The whole trilogy, tho ME3’s final battle – the fleet coming out of the relays to the confrontation of TIM. My first game was Fallen Order but ME showed me what games really are

They better keep it to IO provide the funding but should NOT Have more involvement

I’m confused didn’t Nathan Fillion play a lantern? Is this a different one or the same?

14 hrs in and having an incredible experience fora first play through of Black Flag. I have played Rogue which was good but this just takes the cake. The weather dynamics are so atmospheric especially the foggy conditions. Never thought I’d say this about Ubisoft.

That’s because BF is their golden goose. No way they will top what they had in early 2000s.

So they moved Theia into Earths orbit 🤔

I dont normally post anything political but this is one of those times. If we want to protect nature we protect all flora AND fauna. What Natural England’s doing is disturbing and goes against their own beliefs. If we remove one species, the whole ecosystem falls. plse sign & share c.org/cQqknQwRnm

This maybe my #N7 brain kicking in but why is there 0330 in the title?! Could this be a hint at a release date 03/30? this is the only time they’ve done this out of all the updates with gameplay and since this is the last gameplay snippet before 6th June. 🤔 Love to hear your thoughts #ExodusGame

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

HOLY HELL THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE!!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE!! A Warhorse style LOTR RPG and possible KCD 3?! I will be with Warhorse for the years to come. 🎉🎉🎉

Been playing #MixedTape for the past 3 hours and my god it’s a vibe!! Soundtrack is phenomenal, art is chefs kiss and it really reminds me of the early 90s classics the energy is insane definitely recommend

Saaame loved the grittiness of the story with no force elements that were super overdone so it get the ground roots of the rebellion was amazing to see. Gareth Edwards got my attention and have loved all his projects since then, until Jurassic World as I haven’t seen that yet

May the 4th be with you haha. Might either play Jedi games tonight or continue with SW knock-off ME 🤔

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

What happened is the console sales are down waaay bad so having exclusives may get people to buy and creates a healthy competition between PlayStation and Nintendo.

So for me having Matthew McConahey gave me a huuuge link between the stories around the realistic time travel

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Game isn’t coming out till early/second half ‘27. Looks like more actual gameplay this summer. I for one am already immersed in world building, but with cinematics, short stories on the site, the TTRPG handbook and the Peter F Hamilton’s Archimedes Engine. But Interstellar is my all time fav Sci-Fi

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

C – Inquisition had the best stakes in the franchise, and the plot reveals (Flemithal and Solas) were insane. The personal companion quests made me relate to almost all of them.

Oh no wtf?! Really hope he gets back on his feet but if it is true doesn’t look good. Coming from someone who adores KCD 😬

Just finished ME 3 LE and having finished House of the Dragon S1 so needed a high fantasy itch. After seeing it on Xbox I looked up DAO and loved it

She is by far the most badass character. I love Mark but Jane Shepherd with Jennifer Hale’s voice are my canon play thoughts

Just re read it and A but also D 😂

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

1000% do it! Saw it last week and it’s absolutely incredible!! The visuals are insane and Ryan Gosling? Need I say more?!

Just started the hundredth play through of ME last night so… call it recency bias but go for the ME temptation

Very ME audio. Gunna be interesting

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

exclusive, driving the much needed PS, Nintendo / Xbox competition otherwise I’m not sure they will succeed until the next gen (whenever the hardware shortage calms down a bit). As we all see with leadership changes with these gaming companies it’ll take months if not years to know how it goes

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

I am currently on the fence, tho slightly leaning to the side of pessimism because her only expertise is in AI and none of her other experience is in games. That being said Matt Booty will need to pull his finger out to steady the ship, green light more games, maybe a few of them will end up being

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

As the new film is coming out in November – and if Suzanne Collins doesn’t release another book this year it would probably at least Jan ‘27 when he gets going. If they want to wait until then sure

120

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

It’s now a waiting game that’ll take many months or years but I’m very pessimistic about Asha’s previous experience being AI among other NON-gaming companies

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Looking forward to seeing more from this seems like a very cute project you’re doing?

Top Cat gets it from me. The humour is so of the time it’s kind of outrageous but at the same time a great show. youtu.be/6fvhLrBrPQI?...

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been playing #hogwartslegacy on Game Pass and I am loving it so far. Controversy around it aside the gameplay, environments, side content, characters are all incredibly crafted. I can feel when spells hit when in combat. The devs Avalanche Studios cooked with this.

Ben Swallow @benswallow5.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Honestly I’m very apathetic with the new leadership being an AI leader not a gaming leader. If there is ANY AI pushed down my throat with the new management at Xbox I am done with it entirely. Phil was the closest we got to a passionate person at the helm for gaming. Sucks to see
