    Do you think Reddit has killed traditional forums?

    I think there are just a lot of factors generally - most of which have already been mentioned - influencing the decline of traditional forums; I don't think Reddit is an overly big contributor to this, however. When it comes to Reddit specifically, I think it just does a good job adapting that...

    [V2] What are you currently playing?

    Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep I've always felt that the main storylines for Aqua (best voice actor in the series IMO), Terra & Ventus, but the actually storylines within the worlds are huge fillers - even more so than other Kingdom Hearts titles. I didn't realise how grindy fully completing...

    Physical vs Digital

    It largely depends on the game but also the system. Since I moved house at the end of 2020 and had our first child in early 2021, I don't purchase half the amount of games that I used to for two reasons: Storage - we have plenty of storage space in our house, but a lot of it is taken up now...

    Kingdom Hearts IV announced & 20th anniversary trailer revealed

    An example of convoluted - the girl in the trailer (Strelitzia) actually died in KHUX, over 100 years before Sora was born. :wacky: I'm glad Nomura is seemingly going down the Master of Masters route as an arc; I hope that means they bring the Foretellers into the story too - despite them being...

    FFVII Remake Intergrade announced for PS5 - visually enhanced & with new Yuffie episode

    Agreed. Even as a PS5 owner, it irritates me slightly to have the DLC locked exclusively to that console - if the game had been originally developed solely for the PS5 it wouldn't be a problem, but to alienate fans that bought the game for it's original platform does not sit right with me...

    What albums do you own?

    Not strictly albums per se - admittedly, because of streaming, I don't actually own any physical albums. However, I did start collecting vinyls the back end of last year for some bizarre reasons and got a few videogame soundtracks to start off with... 🙈 (Photo frames are deliberately turned...

    [V2] What are you currently playing?

    Hope Pokemon Snap turns out to be good, it's definitely one I'm looking at for the future... when there is more free time to be had. Just started Nier Replicant, the fun, family game for all ages. I played Nier Gestalt many moons ago and remember loving it - and the soundtrack is up there...

    [V5] What's Your Mood?

    Excellent. Took a somewhat short hiatus - and by short, I mean five months - away from internet activity for what could be perceived as... major life events. Finally pushed through our house purchase at the end of November, after nine months of the seller dragging her heels. We were making...

    [V6] What are you currently listening to?

    Watched three times, shed tears three times. Not even ashamed. Just because this lady's ability is mesmerising. 🙌

    [V5] What's Your Mood?

    Excellent. Fiancee and I finally - 8 months / 36 weeks / 255 days - since our offer was accepted have had our new house legally exchanged and is ours next Friday. Probably won't be able to move in until January 2021 and will, without doubt, be a manic few weeks prepping for our new arrival...

    Rhythm-action spinoff Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory announced for PS4, Xbox One & Switch

    From what I can remember, it is the remix version in MoM - I think Deep Jungle (Tarzan) and The Caribbean (PoTC) are not included because of licensing issues. Just completed it last night (354/354 stars) and it was a thoroughly enjoyable rhythm game - outside of the last 15-20 minutes, there's...

    Game Screenshots: Architecture Gallery

    Couldn't pass up photo mode in God of War and The Last of Us 2. Gorgeous games.

    Your Favourite Videogame Songs!

    Having just finished The Last of Us 2 and God of War (2018), a couple of new editions. I'm going to have to go with a very difficult decision in naming a top 3 for God of War (2018) - the soundtrack is phenomenal and would be very easy just to link to the whole thing. 1. Ashes (the vocals from...

    CDPR implement Mandatory Overtime for final stretch of Cyberpunk 2077

    It depends largely on the severity of the crunch, both in terms of hours worked and workplace environment. I would be surprised if every single CDPR employee is working the same length of hours - there are probably some employees that have completed (or close to completed) their contribution...

    Playstation Which Playstation 5 version are you getting?

    Physical version. The digital version comes in at £90.00 less, but for my own personal preferences, it's far more expensive to purchase digital over the long term. Digital is only cost effective if you intend to keep all physical purchases; the additional cost of going physical is completely...

    [V6] What are you currently listening to?

    Completely forgot Foxes existed for about three years until I stumbled across her again today. Had some banging hits 6/7 years ago then disappeared. Favourite female vocalist and can't wait for the new album in November. Absolute babe. ☝

    Final Fantasy XVI General Discussion Thread

    I'm half surprised, half unsurprised. There was a large part of me that thought it was in early development given the lack of overall footage, and what was shown looked very similar throughout. However, part of me also thought after the reveal trailer that it looks a fairly early PS4...

    SPOILERS FFVII Remake Spoiler Discussion Thread

    There are large elements of that email that make no sense from either a business or development standpoint. The Crisis Core points make it sound like a Boris Johnson press conference: "Crisis Core will be completely written out and plot points entirely discarded, except those that aren't and...

    Six's Graphics

    I hated them... until I came across stalkers (which I completely forgot were introduced in The Last of Us), and then they weren't so bad. Nothing creepier than those mofos hiding behind furniture in the pitch black. I'm particularly a fan of the third version of the three; I get real Stranger...

    Final Fantasy XVI General Discussion Thread

    I wouldn't be concerned about Final Fantasy XVI not coming to Xbox at some stage, in fact, I'd put good money on it coming to Xbox. Unless Sony are directly funding the project - either significantly or in part - it makes zero financial sense for Square Enix to make it exclusive, certainly...
