Those 8 months are to help people save up to pay £100 or whatever it's going to cost 🫠

You see, this is where I worry Bungie has gone wrong with Marathon. Apparently same genre as this game, but this is way more like what I would expect a PvPvE extraction game to look and feel. It feels like the environment Arc Raiders is clean and aesthetically will work given Tarkov is already in this space.

Unfortunately, I just don't see it now from any Championship club. Ideally you want some of the teams to come up to stay up so they can achieve more, get more competitive and make the game more healthy - but the last 2 seasons we've seen a sharp decline in promoted teams as well as the gap from existing Prem teams getting larger. Forest, for me clearly bought 25 players with some experience so unless any team is willing to do that, I see all 3 going back down. Btw, its not a Burnley/Leeds thing this. Even Blackburn wouldn't be anywhere near the standard. I watched Burnley vs Sheff Utd and whilst they looked robust, you could see none of their players have Premiership quality. It just feels like you have to get promoted with one team, sack them, and then bring in some elite experienced players that have Prem experience. You could argue rather than have a Super League, insert a League 1.5 between Prem and Championship and we'd see better football throughout as thats whats happened now.

And it's released 🙂 50 quid on Steam but I've got the PC GamePass so it's installing already. I'll probably buy it on Steam if i like it...

Bethesda live reveal tomorrow 😍

The Oblivion remaster is real: Doubters in shambles as developer Virtuos accidentally leaves the door open to trailer screenshots and assets | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see.

The better game to watch will get the Man Utd one. Spurs and Bodo game is in freezing cold Norway on an artificial grass pitch, so will be a horrible game to watch. I have to watch it unfortunately 🙈

This game is becoming massively popular and is currently sitting at 92 on Metacritic. It's made by just 30 developers - mostly ex-Ubisoft who broke away from the corporate regime of churning out regurgitated shit annually. It's a bit of a travesty that it got threw under the bus somewhat by the shadow drop of Oblivion Remastered but it's becoming so popular that it is not actually too far behind now and the gap is closing.

Yea, that was a really fun game. I need to see what's on this afternoon. I hope it's another good one. Sadly they don't really promote the games here, and they pop up on two different channels.

Fantastic game, both legs in fact 👏

Still end up being cheaper than the latest Assassin's Creed Deluxe Edition or the new FIFA Ultimate Edition🤣

Had a feeling they'd drop this after delaying for 8 months🤣

New vid, trailer 2

Played this for about 7 or 8 hours last night on Ps5. I want my $40 back. Minigames for everything? I get you can turn them off, but why? The Data Spike minigame is the worst, the Coolant for your blaster is close though. Kay randomly jumps on to every surface she can when I am playing. Which makes it being a cover shooter sort of tricky. The speeder driving is garbage. I am going to give it another go here today, but I am going to dig into the Accessibility options to see if there is something there that's turned on that shouldn't be for all this crap.

Lots of influencer types are hyping this game at the moment. One to watch!

I've had time for 3 proper raids so far, 2 of which I successfully extracted. The game is done really well, I'm not usually a fan of 3rd person but here, like the Division games, it feels very smooth. Sound is excellent, guns feel good to use, there's a good tutorial and there's a skill system that's pretty straightforward. I'm busy today until the evening but if the playtest is still live tonight I'll definitely be jumping on again.

I havne't played Oblivion in a million years, but just acquired this. I know I will start off heavy armor, two handed, to slowly morph into stealth archer.

pvp extraction shooter

I got access to the playtest for this today. Only played a bit so far but I'm actually impressed. I'll report back when I've spent a little more time on it.

My Steam character is a wood elf and the class is assassin this time. Can use bow very well and blade decently, plus I'm going to level up destruction too. Such a great game 🥰

Currently 99,000 in-game on Steam which has overtaken Oblivion at 98k! It's also one of the few UE5 games that doesn't feel like asset slop and it apparently runs really well. The art style looks incredible and the combat seems very refreshing for a turn-based title. Probably the biggest success story of the generation so far. Can see the popularity of it soaring further in the coming weeks.

Another all-in live service risk by Sony and developed by Bungie. Reception has been pretty mixed in the trailers and playtests and this could be another another DOA title. Not quite Concord 2.0 but it could very well be another embarrassment.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Playing on PC via gamepass tight now but I'm going to buy the Steam version this week. The gamepass character I can still play on Xbox as it has cross save but it'll be a new character on Steam. I'm currently a Breton Spellblade, but might make myself a sneaky archer on Steam.

Oh my. I think we got old. Fast. 🤣 Tom @LordBaguette, Froggie @datfroggieguy and myself jumped in OG warzone for a few fun runs - and got absolutely annihilated time after time. It was quite funny tbh. I still enjoy goign after all the mission requests which lead you to better guns on the fly rather than saving money for a loadout drop. It definitely has something about it...we must have had 5-6 runs of getting smashed and then all of a sudden we went on a rampage. Around 10-12 kills as a team and we kept pushing through, with constant redeploys and managed to get a top 10. That game felt like the whole was night was worth playing, just for that moment. Probably worth a few more game nights with some FGers. Even if its crossplay, doesn't bother me.

I'm very happy with it so far, and I'm getting 80 fps on medium settings at 1440p. I aside from a couple of niggles I think they have exceeded my expectations. I'm playing this on gamepass right now but as soon as I see it for 40 quid or less I'm picking up the Steam version.

Agree. The gulf is absolutely insane now. Burnley have the best defence in EFL history yet they will likely ship a load next season and look very ordinary. The rest of the team will be fairly unknown but I just can't see them competing like they did for several years. Leeds have had a great campaign particularly at home but they will need to replace both their keepers along with Bamford and Piroe and the likes of Bogle already have 50 PL appearances with 36 of them being defeats whilst shipping 3 goals a game. Rodon does not have enough experience and I can't see Joseph, Ampadu or Firpo performing consistently at that level. Solomon is a great signing and was a great replacement for Summerville but if you want to kick on in the Prem, you certainly have to make some sweeping changes as players some that are too good for the EFL are nowhere near PL standard. Summerville himself was outstanding for Leeds last season but has been utter dogshit for West Ham. Daniel Farke is also expected to be sacked which kinda outlines the ruthless approach needed to remain in the Prem. He could win the title and be gone the next day it is that crazy. In terms of the playoff contending teams, they are miles off even Leeds and Burnley. Sunderland are big but they just don't have the finances to build a sustainable team capable of maintaining a place in the Prem. Some exciting players in Bellingham, Rigg and Mayenda but the rest are rooted in ELF standard forever. Roberts, O'Nien and Mepham are prime examples and even Isidor has struggled immensely for months now. We all know what Sheff Utd are like up there, plus Coventry and Bristol City may provide a refreshing change, it may be short lived once the glitz and glamour is over like Ipswich discovered.

It's out now on PS5 too 🙂

Such a strange season at Spurs. Dominating every team we play but then letting in silly goals. Had 70% possession against Forest, plus 20 shots to their 4, and still lost. I'd say the manager is a dead man walking no matter what happens in Europe.

Leeds United are back in the Premier League! 🥳

Good afternoon you beautiful people, I don't know when but at some point recently addons (or mods basically) were added to the store so they can be added to realms. There's whole modpacks on there but to start with, Matt and I decided on a few choice vanilla+ mods. The mods included are - Tinkers Construct (a mod that adds many different materials for tools, upgrades and modifiers to tools) - Storage drawers (these are errr drawers the store stuff - some alternate storage, each draw stores one item but shows the item and single drawers can store a LOT - storage can be increased too) - Botany pots (pots to grow stuff in, simplifies crop growing and with hopper pots, they will auto-harvest crops too) - A structure addon that adds buildings to explore out in the world - A creature addon that adds some new creatures (and variants) to find in different parts of the world. This should work seamlessly for anyone that can connect from whatever device. For me, the realm showed up automatically for me as I've connected before to the old one. So hopefully people can get on but any problems and we can sort out an invite link.

Mirror's Edge - mad that this is a 2008 game!

They would be pretty dumb not to release on all platforms at the same time particularly with their new mantra of playing their games on whatever device you like...

Remake or remaster...I hear it's a bit of both. Leakers say it may drop next Tuesday but we'll see...

A pretty comprehensive review

It looks like only Matty can do it as the Realm owner so dropped him a message to post a join link. Never! It’s nice to be able to crossplay with some mods but Bedrock has a looooong way to go to be on the level of java. Also you have to buy the addons for Bedrock (the server host does, not all of us) rather just download them. Plus Bedrock is annoying in some respects though I accept this might just be because I’m so used to Java.

Arsenal game was not quite as entertaining but my god did they miss some chances early on and paid the price. I actually thought they could turn it around and win quite comfortably and they could've achieved that within the first 20 minutes. PSG scoring first and then getting a foothold made things really hard and although Saka missed a good chance to set up a tense finale, it was never a close contest as the game wore on. Spurs better not balls it up tonight!

I've played about 12 hours so far and I can comfortably say this is one of the best games of the generation so far. The world design is stunning, the story is intriguing, the characters and voice acting is top tier and the writing is fantastic. Even the music is stunningly beautiful. The combat is great fun as it combines what you'd normally see in a JRPG, but with interactive QTE moments enabling you to dodge, parry and counterattack, rather than let the computer and RNG determine it for you. You have to learn enemy move-sets like you would typically in the likes of Sekiro and this can be a challenge in itself along with timing the inputs perfectly within the small window available. The game is pretty linear at its core but this is good as it cuts out all the open world crap that plagues modern games. There's no filler here - everything flows incredibly well and you are constantly engaged especially with the characters and the remarkable story. To think just 30 people made this using Unreal 5 and it's only just over 50gb is absolutely crazy! Expedition 33 is just so far ahead of what any other AAA developer can churn out now, it is quite frankly embarrassing for the likes of Ubisoft and BioWare. It'll be a huge wake-up call for Final Fantasy too. It's games like this that make actually save the industry. The fact it's only £30-40 when AAA games are to be pushing £75-80 makes this an essential purchase. I'm also glad the shadow-release of Oblivion Remastered hasn't hampered its success - 2m copies sold in 12 days and it's the fastest selling game of its kind even ahead of Final Fantasy, Persona and Yakuza.

Lots of screenshots Grand Theft Auto 6 dropped a whopping 84 brand-new screenshots and illustrations, and here's every single one | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Leonida's people and places all in one spot.

Definately a cash grab on people who have never bought into the Xbox ecosystem, can't see any other reason for it. The current remaster play's fairly well so I don't understand why you would pick this up unless you had just solely stayed on playstation. I do wonder if we may see this released on the Switch 2 as well?

Again a remaster of the first game? I would like to play this series but only the 1st and the 5th are available on pc, so I am not bothering with them. Why not make a MCC style collection and remaster for all?

A clip of this randomly came up on my youtube reels. Oh my, it looks really good and seems to have quite decent puzzles on the PvE side which is nice to have in a game as thats the bit I feel most games seem to miss these days to grab your interest enough. Let us know how you get on @phil bottle!

I have got Gold on the AK47 🥳😎

Stats updated from last week, sorry for the delay guys!

They are a bit pointless aren't they? Friday's for me are generally the day I have no meetings, get left alone all day and work from home with no one really knowing what I am doing. It tends to be the day I book my dentist appointments, doctors appointments and all the rest of it as I know few people will realy want me on a Friday. What are your Friday's like?

I have no idea what on earth is going on in the Championship. I've tried to turn a blind eye as for me, the season was done at Christmas anyway 🤣 So at least the last day of the season will be great to watch as a neutral. We have to beat Sheff Utd away on the last day so in all honesty, Bristol and Cov should still get 5th and 6th respectfully given they have Preston and Middlesborough. Probably shows that its more fun watching Championship games though! 🤣🤣

Attached are the invite links should anyone need them.

Must admit I always enjoy clubs even with some of the rubbish evenings we get, we generally have a good laugh and chat about shit. No other game really offers the same experience as we don't really have a game where we are all on the same team competing against everyone or everything else! Anyway stats have been updated, sorry for the last few weeks being delayed!

Back full force with running not going into detail why I gave it up bur sure does feel good to be back out there. Prep fo4 the conditions as today I didn't and almost took a nap on the pavement. Over 100km ran this month. It's gotten to the point I'm collecting digital trophies on strava so it's.just not ps trophies.

Quite enjoying this demo. Although I will admit that I had filled in half of the river crossings on the third map with sand and graded them all before realising bridges were a thing
