That's been the problem in this franchise for so many years now. They thought competitive was the way forward (along with wallrunning and outer space) when 99% of users are casual and not even a nosedive in sales and player counts couldn't hit home that this isn't what people wanted. The brand has failed miserably with the competitive focus so instead of writing it off; they've copied every other game in the last few years in one last ditch attempt but it will be the same old story I think; only this time, the competitive-heavy format will put people off entirely from purchasing. The series cannot get a foothold in the eSport arena and it makes very limited revenue from streams which is why nobody plays it. How hard is it to make a military-themed 6v6 FPS with boots on the ground with real weapons, equipment and vehicles FFS without having to add farcical features such as superhero abilities, knee sliding, OP weapons and cartoony gadgets. This picture springs to mind again:

The one positive about this is that you wont run into a troll team all running the same specialist - 5 players all with deployed shields headglitching would be pure hell! I do think this game could have a lot of exploits attributed to the fundamental design and that's something that simply can't just be patched out or changed easily when it's nailed down like the health regen.

Badass! Great to see a production company not having to rely on green screens and doing it properly.

7 Days to Die is a good shout from Phil and is a bargain here at £7 https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/7-days-to-die-pc-steam-cd-key

Bad week for Sterling - turns up late for training, found to have a tattoo of an M16 assault rifle and now gets booked for diving against Nigeria in a friendly. It'll be interesting to see how he does in the World Cup after such a terrible tournament last time. He has improved for City under Guardiola from when he was at Liverpool but I think he's been heavily carried by the rest of the team. He has a lot to prove to justify his price tag and starting in the World Cup. Last thing we want is another Theo Walcott.

Haha yep! These 3 games have all recently come out of early access so the prices have shot up sadly but hopefully there will be some decent discounts on them in the Steam Sale. The Forest is still attractively priced at £15.49 though but Ark went up to £49.99 which is a massive jump. That game is decent and very similar to Conan. Subnautica is £19.49 which is a pretty good price also so if you want something now, The Forest and Subnautica are still great purchases at full whack but Ark at £50 is too much even being a good game.

Looks like Tony has been on the Kronenbourgs again but it's an interesting theory. If Henderson is gonna fit in, I'd rather see him sitting deeper than playing a more creative role with Alli and co. I'd go for a more 3-1-4-2 formation. Our defence's pace probably wont be a problem but the speed of our mental awareness could be the issue and players like Kyle Walker who couldn't even handle Will Grigg and John Stones could get torn apart in the blink of an eye. We'll be then relying on Jordan 'concedes 3 goals a game and is still our best goalkeeper' Pickford to bail us out.

Ark Survival Evolved is a very good choice and is similar to Conan Exiles but is set on a tropical backdrop with dinosaurs. You can play solo with PvE . The Forest is another good PvE experience set on an island - it's just come out of early access to very positive reviews too. Subnautica is another fine game set in the ocean which is highly rated. These games should all be in the Steam sale in 3 weeks too!

Exactly. You could land 6 hits against a user with 150 health and not kill them then they shoot you once in the shin with a sniper and you die. They can then press L1 and heal straight to 150 in a second whilst you have to respawn. The quick ADS and high rate of fire on the snipers (lol) will make it easier than ever for quickscopers. Just imagine having a couple of snipers headglitching using the specialists deployable wall shield over an objective with medic health boosters behind them - they'd be nigh-impossible to kill and any hits you land they can counter with an instant health regen. The amount of potential exploits in this game is very concerning.
-
It's 25% off but even that's no different to the discount on offer on the likes of GMG when the game was released sadly. With the summer sale just 3 weeks away, it may only get reduced to 33% off - just depends on how the game performs now against a tougher discount window with even more titles on offer. I'd struggle to even be interested at 50% in all honesty!
-
I didn't get it in the end and the more reviews I see, the more glad I didn't. Doesn't seem a bad game but lots of bugs and flaws still persist it seems. Seems worth getting if you are a huge fan of Warhammer and have friends who also have it but other than that, it seems a comfortable pass even at such a reasonable price.

150 health but snipers are OHK anywhere on the body it seems. Treyarch toned down sniping in BO1 after MW 2 but they upset so many quickscopers that ever since, sniping has been prominent and very easy. Even without aim assist now, sniping looks easy to pull off still. The one thing that's worse than getting killed by a quickscoper is having quickscopers on your team going 5-23 trying to get that montage clip. The fact that the maps are so fucking small now, there is no logic to having snipers in the game at all other than for the premise of quickscoping which is not using the gun as intended - this was an SOH exploit from the old MW days that for some reason has been carried through numerous COD games when it should have been eliminated and not encouraged. Most of the quickscope community are now grown up or are playing Fortnite and have long abandoned Call of Duty. They don't need to be catered to anymore.
-
I'm expecting it to be as it has been in all the Black Ops games and Treyarch are quite thorough with their features.
-
They are also doing VR from the stands which should be good. Get your mate on the sofa to repeatedly punch you in the face for that additional Russian immersion!
-
Oh yeah silly me🙄 Just hope to god it's not a card game or another shelter one. Don't trust Bethesda much these days!
-
Where's the other 72 games then?
-
PC only so far it seems.
-
Coming to PC later this year - it's an grand online multiplayer shooter set in real locations. Too early to call yet but this is what BFV should've been and the trailer is better at the very least!

Can you sue on the grounds of 'sour grapes' I wonder? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44287860

Summer is always shit and then towards the end of the year 10 games come along at once and it becomes a nightmare to fit them all in. Thank god for the World Cup I'd say! I think developers and publishers don't think it's viable to release major games in this season due to the downturn in players because they are under the age old assumption that sun equates to people going outside at all times. This is a great period to start a big game or one that lasts weeks. I did The Witcher 3 last year which was an incredible experience and people should try God of War as that's one of the finest games ever created. I've only got Detroit Become Human on my shopping list and that may only do me a week for £50 so I'm a bit hesitant in getting it. Just wish more companies would take advantage of this quiet window as they underestimate how many people still rely on new games and wonder why their games sell poorly at peak times when there's too much on offer.

Arsenal look to be signing 34 year old Stephan Lichsteiner and £16m rated Sokratis Papastrathopolus. I can definitely see Arsenal finishing 1st place with those players. By first I mean top in their Europa League group!

Don't look like Bale will be returning https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44281572 Man Utd will probably offer him a 4 year deal at £750,000 a week and he'll probably be shit for them and want to leave after a fortnight.

BioWare are the definitely the biggest babies in gaming who just cannot take criticism.

I don't think he can change from Wales to Germany 😎😉
