The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

^I've never played CTR but certainly would like to!

Also, I've hit my first major roadblock in a Crash game...namely the level 'Road to Nowhere' in the first game! Requires near precision jumping the whole level. It's quite nerve-racking.

I like that they're making her the protagonist the film though, since she was always my character in Borderlands. 

I shudder to think who they're going to cast as Brick and Mordecai. Brick needs to be a big dude so I really wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Dwayne Johnson. 

I don't have much expectation of this movie, regardless of who they cast though. Video game movies, in general, don't exactly have a good track record. They really fucked up the last Tomb Raider. 

hmm...I don't know about this one. My first reaction is that this is a major miscast, unless he's playing against type. 

They've already revealed Cate Blanchett as Lilith as well, which also raises eyebrows. Don't mean to sound ageist but why are the casting a 52 year old actress as a character who is supposed to be 27?

Also reminded me that I never finished New Dawn. That was the game I was playing during the big hard drive death of 2019. I really must finish that. I don't think it was as good as the base game due to some poor writing decisions but the gameplay was as solid as ever. 

Really begs the question of why I didn't do this sooner. 

I just wish it could be used outside of Steam, since having watched the two films I'm literally drooling over the boxset for TV series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex on blu-ray, but since it can't I may end up picking up a few games after all. Question is what. I've started to look at The Outer Worlds again but I'm really not sure. It may get a deeper discount in the future (it's 50% off @ £24.99) and I'm still annoyed over the Epic Store sellout. Same goes for Borderlands 3, doubly so even as I had the story for that game spoiled for me and it pissed me off so much that for now I'm actually content to pretend that the series ended with Borderlands 2/Pre-Sequel.

Or I could just take the plunge on Cyberpunk 2077, but that looks like it could be a lot of stress I don't really want just to get it running. Logic dictates its safer to hold the money in reserve and see how its reputation changes. It's easily the game that most excites me right now but just about every warning bell is going off in my head. 

I've also been looking at Control, but I'm wary as I quickly lost interest in Remedy's last game Quantum Break. 

Anyone got any recommendations for me? Or can convince me on The Outer Worlds? Looking to spend around £25 (or more depending on how much more inventory I can sell), leaving £50 in reserve for Cyberpunk when I do decide it's time to buy. May stretch to a bit less in reserve on the assumption of Cyberpunk may be getting a small discount by the next major sale (especially with CD project RED's reputation in tatters).
