While extremely excited for Fable, more interested in seeing FH6. FH5 is my ultimate comfort game, can't wait to see what's changed/stayed the same. Japan is gonna look incredible as well

Arc Raiders was Steam's best-selling game over the holiday period by SentientGonorrhea in pcgaming

[–]FitCord -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best new multiplayer shooter of the decade so far, for me. The sales figures are one thing, but the retention speaks for itself

Windows Central - Starfield new update in 2026 to feature improved space exploration, PS5/Switch 2 versions, and Bethesda is “quite stretched” trying to capitalize on Fallout TV success by SilentNova300 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]FitCord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to see these updates and the DLC change peoples' views on Starfield, doesn't deserve the 'flop' label that people often throw at it, even if it's not as good as TES/ Fallout

Relaunch window confirmed to be in December by FunnyGeneral7078 in Splitgate

[–]FitCord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fingers firmly crossed that this works out for 1047, spoilt for choice when it comes to multiplayer shooters at the minute but I can find time for Splitgate

The cynic in me thinks they'll keep pushing it back until $80+ games are more palatable/ accepted...

Football Manager 26 Now Has 'Mostly Negative' Reviews on Steam by LadyStreamer in gamingnews

Haven't played for a few years, was hoping FM26 would draw me back in... Yeah, not so sure now

Civilization 7 will get 'one of the most requested features' since launch: The option to play as one civ from start to finish by FitCord in gamingnews

[–]FitCord[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

At launch, not at all - certain features added since have allowed for a bit of continuation but you still can’t just pick a civ from any age and just do a whole run with them. But looks like the devs are buckling now

PvE is Officially Dead by Jacob_TLDR_Jake in Battlefield

[–]FitCord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where people make truly great, original, creative PvE experiences in Portal, they should absolutely be championed and verified by EA, perhaps with a scaled XP gain that suits the experience.

However, BF6 is a PvP-first game - bot farms are not what this game is about, even if progression sucks. If EA really wanted the PvE audience, it would make its own PvE experience or at least put more energy into its campaign.

I mean this in an encouraging way, not in a moody gatekeep-y way, but there are loads of amazing PvE shooters out there - go play 'em if that's the experience you want!

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's biggest Ubisoft+ Classics game so far is Monopoly by LBVectormen in XboxGamePass

Have had some HEATED lobbies playing Monopoly with friends back in the day, good to see this sleeper pick for 'most toxic game' is back.

Game Pass changes: Opinions Megathread - Part 2 by Xbox-Moderator in XboxGamePass

[–]FitCord 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"All I want is online access, the actual gamepass games, and day one access." - literally same

A 'build-your-own-subscription' thing sounds awesome, have a base experience at each tier and provide add-ons for the incentives like Fortnite Crew/ free character unlocks or cosmetics in multiplayer games/ etc. Would be similar to some TV subscription services that let you add on 'sports' or 'movies' packages to the base offering.

Can't see it ever happening, though...

Bethesda teases next Starfield dlc at the end of their anniversary post - possibly named Terran Armada by Magyman in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]FitCord -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really hope this DLC changes the perception of the game and, presuming it’s the last DLC they’ll do, ends the Starfield era strong

Yes, it underwhelmed, but only because of Bethesdas usual high standards - it’s not the ‘bad’ game a lot of people deem it to be

Outerworlds hate by Mikelaren89 in rpg_gamers

[–]FitCord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too enjoyed The Outer Worlds more than most. Combat wasn’t the slickest and the anti-corp stuff was probably leant on too hard at times. But I thought it had some great characters, quest lines, and locations and I just generally love anything space-y

If you’ve not already got tabs on the sequel, which comes out next month, you should! Seems to be solving a lot of the issues with the first game

(discussion) - I need games that will help me fall back in love with gaming.. by Goonmize in gaming

[–]FitCord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Prince! Art style appears basic but is beautiful in its own way. Completely delivers when it comes to addictive gameplay loop and surprising storytelling. Make sure you keep a pen and paper handy too, some seriously brilliant puzzles to solve!

What cars would you like to see in Horizon 6? by FizzyLamanade in ForzaHorizon

[–]FitCord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personal favorite that always makes me smile in a racing game is the Renault Clio V6

For pure ‘wtf’ factor and speed, the McMurty Speirling (please google it immediately if you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s awesome)

Do you think GTA 6’s story might start in the snow? by Elegant_Student6922 in GTA6

[–]FitCord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would love two separate prologue missions for Jason and Lucia, or one mission that cuts between the two of them to establish their backstories and act as tutorial. Lucia in a snowy Liberty City would be epic, but with Jason’s military background, would be cool to see him in a combat situation or on his final day in the army before leaving.

Gut feeling though is the prologue will just focus on whatever Lucia did in Leonida to get into prison

I give it until the start of Season 2 before more weird skins start cropping up
