Winning at Millwall away first day of the year can’t be bad😎

Hi I'm Gary, I met @Greboth @Diddums @techno at the motorcycle show

Confirmed to be in development 10 years on from the original Alien: Isolation 2 Confirmed - IGN WWW.IGN.COM On the 10-year anniversary of Alien: Isolation’s release, developer Creative Assembly has confirmed that a sequel is in development. A good watch after IGN's infamously terrible 5.9/10 review

So, just wondering if there would be any interest in seeing if we can come up collectively with an FG top 10 must play games list? Currently thinking the format along the lines of everyone puts a list down of say 5 games each, we then all have to put them into priority and then each position get's a set number of points i.e. if I put the Witcher 3 top, then Fifa (heaven forbid) second then Witcher 3 would say get 10 points and then Fifa 9 and so on and so on. Would that interest people or am I shouting into the wind? 😄 I would then look at doing a short write up for each game in the top 10 so if anyone has comments to say about any of their nominations, memories and such put them in the post and I could look to use them in the write ups.

Theres always been WhatsApp groups, Brede. I can't stop them. If you look back a few years ago, I tried to embrace everything for the sake of all. Discord, WhatsApp, FB and anything else you can think of. We're likely nearing that cycle again of basically me tearing it all up and bringing it all back...but part of me after the last two times would just love it if people wouldn't be so lazy in life. I feel the pressure myself and I can't lie. If I'm not doing events, sending messages, thinking of ideas to get people to play games, no fucker does. Well, some do, but when they realise they get not much joy after a few times, they give up. I don't blame them - I suppose I'm the only one who's decided to do that for 10 years here. I'm now nearly 40, so life does change and evolve. But I wanted FG to be FG for all, not FG that is a check in cos Lee asked them to. There is always ways to rejuvenate the place. But people have to WANT to do that. And before anyone asks, god I've tried multiple ways to get people involved, drafting ideas of different roles, changing forums around to accommodate stuff, etc. Nothing has stuck so far, otherwise it wouldn't just be me. We all have the gift of sorting this out. And I'll still be me trying to find ways of doing that, but I also know that the ones that don't want to, won't want to until they fully have an epiphany and maybe if I say FG closes for good? Who knows. I just don't think a bold statement like that should ever be needed when I know there's 100 odd regular FGers that could be active and they don't. How many times do I have to say that if we were all active and took a tiny interest each day, then it would actually be the best place on the internet cos so many would be chipping in n loads of different stuff. I suppose this thread was eventually going to tip me. I'm super conscious I haven't updated my PPR in months and I'm usually the one that says practice what you preach. I think I'm gonna give myself grace just this once for the past 10 years. If you have some bright ideas, please shout up. Its always worth reading the whole of site info and announcements though first. You'll see about 4000 posts from me (no lie) about getting people together in lots of ways. Pick one and run with it. I love this god damn place. I just paid £150 for the software for the next year again and it wasn't even a thought of not doing that. ❤️🖤 Aww man, Brede. You made me go there 🥲. Now see what happens this weekend ffs 🤣 *rolls up sleeves ready for a war*

Hello again! My beautiful FG family, I've gone through a bit of a tumultuous time and took a step back/break from gaming and subsequently FG . I am finally back in a good mental space so I've returned. For those who don't know me (or don't remember... 😅) I am Stephen from Ireland, I have 2 kids one of them with Autism and I play on PS5 . When I get the chance I play helldivers , COD , Fifa and Battlefield. I am looking to get into Hell let loose and Vigor if anyone is up for it .

Apologies for the video quality but it was quite a while ago. St Etienne had a certain Mr Platini playing for them. This was my first "European Tour" and it was almost a bucket list destination. That was after hearing the "Green Roar" against Liverpool FC on a tinny tranny in the '70's. The green roar was quite muted as the game went on and the home support melted away as the fourth goal went in IIRC the away support for that match was about 400. The coach trip was 18 hours each way with two drivers hot shopping. Despite all the fan problems of the time, there wasn't a single arrest at any of our EUFA Cup away games.

First post will keep the running total and then each week I will put up the weeks stats in a new post 🙂 Hopefully get a few of us back on here keeping an eye on it, see who comes top and maybe get us chatting on here a little more. It also gives us a little more to clubs again as we have a decent regular group! So here are the running totals (which is essentially game week 5) -

Lampard to taking over as Coventry head coach will be entertaining for certain 🤪

Tarkov and being busy in general have conspired to keep me away from this game. But I have done about half the campaign and it's the best one in years for me.

Only 2 so far but I've been very late into starting Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. What a clean fucking game

I had no idea there was a retro game called England International Football and assumed you were on here to moan about the performance against Greece the other night 🤣

Surprised not to see a thread about this one. Went to see it tonight courtesy of a good friend, and it is hands down the best Deadpool film yet. Some of the surprises are absolutely fantastic. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't see this one on the big screen. 9/10 for me.

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 🖤👊

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!

Thought he was a brilliant actor, but such bad luck with his health in recent years. He was immense in Tombstone

Spurs have some money, they could of brought in a defender and an attacker already. I mean aside from the injuries, Ange needed a bit more depth. Aside from his style and tactics, the players are cooked mentally and physically. Levy on the other hand. 24 years, 16 managers and 1 trophy. Conte, Mourinho, poch are all very good managers and won nothing. At least those 3 had a Harry Kane, a luxury Ange doesn't have. I think people know how Ange likes to play. With Romero and VDV you can get away with it. Without them they are leaking goals and leave too much open space. If spurs play more defensively, they will get called boring.

Got my diamond ARs 4 out of 6 gold SMGs 1 out of 3 LMGs gold 1 out of 4 Pistols gold

Some lazy fuckers in the community need to post more and support their community. Costs nothing 🙂 that's my 2024 feedback, you're welcome 🤣

CDs are coming back out for me. The ease of Spotify and streaming music is great for certain scenarios but if I'm chilling at home in the shed, then a CD in the background is a far better option as its a choice to do something you want to do specifically rather than get a curated playlist continually retune your needs. ooo I'd love to see tapes make a comeback! Probably not worth the hassle unfortunately but would be ace to play on the odd occasion. As we love games, I'll obviously say all my old consoles and handheld devices are a great alternative for an evening of gaming. Makes you appreciate the gaming industry, especially when lately it feels like new good games are a thing of the past. Actually, to finish I'd also say one more thing...I got Hayley a Tamogochi for Christmas! 🤣 They were ace back in the day, just to pass abit of time. These days we use continuous never ending free games on our phone but this feels like a cool way to get off those things to help you back into the real world and not lose too much time into the those awful mobile games.

If I'm on my own it's hardcore with FG core. I play what ever map Is on.

0-4 away from home against city not enough ey?

Just going to come in quietly, leave this here and slip away again 😎

I tend to take internet opinions with a pinch of salt. So much online now is just clickbait for views and clout. And nothing feeds the algorithm more than fear or anger. But yes, I'd say if they dropped the name Dragon Age and made it clear it was being pitched at a teen audience there probably wouldn't have been so much drama around it. Just call it Veilguard, that's a decent name for a game all by itself.

I actually really enjoyed the campaign on this COD! I thought quite a few of the levels were brilliant!

Lies. You're sitting on 4 headshots and you know it

I've got the first camo for the XM4.

So I had not picked this up as intended originally and have now finally bought it with it coming out on consoles. It isn't cheap mind but I have a bit of a void at the moment in that a lot of games aren't quite capturing my attention and I am waiting for a couple to be released. So picking this up and so far it's every part the MMO however it's quite pretty, the story seem's decent so far and I am quite enjoying it, you can see where it take's it's inspiration from mind. As I put a few more hours in I will provide a more detailed write up but just thought I would open up the conversation and see if anyone else has played this at all?

All really great choices so far! In the interest of not picking the same games (I would have picked The Last of Us) I am going to pick the following: - God of War (2018) - Resident Evil 7 - Zelda Breath of the Wild - Uncharted 2 - Portal (1&2 - is that cheating 🤣) Picking just one of the portal games is hard! The first game is so iconic and brilliant, but the second game is definitely better!

These one's most people would have played. Some are for the story and some for the game play. Last of us. Days gone. Skyrim. Mortal kombat x. Alien isolation.

are both games myself and GF are looking forward to! Hopefully I’ll hear good things in your reviews about the rest and on here on FG!

I mean my main hobby is video games hence being here 🤣 Other hobbies - I enjoy podcasting now, which gives me an outlet to talk all things video games! I watch a lot of football (haven’t played in a very long time), and like to keep up with the Basketball when I can! Maybe I should take up another hobby 🤣! Having kids means it’s hard to find the time for 1 hobby let alone more!

So there is Whatsapp groups? This almost killed this forum a few years back, and I thought people agreed to use the forum and not chat groups. I thought this might be the issue again, with the low activity in the past months/year..

I've fucking caved and pre ordered it ... Fuck my life hahaha

Asked this to a few people it’s kind of a hard question to word. What game do you think you were best at during your life? As in skill wise what game do you think was the game you were the best at?. Doesn’t matter age wise just any game any age Ill never be better than how good I was at Halo 3 when I was 15-16

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?

Halo 3 and the original MW2 was probably my heyday in FPS - young enough to both have the time to play silly hours of it and the reaction time also. Though the game I was best at, probably a shock to no-one, is Gran Turismo sport. I've put a lot of time in to other GT games and countless other racing games but GT Spot was the one I probably got the fastest and consistently fast in due to the FG leagues meant I played it the most.

1.0 is on stable tomorrow 7/25! It's been 12 years of Alpha, shall we @Diddums @GazzaGarratt @Plumbers Crack @crispymorgan @RenFengge @Tar-Eruntalion @Greboth @Ajay @phil bottle?

Yes 100%, he’s one of my favourite people not just to work with but just in general. He’s so down to earth and just a lovely human being. What he’s done for cinema is amazing, I still don’t think most people realise that.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS REAL!! As a huge Gears fan, this is a dream game for me!! Don’t get me wrong, I was hoping and expecting Gears 6, and I still want that game eventually, but I am so hyped for this prequel! I have a lot of questions such as what and who are they going to use as the ‘main boss’, it obviously can’t be RAAM. Also, the first Gears game starts with Marcus in prison, so will this game end with that happening? It’s 14 years before the original game so I assume not, and assume it will focus on the first few days after E-Day? Either way, from the trailer it looks like they may be going back to the series roots and I really hope they are. Hearing the Mad world tones in the trailer gave me serious goosebumps! Couldn’t be more hyped for this game!!!

Dortmund 0-2 Real in the Champions League Final. First half was very entertaining and Dortmund were excellent but you always knew those missed chances and overall dominance would come back to haunt them. Took Real 70 minutes to get going and once they got the first one it was game over. Should've never taken off Adeyemi for Reus as that's when their attacking threat was erased and Reus is basically the Harry Kane-luck equivalent when it comes to winning things. Dortmund must really hate Wembley now - two Champions League finals and two defeats to Spurs there in 11 years🤣

My step-dad still has a signed photo of Martin Johnson holding the trophy in the living room!

Bolton 0-2 Oxford - what a day!

Never seen so many pints thrown in the air 😂

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.

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