Try being on the other end, I'm having to sort out so much shit for so many people. I wouldn't mind if the bits of the legislation involved actually made sense, but it's more pointless crap, like the fucking cookie warnings before, put in place by people that don't understand what they're doing.

GDPR on our side has been pretty easy, it just means if you don't follow it on every call its a sackable offence. You get one chance, coaching, then if it happens again cya.

Christ I hadn't even heard of it until today.

I asked a dumb question here because I didn't think about it first. Nobody had replied, so now it's gone.

Isn't there an issue with GDPR in Secondary to do with children refusing to allow parents x access to their information or something? I can't remember the specifics.

GDPR is a complete clusterfuck. Almost nobody will be fully compliant in time and it's unbelievably hard to manage.

Some solid 8 out of 10 reviews coming in.

So Metro gave it a 6 (or 60 or whatever). Eurogamer have it neither a Recommended nor an Avoid so I assume it’s the average middle. However, both called it Cage’s best so far.

Think I’ll pick it up a few years down the line on the mega cheap then.

Aye, will grab for a fiver in a few years.

One day is worth five chalices?

What's a five day game?

Bob is spending £100 on this game confirmed

Hope you enjoy rape

Although to clarify I didn't realise it was out today so I'm not in day one after all.

No one enjoys rape Reg.

Just completed this and I'm surprised to say I thoroughly enjoyed. Was only ever going to play it once it had hit the £20 mark but just started game sharing with a friend who pre-ordered it. Of the Cage titles, it's my favourite by a distance. The characters are surprisingly well fleshed out and the relationships between them develop in believable and a highly emotive way throughout the game, so that the threat of losing someone is tangible. There's a fair bit of QTE going on, but the windows for responding were fairly generous, even at the harder setting. There's a few identikit characters going on within, but I thought they were forgivable in the wider context. 

Without giving anything away, there were points where the situation, peril and general tone reminded me of The Handmaid's Tale. At it's core it's a game that looks at the depth of humanity an android can have. Whilst a few of the options I picked actually gave me wildly differing outcomes, this was a rarity and I found that the plot paths were fairly true to my intentions. The bog-standard in-game books you can read are well worth devoting time to, as they do develop your understanding of the game world in interesting ways. Yet, I'm still not sure that Cage can write a decent female role and there's a few times where you're reminded of previous accusations of misogynism. The in-game soundtrack was really decent as well and was well suited to the events its was supporting. 

Your decisions feel weighty, the plot develops in engaging ways (despite the odd predictable turn) and there 's very little filler within. I guess I spent around 15 hours or so completing the game. I'm normally not one for playing through SP games again, but I'm considering spending more time to find out how all the other plot paths differed (of which there are a great deal). 

I'm sure it will divide audiences; the negative responses it's had seem to revolve around it not going deep enough into the struggle for historical civil rights and contemporary issues. I just think within the confines of the game it's an enjoyable piece of science-fi entertainment with some moral issues within.  It's a fairly secure 8/10 for me.

I'm also quite happy that this sounds good as I'm looking for an interactive-movie game to play with the lady, who's a non-games-person but seems genuinely interested in the medium.
