    I’m yet to see anything that shows HD Rumble is worth it... or the IR Pointer for that matter (specifically on Switch, on the Wii it was amazing).

    You mean it wasn't worth all the research and development that went into it just to eat virtual sandwiches?

    I know @RedShell covers it perfectly in the OP, but until Golf Story, I'd only really noticed it in really specific examples in games (collecting coins in MK8, rolling through pipes in Mario + Rabbids) - but Golf Story's implementation is the first time I've thought "Ok, this is definitely a big step in rumble!"

    The golf swing on the title screen is a great example, but my favourite use of HD rumble on the Switch so far is how well it adds to the dialogue in Golf Story - it's used to great effect to convey emotion and tone of voice for each character. It really does add a lot to how Golf Story tells it's story.

    Also, the noise it makes when you hit a ball off the screen is really cool:

    For those who've completed Golf Story, I was wondering how far into the game I am. Currently at the quest to gain membership to the posh golf club.

    You're still 3 more courses away from the end.

     

    I finished it a couple of days ago 100% (or at least filled out the 'Stats' card) in about 15.5 hrs. Such a great, charming and even hilarious at times game!

    I've been listening to A Moon Shaped Pool a hell of a lot since Sunday and I love it. I was a bit apprehensive during the build up to it, especially after the good-but-not-great King of Limbs, but it's absolutely a return to form.

     

    Rankings? Today at least, I'd go with:

     

    Kid A > OK Computer > A Moon Shaped Pool > In Rainbows > Amnesiac > Hail to the Thief > The Bends > The King of Limbs > Pablo Honey

    Those pics, @ShavenWolf...Hnnnnnnnggg.

     

    Where are you bitches pre-ordering this from? This has shot up to the top of my list. I take it that there will be a big following of people from here getting this game?

     

    I preordered on Amazon months ago - not knowing just how freakin awesome this would be!! And you get access to the Beta version if you pre order from there - I got my Beta code email a couple of days ago. According to the Destiny website, you also get access if you pre order from Game and Gamestop too.

    Oh man, this game....

     

    sogood.

     

    I've been playing the shit out of this over the weekend, and here's a few pictures from my travels:

     

    Gazing out over the horizon (seriously love the art style in this game):

    I found the area from the E3 2013 demo!

    I took this photo tonight, chilling out and looking at the view before the Alpha is shut down:

    And as I was looking out, more people came to join me!

    I bought a sweet new ship too:

    I was playing the game via Remote Play last night, and it works smashingly.

    And this isn't my picture, but the control scheme on Vita works really well:

    Rather than continue on with the discussion in the NE Meet thread, it could be an interesting topic - if people in cities can mentions things about their particular area, that would be great.

     

    I live in a small town called Hyde. We strangely have a large amount of transport (6 train stations and a major bus station).

     

    As @The Peeps pointed out, Sam Tyler from Life on Mars came from there.

     

    Hyde was also where Harold Shipman murdered over 250 people.

     

    No way, I'm also from Hyde!

     

    You forgot that the Moors Murderers lived in Hattersley, which is just down the road from Hyde.

     

    And those policewomen who were killed last year.

     

    But... Hyde FC are ok!

     

    I live in Leeds now though, which is known for, err.... Chris Moyles?
