I know the tech isn't anything crazy, but it blows my kid brain that it could exist. It's a cool little feature.

I don't need them, but being immediately taken to a screen with a plethora of accessibility options on first start up is really commendable (Stellar Blade).

Load your old saves to collect a bunch of achievements. There should be 45 trophies for KOTOR and 57 for KOTOR2.

I only had Dark Side saves on my XBOX ONE. Time for a Light Side replay.

Wondering if there's a game like that?

I'm currently playing Dying Light 2, and it's making me think about a game with zombies, where you would work across the map to "take back" sections of the map from the zombies/infected, progressing until the whole map is cleared. Does such a game exist?

I don't believe Project Zomboid fits this, neither do Days Gone or State of Decay.

Ahead of ‘Grand Theft Auto VI,’ Rockstar Staff Vote on Union Effort | Next 2 weeks could be a little hectic for employees at Rockstar. On Nov. 19, they’ll release 'GTA VI' to seismic success. And along the way, more than 1,600 staff in the UK will vote on whether to form a union

The ballot is open to Rockstar employees who are below director level at the company’s offices across the UK. The vote will run until Nov. 26. The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain says that if the current contract is recognized, it will “provide a framework for workers to negotiate over pay, including overtime and bonuses, as well as leave and pensions, and to have consultation rights over HR policies and the use of AI.”

In a press release announcing the union vote, Rockstar programmer and union representative Nestor Uriarte said that he was “incredibly proud” both of Grand Theft Auto VI and the organizing effort. “For me, those two things are connected,” he said. “We care deeply about the games we make, and we want to make sure we can continue doing that work in an environment where we’re respected, have a meaningful say over our conditions and can feel secure about our futures.”

Forza Horizon 6 Content Roadmap

Playground Games has detailed what to expect in Forza Horizon 6's upcoming series updates in early 2027.

Playground Games has shared a new video detailing what players can expect in Forza Horizon 6’s upcoming series updates into early 2027.

Presented by Design Director Torben Ellert and Senior Game Designer Will Hugh, the video reveals that Series 8, dubbed Horizon Holidays, will add a new winter-themed circuit to the stadium, with a Time Attack and Drift Attack track running alongside each other.

Series 8’s Drift Attack will also have different sized clipping points, with narrower ones that are harder to hit but offer higher multiplier rewards.  

Beyond that, a roadmap reveals what to expect in early 2027. Dubbed Legendary Explorers, Series 9 will add seven cars on 31st December.

Out of these, five will be Festival Playlist reward cars with an off-roading theme. New-to-Forza cars will include the Subaru Forester Sti Version, Subaru Outback Wilderness and Lexus GX 550 Overtrail. They are joined by the Toyota Hilux Arctic Trucks AT38 and classic Range Rover, which return from Forza Horizon 5.

Also making its Forza series debut as a Treasure car is the Datsun Baby, a diminutive 1960s car designed for learner drivers in Japan. With a top speed of 28 mph, it’s the slowest car in Forza Horizon 6. Lastly, the Renault 4L Export will return from Forza Horizon 5 a Playlist History Reward.  

Alongside the new cars, the series will introduce permanent new content for Legend Island, including a regional mascot and an extended Marathon street race event with an extended route across the island and Japan.

Next year will see the release of Forza Horizon 6’s first expansion on 21st January, with Playground Games teasing that details will be announced “soon.” This will also coincide with the long-awaited PS5 release and the Exotics & Tuners series. 

Five reward cars are confirmed for this series so far. By popular demand, the Honda Civic SIR-II will make its Forza series debut alongside a ‘Lola’ variant of the Toyota Corolla GT-S. This appears to be based on the hero car in Drifter, directed by and starring Sung Kang, which shares the same nickname.  

These will be joined by the Holden HSV Commodore Group A SV, which is new to Forza Horizon but previously featured in Forza Motorsport. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and Ferrari 599 GTO will also return from Forza Horizon 5.

There will also be a permanent new radio station, along with other content still to be announced.

On 25th February, Series 11 will add three new unannounced reward cars and two returning cars. On top of that, 15 cars from previous entries will return to the Autoshow alongside a new paid DLC pack.

There will also be a new permanent Drift Attack location at the docks, providing plenty of opportunities to drift around containers.   

Looking ahead, Playground Games announced an “overhaul” for Festival Playlists that will “address the FOMO with the cars” next year. After Series 11 drops, all new and previous playlist reward cars will be “permanently accessible,”  though it’s unclear how they can be accessed.

A second unannounced expansion will also be released in 2027.

4 hours into Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and I'm struggling to understand the hype. Does it get better?

0 Upvotes

About a week ago, I made a post asking whether I should play KCD1 before KCD2. I explained that I usually struggle to enjoy older games because of outdated graphics and gameplay.

I received around 200 comments, with roughly 90% of people strongly recommending it. Many even called it a masterpiece, so I decided to give it a chance and bought the game with all its DLCs.

But after 4 hours, I'm honestly not enjoying it at all.

The game feels extremely slow, the animations look much older than you'd expect from a 2018 release and the graphics are very old. The dialogue often feels artificial and so far the story hasn't grabbed me. I haven't found any particularly charismatic characters and I haven't managed to get attached to Henry either.

I'm not expecting Mass Effect, BG3 or The Witcher 3, but I was hoping for a compelling story and memorable characters.

Does the game get significantly better after the opening hours or is this pretty much what I should expect throughout the experience?

I'm curious because I really want to understand what so many people love about this game.
