I don’t realise Gamepass was increasing it prices so much, will look at alternative options now. @Matty with the Loaded option - ca you buy an annual pass or do you have to remember to purchase monthly?

You can buy 1, 3, 6 and 12 months cards. They're cheap at the moment, so many of the 6 and 12 months are frequently out of stock. I think you can stack them for 2 years, so people are going ham and maxing it out for the current price.

For those that have long memories, Bunta (formerly of this parish) worked on Battlefield 6. He's quite pleased with what they've done.

I don't think the games are that old.

Babbage's Difference Engine was the best gaming machine and so much more real than these modern consoles.

Based on some pretty decent preview videos ive pre-ordered Project Motor Racing.

Not trying to be contrary, but I'm not enjoying BF6 much anymore. TTK is insanely low, netcode feels like once you're hit you're dead, there's nowhere to get cover, maps are too small and performance variance across the maps is very large. Overall I find myself going back to 2042 a lot because that feels like it's in a good place and the sandbox experience is so much better. I was looking forward to BF6, but it really will be my last BF.

I've not been into online shooters for many years. Feels like the standard is too high for a casual gamer and you'll just get whooped by 12 year olds unless you can put in a few hours every day

I’m looking forward to this if I can play it! Had surgery on my hand that hasn’t worked, waiting for more surgery end of Jan to try and stop my thumb collapsing!

That final setup looks scarily expensive

There's an absolute madman that DIYed a 6dof motion rig and streams Elite Dangerous for hours. Must have an iron constitution.

I was pondering a PS5 if there's some good Black Friday offers but I think I'll put it off for another year

GT7 actually plays great on my PS4 Pro and I have way too much other stuff to finish. Enjoying original RDR (which I didn't play at the time) on the switch2.

GTA slipping (again) certainly helps our plans for next year, I won't lie. Much as we're not a direct rival, GTA does tend to suck the oxygen out of the market when it drops.

Am slightly more concerned about the Devs being let go from R*.

New VR headset, controller and gaming box from Valve for 2026 is exciting and has the potential to suck up all discretionary spending for the year.

If the VR is priced against the Quest 3 it'll be a preorder for me.
