    I may grab Game Pass for £1 just to do the campaign again. I did play it a couple of years ago using a *cough emulator but I'm tempted to see how this Ultimate Edition remaster will run. Game running on Unreal 3 is just pure laziness - I didn't even realise until @MrBiron mentioned it - I actually thought it was a UE5 slop job but they were so lazy, they basically did a direct port of a direct port of a 20 year old game.

    I grabbed this for £42 on Game Thor which is a great site - there was no way in hell I was paying £70 especially for a shot-for-shot remake. Completed the Virtuous Mission part and they've definitely done a great job with the visuals and cutscenes. Controls take some getting used to and there is some annoying collision issues with bodies on the floor though. Unreal 5 once again proves itself as a dogshit engine and Tim Sweeney today has come out and blamed all the developers for problems across the entire portfolio of games that utilise it.

    Game is out now but the reception has been pretty mild particularly on PC. Just sheer laziness from Microsoft piggybacking a shite port rather than do a trilogy from the ground up like how MCC and Mass Effect Legendary was done. Feels like this was just done to wet the appetite of PS5 users in time for E-Day next year with it being a prequel but for £40 it really is a shite offering.

    It's going to be a very interesting season and I think Arsenal's depth could be key for them but it'll be interesting to see where Liverpool are at with some big departures and incomings. Chelsea aren't quite there yet but they should be better placed to compete for top 4 and Man City will be up there but I can't see them winning it or even getting near the top 3. At the other end, I think West Ham are going to have a very challenging season but for the first time in a very long time, I think the promoted sides may be better placed to survive unlike previous years. Unbelievable pressure for Arteta to deliver this season though - over £1bn spent in his tenure and still only the FA Covid Cup to show for it and that was with Emery's squad. I don't even think the FA Cup and League Cup would be good enough to suffice - it has to be the League and/or the Champions League. Not many teams blow through that sort of rate and win less than Leicester. City were nailing the treble off the back of multiple titles and trophies in which Arteta played a huge part in that with Pep so the expectations will be insane but I think they are well-placed this year to do something.

    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.
  10. J4MES OX4D
    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.
  11. J4MES OX4D
    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.
  13. J4MES OX4D
    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.
  15. J4MES OX4D
    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
  18. J4MES OX4D
    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

    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.
  21. J4MES OX4D
    He'll never walk alone that's for sure. That was a wheely stupid thing to do first game of the season.
  22. J4MES OX4D
    Yeah, there's 8 maps (6 small ones est) and then one more with Firestorm. That will be the most popular by a mile I bet and then we gotta hope that every map after that they release will be similar in philosophy. If they release one map every two months then people are just going to walk away. I wish it was like BF4 where you would get a brand new regional map pack. I think it had a total of 34 maps in a year which was insane considering how top quality the majority were. I'll be stunned if we get to 15 in a year on BF6 and I'm expecting more shoeboxes post-launch rather than blockbuster landscapes. They'd be better remastering a chunk of BF3/4 maps if they can't handle the work.

    It's definitely a good game for Call of Duty players and ones that didn't play Battlefield in its golden era. Another small, linear urban map released today which means we've literally played half the original maps available in the final game and we are yet to actually see a true battlefield. I will probably pick this up for the campaign and because I can still get 20-30 hours out of the multiplayer but I honestly can see myself getting bored as Conquest plays more like domination and matches just blur into one. I went back to Battlefield 4 last year and it was just breathtaking how spectacular everything is even to this day. The map variety, quality and mechanics made for one hell of an experience that has never been repeated, not even in Battlefield since. I'm hopeful this game can get close to those glory days and it has come a long way after the travesty of 2042 but if they end up losing 80% of their players to Call of Duty a month later then a lot of their design choices will have been in vain at the expense of loyal fans.
