I’m glad it’s not just me - I’m primarily a PC gamer so only get consoles for exclusive games, and there are hardly any on the Xbox One. I only got it at Christmas and am pretty much done with it after playing Halo 5 and Gears of War 4 (which isn’t even an exclusive but I feel more at home playing it on an Xbox after…

Yeah, it’s been a while since I used MSN. It’s all Skype these days.

But adding such a vehicle to the game a couple of weeks before Mass Effect: Andromeda is released (which brings the much-awaited returns of the Mako) in an update called ‘Path Finder’ (the role of the protagonist in Andromeda) sure does seem like non-coincidental timing.

I agree, but do you have an Xbox One? Because there’s pretty much nothing Sony could do to make the PS4's user interface worse than the Xbox One’s, which is horrendous and I just can’t get used to it.

But they promised it would make gaming great again! It was gonna be yuge!

Yep. I’ve been playing Zelda for 20 years and always just assumed each one was standalone, with references to any previous heroes merely myths. The attempts to make all of the games fit into a coherent timeline just seem like unecessary headaches to me (although I do love the Hyrule Historia).

They both came to me broken - the Pro controller knowingly, because I like to tinker with things so I’ll often buy faulty stuff just to see if I can repair it. Haven’t got around to fixing it yet, though, because it was sold to me as an official one but after opening it up it turns out it’s a fake and I’m having…

What a save!

You might as well get Zelda now and wait a year or two for the Switch, until its price has dropped and you can get it with 3-5 must have games instead of just one, because chances are you won’t mind replaying Breath of the Wild.

You know what, I also have a Pro controller, also with broken analogue sticks. I was aware of that one, though - been meaning to fix it for a while - so I’ve ordered 4 replacement sticks and should be able to fix both at the same time.

I would be playing The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild - in fact I was playing it earlier, getting it on the Wii U because, hey, I bought that console two years in anticipation of new Zelda by the end of 2015, so it might as well get used for that, and as much as I’d like a Switch I can’t justify the purchase…

The X-Files episode “Arcadia” is all I can think of every time I think of a home owners’ association.

He’s currently shooting a movie where he plays a guy trapped in the woods so, I dunno, maybe that has something to do with it.

^This. People can be two things. Although we really do prefer it when everything around us is just one thing - and that’s part of the dichotomy.

I think many people would - right now people pirating it might be those who have a copy ordered for Friday but just want the thrill of playing it right now, before release day, or they’re treating it as try-before-you-buy, in the absence of a demo. Those who pirate it and don’t pay for it are likely to be people who…

The most pirated movies/video games/whatever are always the ones that are also the highest selling - piracy numbers are just a low percentage of sales, and it will be an even lower percentage in the case of a Wii U game because a) piracy isn’t as easy on the Wii U as it is, say, on a PC and b) not that many people…

I’m from the UK and, for my birthday about a year ago, my girlfriend took me to a history of gaming exhibition that had a whole host of video game systems from all eras on display, many of them set up and playable - everything from an original Pong console to an Oculus Rift. It said it was the biggest collection of…

I like it when trophies/achievements work like that. I didn’t care about them at all until I was playing Fallout 3 and I’d completed the main quest and most side quests, then I started using the achievement list as a ‘to do’ list because I didn’t feel like I was done with the game yet.

They should give him a Switch and every launch game. Unless he’s planning on doing the SNES next...

Where is this museum? I have to go!
