“The most recent patch, dubbed the Bedrock addition”

I read this but then I saw the UK General Election exit polls...

Agreed. I thought it was really good in terms of how it was more GTA but technologically more advanced, but it was just business as usual, for better or worse - and there don't seem to have been as many games influenced by it in the last 6 years as there were influenced by, say, GTA III - because when that was…

Dark Souls was released in 2011, it was Demon’s Souls that was released in 2009.

How would that ruin anyone's excitement? It's not a new game so obviously it's been on other platforms before (Xbox, PC, PS3, Vita, iOS, Android, even Ouya). What does the fact that it was on Xbox first have to do with anything?

Yeah, the only time I've ever had fun with Halo was when playing it with someone else.

How could you get splitscreen to work on a PC?

Ah, okay. Yeah I knew you didn’t mean they were on Game Pass, but as you’d just mentioned “free” games and then Lost Odyssey, which was given away free at some point, I thought you meant you’d got that and Blue Dragon for free. I guess you missed the Lost Odyssey promo though - sorry about that! As for Blue Dragon,…

Whoa, whoa - when/where/how was Blue Dragon free? I always wanted to play that and Lost Odyssey - and did get Lost Odyssey when it was free - but never saw anything about Blue Dragon, and was actually looking for a copy on eBay this week.

Same here - I have a PC and all consoles, but the PS4 and Switch only get used for exclusives and the PC mostly gets used for anything that’s best played at a desk with keyboard and mouse, so the Xbox One X gets used all the time for any third party game that I want to play on the TV, lounging on the sofa. That's…

Sony has a Game Pass competitor - PS Now. It started as a way to stream PS3 games to PS4 and PC (as an overpriced half-assed consolation prize for those who wanted backwards compatibility) but now also has PS4 games, which work like Game Pass. But it's more expensive despite having a much worse selection, with games…

They were both on PS2 as well, as was Resident Evil 4 (which is on Switch). The other two Capcom Five games were Dead Phoenix, which was cancelled, and PN03, which remains a GC exclusive.

Yeah, the prices are killing me. I was okay paying full Nintendo price for 1-2 games per year - it started with Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey - but this year I've already bought New Super Mario Bros, Mario Maker, Fire Emblem and Link's Awakening and yet I've still got Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokémon to get, plus…

Wargroove is excellent, as is Fire Emblem - I haven’t finished it yet but the reviewers consensus is that it doesn’t have the same writing/plot issues that previous games have.

Also a multi platform gamer and I love my Switch. I'd say the amount of time I spend on it has grown this year, thanks to the steady stream of releases, to the point where it's equal to any of my other consoles or PC. The handheld aspect really helps, especially as I'm into strategy and RPGs and those are games that…

You can get third party Pro controllers that are exact replicas of the official ones for a fraction of the price - as in, they even have the Nintendo and the Switch logos on, which is pretty naughty. But I paid £50 for my Pro controller and only £12 for one of these fakes and the quality is about the same - they’re…

Superhot VR

I get your point - since I first got a PC there have been lots of games that have made me go “Damn, I’m going to have to upgrade!”, and sometimes that’s been a great excuse to upgrade and sometimes it’s been more painful, because I haven’t been able to justify the upgrade cost at the time - but I’ve never begrudged…

Couldn't agree more. I love her Doctor, I love having more companions and I loved having more historical stories. In many ways the last season was the closest to Classic Who that New Who has ever been and it was better for it.

That’s a lot to go through - do you have anything specific to go on?
