    I don't like the new UI. May change the parameters so I can revert back to the old friend list and chat menu style and then await for a new skin to be created in the community. Don't like the new bar either although they've finally removed login name and replaced it with profile name instead which was a long time coming and will help protect streamers. The system was fine before so there was no need to fix something that wasn't broken and the UI hasn't exactly improved. People are understandably raging in the forums.

    I have no idea what a javelin is other than what Steve Backley used to throw in the Olympics but this looks a bit mediocre in terms of character variety and depth. I'm not expecting much from BioWare these days but gimme something to get excited about.

    Just seen that Grand Operations; BF5's flagship mode will not be available on release. So EA are charging people extra money to play the game early and it wont even be finished as it is🤑

    Chelsea sign 38 year old keeper Rob Green. May as well give them the title now😎 Fulham sign World Cup winner Andre Shurrle down the road in comparison...

    Anyone use these? Perfectly legal but morally questionable in the eyes of some. I've been using Project64 to play GoldenEye and Perfect Dark recently and seeing that I own both these games twice over, my conscience is clear😃 The only thing that really flirts with legality is the sites making available the ROM's (games) and even worse, if they are making any form of profit from it i.e site advertising. I'm looking at doing the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild with the Cemu emulator. The game looks astonishing on PC in 60fps, overhauled shader caches and texture improvements. Setting up the emulator is easy but executing the game takes some doing by the look of things though. I think I would want to compensate if I did play the game this way so I would likely buy a Wii U copy of the game even if it remains sealed. Just not willing to buy a console just to experience one game. Nintendo have been in the news about this recently as they continue to battle ROM sites - it's a losing battle really and whilst I don't condone piracy or people who profit from this; I wish Nintendo work with emulator creators rather than trying to plug something that will never be made illegal. They could easily licence their catalogue to an emulator and then charge full price and take 90% of the income leaving the site with just 10% and it still would be a good deal all round. Piracy I don't condone at all but I'm beginning to appreciate emulators more and the work that goes into them.

    Aberdeen 1-1 Burnley last night in the Eurovision Song Contest trophy. Nothing major but it's nice to see proper football slowly returning.

    EA won E3. Their centerpiece title; Command and Conquer Rivals for Mobile will revolutionise modern gaming and will be a trillion dollar franchise. So glad they spent over 20 minutes promoting that instead of major AAA titles like Battlefield 5.

    It's coded into the game to keep races competitive because the AI is brainless. I'd expect this in Mario Kart and not a serious racer but Ubisoft would rather do it the easy way rather than improve their AI and have genuine races that aren't influenced by fabricated factors.

    I couldn't get over the fact the game wont have PvP until Christmas - really don't like this games that ship now and patch later. Rubber-banding and brainless AI was the problem for me - kills the immersion completely. Apparently to exit the game you have to press Y or Triangle on controller B on the keyboard and then navigate a palaver of menus to quit. Another dreadful example of games as a service where they can't even implement an exit game properly but everything else regarding XP, in-game purchases and filler is all fine. I praise the games scale and ambition and it does look fantastic but in gameplay terms it's pretty generic and the voice acting is probably the worst ever seen. I'd say the original shaded it but The Crew 2 will likely plummet in price in the next couple of months so it may be worth it then just before MP kicks in.

    Dude wanted Duty instead of booty!?

    It's the Microshit Store! I have Forza Horizon 3 and its a great game and incredibly well optimised I may not get this by virtue of the store alone. Their file compression is non-existent so games are like 1/3 or 50% more than what they should be and their content servers are very slow to download from. Definitely not buying an Xbox just for that game either.

    I'm gonna try this tomorrow

    I pretty much agree with the list except for the spelling on Kane. It's borderline Kanye😎

    This game is basically Fallout Online. The series is purely a single player RPG but now they are drifting down a dangerous route of PvP only. Could be a massive success or a huge frustrating failure.

    Less than two weeks until the Football League kicks off😎

    If they carry on with The Division 2 where the first game ended, then it should be a great game right off the bat with a clear gameplay direction and lots of features. If it launches in a fairly threadbare and unspectacular state like Destiny 2 did; it'll be the same old story where people play it, max the level cap in a couple of weeks and then probably never play it again whilst the devs are working round the clock to salvage the game. I'm fairly optimistic about this one though.

    How many editions are they going to release of this piece of shit?
  19. J4MES OX4D
    This post raises more questions than I could provide answers but I honestly don't know where to begin😎

    These guys were massive a decade ago - shame they aren't popular anymore as most of their songs were very catchy and entertaining

    New Xbone?

    Microsoft have more consoles that good games now😎 The 360 was a brilliant console with a remarkable online platform and plenty of groundbreaking franchises like Halo and Gears of War. This gen has been a total fuck up from start to finish - first they release a VHS player with restrictions that they back-tracked on like pre-owned games. They then abandoned Kinect despite having millions of unsold Kinect bundles. The console was incredibly underpowered and couldn't run old games like BF4 in full HD. They failed to invest in any in-house developement teams and instead used money to claim exclusives like Titanfall and Quantum Break which were both mediocre. Their solution to mounting problems was to release more powerful consoles but not address any pressing problems that have existed for years. All they did this year was acquire 4 indie studios working on low-budget games for their overpowered console. Bloody disaster all round.

    Liverpool complete the signing of Boris Becker's sister Alisson for £66m.

    I think we should use the Duty Calls ranking system instead😎
  24. J4MES OX4D
    Yeah, those things were interesting but I don't think developers found much use for them in the end. Bit strange at the time that a 128bit console would have some gimmick like that and there just weren't much use for them other than a storage device.

    Crazy Taxi was awesome! I also had the epic Shenmue, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Sonic Adventure, Hidden and Dangerous, Aerowings, Soul Calibur, House of the Dead 2 w/lightgun, UEFA Striker, Virtua Tennis, Metropolis Street Racer, Ferrari F355 Challenge, Tokyo Xtreme Racer plus more that I can't remember. I'm still searching for an original version of Half Life which was unreleased on the console despite some copies being produced. One of my friends spent a fortune on a copy from a former writer at a UK magazine who still had possession of the game when it was cancelled despite the full game being sent out to reviewers.
