    Petition to prohibit publishers from disabling video games they have already sold.

    Worth signing.

    Really disliked GTA5. played it and gave it away soon afterwards. 

    In terms of enjoyment I rate rockstar games that I've played like this..

    RDR 2
    GTA San Andreas 
    GTA vice city
    The warriors 
    Max Payne
    GTA 2
    Bully
    GTA 3
    GTA London
    GTA 5
    GTA 1
    Manhunt
    Earth worm Jim 3 

    GTA V was an absolute masterpiece IMO. Surprised you don't rate it. It was the best game i had ever played until RDR2 which raised the bar even higher. The expectation for GTAVI is going to be insane. Anything less than the best game ever made will disappoint a lot of people.

    I think it just felt too realistic/modern in certain ways for me. Which GTA 6 will be as well. for example the first 4 games i listed are all nostalgic pieces. wild west, 1980s Miami, 1990s LA, and late 70s New York. it made them more fun to be in their respected worlds. I'm not saying GTA 5 wasn't good and I shouldn't have said "really disliked it" it's just I didn't enjoy it as much. 
    It's funny you mention the realism of GTA 5, because it was actually a step away from realism compared to GTA4. The physics in GTA4 was scary good.

    I agree, especially the driving and the cars. More realistic.

    GTA 4 was really good and it also had other decent downloadable single player stories.

    I wasn't a fan of the Russian protagonist and its shame you couldn't fly planes. They were the main downsides.

    I recently did some work on Death Stranding 2 and Directive 8020; both look as though they have the potential to be great games, especially if you're into your sci-fi.

    Looking for a cheap 2nd hand switch if anyone has recently upgraded to the switch 2 and is wanting to sell one, will look on ebay but thought I'd mention it here too.

    I've bought Metal gear v and Ace combat 7 for my Steam deck  B)

    Might sign up to game pass and stream Starfield through it, cloud gaming works really well I find but you do need a good Internet connection 
    Ah a fellow Steam Deck owner! How are you finding it?

    Not an upcoming game

    But just completed Vampyr on PS5

    Got the game when I had a PS4 but never got around to playing it so downloaded it when I got a PS5 and have to say it's one of the best games I have ever played, if you haven't played it yet I would advise you to play it

    I tried Vampyr for maybe about 20 minutes when I got my PS5, probably one to give another chance at some point. 

    The makers of Vampyr also made Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, it’s another one I might try as it has some decent reviews.

    For new games I’m looking forward to Resident Evil 9, the recent trailer shows (now much older) Leon Kennedy is playable.

    007 First Light looks promising, could fill the gap left by Uncharted.

    Was interesting to see there’s two new Tomb Raider games coming, next year a remake of the original, and another in 2027.

    The one I really want is the third and final part of the FFVII remake series. Sounds like the title could be confirmed and hopefully with that a release date.

    Yeah I may look at Banishers myself @Scoham when I was looking to see if they were planning a Vampyr 2 I saw Banishers mentioned and apparently it's in the same universe (despite being set about 200 years before Vampyr) but it is apparently the same universe with some connecting Lore and references

    Loving Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Even the janky combat has its charm.

    007 looks good, a mix of the great worlds that IOI put together for Hitman, with more arcade-y action stuff and set pieces like Uncharted
