Welcome Kohken, hope you have a good time here. 
I'm sure you will. 

Apparently the game is also being removed from sale this month so this could be last chance saloon to get it as well at a discount. 

That's a great price, glad you posted it. 
Very tempted to pick this up. 

Football Manager 2024 is on sale at Fanatical for £16.42 which is close to the all time highest discount. May not get a better opportunity anywhere to pick this up at such a low price

Hi Kohken,
 
I think I have heard of Nexgen before but can't recall where. I tend to prefer forum's still as I like a good thought out conversation, forum's tend to provide an outlet for that compared to modern day social media. That said some of the cr*p that get's spouted here can be just as bad so I will apologise in advance!
 
There are a friendly bunch here albeit can sometimes be a little quiet as a lot of the group tend to forget the site is more than just the whatsapp groups!
 
But yeah tell us about you and what you are into and such! And welcome!

Hi @Kohken , nice to meet you! No, not heard about those before.
 
You can leave abit more about yourself if you like - such as games you like/dislike and maybe what you're playing now? Hope you enjoy your stay at FG! 😄

How's it going? Tired of bookface so wanted to join a good old fashioned forum, anyone else used to be on the nexgen and digitalhobby forums? 

That was a rocket, and yeah under pressure as well very impressive. 

What a strike. 
 
 

Modric had all the time in the world to take that shot, if anything that just show's how poor some of the Spanish defending is!
 
Iwata's goal for us in the cup against Newcastle was better I think had someone closing him down at least and didn't have time to control the ball before the shot!
 
 

It could've been 2pts but now the gap is 13pts just 5 days later! Arsenal should put all their efforts into the Champions League now but their lack of firepower wont get them very far even against PSV. Not signing anyone in January was fatal and although they've been unlucky with injuries, they should've brought a couple in even on short term loans for the rest of the season. A weaker strike force is better than none. 

What a strike. 
 
 

What a strike. 
 
 

I've also just voted for Driver 1 and 2. There is an unofficial port for the sequel on PC called ReDriver with lots of QoL fixes but I'd love to see both games get revived for retail. Played both on the PS1 back in the day and they were both legendary particularly the original but the texture pop-up was pretty horrendous. 

Go back and add GTA2, I wish I had that to play on SteamDeck. Mowing down hare krishnas never felt so good 🤣

GOG have recently released a new voting tool to help them decide what games to hopefully revive and bring to the platform DRM free. If you have an account, you can simply upvote any game you want to see or even submit your own request. We've seen lately the first two Resident Evil games and Dino Crisis 1+2 return and there are so many other classics like the Silent Hill games that could do with making a return.

I have primarily voted for:-
 
- Black and White
- No One Lives Forever
- Project IGI
- Diablo II
- Silent Hill 2
- Silent Hill 
- Resident Evil Code Veronica X
- Halo Combat Evolved
- The Simpsons Hit and Run
- Grand Theft Auto
- Civilization II
- The Movies
- Dark Souls
- Grand Theft Auto London
 
Not every game can be brought back due to intellectual property complexities along with source codes being lost but some PC classics could easily be revived not just to be DRM free, but also be fully functional out of the box thanks to what GOG do with forwarding optimisation. This would also be the original versions and not some remastered garbage. 
 
 
 

They use AI to 'help develop' in-game assets on their billion dollar franchise. After over a year of accusations and months of persistent denials, thanks to a Steam Store change requiring developers and publishers to disclose such things, the truth has finally been revealed. 
Call of Duty admits it's using generative AI to 'help develop some in-game assets', and suddenly all those poorly made calling cards make sense | PC Gamer
WWW.PCGAMER.COM "Disappointingly, I just grinded for an AI-generated calling card."  
So people are further shelling out £25 a season for generic rewards that were made by a machine and not crafted by an art team. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if we soon found out that the map layouts were done by AI too because no human would've been idiotic enough to design half the maps BO6 has with intent. Also gun camos will probably soon fall under the spotlight as people aren't going to let this go easily without more answers.  
 
Calling cards were always a pretty iconic part of the series and I used to love unlocking them through challenges especially from MW2 to BO2. This news for me just taints the franchise even further and you just can't trust what you're playing has been produced legitimately and to the best standard possible. 

Pivotal weekend of results - Arsenal were expected to go 5pts behind with a game in hand on Liverpool who were expected to lose today. Instead the gap is 11pts as Liverpool beat city and Arsenal lose to West Ham. You thought the tide was turning with Liverpool dropping 4pts on their travels and barely scraping past Wolves, but Arsenal's lack of recognised strikers and some severe out of form players like Saliba and Odegaard has put them way off the pace and you can see them dropping more points in the weeks to come. 
 
Villa managed to sign Rashford and Asensio which is exactly what Arsenal could've done with and they ended up with nothing despite being second in a title race. Could be one of the most fatal mistakes in Premier League history and it's not the first time they've failed to build in January. 

Thanks to @LordBaguette for this. Last-16 draw in full
 
Paris St-Germain v Liverpool
Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid
Feyenoord v Inter Milan
Borussia Dortmund v Lille
Club Brugge v Aston Villa
PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal
Bayern Munich v Bayer Leverkusen
Benfica v Barcelona
 
Good draw for Arsenal and Villa they'll be confident of making the quarters. The all German and Spain games will be interesting and tough to call. Fancy Liverpool, Inter Barcelona and Dortmund for the others. 

I can see Blackburn making it this year especially with all the teams behind being unable to string more than one with together! It'll be tough because there are 4 teams that are probably too good for this league meaning two will be in the playoffs but if Rovers can hold on, anything can happen. Wonder if Eustace will apply for his old job back now🤣

"No Eustace, No problem" is the motto that many Blackburn fans have coined since this mess began. 2 wins in a row, 2 clean sheets, and some very winnable games incoming. I think I'd still be staggered if we make the playoffs personally, but with 13 games to go its a chance that many teams would rarely get these days. They've been galvanised massively with all thats gone on and they seem determined to show everyone else they are good enough.
 
Its a funny one, as I'm not really sure who in the world would take our managerial job still! So many unknowns, its going to be surprising, whoever it is!

Eustace is currently 4-0 down to QPR in his first game. They could be rock bottom come tomorrow and after those games are finished, other teams in and around will still all have a game in hand over them too. They've even fallen into the drop zone tonight with nobody else playing by virtue of goal difference alone. He's got a monumental task on his hands and if he can't keep them up, he'll have a huge job on his hands trying to craft a League One side out of what he's got and what they'll have to spend.
