I get the feeling XCOM 2 is never going to be fixed. It's still has as many annoying delays in loading and between moves as it did day one. Zip mode doesn't help, it just speeds up the animation.

oh really? damn. i haven't bought it yet. what are your specs? none of the patches did anything?

Intel 6600k, Nvidia 970, Samsung 950 Pro, 16gb DDR4, Windows 10 Pro. Unless there is an odd comparability with one of my parts hardware is not the issue.

Ah, the Lucasarts point and click adventures were my favourites! Also recommend picking these up if you haven't tried them and if they are a decent price:

Secret of Monkey Island series
Full Throttle
Sam & Max
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Funny you should mention those hahah. Classics. Have the first 2 Monkey Island games Special Edition, work great. Couldn't get my cdrom of Curse to work as it was scratched My cdrom of Full Throttle still works on Windows 8 so I'm set there heh. Sam and Max is always one of my favourites, Hit The Road still works too, and the new ones by TellTale were great. Indy games are fairly cheap too, gotta pick them up

Apparently this is only getting an asia release because some US prudes dont like it (typical, you can rip someones spine out or have completely topless girls in GTA as long as you kill them and steal their car, but girls playing volleyball is apparently offensive ) so I am wondering before I run out and buy a PS4 if games from asia will play on an Australian console. Does anyone know?

Yes it will, all PS4 games are region free. Just cannot buy DLC unless it's from the Asian PS Store.

Cheers for that mate

(Given the reviews of the game, I may hold off a while yet though until PS4's drop that bit more in price)

Spec rumours of the ps4.5 or codename neo

Trev, I loved the first DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball, still a great sports game. The second one was ruined by minigames and other BS between the volleyball matches, I just want to play Volleyball.

This new one tho seems to have little to do with Volleyball and more to do with just being creepy. Having the girls including Marie Rose who looks like a tween and not an adult do striptease really makes me think the target audience for this game is perverts and not guys that like a sports game with a little eye candy. Also apparently the amount of new content compared to recycled content is disappointing for a full priced game.

I was going to order it from Play Asia but the actual criticism of it and not the sensationalist criticism of it really put me off. If they made a pure Volleyball game with the DOA girls I'd be all over it, but this isn't it.

There's an FCC listing for a new piece of hardware from an applicant that happens to be using the Xbox teams FCC ID number and it's under NDA at the FCC till Microsoft's press briefing at E3. I bet new consoles coming from both companies this Christmas. I am disappointed to see Sony is using the AMD Jaguar architecture again instead of AMD's new Zen architecture that's going to be out by the end of the year. I guess I should go to EB Games and preorder tomorrow. With the current consoles that they released 3 years ago EB Games had them in the computer months before E3.
