I wouldn't say jealous or anxious, I'd say more bored with seeing 4 threads on the same sodding game! Someone wake me up when the circle jerk ends. 

I agree there doesn't need to be 4 threads for the same game. One game thread and one screenshot is plenty.

What about a thread for people who don't have the game but might want to buy the game but don't want people who are playing the game to contribute to the thread?

Anyhoo, does buying from other regions still work? Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate is "only" £60-ish from the Hong Kong store. Can I use my credit card or do I need to use store credit? Also, is digitalgamesprices the best comparison site, or are there others?
 


Buying from other regions still works yes.

Options that have worked for people here are
store credit (you can buy top ups direct from MS for some regions). I use that method.

Revolut card: load up a prepaid card with money. Use it on the overseas stores and get interbank currency exchange rates with no fees.

Interesting on the No Man's Sky stuff likely coming to XboxOne.  12 months I reckon.

 

Yeah it's the one PS4 game I care about. I mean, it's on PC too right? But I'd rather have it on a console, so if it comes to Xbox I'll be very happy.

Agreed about the No Man's Sky threads, 3 about one game seems a tad overkill!   I'll probably get NMS eventually but there's no way I'm paying 45/50 quid for a title that divisive.  I'm hoping it will be a CEX cheapy sooner rather than later.

 

Anyway, I'm, quite looking forward to blasting through Recore.  Getting a distinct Gunvalkyrie vibe from that game which is a very good thing (I even enjoyed Naglfar's Pit!).

 

EDIT - Wait.. there's 4 threads about NMS now? Wow.  I was just checking back on the Youtube videos of Gunvalkyrie and it is still a fine looking game (much like Panza Dragoon Orta).  What a shame that neither of those games have made it to xbox live yet!

Maybe I came on a bit strong, if I had a decent PC or a PS4, I'd be all over it, it's the 4 threads that annoys me. If it was any other game people would kick up a fuss and it'd be removed but because most of the forum is PS based and in love with it, it gets a free pass. Still, judging by stu's response that we have more than enough space, I take it there'll be no objections to me setting up multiple UNO threads, otherwise it'd be bias no?

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion got its own folder when that was released, just because there was so much to discuss. That was another non-linear game about discovery. Four threads is fine.

I don't have No Man's Sky. I have no interest in No Man's Sky. I genuinely don't care it has multiple threads. At the end of the day it's a big release and there are different parts to discuss outside of the main thread. We've done this numerous times before so what the hell is the issue?

Footage of Scalebound popped up on Sky news earlier for some reason (in work so the sound is muted).  I'd forgotten about Scalebound since seeing it covered at E3 so had a rummage around Youtube for footage to gorp at.

 

Wow that game is looking like goofy fun.  I'm the sort of idiot who fully appreciates the novelty of putting headphones on your character before engaging in combat (with a giant enemy crab) and I'm sure I'll be grinning like a goon throughout.

 

Is there a set release date?

The "correct number of threads" is however many the community supports. You can't put a precise figure it. If people don't want to discuss the game, PC stuff, starting locations, and ships independently, one or more those threads would slip into insignificance. That they're all being bumped means people want them. For some games, this process leads to a request for a dedicated folder.

Please do. The mods, tech team, and committee have been trying for years to get people to make more threads. Can you imagine searching the main NMS thread for ship screenshots? Of course, that's technically not possible, but you get my point: it's much easier to find something with extra metadata, in this case a specific thread title.

 

So, please, make as many threads about Uno as you wish. The community will either support it or won't.

 

This site has no system bias.

Also. I'm envious of no man's sky, I'd love it if it came out on the bone. 

Given I've not yet figured out how to work elite dangerous (or sit through the 10 hours of tutorials and health and safety briefings) I could do with something you don't need a degree in astrophysics to play.

That's partly why I like it - the space ships are child's play to navigate, and leave you to focus on the exploration / crafting loop.  I couldn't get through the Elite tutorials.
