Usual affair Gameplay is all that matters so have to wait for that.

meanwhile i think that the hunter solar rework feels kinda underwhelming, especially the fragments, i can't find any good synergy/combo while with void you have good choices

I think there is a lot of pressure on both companies to succeed. I'm sure it's in everyone's interest to make it good and bring in those huge profits they are expecting. Hopefully for all our sakes it's an absolute belter of a game. It needs to be on the same level as MW2/BO2 imo.

It's still an Activision-branded title - Microsoft just own the company. I don't think they'd want their name anywhere near titles like Diablo Immortal 🤣

Last night I decided to research the microtransaction framework in more detail and within the first 5 minutes I already had a monumental migraine - you literally need a degree just to be able to understand it. The really crafty thing about it is that they have you by the balls the whole way - you can spend £250 and then will need to keep spending to this tune to make any continuous progress. Game is also now the 3rd worst rated of all time on Meta sitting side by side with Blizzard's Warcraft Reforge.

I sadly think this is the run up to the death of the battlefield franchise and it's going to be mostly down to EA. There were some poor design choices in 2042 but the bulk of the issues stem from EA trying to turn battlefield into something akin to COD (which they have tried many times) in order to get their fifa of shooters. The season releases at this point are likely what you say James, if they don't then there is grounds for those paying for higher tiers to take them to court. I continue to play BFV (not necassarily their strongest release) but it's still night and day with this latest game. For me there is also the principle now, the price was higher for this game and the standard was so much lower on launch that I'm not sure I will return to it at all even if they put things right at this stage.

People lrioritise the funniest of things. If you think their shirt is expensive look at the people that buy one and a season ticket. £30 is about right for a shirt. That's actually the same price as the Forever Gaming football shirts 👀😅

I was going through older posts and I came across this. And thought, you know what, jumping was indeed a simple but major contribution to the game that made FromSoftware casuals like me have a fighting chance with the game. It really adds so much. This video should be proof (shamelessly sharing my Malenia boss fight clip here) POTENTIAL SPOILER though for people who do not want to see Malenia or some minor dialogue from her. It's such an awesome way to close the gap then follow it up with 2-3 hits. Plus if you're locked on to the enemy and the enemy is attacking, there's a tendency for the camera to spin, you're still locked on and you would most likely hit, but the enemy will miss since the camera/view has already spun. Anyway, I love this game a lot. It's my first proper Souls game and granted I am overleveled at this point (165 IIRC?) and I'm using an OP summon, I still enjoyed it immensely and thought it was a challenge 😄

Saw The Accountant yesterday on Netflix after work. Rewatched it, more like. Really like it. I hate Ben Affleck for backing away from the Batman movie projects, I thought he was good in the role but outside of that he seems pretty good in these oddball roles. The last time I really admired his work was as far back as Good Will Hunting. Highly recommending The Accountant if you want something easy to watch (I mean, no Christopher Nolan mental feats like Interstellar or Tenet hehe), it's pretty enjoyable.

Ultimately, It always seems that when this game is in a good spot, Bungie decides to fuck it all up by making unnecessary changes. Now, if they're just gonna set power levels for certain things, why have a power level at all? Yo never truly feel powerful in D2. It sure as hell isn't like D1 when you could go back to early areas and roll over stuff.

I have agree, all I seen was milky over the top cinematics and another Metallica song pumping it up in the background. There was nothing I could take from it. It's the prehype before the hype. Gameplay is needed for sure!

Microsoft have been awfully hands-off so far - personally IMO I don't think they will make a presence on the Activision Blizzard brand until the lawsuit drama is concluded and CEO Bobby Kotick is ousted. They've already cancelled COD for next year so I'm guessing they will allow for all their existing projects to publish, let everything blow over and then get a foothold in the company. I wouldn't be surprised if they re-branded it either just to bury the negative image that has plagued them in the last decade.

However much this is true are we sure they even know how to make a good game afterall they actually think they did a good job with the first one in2019. Making a good call of duty should be the easiest thing ever especially as they have all the info/assets they could ever need.

Oh, i know they won't want that one 🤣 I just think they will at least be reviewing upcoming releases at a high level so if anything they don't want to be associated with, they will force it to be reworked. I wouldn't be surprised if you see the live date get pushed back because of it actually. Its very much more like Microsoft than Activision to do something like that to 'get it right first time'.

Tell that to Solar Titans right now 😅 Literally indestructible. I'm getting to the point where I would really like a UI refresh of the entire map and activities. I've always loved how it looks, picking all the different places we can go....however, there should be a way to list the Pinnacles and Activities in a better listed format - mainly because its hard to even remember that we have even more choice than we realise. This is something that would help when explaining to people about coming back and/or trying it out for the first time. The story though continues to excel - this alone shows that if they could find a way of bring back all the missions across each campaign, people would play them. I don't think there was much wrong with story missions with varying difficulty levels. Thats what the last Campaign for Witch Queen proved too.

Taken down already. You've gotta be an idiot to try and leak anything like that as Activi$ion don't mess around.

Mini leak from a trailer Full reveal later

Not bad quite a varied mix of indy, punk rock, older and newer things of different genres. Didn't realise Tasha Sultan had official tracks I remember watching some of her early stuff on YT. A random mix of Chili peppers from at least 3 albums. Overall a pretty decent mix of tunes Tom my man. 👍

This was actually my wife's suggestion, but buy a plain T and get some Iron On Transfers. £6.87 for 3 Crests and do it yourself. You have a choice "I Love Spurs" etc, might look pretty bad ass and more personalised. 😁 Tottenham Hotspur Unisex's 3 Crest Magnet Set Bundle, Blue/White, One Size fits All : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Tottenham Hotspur Unisex's 3 Crest Magnet Set Bundle, Blue/White, One Size fits All...

That's the bit that rubs me up the wrong way the fact that they are so cheap to produce. 😔

Both sound terrible, a ridiculous amount of money or playtime. I mean 10 years is no joke, either is 110k 😕

$110,000 needed to make out a character. (or 10 years of playing time)

I agree with the recommendations for God of War, it's an incredible game. It's one of the last PS4 games I've played a few years ago before I left the platform for the Switch and Series X. The valkyrie fights are intense; you will die a lot but the challenges are fair and are always rewarding. Loved platinum-ing the game so much.

Thanks a lot! Sorry my bad I didn't look properly first. I've since beaten this game and acquired all achievements. I read somewhere if you keep the save file, it should load a special item on Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. Guess I'll play that on the Xbox too then! 😄

And Radahn is dead! I think that was the most fun I've had with a boss battle so far in this game. Great encounter!

Managed to get to the cinema the weekend for the first time since having children ^_^ So a few years, and got to see Top Gun 🙂 It's a brilliant film and I would argue as good (maybe better) than the original, a little less romance and a bit more flying of planes, added tense moments to them and some of the action scenes were brilliant 🙂 Would definately recommend watching at the cinema rather than at home as well, it really need's a good sound system and big screen I think 🙂

I only wrote that reply to wind you up 😘

Doesn't need much of an introduction but.. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Love Tash Sultana, was supposed to see her live but f*cking covid stopped that
