Gutted for Coventry! What a remarkable comeback in a quite epic game and then getting screwed by VAR with the last kick of the game. If I were a United fan, I don't think I would even be able to celebrate after that near-humiliation. More questions for Ten Hag and another capitulation. Meanwhile Nottingham Forest have made a stunning statement after their defeat to Everton. Absolutely mad daw of football!

All done, loved it.

Nice! Original was amazing and this looks more of the same

@RenFengge and I got Alpha codes!!!! Downloading to play on Tuesday!! I'm excited.

Well now, its also interesting to see that despite everything, COD still generates the most chat on this forum 🖤🤪🤣

Myself and @Luseth had a session last night, it was very cool : ) I think @Diddums has it installed now too, maybe we can have a few of us if anyone fancies joining? It was free on PS Plus a while back so most should have it!

I'll laugh at Chelsea anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣

OK, so you see where AWB foot ends which is at the end of the blue line, well if you find a pic of Hadji Wright, his foot was partly in the red line so he was off. The law for handball states that if he moves towards the ball which he didn't, then its a pen, he moved his arm away and had his arm tucked in so never a penalty. Yes Cov played well, but they were played off the park for 70 mins, they were literally non existent until then, played well for the rest of the game. They weren't robbed at all. It was just a questionable call which I would of said should go towards the striker. And as much as anthony is a dick, Hadji Wright is too, as shows the pic below, that's why Anthony did what he did 👍🤣

Yano something, I'm actually getting sick of it now, I couldn't care less anymore. Yes I felt for Cov, to have come back from 3-0 down and to have been so close and go out the way they did. I can't imagine the heartbreak. However, I have none stop seen posts on social media the last few days saying they have been cheated, blah blah blah, plastic utd fans this. First of all, if you actually look at the offside, where the blue line ends, is where AWB foot ends, then Hadji Wright's foot is slightly in the red line so therefore he is just off, however I still agree with Lee that advantage should go with the striker. But in the eyes of the law, he's off. 2nd of all, Coventry shouldn't of even got to extra time, the penalty that was awarded against AWB was absolutely shambolic, he was less than 2 yards away with his arm behind him and to his side, wtf was he meant to do, awful decision but nobody talks about that, if that was given against coventry there would be all out chaos. (Pic attached is 2 similar instances from this weekend which weren't given, yet nobody says a thing) 👀 Also, I'm absolutely sick of everyone labelling Utd "Plastic Fans", pretty sure I've seen about 10 people who I know who are Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea fans, all went down supporting Cov yet we are the plastics 🤣🤣🤣 On to the final 💪🤣

Just finished it tonight and have to say even though for much of the series I had no clue what was going on I enjoyed it overall. I thought it started well went off the rails in the middle a little but the series was rounded off nicely. Definitely made a nice change to see something different as I've watched some crap lately *Gray*. I will leave this here though, it's quite long but an interesting discussion, maybe not knowing much about the lore helped? Now I get some of the arguments against it but at the end of the day it's TV and tbh all TV suffers in a similar way imo.

I think it launches in early access on April 26th but I'm not sure what the ETA on the finished article is.

I got an invite but ignored it tbh 🙃

They've been tempering people's expectations, which is wise, I'm going to pick it up for sure as I believe it's going to be on GamePass 🤗

Looks fantastic from the videos I’ve watched so far!

Just seen the game is releasing but it'll be in early access. Developers only added this amendment to the store page a few days ago which is an exceptional and somewhat inexcusable oversight because it's a tad misleading. Looks like I'll put it on ice for a while but I'm sure it will still release in a very decent state.

Anyone who hasn't tried the first game should definitely check it out.

Played about 55 hours of this game and it is pretty good. Combat is really good, allthough clearing out villages can get a bit repetative. Similar to Nioh, but easier.

I didn't bother with MW3 this year and with COD games of late struggling to hold my interest even going into December, I ended up playing stacks of other games instead which were so much more beneficial to my time and enjoyment. Unless Black Ops 14 or whatever number we're at is a radical improvement in terms of quality and consumer ethics then I can't see me ever returning to the franchise. As predicted, Microsoft's acquisition has had absolutely no benefit whatsoever to the gamer just like with Bethesda and if anything, things are even worse than before. Such a shame because there was real hope after MW2019 but once again the franchise feels absolutely exhausted and way off where it should be morally and in quality.

Cheers 👍 Spam 🚨

That Reaper just sounds like he'd find a problem in waking up in the morning and checking that he'd won the lottery. Like you say Gaz, its a TV show and the way that Reaper and MauLer pick the absolute fine detail out to the n'th degree is mindblowing. I do agree generally speaking that there were moments where it felt slightly overly whacky but the arguments are basically saying it should follow the game but not follow the game when it needs to be more realistic. You can't take a Fallout world seriously and I got that vibe from the first parts of the first episode. Sometimes if it was set up incorrectly you can lose yourself in what feeling you are supposed to feel like. Feel like those two need a Frankie Says Relax t-shirt 🤣

It's all cool, just sit back and laugh at Cheatski 🫠

🎣 If we’re going by ‘the law’ AWB’s hand-ball is illegal. And the offside line was clearly drawn over his foot and not to his foot which would suggest Hadji’s toe is onside. Either way, VAR ruined one of the FA Cups most exciting games in recent history. Now I’m not one to talk about supporting a club for any reason, but I can feel for the fans who feel they were robbed of a place in the final (my grandma for example, who is a life long fan of CCFC). Either way the a team in Sky Blue is going to win it. As for Antony at the end… it’s laughable, he’s actually such a joke. Found Maupay’s comment funny about it. The better team lost.

Another RPG that I spotted in the past week, I don't think we have a thread for this but watching it, it looks very Game of thrones esque. Don't suppose anyone knows much about it?

I loved the first game though I never completed it. It's exactly my sort of game, couple this with the likes of the witcher and I am in my element. I know there was a lot of uproar around the views of the person who created the first game but you can't take anything away from the original game. The trailers for this look more of the same but much better quality, so more polished shall we say. I will have to get back and complete the first one before it's out!

New trailer dropped showing a few bits about the story in The Final Shape.

Its not really about catching anymore since they changed the Power and grind factor in the game. Power numbers are extremely similar now so theres usually only a tiny increase each season and from what I remember some had zero update to max cap on highest power numbers. The game introduced a progression system with a bunch of objectives which I believe is the main number shown when you walk around seeing randoms. All about just what you have completed, not about doing a million and one raids, dungeons, etc. This update for me is going back in to experience the world much moved on with a bunch of Quality of Life updates we badly needed earlier in the game, a good solid campaign story, and being able to just try and complete fun activities with lots of us here. Anything else is a bonus.

The more I look into the Coventry ‘offside’ goal the more it frustrates me. Forrest are at theirs ends with the Premier League and I’m not surprised, the level of inconsistency this year has been pants.

Which divisions are the layoffs from? If it was me, take a redundancy package, reapply for the thousands for roles they are inevitably putting out there to get GTA 6 over the line, and grab even more money from them. I jest a little bit in that, I know its not that simple and detracts away from the real issues somewhat. Blows my mind they positioned it as forced given GTA 6 will need a monumental effort to get it to release on time and then huge support once the live service element is switched on.

it looks like they are headed for Vegas, which was the best game, in my opinion. I'm excited for season 2.

Coventry fully deserved by the end. Mental as it was looking like one of the worst semi finals up until 70 minutes. Cov hadn't even had a shot. Then all carnage broke loose - the VAR we've talked online for a while now about it and I think for me its more now that VAR highlights are cruel the Offside rule is. Gaining an advantage my arse on that goal - and the line the morning after showed that pixels went over Wan Bissaka's foot. It just doesn't feel right. Separately, Forest just made a bad situation for them even worse with that tweet.

Developers seem like absolute twats sadly. There's been some solid feedback but they just don't want to listen and are really up content creators arses and not prospective buyers who are actually providing key feedback rather than just milking viewers. The fact passengers can't fire guns whilst in helicopters is absolutely fatal and will just see people camping landing and extraction zones only to be shot as soon as they exit. Things like this need to be understood and addressed logically rather than the devs throwing toys out of their pram. Shame because it does have a lot of impressive elements so it will be sad if they sour things with the community before the game is even out.

Latest on this game, and seems its coming along nicely.

Got a Toy Story vibe watching the trailer. Not sure if thats a good thing or not.

That doesnt say much though, as its pretty gloomy in here 😄

Yeah I'd love to hear your thoughts if you watch it, been wondering what it's like for non Fallout players 👍

Totally understandable Gary, I've definitely been playing less myself. I try do the events, weekly challenges and any new guns that drop. Some of the calling card ones as well, as they might have more obscure challenges or things I don't normally use.

Tbh since getting interstellar I found I've little to no reason to turn the game on, there maybe some interest in any fg Friday that might occur however it's not just cod where gaming is concerned at the moment which might be down to the fact the winter should be over.

Might find a reason to turn destiny on again just to take a look.🤷

The problem is that no matter how much money games publishers make, it's never enough. Plus we have one of those rare industries/hobbies where a sizeable section of the consumer base are more than happy to go to bat for these companies. Then again in IRL we have the water companies who don't maintain or improve infrastructure, rather siphon off our money to shareholders while telling us we need to pay more if we want to avoid hosepipe bans after one of the wettest winters on record...and we happily take it up the arse...so what do I know 🤣

Progress has been slow but the king of military sims have been working with the community and the new Arma Reforger is starting to look pretty good 🙂

Looking good 🙂
