    The book discussion thread

    just about finished another book. I've been continuing the Old man's war series by John Scalzi and i've just finished the third book: The last colony. Our story returns back to John Perry (the narrator/protagonist of the first book) where he and Jane Sagan have beaten the odds and have...

    General Game Discussion for February 2026

    Intriguing. Might get it one day, but i'll wait for the reviews to come in. from what i see in the screenshots, it looks liked its set in medieval times. I prefer if it were a more modern setting. More variety and spice up the action. hell, i wouldn't mind a sort of underworld war where rival...

    General Game Discussion for February 2026

    So Ghost recon wildlands i've completed the 5 star area and honestly, a bit shocked at how short it is. There are effectively 3 missions. One is to interrogate officer, the other is to stop a convoy before finally making the hit on the target. Normally i would be sent out to do more things...

    You liked a game but weren't interested in the sequels?

    i heard the controversy as well. The game wasn't ready and the tech demos nvidia or whoever released for it were lies apparently. They manipulated the footage or something. Thankfully i got it a couple years later when the game was reduced to a knock down price because of the controversy and...

    You liked a game but weren't interested in the sequels?

    yeah arkham origins wasn't great. ok but nothing compared to the other arkham games. I found it rather uninspiring and a wasted opportunity. Partly because the story picks up at the start of batman's career so we're stuck with second tier villains and characters that haven't fully fleshed out...

    You liked a game but weren't interested in the sequels?

    yeah AA was a damn decent game. I argue it was probably a linear metroidvania as you could explore but if you follow the objectives you will eventually circle back to previous areas and complete them as needed. What i liked about AC was that it seemed like a natural progression up from AA. We...

    Ghost recon wildlands i'm still plodding along bolivia just exploring all POI and i've moved into my first 5 star difficulty area. This one is especially challenging as i'm going after unidad (the elite fighting force) and most of my weapons are a bit weak. Like my fav/reliable sniper rifle...

    You liked a game but weren't interested in the sequels?

    Although i played all the arkham games i must say arkham knight was extremely disappointing. The game world was small, the driving activities uninspired, limited and dull. The amount of time taken to make it from a dev that so far had done no wrong was a crushing disappointment. The trailers had...

    yeah at this rate star citizen is just not going to get finished. I'm surprised the staggering amount of money thrown into it. Could have done the world a lot of good. I wouldn't be surprised that by the time the game is finally finished, humanity could travel to the stars or we as a species...

    General Game Discussion for February 2026

    Would you say silksong is harder then hollow knight? there's no doubt i'll get the game, but maybe leave it for a bit whilst a few more DLC gets added. Don't want to go back at a later date to sort out unfinished business. i might have a look at that build and see what its like. i'm not a fan...

    The last game you completed

    Another game finished, this time its Fire emblem awakening on the 3ds. Its the usual fare, lands being invaded by monsters and aggressive invaders/cultists who want to resurrect an evil dragon to bring about the end of the world. As a fan of fire emblem series i was very much in my element and...
