  1. Dortmund 0-2 Real in the Champions League Final. First half was very entertaining and Dortmund were excellent but you always knew those missed chances and overall dominance would come back to haunt them. Took Real 70 minutes to get going and once they got the first one it was game over. Should've never taken off Adeyemi for Reus as that's when their attacking threat was erased and Reus is basically the Harry Kane-luck equivalent when it comes to winning things. Dortmund must really hate Wembley now - two Champions League finals and two defeats to Spurs there in 11 years🤣
  2. Confirmed for Game Pass day one. This may seem a good deal initially for the consumer but the loss of retail sales could see more aggressive monetisation in play down the line. Also people likely aren't going to keep rolling monthly subscriptions just to play this long term. It may get an early spike at the crippling detriment of other games on the pass but it will never be as viable as it would be just plain selling the game. They could sell 5m copies through their store at $70 a pop making a tidy $350m gross on digital alone or they could have 8m people playing via the pass and if they game gets a cut of $2 per install then it'll net just $16m. The volume of users will also detract from other games and cut-potential so they will throw their other products available on the pass under the bus for a period. Definitely one last throw of the dice of desperation for Microsoft and a borderline nuclear option for the pass. Either way, it's not going to make the revenues needed to claw back their disastrous takeover and the pass isn't going to get anywhere near the quantity of players needed to justify its existence from a business and conceptual standpoint. It's a lose lose situation for MS and their partners alike but it could be a short term win for a minority who just want to play the game for a few weeks or experience the campaign.
  3. Insane that they are still releasing old gen versions. The franchise just keeps on holding itself back.
  4. 'Ellen Droad' radio prank🤣 Radio prank to Absolute Radio after Leeds lost to Southampton | Not... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Not non league related but to end the day on a laugh, some bloke calling up Absolute Radio and requested a song for someone called ‘Ellen Droad’ and...
  5. Leeds 0-1 Southampton Very close game but Leeds just didn't turn up and were too slow to get going. Their playoff curse strikes again! Shame because Southampton away would've been ideal next season for me and them against Portsmouth would've been a great derby to see again. Any other season and Leeds would've won the title with their tally but that's football - top 3 way too strong.
  6. Very exciting recompilation of a classic and could pave the way for more flawless N64 PC ports
  7. So Valve's new MOBA shooter 6v6 game has leaked. Really not sure about this - CS2 is in a state with cheaters and TF2 is in a mess with hackers so releasing a new game that probably should've come out in 2018 may not be the best idea. Their last new IP Artifact which was supposed to dominated the card market for years, died within weeks and this was after a huge development process of time and highly experienced personnel. Really not sure why they aren't looking at Half Life 3, TF3, Portal and L4D3 especially with Source2. This could be another huge flop for a massive company
  8. No Steam, no play. Only making it available on Ubisoft connect immediately kills 95% of your potential reach. Glad it's finally released but I don't have the desire to even try it.
  9. Hope the game is more original than the name
  10. Another bad decision by them. Poch was really turning it around towards the end and you could see them continuing this form into next season. Now they've shot themselves in the foot and will probably have to turn back to Tuchel.
  11. Really looking forward to the Championship Playoff Final but it's just too close to call and will come down to who is best on the day. The gulf between those two compared to Norwich and West Brom was really significant but Leeds and Southampton are too close to call. Saints have won home and away against Leeds this year but both sides have had similar dips in form and good runs. Ipswich went up despite losing heavily to Leeds twice so there's no reason why Leeds can't beat Southampton on the day despite losing to them twice this season. It would be a far worse loss for Leeds though as they were toe to toe with the top two places for the majority of the season but faded at the wrong time. Southampton never looked like getting autos at all but remained up there throughout. Pressure will definitely be on Saints for an immediate return but Leeds will be feeling it more especially with their poor playoff record.
  12. These two live Along with this Block 134 at Wembley is really lucky for me😎 Also on TV England 4-1 v Holland in Euro 96 was absolutely incredible back then but this was the shit

  14. Game now available on PC today minus 180 countries where PSN is not supported.
  15. Not this shit again. We already had the phantom 39th game proposal for years and I don't want to see this shit materialise again. It's bad enough with all these retarded friendlies.
  16. Cancelled after 3 years of development. Another complete waste of time and resources by Ubisoft. It's also mildly funny that they are considering xDefiant a 'bigger opportunity' when they can't even get that out the door for the last 18 months. I've always thought Heartland was a stupid watered-down cash grab and they'd be better off focusing on The Division 3 and more ambitious titles but this is a lot of time they will not get back. Ubisoft Cancels The Division Heartland - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Ubisoft has canceled its upcoming free-to-play shooter, Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland, amid larger plans to focus resources on "bigger opportunities."
  17. More closures expected in the coming weeks but whether they get announced before or after the June showcase remains to be seen. This situation proves that a cull can happen whether you are working on an existing project, and regardless of how successful your previous games are. Everyone kinda knew that the Activision takeover would be the most pointless and damaging in gaming history especially after the Bethesda disaster but I don't think many foresaw how it would ruin so many smaller developers with MS obliterating all their ethics.
  18. A couple of days ago, Sony added another 3 countries to their global delisting taking it to roughly 177. Even though Sony have 'scrapped' the PSN requirement, it seems they have no intention of reinstating the game for sale in the affected regions. Once again, the developer is completely in the dark about Sony's actions and it would appear the latter are simply biding their time as they look for a loophole or backdoor to get around this. This PSN saga is not over and it would suggest they are looking to implement the requirement on new purchasers in regions where Playstation Services are active. I don't think I've seen a developer treated so dreadfully by their very own publishers who clearly have them by the balls.
  19. A lot of articles catalogued and talked about in this video regarding this situation Studio closures to cut costs, failing game pass and Phil Spencer going against everything he stood for. Sounds like an absolute shambles. The fact Bobby Kotick got a near $400m payoff is absolutely nuts. I did predict that all this would happen in the Microsoft/Activision takeover thread and how it would be a catastrophe for gamers and developers. Funnily enough, not even the shareholders are seeing a benefit of it yet! Phil Spencer should probably stand down.
  20. £30 is nuts for an expansion. £15 tops I'd say. Bohemia treating it like it's a new release so they can get that sweet ass pay day.
  21. You can't buy Sea of Thieves and other Microsoft games/products if there is content restrictions in place in a specific region. Microsoft also don't introduce retroactive or newfound restrictions that block access to users paid products. The point with Helldivers 2 is that people bought the game in regions it was distributed to, and then Sony wanted to enforce a mandatory DRM which would've restricted those purchasers in such areas from accessing the game ever again whilst offering no recourse. They'd be locked out of a product they have previously paid and played. If you are in a location where Microsoft don't operate then you will not be able to buy their products or register an account.
