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.

249Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Operation Mincemeat (2021) dir John Madden A WWII film focussing the efforts of British intelligence to trick Germany into thinking an upcoming major operation was going to happen somewhere else, so that they diverted defending forces away from the actual location. The basics are a true story. The characters are mainly the real people who were involved. It has a great ensemble cast. The main characters are two officers working for MI5, one from the navy and one from the air force, played by Colin Firth and Matthew McFadden, with Kelly MacDonald and Penelope Wilton playing their civilian assistants. It also features Johnny Flynn as the young Lt. Ian Fleming who narrates some scenes in a style that could well have been passages from his James Bond novels. You could, at a big stretch, almost class this as Bond film since it features characters referred to as M (head of MI5, Jason Issacs) and Q-branch (the gadget inventor, James Fleet). Simon Russel Beale also puts in a great performance as Winston Churchill. I have heard of Operation Mincemeat, knew the basics of it, that Ian Fleming was involved and what the outcome was. I don't think it's a spoiler to say the plan worked, as various characters in the film say that if it doesn't the allies won't win the war. The plan was to take the body of recently deceased man, a Welshman living rough in London called Glyndwr Michael, dress him in an officer's uniform, attach a brief case containing fake, but apparently top-secret documents, and then release it from a submarine such that it would wash up on a Spanish beach. Spain was neutral in WWII but under the regime of the Fascist, pro-n*zi, General Franco. So British intelligence knew that the contents of the brief case should find their way into the hands of German agents, before being returned to Britain, and thus the fake information would find it's way to Berlin. The operation they were planning for was the allied invasion of Italy, then Germany's ally. The fake information was one part of bigger plan to convince the Germans it was occupied Greece that was going to be invaded. The subsequent invasion of Italy is one of the lesser known parts of the war. Much is made, quite rightly, of the D-day landings, but that was not the first invasion of German controlled Europe, it was this invasion of Italy, nearly a year earlier. So it's nice to see a film about this aspect of the war, because there aren't very many of them. The film shows the meticulous level of detail the agents went to, creating a whole fake identity, Major William Martin, along with personal letters, a photo of a fiancé, etc. The plot does come across somewhat unbelievable at times and includes a completely unnecessary romantic sub-plot. Even if some of that is what actually happened, the way the films portrays this comes across as if the producers wanted to “s*x it up” and add these elements in because they thought the story of the planning and execution of the operation was not interesting enough. I was all set to give this a lower score than I did, but the last 30 mins or so redeemed it a little. What I found really interesting was, after the the plan had been put into action, the role British diplomats in Spain then had to play to make sure that the brief case of fake documents did indeed end up in German hands. Because after all the detailed and careful planning, it could have easily been undone by a Spanish official simply handing the brief case straight back to Britain, as was technically the correct thing for a neutral country to do, but not what they were supposed to do according to the pro-German Fascist regime in charge. There's almost none of the action you usually get in war films, until right at the end when we see an American infantry sergeant, a minor character introduced earlier, on board a landing craft, storming a Sicilian beach which was taken and held with relatively light causalities. All due to the success of Operation Mincemeat diverting German forces hundreds of miles away. 6 / 10- 2

What I Watched This Week #179 (June 2-8) Escape from Alcatraz dir. Don Siegel/1979/1h53m Clint Eastwood stars in this prison break drama based on the true story of the only man to escape from the famous prison island off the San Francisco coast, Frank Morris. This film takes its time, much like Eastwood's performance style it's understated, deliberate and measured, with none of the melodrama of something like The Shawshank Redemption. The plot is simple, Eastwood arrives at the prison, spends some time scoping it out, then enacts his plan. It's the little things that give weight to this film, particularly the character of Doc (Roberts Blossom), who quietly represents the unshakeable human yearning for freedom with his portraits and the symbolic use of chrysanthemums. At times the pace of the film does undercut some of the urgency of the escape attempt, but I did like the ambiguous ending that doesn't tell you what happened to Frank after he got past the prison walls. 7.5/10 Rhinestone dir. Bob Clark/1984/1h51m I was scrolling through Sylvester Stallone's filmography and came across this, and knew that I had to watch it just to make sure that it's real. Rhinestone stars Dolly Parton as aspiring singer Jake who needs to get out of her crummy contract at the titular New York country music club. To do this she makes a bet with the manager, Freddie (Ron Leibman), that she can turn anyone into a country singer. The person chosen is tone deaf cab driver Nick, played by Stallone. To do this she takes him back home to Tennessee for some real country experience. Stallone also co-wrote this based on the song Rhinestone Cowboy. Really, it even says so in the opening credits. This whole thing is like a fever dream, especially the scenes where Stallone sings by howling like a demented gibbon. He plays his role like an overactive child with attention issues. Parton is just as sweet and charming as she always is, and the moments when she gets to sing are obviously excellent. I also liked Richard Farnsworth as Parton's father. This is not a good film, but it is a bizarre film, and it has its charms. 6/10 The Hustler dir. Robert Rossen/1961/2h14m Paul Newman stars in his iconic role of pool hustler Fast Eddie Felson who is on the fast track to self destruction as he becomes obsessed with beating the best pool player in the world, Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). This is a film in three distinct acts. The first and third are Felson's showdowns with Fats which bookend a tragic romance between Felson and Sarah (Piper Laurie), a depressed alcoholic. This is a bleak film about addicts and losers, yet there is beauty in the direction that makes this world of smoky pool halls cool and alluring. It also helps that Newman is incredibly handsome. The two pool games between Eddie and Fats are the showpieces here and are given the attention they deserve, with Eddie losing even when he wins, that's just the kind of man he is. Gleason is great as Eddie's opposite, someone totally calm and in control of their emotions. Laurie is heart breaking as Sarah, with only one inevitable outcome for her. Rounding out the main cast is George C. Scott as Bert, the sleazy and manipulative pool hall owner. As a standalone film this is excellent, but wouldn't it be good if we caught up with Eddie let's say twenty five years later? 9/10 Lime's Co-Film of the Week! The Color of Money dir. Martin Scorsese/1986/1h59m Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money catches up with Fast Eddie Felson (a returning Paul Newman) twenty five years after the events of The Hustler. He's now making a decent living off of whiskey, but when a hotshot young pool player, Vince (Tom Cruise), catches his eye he wants back in the hustling game. Without the context of The Hustler this is still a fantastic film full of Scorsese's trademark moves, but with the added history of the character a whole new tragic dimension is added. Eddie is a man full of regrets, so when he sees a chance to recapture his glory days he'll do anything he can to grab it, his old instincts kicking in almost instantly. He's there to use Vince, and he's open about it. But Vince is no d*mmy, even though he may act like it, and with his more emotionally mature girlfriend Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) he may end up teaching Eddie a thing or two. This has a much different vibe to the previous film, very fitting for the time it was made, and the pool scenes are edited violently by Scorsese's long time editor Thelma Schoonmaker, almost like they're fight scenes. This is a Scorsese film I've not seen before, and didn't really have any interest in before watching The Hustler, but I think this is one of his best works of the decade, only The King of Comedy is better in my opinion. Combined with The Hustler this is an epic, four hour rise and fall and rise and fall and maybe rise again story that spans decades. And it all ends on a high note with a brilliant one liner and a classic Scorsese freeze frame. 9/10 Lime's Co-Film of the Week! Bottom: Exposed dir. Adrian Edmondson/2024/1h30m This made for TV documentary covers the creation, production, reception and legacy of one of my all time favourite shows, Bottom. Written and performed by the late, great (he said so himself) Rik Mayall (seriously, his autobiography is called Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ) and Adrian Edmondson (director of this documentary), Bottom was a BBC comedy that ran for three series in the 90's and was violently crude, obscene, anarchic, absurd and offensive, and one of the funniest things I've ever seen, with slapstick fight scenes that would make Chaplin blush and a sound effects guy straight out of the Looney Tunes. The documentary itself is fine if very standard, featuring interviews with cast, crew and fans, but the real gold is when Edmondson is talking about Mayall, the two being lifelong friends since university. It gets quite emotional at points, which Mayall would have f*cking hated. One of my favourite memories is going to see the Bottom live show with my dad in 2003, their last of five live tours, and even though it's the worst of the five (my favourite is split between 2 and 3), it was amazing being so close to such raw, unfiltered energy. If you've never seen Bottom before, watch it, because the main thing I took from this documentary and seeing all the clips from the show, is that it's been too long since I've seen it. 7/10 La Cage aux Folles dir. Edouard Molinaro/1978/1h32m This French comedy stars Ugo Tognazzi as Renato Baldi, owner of drag club La Cage aux Folles, with Michel Serrault playing Albin, aka Zaza, his partner and star performer. When Renato's son Laurent (Remi Laurent), who the couple have raised since he was a baby, comes home he has some big news. He's getting married. But unfortunately the parents of his girlfriend are in politics, on the conservative side. The very conservative side. So he asks his father and Albin to tone things down a bit while they are visiting. I think this film has aged pretty well considering it was made in the 70's, and while it does rely heavily on stereotypes it never comes across as mean spirited. Tognazzi is good in the lead role, being pulled between his partner, his son and his own identity, with Serrault stealing every scene he's in as a flighty drag queen. The highlight of the film is the climactic dinner party between the two sets of parents with Albin showing some real depth and character here. A little dated but still with a pure heart, I can't wait to compare it with the American remake (see next review). 8/10 The Birdcage dir. Mike Nichols/1996/1h59m Robin Williams and Nathan Lane star as drag club owner Armand Goldman and his partner and star performer Albert in this American remake of La Cage aux Folles. The plot remains basically unchanged from the French original, just with some extra time to let Williams and Lane shine. Considering he's playing a gay drag club owner Williams gives a fairly understated performance, with really only one instance of that classic over the top exuberance. All of that is left to Lane, who is hilarious here. My only real problem with this film, same as the original though I didn't mention it in my review, is that their son, Val (Dan Futterman), is an unappreciative *sshole. Thankfully that doesn't take too much away from this, and the presence of Gene Hackman as republican senator Kevin Keeley, his future father in law, really alleviates this, with him getting to exercise his comedy muscles (and he looks great in drag). This is a slice of fabulous fun and, thanks to the lead duo of Williams and Lane, is better than the original. 9/10- 2
