Back to this topic again as we seem to be getting inundated lately 🙈🤪 Obviously goes without saying, take care not to click on any links from randoms until we get around to deleting them. And thanks all for reporting when you find them 🖤👊

Being born in 1993 I didn’t have too much time with video games in the 90’s. That being said, I did have a game boy and a Dreamcast. So I would have to say Pokemon Red/Blue for me, with a shoutout to SoulCalibur too!

So many great games, it's impossible to choose but here's a few mentions: Super Mario World - SNES Goldeneye - N64 GTA 2 - PC Age of Empires - PC Medal of Honour - PlayStation

May Monthly Games looks good!

Sony are already removing paid products and shutting content servers down plus you also have the likes of Ubisoft even revoking licences and making games totally inaccessible so all in all, several games in the last decade have become unplayable. Some titles even require day one downloads to function because the disc is incomplete and about as useful as a paperweight. If a game has a single player component and can play out of the box then it's fine but there will be many titles that will become wholly unplayable. Thankfully most of the modern shite isn't even worth treasuring which is why 99% of my games are digital now and I couldn't care less. Don't think I'll have the urge to visit The Crew 2 in 15 years time. I think after the PS3/XB360 era when physical media died and live service took over, that's when I stopped giving a toss. It's also the time the industry changed for the worse.

Hear hear @phil bottle. I do add some protection from keywords to try and stop as many as we can not even posting but it is inevitable we'll keep getting them over time. Like Philly the Great says, keeping reporting them. Note, you can use a button instead of replyign to report content if needed. That sends an email straight away to all Moderators and Admins that a post has been picked up by someone that looks suspicious. Thanks all GGFG ❤️🖤

Looking back we were in a state of transition, moving away from 16 bit graphics to experience our first forray into 3d. A lot of the 3d models were blockish and certainly would not hold up well today, heck it's not often you see someone make a 90s style game but people do keep going back to our 16 bit era. So, are there any games you remember fondly? For me it'ss the obvious final fantasy games, but in addition to that I always remember fighting force. Spending a lot of time on streets of rage when I was younger I suppose this was the sort of game that evolved from them, walking around 3d levels beating the crap out of people. So, are there any that you remember fondly?

The original crash bandicoot was one of the games that basically cemented me being a future gamer. Was also revolutionary for its time, came out in 1996

Very tough choice because the 90's made some huge strides in very little time and the industry kept evolving and innovating massively - imagine going from Doom to Half Life in just 5 years! The gulf between a 2019 game compared to a 2024 one now is almost nothing. Metal Gear Solid is a very strong shout because it told an incredible story and had some unforgettable gameplay moments. There's also Half Life as mentioned, Resident Evil 2, FF7, Super Mario 64, GoldenEye, Age of Empires 2 and many more. I'd probably give it to MGS overall as it pushed the PS1 to the max and also exposed Nintendo's mistake in using cartridges as even some of the sound files were bigger than an entire N64 game! Games going from 2D to 3D was big in those days and Mario 64 was also a significant leap. I really miss huge innovations like that these days.

The 90's you say? Metal Gear Solid. It was just so good back then.

4 very bad defeats in a row for Spurs now and little chance of grabbing a top 4 place after failing to capitalise on any games in hand and today's defeat for Villa. Well done to Ipswich for getting back into the Prem also!

What if it's a secret link to Diddums OnlyFans? Coupled with a subscription to "The Sun" Newspaper.

Thanks for pointing out the report function, I’ll be sure to use that in future 🫡

I was born in 1990, that's no excuse! 😛 A lot of my gaming was gameboy / megadrive to be fair. The gameboy was the first one my parents bought me but I got the mega drive quite young as I was given it by my cousin, he was much older and I think at the age where gaming got left behind a little while he went off chasing girls and such I suspect.

I like the idea of a tournament 👀 I don’t always have the time to join the clubs sessions but a tournament could be really cool!

With FC 24 hopefully get a big tournament on the go could be interesting.

Would be good to get a couple more on fifa from FG, otherwise the month seem's ok but I find I just add PS plus games to my library these day's and never actually play them.

I've played 2 hours of the game, it's a bit janky but I'm really liking it. I chose the LRI faction, which can never be changed, and this means if you have friends who choose one of the other factions (there's 3 in total) you can't play with them as they are effectively your enemy. A dipshit team-killed me tonight which was a bit stupid as you can see all your faction players location on the map. I hunted the prick down and had my revenge : ) Game needs some work but they seem to be pretty responsive as we can shoot from helicopters now, so hope they continue to listen to feedback 🤗 I bought the game for 29.99 and if they carry on making it better I'll support them by picking up one of the supporter upgrades...will see anyway...

Call of Duty: Vanguard

That’s fine, as I said I didn’t like your tone. If you and Phil don’t think you said anything wrong that’s fine. (That’s the internet) Funny thing is I actually agree with your point and everything you’ve said about it.

Don't think any harm meant mate 🙂 @J4MES OX4D is a bit like me like and doesn't have many filters on, well i say like me, he's always wrong when he disagrees with me, obviously 🤪🤣🖤 But yeah the having to sign into Sony shouldn't be that big a deal, many Steam games require using a non Steam launcher, so why they wanted to stitch ppl up in Sony-less countries is baffling.

I don’t appreciate your tone with this response. However if that is the case that’s pretty shit, I just thought this was a verification wall they were adding (hence why I brought up EA). If this is the case it makes no sense. Why would you get rid of that many players?

There has been an update for this game so I'll boot it up later this evening. It needs a lot of work on optimisation and even with low settings makes my PC work its arse off. Fantastic game otherwise. I actually went back on Tarkov after their backtrack, which runs like a dream.. after lots of years of optimisation tbf

That's not the point - over 600,000 owners in 98 countries would have lost access to the entire game because PSN is not available in their region. The game was also forcibly removed from sale in 170 counties where PSN is not supported the day before they did a u-turn. Sony also have a shambolic reputation for security integrity so I can see why a lot of people are apprehensive about creating an account and mandatorily sharing their information with them and their affiliates, however the central issue with this situation was a huge portion of product owners would have not been able to play their purchase ever again due to this needless requirement. EA's service operates globally and if there is content restrictions in place, users cannot purchase outright so they aren't at risk of being burned down the line by things becoming inaccessible. This would be like Sony saying you need an Asian PSN account to play Final Fantasy games now and if you don't have one, you can't play their games anymore.

I wonder how many people will change there stream reviews after this? Happy for the fans and developers who didn’t want this change. However, it did seem quite petty to me that people didn’t want to sign up for an account to play a game. This is exactly what you have to do to play any EA game online, and I didn’t see the difference between that and this. It's probably just more that it wasn’t a thing at the start and they instead rolled it out after people had already been playing it for months.

Not to mention Sony sucking up to woke wannabe journalist morons and censuring Stellar Blade one day after launch. Yeah, it has an M rating too. Making loads and loads of people cancelling their PS+ subscriptions.

This game could really blow up. 1-6 player survival title with a sci-fi backdrop inspired by Half Life

When I saw this title I thought it was going to be another thc gummies post 🙈🤪

Just looking at my retro collection the last few days, it's quite brilliant when you consider how old some of it is and how well it has lasted. But it got me thinking, will modern consoles last as well? Will we even be able to play half the games in 20-30 years time when they have turned off servers and you can't get the day 1 patch to make a game playable? Are we just going to have a load of doorstops in a few years time?

I've been doing that for years, I even forget to add some of the good ones as well.

I played and beat Tunic on Xbox Game Pass, fun little game but a bit too hard for me so I had to tone the difficulty right down 🤣 I don’t care for Destiny and I already have EA Sports FC. Really excited about GhostRunner 2 but I still haven’t got around to playing the first one that was on PS Plus a while ago, maybe I push these up the backlog!

There's mooted to be a new map about to drop soon, among order stuff happening at a forthcoming DayZ event. A winter map in Norway possibly but really no-one knows yet. Plus all owners of DayZ who never bought the previous dlc map, Livonia, are being given it for free.

Yes yes, a winter map so I can get a cold faster and die lol. @crispymorgantime to get all the meds.

So we managed to get on this last night, Lee, Tom and once we managed to install the games (the auto downloads did not work for various reasons). Anyway I had a lot of fun with this, it's a very different pace compared to Helldivers, COD etc. I managed to kill Lee with a bomb thinking friendly fire was off, we almost burnt down the ship multiple times, I watched Tom raise the anchor while the ship was in flames all next to him, we also locked Tom in the brig only for him to die and come back as a skeleton (just on my screen apparently). Oh and if your crew mates are drunk definately don't fall off the ship! It runs really smooth and the gameplay is quite simple in all honesty but it was kind of refreshing to play after some of the recent multiplayer games we have been into. There was no pressure to do anything and I think at the end of the session we were just sailing about aimlessly, playing music and just visiting random islands and such. I am quite looking forward to diving back in and unlocking more quests and such.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show, great story lines, compelling characters, great acting, gorgeous landscapes etc. really kept me hooked, reminded me of Witcher season 1 in terms of its watchability. heres to more!

You can put me in too

I’m down for another shot at the title, just got to remember not to pick the bills while drinking again

I saw the first episode yesterday and I've got to say I was pretty impressed, it seems very good and solid with respect to the lore, honestly I have no complaints at all and goggins as a gunslinging ghoul is great!

Interesting little game, currently in development, to keep an eye on : )

@Baabcat Bob, saw this and thought of us! 😂😂
