After last year's debacle, I am tempted to grab this. Looks like they've made some key improvements Also a much-improved matchday engine

Do like me, buy 3 years after release, I'm having fun on bf5 and there are a lot of people ! 😁 The beta didn't convince me. I have high hopes for the mod portal and modding (I don't know much about it), but I'll be keeping a close eye on its release.

Yep, first two were excellent and had a certain charm to them, I enjoyed them a lot. If I want a Borderlands experience I can always go back to them, 2 still holds up really well.

Good old Channel 5 Chelsea with LeBoeuf, Kevin Hitchcock, Michael Duberry and Graham Le Saux. That was their standard until the dirty money came in and they bought success. Sadly just like City, nothing will happen with this.

I didn't even bother picking up Borderlands 3 when it was £2.99 so I doubt I'll pick this up. Apparently it's plagued with performance issues and invisible walls that completely restrict the playing space. I'm sure the story is better than the last game but that isn't much of a feat really. The first two were great games but this is something I can't really be bothered with now.

They'll always be Cheatski to me, a nothing club until the Russian gangster came along to launder his dirty money 🤪

Anyone got this yet? Was released at very short notice after 7 years of development the other day and costs less £16/$20. It had 3m wishlists on Steam alone and actually crashed every store front when it launched. Just shy of 600,000 players on Steam in the first few hours. There's even other indie developers moaning about how popular and cheap it is plus how they didn't give enough notice to other studios about the launch. Literally the same situation as when Baldurs Gate 3 angered other bitter devs about the success of their game. I'm actually playing the original right now and it seems a really unique game. Surprised I didn't pick it up sooner. It's basically a Metroidvania Dark Souls. If I keep at it then I'll definitely grab Silksong even at full price.

Ah Black Ops II - they don't make them like this anymore.

I actually preferred playing FM on mobile as it was a slimmed down version similar to the old Championship Manager games. Hopefully this interface will be much more user friendly and less overwhelming to navigate.

I really REALLY like the UI. Its such a dealbreaker on these games, and probably why I can never get into the last 10-15 years of this game as it felt so overwhelming. If they can make that easier to flow and use so there's more gameplay rather than tinkering the absolute minute detail then I'm all for it.

It was even going for £2.99 on Steam. I still didn't buy it🤣 The amount of content you get at launch on these games is minimal and we've already experienced half the original maps of BF6 just from playing the beta alone and I must admit I was bored of all of them in just a few hours. The only bad thing about not playing the latest MP game at launch is you miss the game at its peak when the community is alive. I'm really not sure I can justify paying £60 for this though and I'm not sold on how the developers are taking this game forward along with EA's long term vision of the franchise.

Very wise. In fact I saw that BF2042 was going for as little as £5 quite recently.

I've not really bothered watching this games promos as I got bored with the series and don't like mandy prickford who makes it. Looks much the same other than it seems to need some optimisation, pretty standard these days lol

Games have literally doubled in price in the last 10 years and i'm being a lot more careful where I spend my money these days. I'll be hanging back and see how BF6 plays out before I consider it. But yes I agree, Battlefield used to serve a particular niche that they seem to be turning their backs on. It looks like a decent upgrade on COD but its not Battlefield any more. Such is life 🙃

Their last Battle Royale attempt failed and there's no reason why this wont either. I'm seriously considering not bothering getting this game because they're just going down the Call of Duty route and losing everything that makes Battlefield what it is. Looks like they're going to miss the open goal they've been gifted on a plate this year.

Finally watched Happy Gilmore 2, 28 Years later, and Nobody 2 Mixed opinions on all of them. Not really sure what to say.

Fantastic. 100% hard agree. Can't wait to watch this ❤️

They look like ass, so much ass that even the manager can barely stand to look at them 😂 I did think they’d do better, 1-0 loss to arsenal wasn’t dsmning, but holy fuck have they just kicked themselves in the face since. Unless someone puts on teir big boy pants and start putting in some effort soon I predict another lower half finish for them which is wild as about 2 weeks ago I would have said they’d probably be challenging for top 6.

If Liverpool don't win the league, its a travesty, even without getting Guehi now - looks like they'll get him in January anyway. Championship is completely all over the shop as always, good to not look at any tables so far. Was a very interesting day seeing lots of players move around the top 2 leagues. Still think Madueke is an absolute steal from Chelsea to Arsenal. In a boring game, he was the only shining light that nearly helped Arsenal edge Liverpool. I'm sue when Eze gets up to speed they'll be up there no doubt. Man Utd will be top half now for sure. Mbeumo and Cunha look fantastic for them, but they seem to be a team that has to score lots more goals because they always look like conceding 2-3 goals every game.

This is what happens when you get interviewed by Gary Neville 🤣🤣

The first football manager video game came out in the early 80s on ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 and was recently re-made for mobile.... and completely under my radar was also released on Steam last month. I played it when I was 10 years old 😍 It costs £4.99 and I've bought it to play on SteamDeck. Expecting nostalgia to take over when I try it out in a bit. I loved the original, so let's see if I can take York City back to the 1st Division 🫠

That worked out well for that other company didn't it....
