Congratulations to Man City on winning their first ever trophy. Could be the first of many. On another note, nice to see De Gea at his best and Jordan Pickford also doing his best not to want to remain England number 1!

New shooter due for release this summer from Riot Games. Looks like they've copied the usual suspects and chucked it into one mediocre game

Just caught this on Twitter! Holy balls! Make sure you download it and let everyone know what you think here please!

This damn thing had better be persistent....after a LOT of aggro I’ve managed to get space armour, assault rifle, sniper rifle, med pens, oxy pens, ammo and still have 15k+ left over. Couldn’t locate any ‘nades but that may be a good thing with my hand/eye co-ordination! Right, when are we all teaming up in one ship then or are you all still absorbed with The Hunt (no, I don’t fancy that game in the slightest)

Looks like they have free walk as well as teleport

Played through the demo and was really impressed with the visuals and characters. They have done a great job with the cast and writing. Gameplay was ok but nothing special - practically the same combat as FF15 with more linear environments. I would've preferred an updated turn-based battle system instead. Framerate also feels ghastly. Not sure if I'll get this anytime soon especially with the other big games out in this period but I think it's about as good as it could be.

General opinion from me. Riot does esports well and they have a clear goal this is esport focused. With that said they're targeting CSGO, OW and R6. Once you add overwatch abilities to CSGO you lose the mechanical skill that comes with CSGO. In my opinion this is going to be a very grey area for awhile until we see which direction it is. I trust them to overtake Overwatch, but CSGO and R6 will not be affected. It is kind of wild some character abilities are direct copies of operators and heroes from OW and R6. Way to early to tell.

Thanks to having some of the most amazing friends in the world, I now own this on PC. Let me first state that I had zero interest in this game. I judge games a lot by the folks who play them, and Rachel, Phil, @Nutcuttlit, @J&B and a few others all have one thing in common: survival games. These games aren't my bag, I need an end, an objective, something to achieve. I thought that this was going to be just another survival game with a bit of a twist. I couldn't have been more wrong. First off, with everything maxed out at 3440x1440, I never dip below 70fps. For a game which is this stunning, that's seriously impressive, but then let's not forget that this is the studio behind "but can it run Crysis". I did the tutorial mission and killed the spider, but not once I'd thoroughly shat myself. Holy shit, what a mindfuck. I then hopped in a few games with @phil bottle and @tronic44 and the tension in this game is like nothing I've ever experienced before. The immersion and atmosphere is on a whole different level. The monsters are quite possibly the most fucked up things I've seen in a game since STALKER. The sound design in this game is also ridiculously good. The amount of times we were just walking around only to shit ourselves because of some fucking birds is ridiculous. We lost every match I was in but this game is very different to anything I'm used to so it's going to take a bit of practice. It's a bit Battle Royale, a bit Escape from Tarkov and even a bit of Gambit from Destiny. The ideas and concept behind the game are superb. I've not yet mastered the whole hunter customization thing, will need to have a go at that tonight maybe. Oh and at one point Phil and I were approaching a building when I saw an immolator walking around on a roof. I remarked to Phil about how awesome it looks, Phil says "yeah they can also run at you like motherfuckers" and at that literal exact moment I turn around to see one of these cunts bearing down on me at a billion miles an hour only to explode in my face. That moment will forever be etched in my memory and is hopefully a sign of things to come. TL;DR, graphics are superb, sound is superb, gameplay is superb, I think this could be a good one for a while.

You telling us your head is worth 20k? Am I reading this right?

Too little too late for me. They had their chance to dominate the market for years but they are a pathetic excuse of a development team. I have like 400 wins in this game and once I moved to Blackout, I cant stomach 5 minutes of PUBG anymore. I dealt with a full year of getting crashed out sometimes 4 or 5 times in a single game. Its just sad really. Game had so much going for it but in my opinion, this was the biggest blown opportunity in the history of gaming. Never going back its permanently deleted
