Hi everyone Writing myself into an intro for people and the site, as I've been slack and not done it the last couple of months I've been around so what should I say................? Gaming Stuff My first gaming computer was a Commodore 64, so I'm old, I'll let you work out how much 🙂! Moved to NES and Super NES over time and then hit the PS route from PS2 onwards where I've stuck on PS since up to the currentl PS5, who knows what the PS6 will be (no controller as it'll be mentally installed?) Played too much over the years to list but will say that the Fallout titles from PS3 onwards where up there as my one of my favourites Fallout New Vegas in particular. Also a big fan of the Bioshock games For the last few years I have been a big Destiny fan and that's where my gaming focus and time has been since Taken King was released. I joined and it's been v good (except the shift from the best version of D1 to the new D2 which was dreadful initilly 😞 ) Joined clans pretty early on in D1 which was great and moved around a few before finding and joining Helheim clan and working my way through to being taken into the really good Valhalla clan Met Teenwolf and Zaxar there and played plenty with them for a couple of yrs and followng Valhalla effectively collapsing unfortunately I left and joined up here based on what Teen said about this place and people............positive I promsie 🙂 Non Gaming Stuff I'm based in the UK in Cheltenham, except for the mental Horse Racing week, I get the hell out! 🙂 Have to work (booo) but have worked in Project Delivery for digital deliveries for many years which has been a good area, I've enjoyed Ouside of gaming, I have a passion and involvement in tennis, country walks, good driving in the interestng areas (did NC500 a couple of years ago) and loved it Pubs and restauants with friends That's it I think, good to finally get it done and intro myself online Any questions, please shout All the best Bubblybrooko

After telling @Grebothnot to pre-order COD I've pre-oredered it myself. Digitally as well 🤷‍♂️ Am I a hypocrite? Absolutely. I'll happily tell somebody not to do something that I'll then do myself. Am I stupid? Maybe. After buying Blops Cold War, regretting my decision, and then saying I wouldn't do it again. I have, in fact, done it again. Just like Britney did. So I'm really REALLY hoping this game won't be shit. If nothing else the campaign will most likely be excellent. And I may get past level 30 in MP this time. Maybe.

😂😂😂😂

I've done the game on a N64 emulator and the XBLA leaked version and it's good to revisit but I'd never put more than a few hours into it. Definitely has not aged well in places although it's still fun and a big challenge to complete on 00 Agent especially if you're going for the cheats.

Not only can I not agree with sbmm in control, but now bungie double down on stupidity with quitter penalties in control 🤡 True vanguard also had a way longer video saying basically the same.

That's cool, literally scoring the game for free. Yeah I didn't think you were a cosmetics kinda guy. I refuse to waste money on that stuff. I grind everything I can for free, I'm that tight I bought the battlepass for season 1 MW19. I completed every season in MW19 think there was 5 or 6. If you finish a season you can afford to buy the next. I continued this all the way throughout Cold War and Vanguard and finished every season. So in retrospective I spent about 7 or 8 quid initially and 3 years later I'm still reaping the benefits. 😎

Welcome Bubbly, there's a fair few who play Density here so you're in good company. Ah, the C64, Impossible Mission, Way of the Exploding Fists, Pitstop 2, Spy v Spy and a million more great games. Cheap as well, 1.99 for Kicksart 2, what a bargain 🤗 Hope you enjoy meeting all the FG miscreants 😉

None of that shit. I got a £66 tax rebate so thought I'd buy this with it. I rarely buy games nowadays. I don't give a single shit about cosmetics. Literally a complete waste of money IMO.

Am I the only one here quite disappointed on the basis it is just looking like a Port in 4k? I'm totally with @J4MES OX4D here that outside the nostalgia of playing it a few hours, I can't ever see the appeal in it at all. If you wanted that feeling, then I understand playing it on an original N64. It looks like it hasn't aged well and the 4k sharpness of the graphics makes me feel slightly on edge if I tried to play it too. If it was just a port, this is all it needed to be for about £2.50. I'm sure many people asking for its return were hoping for much more like a Remastered version? I'm glad I never had the hype of this game at the time as I don't feel sad about the release of this.

@techno I also crushed S5 the past 2-3 days. This was one of the better seasons IMO because it got away from all the teeny bopper drama stuff. It's still in there, but not as bad as other seasons. I can't get enough of this show it sucks so much ass but it's also awesome at the same time. Sort of reminds me of The Ranch on Netflix. Just awful but for some reason I couldn't stop watching and that didn't even have nostalgia going for it.

As long as the finished product is worth it, That's all I care about. There's been far too many new IPs that have shit the bed as of late. Looking at you Outriders.

I think one player can host a multiplayer game, I imagine it works a bit like Civilisation but we can look into it. I better install it and get practising now I have the Steam version.

The problem is Konami are first class toss pots and never undestood what a great game they had on their hands.

I have both Xbox and Switch, just afraid it'll be shit and not age well, in terms of gameplay rather than graphics. If it's a complete remake with modern shooting I'd be all over it but I don't think that's the case. The original is up there with the all time greats of video games, I loved it. Don't want to tarnish my fond memories 😁

Finally Too bad it's just for Xbox and Switch but at least it's been done. Hopefully we'll see a PC port in the future.

Picked this up for a whopping $6 after touring a retro videogame store with my oldest. I remember people here taking about it and didn’t want to check youtube for spoilers and such. I’m maybe 1 hr into the game and it’s sluggish but I can see a story getting developed. Question is - Is this game just going to make me depressed? I have 3 littles and I don’t need added drama in my life because that’s just not fun for me. Seems like Last of Us is the same way which is why I haven’t tried that one either. I like games for fun and don’t mind some drama but I don’t want to play through an experience where my kids die and shit. Is this game worth continuing or should I pass? PS3 is the new retro btw. We’re old now, gotta accept it.

Hello assorted FGers... Come December, we (wife, son, and I) will be traveling abroad again. The "dead time" between US Thanksgiving and Christmas is pretty cheap right now, and for under $1300 US in total the 3 of us can fly out of Chicago, do a stayover in London, then on to Lisbon, then back to Chicago. We're looking at 1-2 days on the ground in London/surrounding areas and 6-7 days on the ground in Portugal, unsure of exact plans for Lisbon the entirety or get to Porto or what. I understand it'll be cool to cold during the trip, but I have a week of vacation I need to burn or lose and the pricing is tough to say no to. I'd like to see Stonehenge while we're there. We've done the Big Ben/Tower of London/Big Eye thing on a stayover before, but our son was too little to remember anything. He's 17 now...fuck me time flies. Trip advise for either destination in December?

Hi Doc, If the dates are manageable, I’d like to meet up for a drink in London and I’m sure some of the others would as well. Stonehenge is a day trip by train from London apparently…if they’re not on strike!

Thanks @IRaMPaGe appreciate you getting in touch and your words, if your're a Destiner 🙂 at all I'll catch up with you there 👍

Hey @phil bottle Yeah, already been lucky enough to jump into games with people. Some great c64 games listed, would have to add Bubble Bobble, original Street Fighter, Adidas Championship Football and Double Dragon!. Yeah just sold by my local newsagents, brilliant. Cheers

Welcome aboard matey, such a great intro and write up was a pleasure to read. I'm sure you will have a fantastic time here, a great bunch. 🙂

I've said sod it and just fired up the unreleased XBLA version again😂

There is a lot of hopes and ifs going on here. I hope it is good as well. What suckered you into Pre-orderering? The cosmetics? The early beta? I'm just curious MrBiron. I didn't actually mind Cold War, I had fun with it. 🙂

Seems to be a very convoluted situation The GoldenEye Re-Releases are a Weirdly Convoluted Situation - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Two different versions of GoldenEye are being released on two different consoles, but neither are the recently leaked remaster. It’s a weirdly convoluted situation. Basically the Xbox version gets 4K, Local MP, 60fps plus achivements and the Switch gets online multiplayer but a far weaker experience in regards to framerate and resolution as expected. The absolute killer for both versions is that NEITHER are the remaster that was leaked last year on PC which was an excellent ground-up reworking plus like with Halo and it's MCC versions, you could switch to the old appearance in the press of one button. So basically both devices get the old N64 port with varying quality and MP features but nobody gets what was finished back in 2008 which was the Xbox Live Arcade version made to the same standard of the outstanding Perfect Dark remastering. Seems everyone is gonna get the short straw with this but at least Rare Replay owners will get it for free. It's such a travesty the unreleased version from 2008 will never legitimately see the light of day and those money men clowns who own the IP's don't know the opportunity that they've let walk by.

Johnny is still awesome!! And Chozen was so funny throughout the season 😂

I think @Jason called it earlier in this thread that it sounds just good fun rather than groundbreaking new TV. Arguably its what most people like these days, rather than a really profound film. Not everything needs to make you think. Your body just needs happy fun endorphins 99% of the time but we get tricked by our 1% inquisitive side of the brain 😅

Definitely worth continuing - the most depressing part of the game is probably the cheesiness but it's definitely a unique experience seeing through.

Week 1 was delight for us redskin err football team err commanders fans, actually looked like we had an offense. Not a bad start at all !

I'm just wondering if anyone that has the game Crusader Kings 3, would be interested in starting a small multiplayer world? I don't know much about how it works but, I love the idea and think it would be fun to do something together!

I actually downloaded it as I have a hankering for a strategy game, was opening for a Total War sort of thing, but was massively disappointed was on console which might make a difference so controls were clunky busy even so I never really felt I was doing anything much fun ! Bit to cerebral for me !

I know how that goes! Cobra Kai is definitely a bingeable show. I've not watched S5 yet but shall be catch up on it later this week.

Well I burned through season 5 this weekend, as usual once I started watching I needed to see where it was going. Johnny is great, by far my favourite character and then there is chozen 😁 It seems odd to wait for a series then it's done in no time.

Both managers that lost 9-0 this past week got sacked the day after. Useless fact of the day everyone! 😄 Looking forward to seeing what Transfer Deadline Day will bring today.
