    The weather thread

    Yea but when most days here are 11c, 29c is bloody hot. It doesn't help that UK homes are built to keep heat in either. A dry heat is fine, but when it's muggy not so much.

    The Game Thread!

    Still haven't completed it yet, but from what I've played it's good. Seeing the real Bioware teams new game though, there has blown my mind, there's some really good games to look forward to after E3. EA get a bad rep, but stuff like this free trial is great. I wasn't sure what to expect from Mirrors Edge Catalyst but I'm loving it. The movement is superb and it looks awesome even though I'm only running it on ultra (there's a level above ultra)

    Yep, that's why they do it because people forget, I already have a reminder setup. :joy:

    Nice EA Origin Access has a free 7 day trial. Mirrors Edge Catalyst for free :D  I would also download BF4 and Battlefront, but I'm guessing multiplayer is pretty dead.

    Never installed mods for GTA myself, but this is going to piss off a lot of people. http://www.pcgamer.com/gta-modding-tool-openiv-shuts-down-claiming-cease-and-desist-from-take-two/

    So yesterday I setup wheel for the first time in a while to play Dirt 4, must say it has really brought a whole new level of enjoyment to it. Also I've proved to myself how much better I am using a wheel, a race I couldn't win using a controller, I won with my first go in D4 using my wheel. It's also a proper workout, if only F1 had the level of FFB detail as the Dirt series. The FFB in F1 hasn't changed since the first game even though they keep saying they've improved it, no doubt they will say the same for F1 17.

    OMG Nintendo just announced a proper Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch, the first time it's ever been on a home console, hyped!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Started out feeling meh about the game, but now I love it. The graphics aren't the prettiest running it at 1440p on PC, but the game play is what matters the most to me. The only nice addition to running your own would be if you could see your facilities and the upgrades to them rather than just menus, overall though I like it, it's kind of similar to the first Grid game.

    BTCC discussion

    That was horrific, only found out today. Luke in particular has bad injuries, so I'm hoping for a good recovery. Driving in the wet is tricky enough, driving in the wet with oil on the track is impossible, especially in the fastest section.

    Formula E Thread

    Haha your dad and I are very similar then. The racing can be fun, but stuff like that puts me right off, as it's a popularity contest.

    Formula E Thread

    Watched my first race since last season, I see they have added more gimmicks not less. If they added pyrotechnics to the Monaco tunnel in F1 they'd get laughed back to main land France....

    The Game Thread!

    I'm having some serious fun in Dirt 4, at first I was like meh, but now I love it. Also performance wasn't great on Ultra, so I had to use high, then Nvidia released a driver for it and I now get 60fps on ultra. Rallycross and landrush are especially fun.

    The Game Thread!

    Having separate axis for pedals isn't a drain on resources, it's been a thing since the PS2 era, it's just lazy development. I get they are small, but every year they'd bang on about putting more focus on wheel users, every year there was no change. Then the last WRC game they made there was literally no road feedback. So even though I'm more inclined to use a controller due to my medical issues I won't be giving them any more money. I'm not saying it's bad, but the game never changes or improves. I'm still glad it exists, because there aren't enough rally games.

    The Game Thread!

    I'm the opposite, every game Milestone made was pure trash in my opinion. Even wheel support only had one axis for pedals, so it couldn't recognise both pedals at the same time, hilarious for modern games. WRC 6 is awesome though, I'm so glad Milestone no longer have the license, they never improved the game year on year. I'll be buying Pcars 2 and For a 7, the first proper Forza game on PC, something I never thought we'd see.

    The Game Thread!

    yeah they've been talking about this a lot on the BSN forum today. Think it shows how talented the guys at Bioware really are when they can put together a game like MEA when put under that much pressure. Especially considering it is still a pretty decent game despite it's flaws. Not perfect mind you and it's flaws do show quite a bit but they have done a decent job. Hopefully they can kind of get a chance to make up for it though by delivering a couple of decent DLC's kind of like what they did when DA2 fell short but only time will tell I guess. They are still working and patching the game up though so there is still hope as there's a new patch incoming soon for it in fact I think tomorrow as they released some patch notes yesterday for it. They aren't making DLC from what I've seen, only stuff for multilayer. Most of the team has been moved to Battlefront 2 support team.

    No wonder Mass Effect Andromeda was so rough, this is really poor from EA. To create what they did in so little time is an achievement, but I bet working conditions were poor, something EA got into trouble for years back. http://www.pcgamer.com/most-of-mass-effect-andromeda-was-developed-in-just-18-months-report-says/

    What was your last purchase

    My original iPad Air still works like a charm. IOS has changed so much since buying it, yet it still works great. I won't touch a iPhone again, I hated my 5s. Saying that my Sony Z5 has buggered up many times and I've had to completely reset it, something I've never had to do with my iPad. Android in general is unstable because of all the different devices, but it can also do a lot more than iOS. You don't have to say sorry for going off topic, you're the law around these parts  :p

    What was your last purchase

    And just to be clear, I didn't convert him. He told me he was coming to the dark side, I nearly spat my drink out. Welcome to the dark side, iPad's are great. All the crap I got from him and now he has one and likes it  B)

    The Game Thread!

    It is indeed. No they publish it, a studio called Kylotonn made it, I think it's a French team, they have done a great job. I think on PSN there's a deal for £15 or even less if you have PS+. I'm looking forward to WRC 7 now as I'm enjoying it so much :) Edit: Now played it for many hours, I love it. I only bought it because I was bored late last night and couldn't sleep, I wasn't expecting it to be this good.

    Bought WRC 6 for £9 last night (it's £34 on Steam lol) I became interested once I find out it was made by a different developer and not Milestone. It's actually really good, brilliant graphics and decent physics. So far the rally stages have been great fun :D

    The Game Thread!

    Been playing Drive Club for the past hour, I've come to the conclusion that it's a really fun game. It's a shame Sony shut the studio down, as it became good eventually, but that's Sony for you :trollface:

    Lol indeed.  I'm never getting a curved monitor though, I've used one and don't see the appeal. This is what I'll be getting after I get a new car in December  https://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-acer-xb271hu-g-sync-led-monitor-165hz-ips-panel-2560x1440-4ms-1000000001-hdmi-dp-usb-2x-speakers-

    @RevolvingPrawn I would, but I want the new Gran Turismo game, whatever millennium it's released lol. I tend not to sell my consoles because you get barely anything and then the store makes a huge profit in it. I could use Ebay, but I'm too lazy :joy: Another thing I forgot is how hot the PS4 gets, just sitting at the home screen it gets very hot. When I just turned it on it booted to safe mode, get less issues with a PC, I now remember why I stopped using it.
