I agree with you on this bit but we canā€™t ever be friends if you donā€™t like all those tycoon style games :rofl:

Slightly different but donā€™t forget Theme Hospital!

I played the newer version of this ā€˜Two Point Hospitalā€™ a while back and it brought back lots of happy memories.

:sweat_smile::joy: just doesnā€™t interest me, those build your own types, thatā€™s also why Iā€™m rubbish at Fortnite. Definitely do not like sims or Minecraft :joy:

I canā€™t build on Fortnite to save my life! My strategy when I come under attack is to just spam whatever build button I can and swing the joystick in every direction and hope for the best!

Iā€™ve never played Fortnite, Iā€™m not young and ā€œcoolā€ enough :sweat_smile:

Sims on the other hand was another classic from back in the day :smiling_face:

Sid Meierā€™s Civilization was excellent, even if I was rubbish at it.

I never played the Sims, seemed too much like watered-down Will Wright to me. Why would I want to mess about with individual people in a house when I could play with entire infrastructures in Sim City?

Bloody loved Railroad Tycoon - and that game was probably why I always tried to build railways rather than roads in Sim City too.

And before all those - Populous 2. The god of god games, no?

Literally got my xbox ready to go for 5pm, and just this minute finished my work for today (though crunch begins tomorrow to hit Marchā€™s deadlines so only really have today to enjoy it :sob:)!

I presume the small update that went out at 2am is the one for the DLC and Iā€™m not gonna get a surprise This game needs an update prompt when I try to launch given thereā€™s nothing else showing up in the updates!

Very excited anyway! :grin:

edit: itā€™s live! Eerie intro music!

As a 55yr old gamer, Iā€™ve had almost every handheld and most consoles I can think off (loved my gamegear and atari Linx) love my shooters and battlefields and COD series is amazing, so are halo and wolfstein.

Itā€™s great to game!

Iā€™m late to the game but just started PokĆ©mon Legends andā€¦ wow. I now want to play all games this way.

Also took the plunge for an OLED Switch. I really am looking forward to games like No Manā€™s Sky coming later this year and think itā€™ll look awesome on a bigger screen.

Same sentiment here!

Much in the same way that the experience of the letā€™s go games and sword and shield made it very difficult for me to go back and enjoy the diamond and pearl remakes, this is probably going to make it very difficult to return to the older gameplay mechanics of the main games too! Itā€™s just an all round pleasing experience. Best since letā€™s go!

PokĆ©mon sword and shield already feel ancient and archaic compared to the gameplay and mechanics used in this game. Theyā€™ve built a phenomenally intuitive system here that I hope lives on in all future games and has the quirks ironed out. No more regressions please gamefreak! :pray:

ive discovered ( probably because im a tight wad lol) that since i subscribed to playstation+ and playstation now that some of the ā€˜freeā€™ games do me , the graphics on the ps5 are some thing else

Iā€™m enjoying Horizon Forbidden West but as always, absolutely useless at remembering to buy weapon and armour upgrades and lose temper because I keep dying :joy:

cyberpunk 2077 is my ps5 game just now it has promise
