i havent played it but i have to say its been amusing watching all these cyber punk glitch videos aha. glad i didnt bother with it if im being honest. Cheers UKDD

This game was way overhyped! More of a glorified single player call of duty.
It's like the developers never played legend of zelda.
For me, any new RPG needs to be a mixture of skyrim and gta at least, it's 2021 for God's sake.

a mix of skyrim and gta sounds perfect, we need a RPG like that

I've been playing on Stadia ( I have a potato PC ) and it was 95% stable since day 1 which is good. It was in a high frame rate setting by default which looked ugly AF but once found the setting and changed to quality over performance and it looks fantastic. I'd say it's a good game, but I don't think I'd call it a great game. It's very shallow, the open world is a lot more basic than even skyrim and not a patch on RDR2. The story is also not yours, its Jonny Silverhands which is a bit crap for a supposed RPG. Youngrippa did a good video about expected (or promised?) features and how almost all of them don't exist in the released version. People talk about the bugs sure but it has many more flaws than that. The linear story is fine, albeit about someone else. But you have to ask what the fuck they were doing for 6 years when they couldn't even get some basic systems functioning properly in that time. And I think Youngrippas other observation is correct - once they paid for Keanu the game took a different direction, the earlier iteration was honestly probably the better game. It's definitely worth a play, cruising around the city with jazz on radio and smoking a J is a sci-fi wonder. But the shallowness of the mechanics and open world definitely let it down. In time I hope they flesh it out more like what was spoken of in their 45 min gameplay videos from a while back, cos it just isn't that game right now. I'm near the end of my playthrough, starting to struggle to bring myself to bother and absolutely no incentive to go back and just dip in and "enjoy" the open world cos frankly its dead. So you play for the story and once you've played the story I don't know why you'd replay it, the life paths only open up 1 or 2 different dialogue options. If you want to see a nicely rendered cyberpunk/sci fi city and a fairly engaging story then you'll be satisfied. If you're looking for a deep open world experience with a good amount of replayability then I would say "watch out". 6.5 out of 10. But definitely a potential for higher score in the future - again - I'm not even factoring in any bugs - just what the game "is". And what it isn't...it's not one of my favourites, sadly. But it is in no way a bad game.

I've been looking into stadia and Nvidia geforceNOW recently. How good actually is stadia cus I have heard mixed reviews, I no longer have a proper PC on a laptop which obviosly can't run anything good on it. Just really wondering how the stadia runs, what are the graphics like, is there any problems with it and if its actually worth getting, cheers mate

I have Stadia and GeForce Now. The latter costs me £5 a month and the former - well - I started with the "Pro" version (for 4K, but as I say I have a potato PC so no 4K monitor or support etc) so scrapped it, so effectively I have Stadia for free and just buy the games I want (so far only two, RDR2 and Cyberpunk - though I plan to buy Far Cry 5 and Metro Exodus in the near future). Sure, I was laughing along with everyone else about Stadia before trying it, but honestly, it's pretty great. When it doesn't work it is only because it's 5pm and my ISP (post office, pretty crap) is under strain. At all other times of the day, it works flawlessly and I only get 1 to 2mb down if I'm lucky. It's fun to know I can also put Chrome browser on some other devices and play the games there too, like my old crappy laptop and smartphone! The choice for me was made cos I don't have much HDD space left and am not upgrading my PC yet, these factors pushed me towards Stadia and GeForce Now for the meantime. Also that no download is needed so I buy the game, press one more button and I'm playing. It's nice! GeForce Now is also good however I honestly think the performance on Stadia is that little bit better. I try RDR2 on Stadia at 3pm and it works fine, but another game on GeForce Now at that hour is a bit stuttery. I do also like GeForce Now, as it is linked with Steam. Deus Ex ran almost flawlessly, JP:Evolution also. Star Trek online is a hot mess however, no matter what time of day (even 3am in the morning) and it runs like crap. But overall very happy with GeForce Now as I am with Stadia. But like I say outside of the one-time purchase of games for Stadia, I'm not paying for it, so I don't have much to complain about. I am totally over owning hard copies of games - they are just "stuff", stuff that can be re-bought in the future if I must. Finally, speaking to other Stadia users (actual users, not people who are merely looking at it and commenting lol) they all sound a bit like me - happy with it. So you are right (and wise) to ask people who actually use it. I'm yet to find someone who uses it and ISN'T satisfied. They probably exist, but through Red Dead Online I've met a lot of people now and whenever the Stadia conversation comes up, it's generally praise. All the best!

If you subscribe to youtube, you can get a Stadia for free. Well not free; the Sub is £14.99 here.

Just be careful as if Stadia ever does shut down, you'll be left with nothing.

I'm on PC... However, I think I'll leave it. Too much hype nowadays.

Love this game !!!

Glad you responded becaus i was looking at getting the xbox series X with it but wasn't sure if it would be properlly broken like the xbox one, good to know its alright

The most disappointing game I think I’ve ever played. Been hyped for this game for years ever since announced basically 10 years ago. What a waste of time. So many performance issues and that’s before we even talk about whether the games actually any good. Personally I can’t believe the nonsense CDPR have put out, sent mine back for a full refund it was that bad.

at least you got your money back

Yes very true, never sent a game back but honestly never been so angry/disappointed with a release. Just a complete shambles. To be honest even without the performance issues (which are game breaking) it’s just a very linear game which is pretty dull to play with absolutely no world depth beyond what’s on the surface. Even the story’s lacking. It’s just the complete opposite of what anyone could’ve expected from the makers of such a great game as The Witcher 3.

I completely agree with you about the performance issues ruining Cyberpunk. But I was just curious as to what you thought made the world building and story the Witcher 3 good compared to Cyberpunks?

this comment is 100% spot on,i cant believe how little choice/interaction there is in the game,also the AI is terrible overall.im not saying no enjoyment can be had from the game but considering how anticpated it was falls short by some distance

its a shame i was really expecting it to be something really good, very disappointing

Tbh it runs perfectly for me on pc(gtx 1660ti on ultra), I've finished most of the storyline and almost all of the side missions and I've encountered only one bug when an npc was walking in the air. I'm only a bit disappointed because the story seems a bit lackluster, honestly I was hoping it be like rdr2 where missions and side quests just come out of the blue and make the whole thing feel a bit more organic but hey..

I've been playing on PC since release and I've been enjoying it a lot. Deep down its a fantastic game but is currently ruined by bugs, crashes and poor optimization. I've been fortunate that I haven't came across many issues on my pc as it's fairly powerful. I'd say only buy it if you have a powerful pc or a PS5/Xbox Series X. Don't even consider it on a base PS4 or xbox one.

looks like i'm gonna have to upgrade to next gen then

So long as you save often it’s fine I have a base PS4 and so far it’s done good glitches like made me immune to damage for a few missions or invisible to enemies lol if you want perfection then wait until fixed tbh there’s been more issues on the superior PS4s

Don’t forget to get that sword on the heist mission with Jackie. After the cutscene where you hide and the door is unlocked proceed to the upstairs exit and deal with the two guards on the roof, then you go to the helicopter thing and the second best sword in the game is waiting for you for free.

Best I've ever played. Honestly. I'm on a series x. Crashea from time to time, and there's some bugs. I'm confident it'll grow even more and hopefully the multiplayer is a success.

It’s terrible on ps4

Yeah that seems to be the overall consensus on it

I've been playing on a PS4 Slim, it's a f***ing awful experience lol

have you been refunded I heard they were refunding the ps4 purchases

Yeah I've applied, waiting on it still lol

good on sony for sorting it

Playstation removed it from store it's so broken lol - I think it's safe on new gen consoles though.

One of the most overhyped games was always going to disappoint people, thankfully I don't read into any fanfare and I rarely watch game trailers etc so in a years time when the GOTY edition is on sale for £7 I'm sure I'll love it! :D

I heard about that, probs best to wait for all the bugs to be sorted i guess

you gotta admit a broken dystopia is the perfect game for xmas 2020

and they have like 57 more years to finish it

haha it definitely is

Clubbed together with my pal and ordered some gold seal on the 10th of December for a christmas shmoky, still nothing has arrived 6th of Jan. First time ordering from anyone on here or the internet and may well be the last totally gutted.

Where are you based? EU?

I'm in the UK, Only had 1 response from TGT asking for order number on the 3rd after letting them know on the 30th.

Shit man, that is a very long time, especially since u in the UK.

hey, now Britain is out of the EU are you making any changes to EU packages? custom form etc.

First order arrived in 10 days. Second order sent 27 november and still nothing (24 december) South EU. I start thinking it will never arrive

Did you get your package mate? I'm also south EU, waiting since 7th Dec. Asked for tracking 3x from TGT and no reply yet, fair enough though it is Xmas/NY, and I can see they haven't read my messages yet, bar the first tracking request.

If it doesn't show it the post 1st week of Jan and/or I don't get a reply to my messages tomorrow (Monday), I think I'll have to dispute. Particularly considering Bitcoin has almost doubled in value since I paid TGT. Not something I want to do, but customer service is a necessity, had 6 orders with them so far, all good, but this one.. fingers crossed till tomorrows post delivery..

Hey mate! No it didn't arrive. I wrote to TGT if they can track the order, but they read and don't reply to my last 3 messages. I don't want to dispute, but it is a huge order and if TGT doesn't help, I will have to do it

Hey mate, finally got my TGT package, took 39 days ? happy I got it, but no help with tracking etc., from TGT. Hope you had some luck too!

Sorry to hear that man. My postie here usually shows up in a few hours from now. I'm hoping he will have something today, or by Friday latest. Still waiting for TGT tracking info as well. Local crap hash for me till then :( I'll keep you posted mate, no pun intended, maybe it's a UK/EU covid problem related to all those lorries previously stuck in UK + Xmas and all that too. Dec has always been a bad month for weed for me. Funny enough, both my regular guys in London called me up with New Years greetings, that was a bit of a wounder.

I’ve been getting parcels sent to Central Europe and it’s been taking over a month recently - it’s real pot luck (some have arrived within a week). Usually they seem to arrive together (despite a 2 week ordering difference). Covid, Brexit and everything else seems to have delayed parcels. Fingers crossed they turn up soon for you

Thanks mate! Appreciate the camaraderie! Kinda wish I was living in Italy these days. Can grow a few plants legally there, reckon a big grow cupboard and two massive photoperiod trees would be amazing. One day :)

Contact the seller 1st class shouldn’t take more then 1week

Haway man just dispute an get your money back bonny lad

I take it I should have read postage and delivery faq before paying $9.50 for UK signed next day post if all packages are being sent 1st class just now?
Rookie error or did I miss something lol ?

I think the OP just didn't phrase it optimally. I paid for special delivery a few days ago with them and it came as expected with that.

Same here. I paid 9.50 for NDD. Package sent 21st Dec, but hasn’t arrived yet. Fingers and toes crossed!

Seems like a lot of orders from TGT on special delivery are still outstanding and taking much longer than Royal Mails guaranteed delivery time. TGT will be able to make a claim with RM, but unfortunately it seems they have stopped communicating to their customers.

I ordered on the 23rd of December, just missed their cut off times, fair enough. Sent on the 28th apparently and also paid $15 for special delivery but our post had been delivered and nothing again today. Messaged them yesterday and no response. I’m just going to go straight to a dispute and let’s see what happens. Never had an issue with anyone else on here. If they sent it 1st class, without tracking, it’s not my problem. I paid for NDD.

It’s been 14 days, 2 days until I can dispute. How hard is it to reply to people’s messages?

Same situation for me in Europe; a parcel sent 21/12 not showing up and they answer to me they are busy....but not with info on tracking or maybe proposing an alternative solution
Tgt has always been the best and I understand this is special situation, but hope to get domething.
Stay safe biggaz

Law Abiding Citizen is my favorite film of all time. Great watch Cheers UKDD

I don’t mean to double dip but The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) perhaps the best movie I’ve ever seen. I’m 44 minutes in and it’s 104 minutes long.

What is it about?

Group of guys hijack a subway train full of passengers in New York City and demand money basically

Les Mis (movie about police in France, not the musical), Hereditary, Let Him Go, I Saw The Devil, Death to 2020, Borat 2.

The Conjuring, Tetsuo the Iron Man, The Evil Dead, Midsommar, Hereditary, Big Trouble in Little China, Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Gummo, Brokeback Mountain, Fury, Whiplash

The Big Lebowski, or anything by the Coen Bros.
Kubrick on a good day, Like 2001 or Dr Strangelove.
The Death of Stalin, if you like Armando Iannucci's dry wit.

Surf that sofa! :-)

Ive been cleaning out dvds lately and came across 2 old faves. Pulp Ficton and Dazed and Confused, great movies to have a splif with

For fun try Kung fu Hustle and/or shaolin soccer...about £3.00 on amazon or a search on youtube for copies with dodge sound. totally wild and original martial art goof movies.

haha will watch this when I'm baked

Peanut butter falcon. Great story telling and characters against amazing scenery. It's like a river road movie.

Amazing new tv series from italy, -Romulus! about warring clans, treachery & leading up to the founding of rome.
good effects and great acting:)

Its great to see a tv series that's based on probably one of the most important moments in world history(:

sounds good I like historical tv shows

What kind of shows are you into?

honestly mate I watch a bit of everything, i will watch documentaries, horror/thrillers, Crime, Comedy. I'm not a fussy guy haha

Shot in the dark on Netflix mate won’t be dissatisfied. It’s real aswell
Umbrella academy
Cobra Kai
Just to name a few brill shows that you must see

Cheers mate thanks for that

The keepers
The last czars
Evil genius
The ripper

And any david attenborough show.

Can't beat david attenborough haha

I love that man so much.

Tbh if it’s something recent you want I would go for tv series much better than movies nowadays that are just out for either a tax break or an attempt at just worldbuilding to more movies. Ready player one was the one movie I was hoping to be good and it was utter garbage.

The lesson of that movie is supposed to be that you don’t mess with an original artists creation (oasis) yet there’s the iron giant who originally never wanted to be a gun and his in this very movie slaughtering thousands indiscriminately lol wtf

I do a gree movies seemed to have gone downhill since my childhood, I think netflix is really pushing series to the top nowadays

Possessor directed by David Cronenberg's son is pretty a good recent movie and while on sci-fi try Upgrade.
Completely mental movie but one of the best I've seen recently.

Is it on any streaming services like netflix?

Upgrade is on Netflix and Possessor is on Amazon prime I think

cheers for that mate appreciate it

La Haine
The Night Comes for Us - Netflix
Oldboy (2003)
Ichi The Killer
Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
Raid
Raid 2
Until the Last Sword is Drawn
13 Assassins

Cheers for that man, plenty to choose from

I've seen this but I agree it is really good

Check out Castle Freak directed by Stuart Gordon in 1995

I enjoyed Arkansaw on Netflix, Vince Vaugn. Definitely worth a look

cheers man i will give them a look

Ava is pretty dam good mate :)

must be good if everyones saying it is, I will give it a watch later tonight

I ignored it for ages then after so many people telling me it’s epic I gave it a go and what a movie :)

Sounds like it won't disappoint

ava is a decent new one on Netflix

I've seen that advertised, looks good tbf

Mandy. Watch it and tell me it doesn't fuck with your head

I will let you know man, is it on any streaming platforms?

Would also take any suggestions for a good series too

loaded is a good series on Netflix about friends who become overnight millionaires

Everyones dream haha

Check out the movie "A prophet" . It's the best crime movie of the 21st century.

What is it about mate?

Young moroccan arrives in french jail and in time becomes the boss. It's an old crime story,but what makes "A prophet" special is the script and setting. The setting is the french prison system.The mobs are Corsican,French and muslim. The script is about as good as it gets. As I say,best crime movie of the 21,st century and it's NOT American!

Sounds really interesting, deffo going to give this a watch

This is cool. Evi Vine, Sabbath.

Not rock but stoner music none the less

Likewise

Adding more Elder to the list,

Their new album is dry, but this 18 minute kraut rock inspired jam from last year's Silver & Gold Sessions is a screaming banger.

Get your smoke on and enjoy biggas!

Yes man! Only a matter of time before a fellow Ozrics fan chimed in....been with them since tape days, their highs and lows, but Brandi's playing with them heralded a great return to form....esp. "Mooncalf"...and gorgeous to boot :)

Glad to see another here!

Early days eh? I was there at the Crypt in Deptford (still have my membership card) when they only had a couple of tapes :) My mate is a good friend of Ed, and still is, so I've been lucky enough to hang outa few times and share a spliff or several backstage.

Eds released a new album this year, which is well worth a listen - he's still got it!
If you also liked the ullulators, you should really check out what Gavin has been up to too - he has released some amazing stuff lately - check out bandcamp for his stuff.

Take care, fellow old person! :) hehe :)

Heady days they were, great craic! Will check that out.... Happy trails man....

Cant have psychedelic rock thread and have no Ozric Tentacles? I've righted that wrong! Hope some of you enjoy!

Lucky to see them few times. At a free (illegal) festy at Wycombe common, had several micro dots and thought I was watching floyd circa saucers era, wow, a very colourful memory.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nuclear fusion.

Check out the crazy microtonal fret spacing on the guitars!

the mars volta la via la vieques

At the drive are my fave ultra loud band, saw Mars Volta twice in Portsmouth, wow brutal gig.

I would love to have seen Mars Volta.. Seen At The Drive in a couple of times. Once at Reading festival a long time ago (think I saw Sparta there aswell), and caught them at Cochella around 2012. Still, loud, mental and awesome.

No idea how far back I'm commenting here. Just wanted to express my solidarity re: ATDI. The summit of early Emo, beyond which lay only death (and Mars Volta).

Cool album, I really need to listen to more Gong/planet gong and Steve Hillage in general.
