sets and costumes are beautifully detailed and like illustrations come to life. It's amazing to me that a film from the 19th century can still be so magical. 8/10 How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies dir. Pat Boonnitipat/2024/2h7m This family drama/comedy from Thailand stars Putthipong Assaratanakul as M, a lazy young man who has dropped out of college to try and start a streaming career ("wow four viewers" his mother chides early on). When he learns that his grandmother (Usha Seamkhum) has cancer he thinks that he can weasel his way to the top of her will by moving in with her to care for her. A tender and gentle film that also surprises with some pretty dark humour, I found this to be incredibly charming with two excellent lead performances from Assaratanakul and Seamkhum. Seamkhum is particularly impressive in her late in life film debut as the wily old woman who sees through all the bullsh*t from her grandson, but also sees something of herself in him. The plot is fairly predictable - of course the two will grow closer to each other and form a real bond by the time she dies - but the journey to that point, and the touching epilogue, I really enjoyed. There's a lot of family drama with the grandmother's children but it always feels close to reality and not emotionally manipulative or overly melodramatic at any point. 9/10 Shock Treatment dir. Jim Sharman/1981/1h34m Shock Treatment is a sequel to one of my all time favourite films, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and picks up with Brad and Janet (now played by Cliff DeYoung and Jessica Harper) a few years later with their marriage now on the rocks. To rectify this they appear on a TV show with the result being Brad getting committed to a psychiatric hospital run by Dr. Cosmo McKinley (Richard O'Brien) and Janet getting groomed for superstardom. This is perhaps even more bizarre than Rocky Horror, certainly more cynical, with the world now seeming to exists as a series of TV shows, a live studio audience never leaving, sleeping in their seats as the film happens on screens all around them. It's a strange dystopia that seems to predict the dominance TV would have over our lives to an even greater extent in the era of commercialism and Reganomics. If there's not a camera on you then you don't exist, like the antithesis of Rocky Horror's theme of "don't dream it, be it". Many of the Rocky Horror cast returns with the exception of Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as Janet and Brad (though DeYoung and especially Harper do an excellent job in the roles) and most notably Tim Curry. I kept imagining him in the role played by Barry Humphries (most famous for playing Dame Edna Everage), a garishly sleazy host called Bert Schnick. Humphries is great, but we all know Curry would have been better. Another slight let down for me is the soundtrack. As a musical this doesn't really compare with Rocky Horror, though there are some catchy tunes in there, the main theme still popping into my head occasionally. 9/10 #21xoxo dir. Sine Ozbilge, Imge Ozbilge/2019/9m This animated short from Belgium shows a girl (Indra de Bruyn) and her experiences with online dating, hooking up with several men before finding a genuine connection. The most striking thing about this film are the visuals, with the film being rotoscoped, a process where live action footage is traced over by animators giving it natural movement, a process used by Disney for Snow White back in 1937. Here it's given a thoroughly modern makeover, with the screen bombarded with text and images and memes representing the experience of being chronically online. The aesthetic also calls to mind pop art of the 60's, showing that the digital world may be new but the problems of finding a partner are anything but. It's at times overwhelming, purposefully so, but there's still a cohesion between all these elements. The ending is a bit on the nose but it's well done, wrapping the whole thing up maybe a bit too neatly. 7/10 Toomas Beneath the Valley of the Wild Wolves dir. Chintis Lundgren, Drasko Ivezic/2019/18m Another animated short, this time from Estonia, this tells the story of Toomas (Drasko Ivezic), a wolf who is fired after turning down his boss's advances. With a wife and children to support he turns to prostitution and then gay p*rn. Meanwhile, his wife Viivi (Chintis Lundgren) is learning some things about herself thanks to militant feminist Alexandra Horn-Eye (Lee Delong). This reminded me a lot of Bug Diner, another charming and cheeky animation about sexuality and relationships starring anthropomorphic animals. That was stop motion while this is animated in a simple yet effective style, the linework wobbling between frames like Doug, the 90's cartoon. Like Bug Diner, this is also a very mature film with more human characters than a lot of live action films that tackle the same subjects. 8.5/10 No Home But Cinema: The Spaces of Chantal Akerman dir. Jessica McGoff/2025/14m (no trailer for this, so here's one for a similar film) This short essay film explores the films of Chantal Akerman through her use of space and locations, how she films them, how she moves through them and what they represent. McGoff doesn't narrate this film, rather her essay is presented as text on the screen over clips from films that illustrate her points. I like this approach and how it's executed. The text isn't presented in blocks but line by line and is edited with the rhythm of the film clips so that they're unobtrusive and allow you to fully immerse in the various worlds of Akerman. This doesn't go too in depth with any of her observations as they are things you will pick up on by just watching the films, but it would work as a good introduction to her and what to look out for in her work. 7/10 Hotel Monterey dir. Chantal Akerman/1973/1h3m (no trailer so have an extended clip) Staying with Chantal Akerman, Hotel Monterey is an observational documentary in which she explores the titular hotel, a cheap one in New York where she stayed when she first moved to the city, from the lobby to the roof. It starts off at night where her camera captures people milling about in the lobby, taking the elevators up and down. She then prowls the corridors like a ghost, her very formally structured compositions bringing out the textures of the grimy yellow walls. Methodically we move upwards until we are on the roof, it is day now, and the feeling of escape is palpable. We do this all in silence, and I mean total silence. No music, no background noise, nothing. Not only does this make us even more aware of what we're seeing on screen, but it also makes us aware of our own environment. An exploration of space is happening on the screen and in real life at the same time and it's kind of amazing once you notice that. It's like Akerman speaking out of time saying here I am, where are you? This also feels like a prelude to her masterful film News From Home, in which she takes the same approach but expands it to the whole city, though this time with sound. This totally isn't for everyone, it's not even close to what you'd call entertaining, but if you give it a chance you'll get so much out of it. 8.5/10- 1
