If you like that type of game it is meant to be worth getting on next gen or PC.

I do not have a good enough PC or next gen console so am going to wait and play it.

Might wait for several patches as well.

Was gonna wait til I have a PS5 but uh might instead wait til it's in the discount bin...

Have heard console is a mess. Impulse bought on PC last weekend and still haven't come across a bug.
Have a mid range set up, not bargain basement with aged specs but not a 4k+ build either and runs fine at medium/high settings. Plays well and enjoying it a lot.

If they can fix the PS/Xbox bugs they could have the makings of a quality title. But for most, I guess waiting is probably prudent.

Just don't let your save file get above 8MB or it'll corrupt.

Yeah really mixed reviews.

Only just discovered Banshee, what a cracking show.

Started Your Honor last night on Stan. Anyone else on it? ****ing outstanding.

 

[jod23]

Anyone watched Into The Night on Netflix. It's excellent!

I've finally gotten onto the Crown. Tried to watch from the start but found it a bit too boring so skipped forward to season 4 and am now hooked.

I was googling around today and randomly a scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air popped into my head, it was a funny episode where Tom Lister Jr (Deebo from Friday) was in it. I decided to Google the actor to see what else he has been in lately and found out he died this month from symptoms of Covid. Really sad, he was only 62.

Hell yes, I was thinking of some episodes lately. Where are you up to? It can get quite brutal and graphic. Happy that you have discovered the show, it is so much fun.

Halfway through the last season, sad its going to end.

Yeah, 4 seasons felt way too short. Brilliant while it lasted, though.

Have you ever wondered how someone who looks like Smithers from The Simpsons can be so dangerous? Clay Burton.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Anyone got cyberpunk 2077?

Waiting for the next gen version, happy to keep pumping hours into Valhalla in the meantime.

Just started Hell on Wheels on Binge, fantastic series.

Its great.

Is that a documentary about Leeds United? You know, because the PL can sometimes be hell and Leeds United’s players never stop running, so it looks as easy as riding a bike?

Quite a different take compared to his comments back in May re: Dominic Cummings travelling from London to Durham despite he and his wife being unwell with COVID-like symptoms.

"He followed the instinct of any father or parent. He acted responsibly and with integrity."

In all seriousness, the situation in the UK is looking dire. Thinking particularly of those of you in London and the South East who are stuck in lockdown for Christmas.

Isnt the vaccine out now though? UK expected to turn things around?

If this is a new strain, I doubt a vaccine will help.

 

[Zidane98]

Isnt the vaccine out now though? UK expected to turn things around?

From what I heard only enough for front line health workers and elderley at this stage.

You would need a significant percentage of the population vaccinated to stop the spread. Once that happens combined with herd immunity for existing recovered cases you would expect virus rates to drop off quickly.

Vaccine roll out will take a good 6-12 months wont it

 

[chef]

And with the mutating strains will it be a once a year thing?

 

[SM]

The vaccine is being implemented but it doesn't get injected into millions of people over night mate.

And as people are saying this seems to be a new strain which is part of the difficulty in creating a vaccine against a coronavirus in the first place.

And politicians of course.

And even then it's playing catch up once the new strain emerges, what we really need is effective treatments for people who are suffering from it as well as a vaccine to minimise spread.
