    Only Spurs could lose 2-1 at home to Ipswich and then hammer Man City 4-0 away🤣

    I don't use it much now but I have an iPod Nano which has hundreds of songs on it that doesn't require an internet connection, has a headphone jack, has a battery that would last longer than a day and is so easy to use by its smart design. If I want to do that now with a modern device, I have to use my phone, carry around separate bluetooth headphones, connect to the internet, obtain some subscription service and then drain the fuck out the battery streaming a fraction of songs. Also if I had the time and space, I'd be playing on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The last 10 years of console gaming has been dismal.

    Picked the game up cheap on Gamesplanet for £40 and have just done the prologue. Despite the crazy requirements, the game runs fine on a 3060ti at 1080p with all settings set to maxed out. A few stutters here and there but I may even give this a tweak to see if I can get away with 1440p at high settings. Feels a bit janky and unpolished in places and the characters seem pretty awful but it's definitely got good enjoyment potential. Really wish they didn't have the Ubisoft-type interactive interface elements though and it's annoying you can't mantle over certain basic objects. I'll probably give this a proper crack on Sunday.

    I'm gonna wait for reviews because I am a bit iffy with the extreme system recommendations and potential optimisation issues that could arise. I don't trust the press at all with things like this.

    Disaster launch for Flight Simulator 2024! Currently just 16% positive on Steam because the overwhelming majority of people cannot even get into the game. This is completely inexcusable considering this is a sequel running off the same servers and it's Microsoft's Cloud ones on top. Total humiliation for them and it's a huge kick in the teeth as this is one of the most expensive videogames ever ranging from £70 to £200. So glad I didn't pre-order as I feared these issues especially after the back-end state 2020 was in with their dogshit launcher. The incompetence from Microsoft and Asobo is just insane. 2020 was bad but they got away with it because it was an ambitious title especially from a technical standpoint but this release puts them at square minus one.

    Crazy to think that Harry Kane has competed in the Premiser League, German Bundesleige, German Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, World Cup, European Cup, Champions League and Europa League yet his first career success is getting England promoted in the Nations League - not that even counts🤣 I think he has possibly two more tournaments in him at international level.

    The last game was a huge disappointment and a rather needless sequel but this one looks much better.

    Shocking result from Spurs and another hugely missed opportunity to close in on the teams above and apply pressure. This on top of a bad defeat in Europe during the week too. Rest your players to lose to a team near the bottom and lose is not very good at all. Full credit to Ipswich though - last time they won in the Premier League I think The Office was on TV in its first series🤣

    I met Dane after the West Brom game and he seems a top bloke. Scored a crucial last minute equaliser! He's had a few loans here and there and really struggled to get going, but with us I think he'll really kick on and his goals against Derby and Swansea were also good finishes. He did well against Tuesday against Hull and started over Mark Harris once again but we have about 5 key midfielders out injured right now including Brannagan, Matty Phillips, Placheta, Dembele and Edwards so service is more limited than we hoped but he's really getting stuck in and making things happen. Hopefully he wont get recalled and will get to finish the season here.

    The screenshot you've taken is from a Google keyword cookie-enhanced search which shows a Steam Community discussions entry based on your own browsing behaviour for a priority result. The actual original source which generated thousands of these discussions and results is the same one that provided the Concord information which were 100% correct and verified by the usual suspects like Schreier and co. It's also a pretty credible figure for a triple A game of this nature which has been in development since long before the pandemic so there's no reason not to believe it. Whether it costed $50m or $500m, the numbers are really low especially for such a massive brand. I couldn't care how much it sells though - the game and developers have totally alienated me along with many other longstanding fans with their shambolic out of place writing and obscene online conduct. Ultimately they need the Dragon Age IP to leech off of else they'll end up being another Forspoken, Unknown 9 and Dustborn. That's the sad thing these days - too many iconic brands are being infested by low quality writers who openly hate the people they are supposed to be catering for and in some cases have huge disregard for even the source material and aren't scared to announce it. The OG's left at BioWare who are responsible for the engine have done a superb job with Veilguard but that's all been undone by having such abysmal writers on board.

    I played through GTA 4 again back in June and it's still excellent! I'd say it's aged better than Red Dead. Probably the best story in the entire GTA series with a level of seriousness and some tough decisions to make. Vehicle handling also felt pretty authentic and the missions are great fun! Gonna do the expansions sometime too - they add on another 30+ hours of content. GTA V was completely neglected and wasted in that respect.

    Skyrim has sold over 60m copies and cost £45m to make. It will also have more players in January and throughout 2025 playing than Veilguard will most likely and it's the reason Bethesda existed for the following decade. A game that cost $250,000,000 needs a substantial population not just to make a profit but to remain sustainable especially in today's ruthless climate. I absolutely guarantee that in a few months we will hear that the game failed to meet expectations from EA despite having X amount of players and how it was BioWare's 'biggest' game in years blady blah. Hogwarts Legacy last year had almost 900,000 at peak concurrent and that's where this game could and should've been really. Black Myth achieved 2.4m and that's after the developers had several western left wing smear campaigns thrown at them on top of being blackmailed. Alan Wake 2 last year has been deemed a 'catastrophic failure' despite being an excellent game. It has failed to make a single penny profit even for Epic resulting in Remedy to secure an emergency loan from their minority shareholders in China just to remain in business for the next two years. Failures can happen for several reasons and the entry player counts for the biggest AAA game of the year is very light and that's because it was justifiably bashed on social media for its approach and the conduct of staff that worked on the game. When you alienate longstanding fans online and appeal exclusively to the modern audience then you're gonna get criticised and it will affect sales and wider interest.

    I haven't played it but I've watched several hours of gameplay. I do like the mechanics and it seems fairly polished but the writing is absolutely pitiful and unforgivable. Player counts are also quite low especially considering how massive this brand is and the reach it has. Anything shy of 750,000 concurrent is poor and that barely achieved 10% of on launch. Not sure if it'll even break even at this rate. If the writing was better and it actually resembled a D&D fantasy with some degree of spirit and authenticity then it probably would be a solid game.

    A potentially good game ruined with some of the most amateur, inappropriate and laughable writing ever witnessed. It will join Concord, Dustborn and Unknown 9 as catastrophic failures. The characters look like partial cartoons with shocking lip-sync and animations. The tone is just hideous for a game of this nature and I wish writers wouldn't insert their personal problems and squabbles from Twitter into the story as they think they are the star of the show. Reviews from the mainstream media are also suspicious as hell with several word-for-word sentences strategically inserted into their body of context.

    Studio permanently shut down and there will be no relaunch Sony shuts down Concord developer Firewalk Studios, game will remain permanently offline WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Firewalk Studios, the Sony-owned developer behind ill-fated PlayStation shooter Concord, has been shut down... The most costliest fuck up in gaming history.

    Yep, it's been a culmination of the board signing inappropriate players, wasting big money and not giving managers a chance. It all started with Moyes and over a decade later and it's the same old story. Some of these managers probably haven't even heard of half the signings made by the club and I think it was Ole that had to play players even if he didn't want them in his starting line-up. Jose once even had to ask a player what his name was at the training ground or something ridiculous.
