I don't know how the hell I missed these games when they initially released, but god damn, are they fun! Imagine Link to The Past if the perspective was a bit more isometric, had a hand-drawn art style, and the main character was a cat, and a dog in the sequel. I finished the first game rather quickly as I just couldn't put the controller down. It's one of those games that doesn't need a multitude of systems and other BS most AAA titles have to be enjoyable. So far, the sequel is just as good but with the addition of couch co-op/online co-op. Right now, you can grab both games on PSN for $10. Worth it IMO.

So this is a series I have always been fond of despite the games not doing so well in recent years. I'm quite glad to see the new game is reviewing well so it's looking like something I want to pick up (see if I can convince my wife to pick it up for christmas maybe ^_^). Star Ocean: The Divine Force Reviews OPENCRITIC.COM Star Ocean: The Divine Force is rated 'Fair' after being reviewed by 12 critics, with an overall average score of 73. It's ranked in the top 44%... Not sure if anyone else is a fan of the series here? It looks like it has had a smaller budget than recent games but they look like they have done more and been a bit more ambitious with it which has gone down well 🙂

The last Star Ocean game I played was Second Story way back on the PS1. RPGs were the king at that point, but it had to compete with Square Enix. I may give this one a look.

Great game in a group, highly recommend. Currently waiting for Darktide to drop...

Having blooper team make a silent hill game is a total recipe for success... 😏

I think Kill streaks are largely responsible for that. They tried to change that with score streaks but I don't think they were successful. I tend to play the objective but I noticed that it is much easier to get the needed number of kills than it is to get the score. Camping your ass off to get 7 kills for a sentry gun just seems a lot easier to than running around trying to cap two flags and getting 875. Everytime you change spots you risk being shot, claymored, kill streak. I remember playing barebones and streakless game modes and it seemed to me like those were not as bad

There's been strong rumours of an MGS1 remake in the last year or so but with Kojima gone and Konami being bastards, even if it did happen, I don't think they'd do a very good job. Konami also hate making money it seems as they have so many big IP's on their books but they don't seem to want to make the most of them.

I received a letter yesterday saying I'm getting £2300 back from a loan overpayment (no idea how the fuck that even happens!). Which meant I did what any sensible person would do: spent a load of it on something I don't even need 😁 So I've bought an LG C2 OLED TV. With a £75 Ebay voucher I got one for £874 (I only got 42" as I sit a couple of feet from my TV). So pretty soon I'll be able to look down on all the peasants with TVs that are merely 60hz 🧐

Epsidoe 18 is LIVE!!!!! Friggin Sony again, and D&D Transformers?!?!?!?!?!?!

This game is so fucking annoying.

I have a feeling that will be fixed with Warzone. The barracks and everything right now is in warzone and you can lookup multiplayer there. Hopefully that is what they were planning after the pre-season is over

I will take it! Seriously a huge improvement than what we have currently.

Taraq also has a ground war variant although this one is a bit different and less bleak. Pretty open and still pretty horrible but at least there isn't a million rooftops or rooms for people to camp with.

Market map is favourite by far, followed by whatever it's called bagra? Then there's that other one with the cars, some building one with doors and desks. Bad the crossing one is leave immediately, the sandy one with the broken buildings is just fuck around with a sniper, the one that looks like a drug cartel hideout is basically hide and seek boredom. The water one and the hotel are ok. Might have missed one not sure but there is nothing here given the choice I'd play over any from older cod's and I can't be arsed learning the stupid names.

I just picked this one up Thursday, and I've been enjoying it so far. It's giving me a Metroid vibe for sure. The level up system is somewhat similar to Dark Souls and when you die, you lose your currency at the spot of death. I'll dig more into this one over the weekend.

I got the platinum trophy for the 2018 GoW and I can't wait to rock his one. It's been getting some solid reviews.

I've thumbed them all up apart from Santa Sena and Taraq. They're all pretty playable 6v6 maps - nothing that will go down in COD folklore but it's much better than having 3 decent ones, 3 awful ones and 3 you never want to play ever. I maintain, whoever is responsible for the border crossing map should be jailed.

Really cool idea @GazzaGarratt. My favourite is Mercado Las Almas, followed by the racetrack one in 2nd place. Worst is Taruq, it's just shit, underwhelming and exposed. Horrible potential to be spawn trapped. Too many people camping windows in buildings. A disgrace of a map and also very boring. 2nd worst is Sena boarder crossing, but to be fair I'm enjoying it more than my first couple of matches on it. You just have to play a bit different and slower on it to achieve anything.

This video shows how stupid the gunsmith is or the fact that it is used to give the illusion of content @GazzaGarrattit seems odd it's a crazy amount of pointless attachments 👍 I'm sure you'll have a positive spin on it though 😂

I might have to check it out. I like obscure films that nobody knows about.

Currently 94 on Meta and another technical masterpiece

Yeah, it's completely killed the Gunsmith for me. The real fun about this aspect was building a fully-kitted gun and balancing the positive effects with the negative but here, if you have 3 or more attachments, you will be at a disadvantage in at least two areas - usually ADS time or recoil which are pretty key, unless you cancel them out and then it's basically the same as the gun being barebones by default. Without them providing the numbers either, it is also impossible to determine the true impact that these effects have. You can literally have a gun where ADS time is reduced 4 times which is likely crippling but it's silly that we don't know if it's 0.1 seconds or something like 0.5 seconds for each attachment. I've found one underbarrel which has no negatives and about 10 attachments on some guns which have exactly the same +/-. Even the blueprint builds must be catastrophically bad! There's just too much bloat and it's a headache trying to sift through trying to craft a gun even just choosing 2-3 attachments in the basic sense. The whole thing needs a rework really.

I think it fits the large amount of casual players at launch, not saying I agree with it though overall as I want it to be interesting to try attachments to find a great loadout too. Just don't be surprised that if we see in the first balance patch that stock guns aren't as good as they were at launch. I must admit, it didn't stop me from doing the M4 Gold Camo after one day. Maybe cos the sheer amount of attachments this time round, means there are some good combos but we have to really look out for them and try different options until we find one thats better than the stock.

I actually think thats a good thing. KC games where it swings either way just near the end are always the games we all as a team get hyped to try and get the last tag for the win. I find its 1 in every 5/6 games we probably get absolutely turned over, which i'm fine with. Its gonna happen from time to time. re the attachments thoughts @J4MES OX4D @TigerBurge @Luseth , maybe its a launch thing. For instance, make stock guns that everyone accesses pretty decent feeling so they get into the game and a later patch will rebalance the stock guns? I think thats a sound model how to get people engaged initially anyway. I'm finding the right scope is DEFINITELY making a difference. I also think having less attachments on should work too. It would annoy me if most guns would only work well with teh full 5 attachments on it. I'm sure theres some good combos people have found though as they've unlocked way more stuff.

This one confuses me also. They are trying to keep guns from being OP but with that they have made it where your gun is better without attachments. For the most part I fun at a max 3 attachments. One has zero negative effects then the other two counter acts each other.

About half of COD players just go for kills. They know full well that they are playing an objective mode and what is required to win but most of the time they will only seek as many kills as possible even if the team loses heavily. I don't think this attitude will ever change - they've tried in the past to bolster objective XP and reduce kill XP but even then people will rather go 21-9 and 0 captures than 30-27, 7 captures, a win plus a fat load of XP on top.

I saw that, generally I run 2 or 3 attachments rather than trying to fully kit out the gun. I find a sight is important, I sometimes fiddle with the ammo but the grips and such I don't utilise so much because of all the added negatives. I'm enjoying the game more than I thought I would, I think my only issue and it tend's to be an issue with COD games is more often than not you get half a lobby fully of players ignoring the game modes and essentially playing TDM. Hardpoint and game modes like that you can see the seconds or captures a player does and you will usually see 4 or 5 with less than a couple of seconds or no captures, just baffles me that, why don't people go play TDM then? Or is it just because the quickplay has everything on by default?

I don't play those terrible game modes 😉🤣 Its crazy the scores, I've had so many drawn games or ones where the final score is within 1 or 2 tags 🤣

The game is pretty much one take throughout - I can't even remember when there was a single cut. It's a rare example where the game looks exactly like how it appeared in the trailers too so this one will look just as good as it does now. Cannot wait!

My son has completed the last one 3 times recently and I have to say, when he asks me watch the game is absolutely astounding. Not just the gameplay but the cutscenes and how they integrate some of them with gameplay is incredible. If its more of the same then there should be no problem with that given the variety of things that you do with Kratos and the 'Boy'. Also, they released a picture of Thor and I think he looks quality and true to how a god should look like! This should be well worth the wait.

Can't wait for this!!!!

Nothing to laugh about us beating Man City again. Don't know why everyone else struggles

BT sport have won the right to every single champions league game from 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24879138

Solid performance from Chelsea. You have to love the crowd teasing Schalke's keeper every time he got the ball after that mistake

Pathetic performance from Liverpool... Arsenal were good but we made them look extra special I feel...

More than 35 yards? It was from his own box, that's not really very good description of that goal... 12 seconds aswell...

Ok, checked BBC sport for football updates, Stoke have just scored. Goal! Stoke City 1, Southampton 0. Asmir Begovic (Stoke City) right footed shot from more than 35 yards to the high centre of the goal. Assisted by Erik Pieters. He's the goalkeeper. They just carried on commentating like this happens all the time.

4-1 and 3 amazing goals! Next week will be intense. Either Liverpool or Arsenal are going to be knocked off their high horse.

He is... He just looks a bit lethargic at times... Then again I'm biased, I would probably be gay for him of he wanted me to...

What the Wapping Gazette, yet another one of Murdoch's media manipulations. God I hate that paper and everything it stands for!

Stop mouthing The Sun, page 3 FTW.

What do those twats at The Sun think they are doing?!!! Talk about a storm in a tea cup Jesus!! So glad I never buy that piece of crap tabloid toilet paper.

Haha that made me chuckle

We do lack quality in wide positions, everyone we have just seems to have place in their game... Walcott- injured, has actually been pretty decent recently Chamberlain- probably our best winger, has all the attributes and desire to do well, unfortunatly injured Townsend- unproven, hasn't exactly done much of any note over the last few years Milner- poor Adam Johnson- greedy, but dosent posses the talent or end product for such greediness Downing- injured, good crosser, but generally poor Jarvis- pace no end product Sterling- no end product Young- sometimes has something special, has been out of favour of late Welbeck will probably play wide left and Milner on the right... EDIT, Lennon is just shit...

Socrates, one of the greatest Brazilian midfielders of all time was a 40 a day man, just saying. Seriously though, Wilshere's being a bit of an idiot, the physical condition of players these days is the highest it's ever been, smoking won't do him any favours, from health or profile point of view. Can't you tell I've been smoke free for a week, with all this preaching!!
