Activision caught bribing streamers including 3 convicted cheaters for fake trailer reactions😂 this franchise is an embarrassment

I can't believe BO7 isn't even cracking the top 40 on Steam top sellers and it's not doing very well on the PS Store either for pre-orders. It's still early days and people are probably waiting to see how Battlefield fares but these figures regardless are absolutely rancid. The Steam top sellers is also determined by revenue so when you have a £70 game that can't crack the top 40 and is being outsold by income compared to a game that costs $3, the pre-orders must literally sit in the tens of thousands tops for it to be that low down. Even ANNO 1800 being 30 places ahead at $6 is crazy.

Imagine spending $750 on a PS5 Pro and getting a baseline performance output the same as an Xbox 360! Even upscaling with as much slop as possible can't hide how poorly optimised these modern games are compounded with a sheer lack of power and flexibility from the locked hardware.

It certainly looks more refined like Black Ops 3. Not sure what the hell they were thinking with BO6 especially with the stupid movement. They had it nailed down in MW2019 and Vanguard yet they practically made it so flimsy and exploitable in the last game that it just looked and felt ridiculous. I think this will be a similar case to Advanced Warfare where the devs have tried their hardest and produced a reasonably polished game but shocking direction and shite marketing ruins it. Sadly it'll look and feel way more superior to 6 but get ten times the flack.

The developers here are more known for their walking simulators so hopefully they'll be able to deliver on RPG mechanics. Having just played their Still Wakes The Deep game, they certainly know how to build a world and tell a story but I hope the core gameplay has some substance. Not sure why the original game wasn't simply remastered from the ground up though as there would've been many takers for that and the development wouldn't have been half as borked.

I forgot Paradox were publishing this Bloodlines fans rage as Paradox locks 2 playable clans behind $30 DLC: 'Is Paradox smoking crack?' | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The finish line is finally in sight, yet Bloodlines 2 is somehow still tripping over its own feet. The game will probably cost £500 after you've bought all the DLC.

Great to see they have a release date finally. This game was cancelled and then rebuilt from scratch and all this must have happened before the pandemic because it feels an age. Not expecting much but anything half decent will do.

Treyarch haven't been the same since David Vonderhaar departed and even he knew he had to jump ship away from this shitshow before his legacy was destroyed. To think him, Jason Blundell and Dan Bunting were replaced by these blabbering buffoons of waffle drivel is just painful to think about. Even Josh Olin must be thinking what the utter fuck are they yapping on about for 20 minutes at a time without actually saying anything. This isn't as mortifying to see as what 343 have done with Halo but it's bloody close. Nice to see them still looking to recycle all of the classic maps they've already brought back 5-6 times already. This has to be the most generic, soulless and pathetic excuse of a live service game imaginable. That's certainly the way the developers are selling it to me.

One of the weakest reveals ever last night. Many words were spoken but nothing much was said. Haven't heard such generic waffle in all my life.

What an absolute load of shite. £70 too

According to a credible leak, two additional maps coming at launch will be bigger which is good news. We already know Operation Firestorm is a good size so all eyes on the remaining two. Hopefully these bigger environments aren't too cluttered so land vehicles can breathe and we have some channels to work into. I hope Eastwood isn't lifted from the battle royale mode though. Played a game on OF earlier and it was epic. This is proper Battlefield and I never really experienced that feeling in the beta

I tried the new map on the BF6 beta and it's very small once again - possibly the smallest so far and there is no vehicles even in conquest. It's pretty chaotic with players often bunching and running around aimlessly and you can be killed in many directions. Even spawning on a flag can see you spawn well outside of the radius and literally within shot of an enemy. This feels more like a 48 player map tops and plays like a domination match. This basically means I have played on half of the maps available in the final game with 3 being overly small and the other being a linear-medium one. I'm worried they are going to get old fast because after less than 5 hours in the beta, I'm pretty burned on all of them aside from the new one and there isn't one standout game I have played in that feels dramatically different with a shift of class or strategic approach. The new map does look half decent

Still Wakes the Deep

Just had a game on BF4 and it was great! Not a huge population as people are still playing BF6 but there are still a few servers knocking about and it's tremendous fun.

He'll never walk alone that's for sure. That was a wheely stupid thing to do first game of the season.
