    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is the prequel chapter of the Legends of the Zone Trilogy. With the ability to directly influence the balance of power through Faction Wars, step into the boots of Scar — a seasoned...

     

     

    Interesting to see that unlike many other of their contemporaries they've chosen not to charge owners of the originals for the upgrades.

    Whilst being away on tour, seeing a few of these playoff games makes me realise I'm glad we aren't in them. Sheff Utd look bang on to win the Championship final. Heartbreak for Cov, but I think its probably better than going to Wembley to get spanked by Sheff Utd and their ex-Cov players.

     

    I really don't know who is going to win between Man Utd and Spurs. I think Forrest Gump said it best...

    No Maddison, no Kulusevski. I'm not hopeful 🙃

    Beta access has begun but I think I'll give it a miss. Final product looks pretty shambolic and about 10 years out of date. Nowhere near the standard that was initially portrayed. A real shame because it's a decent price and a good concept but I'm just not as forgiving with these jank-fests these days. 

     

    I have to agree with you on that. It's definitely got the Dune vibe down but it's too janky, looks like an MMO from 2014 and too similar to games like Conan.

    I think they will work on it so I'll keep an eye on it and maybe further down the line it will tempt me.

    I have options for two games

     

    Bodo/glimt vs Tottenham

     

    or

    United Men vs Athletic club

     

    you all really need better names for these teams, I swear to god

    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 🙈

    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.

     

    The mechanics are good, taking out foes from distance with a bow while crouched is very very satisfying 🤗

  6. 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.

    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've installed it on the PS5 now 😉

    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.

    The main issue is that newly promoted get utterly fucked by FFP rules. We will go up but just won't be allowed to spend any where near the amount that we would realistically need to spend, even though the owners have a lot of money. I think newly promoted should have the FFP rules relaxed a bit for their first season to give them a chance.

    There definitely needs to be some sort of leveller to help newly promoted teams, it's completely unfair as it stands.

    Well, to be fair, Real are probably the biggest cunts in football 😂 I honestly did think Ange would get Spurs back into the fight for top 4 this season after how he did in his first, I know injuries have screwed you guys massively but holy fuck. It just seems like you can’t get any goals and then completely implode and lose over and over. Dunno if it’s a tactical issue, a player issue or if it’s all down to Ange but something does have to change. Just please don’t bring Mourinho back…

     

    I despise Mardrid. PSG much the same but they're more tolerable now that most of the big egos have left. Will be a very good couple of games I think.
