MrBiron got a reaction from J4MES OX4D in Battlefield 6
I'm hoping this is basically BF4 2.0. That is IMO the best BF to date.
They're doing a big MP reveal event on July 31st and leaks suggest the beta will launch straight afterwards or the following weekend. The also accidentally gave away the release date which is October 10th.

Love it. One on the watch list for me soon then. I'd mainly be buying it for the PvE operations but I'm sure taking a look at PvP is worth a few tries at the very least.

MrBiron reacted to J4MES OX4D in Perfect Dark
I actually think he's worse than Don Mattrick now - he only butchered one console, but Spencer is literally playing Russian roulette with every decision they make and as you say, shamefully bragging about the success in literally the next paragraph after statementing a commercial travesty. Phil was popular because he was seen as more of a gamer than a corporate, but now he's immensely unpopular and can't even be seen as a scapegoat because it's all his doing.
Huge acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision that wont even pay themselves off in my lifetime and having to penny-pinch against the very developers they proport to support to keep game pass relevant is just a total shit show to behold. The problem is they want desperately one console generation where they get ahead of Sony and they just can't come close and now everyone, from developers to the consumers is suffering. Sony ain't doing much better as they will likely burn a billion on dead live service projects in a decade at the expense of many exclusives but Microsoft are the ones that are gutting their gaming division to save money through bad choices they have made.
How they fuck up so hard after the 360 I will never know.

Another video game crash can't come soon enough IMO.
These big publishers seem to think that gamers have an unlimited amount of money so they promise shareholders that profits will climb every year. Which obviously isn't possible as there are only a limited amount of players and money. This means that when profits don't go up they sack staff to save money. It's not even unbelievable that MS can sack staff and then Phil Spencer bangs on about how great they're doing as it's just the norm now. It's very believable that they did it.

MrBiron reacted to GazzaGarratt in Siege X
@TheMuggySpud will deffo play this I'm sure. I know Hector, Rob and Josh from the States still do too.
I'd probably have to organise a night to be free as I don't think its just a pick up and play for an hour mode. Siege has never been that!

MrBiron reacted to GazzaGarratt in Siege X
This does look like they've gone down an interesting road. I think Siege unfortunately suffers from what many existing live service games have - ability to be a really good game...but only when you've learned all the characters and the maps, otherwise its a steep curve to get success.
I'd like to give it a go though and its a good thing some of the options are free to play too!

MrBiron reacted to J4MES OX4D in Bungie's Marathon
Bungie have today announced that Marathon has been delayed indefinitely and a new release date will be issued towards the end of the year. Honestly, I'd probably just cancel it altogether and cut the losses. A 6 month delay at the very least wont give them enough time to replace all the stolen assets, reshape the gameplay into something engaging and appealing, plus deliver a long-term strategy where the game remains viable for both players and publisher.

MrBiron reacted to J4MES OX4D in Black Ops 7
I think Black Ops 7 is supposed to have wallrunning and all that mumbo jumbo. The franchise does need a bit of a shake-up even if it does go back to that unpopular type of mechanics. It's just a shame they have to bleed the brands to death because they can't be creative and come up with something fresh.

Congratulations dude 💪❤️

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've been playing this and it's fantastic. Miles better than Doom Eternal and on par with Doom 2016. The combat is satisfyingly meaty.

That's the reason why I rent any game that I can't get on Game Pass. I'm not paying £60-70 for a game.

It'll give them time to release a newer remaster for the PS5 Pro now.

MrBiron got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Black Ops 6
I've been playing this quite a lot recently and quite enjoying it.
I still think some of the maps are utter shit. I've changed my mind on Subsonic as I now don't mind it. I will always back out of a game if Nuketown, Payback or Derelict are chosen. Dealership has become a favourite map of mine.

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.

We will have more money to spend than Burnley. I just hope the new owners fully back Farke and give him what he wants. Both time he got promoted with Norwich he wasn't given much money so I'd like to see how well he can do in the PL.
-
MrBiron reacted to phil bottle in Football (Played with Feet)
Leeds and Burnley both have a chance of staying up, just look at Forest. But I'd say whatever team wins the playoffs and joins you will be a relegation candidate from day one...

I'm currently playing through this and I'm enjoying it. If you like AC games then you'll like this one. It's absolutely beautiful as well.

Console only crossplay is coming with Season 3. That's a great move IMO.
