This looks hilariously shite. The most blatant ripoff of Overwatch which is available in China.

Jesus christ. How can you go from this.. to this.. ..and be 'happy' with the way you look!? She now looks like a 60 year old heroin addict and probably just as healthy as one too. Wonder if the John Inverdale comments from a while back brought this on as his seemingly 'harmless' comment was blown up big time in the media Just terrifying and sad to see someone go this way and believe there's nothing wrong.

Two of the worst trailers I have ever seen for a movie Another classic destroyed!

Another piss poor England display IMO. So pedestrian, untidy and predictable throughout. Hope not to see Henderson again in an England shirt and he was one of many who were straight up mediocre. They really need to raise their game particularly for better opposition as this was a typical tournament display against weaker opposition. Watched quite a bit of the Wales game on the side and they were a class above and won the game within 20 minutes. Far more fluid and effective play.

I'm only eyeing Dark Souls III and the chances of that getting a decent discount are minimal. I'm still living in hope of 40% off Sales have been garbage since they removed flash sales for consistent pricing as what you see if what you get on day one with no surprises or new deals coming in. I'm just looking forward to seeing what stupid mini game they have this year

Looking good

Just hope we ain't lost too many tits and arses in the T&A thread Why you posting from a new account Phil? Don't tell me you've been deleted also

Yep, just seen my FIFA 17 thread which was completely empty and then I made one new post and it double posted for some reason

Further proof that Activison has absolutely zero confidence in their game. With so much hate directed at Infinite Warfare so far and the fact that pre-orders are at an all time low; holding back the most essential part of the product until two months before release is just going to sour the situation further. Not even the MW:R bait is working. If they were proud of Infinite Warfare on its own merits; they would have released MP gameplay by now or done it at E3 to shut people up and drive pre-orders but this just feels as if they are protecting the game for as long as possible to avoid further negativity and bring sales to a standstill. It's unlikely we'll have a beta too. A flashy campaign reveal may get a few naive people back on the 'hype train' and claw back some pre-orders but this just feels like another horrendous mistake on Activision's part that will arouse even more suspicion.

Thanks to IGN making another gaffe; they've inadvertently advertised the wrong banner or done it 24 hours too early which has resulted in Watch Dogs 2 being leaked as set in San Francisco. There were so many fundamental concept, gameplay, visual and physics flaws in the original; I am surprised it's been given another chance. It was worth experiencing but has to go down as one of the most disappointing games ever. Iconic gif

Like with many words these days; seems that a 'prank' has lost all meaning. Perhaps tomorrow I'll go into my local bank with a gun and prank them by taking their money and film the whole thing and just put it on YouTube as a bank prank and if I put the video title in CAPITAL LETTERS, it'll add more credibility. I agree with Dave above; with all these 'prankers' these days are lucky then don't get a good hiding. After seeing some of the horrible shit Trollstation pulled before they got punished; I'm surprised half these brainless idiots try new things but as least this moron got his just deserts in hilarious fashion!

Agree! It's a game where everybody really needs to be on the same wavelength by working as a team and having the appropriate heroes - if one or two players aren't pulling their weight or aren't using the right hero for the task at hand; it makes the match an uphill struggle that you will ultimately lose. Get it right throughout and it's so satisfying. I'm finding the community to be very impressive too which has brought out the best of gamers which is rare these days and many games like Call of Duty ultimately make players playing for themselves and not the team. The modes in Overwatch and the variety of heroes are just superb game design that encourages team play.

I just hope people don't buckle and give in - if they stick to their guns; it could be a massive blow to Activision that this futuristic BS and the business behind it is not what the community want or deserves. MW:R certainly is good bait for Infinite Warfare but looking at the low pre-orders; that isn't enough for many or they are simply holding out for the inevitable standalone purchase which if IW continues as it is; we may get a sooner rather than later.

....so said Eric Hirshberg http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/167612-Infinite-Warfare-Pre-Orders-Very-Low A strong performance at E3 may not be enough. Anything less than top spot for Call of Duty would be unacceptable too.

Cheers! Yep

My best match so far with 32 eliminations http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/487892324750990869/063E999F3E872253DDC655ED331647F6A02761C2/ One of the best MP matches I've ever played in any game that was non-stop carnage right to the wire and an incredible battle throughout! Got an 11 streak and two 5 ones desperately defending the payload which was at the last checkpoint and the remaining 5 minutes seemed to last forever. You just don't get this level on satisfaction in the likes of Call of Duty these days and although I earned a decent amount of eliminations; the team effort was the most important thing.

I played about 20 matches so far and all have been great fun and varied. It may look like a brainless shooter but the tactics and teamwork required are very important and can have a massive impact on a match. I've been in a few where my team has had to alter our approach on the fly by changing heroes and different ways to target the objective which has turned a match around. Very satisfying stuff indeed! The maps are fantastic too and even the few modes on offer are much more entertaining than your bog standard TDM and thrive on orgainised team play.. It's a highly enjoyable experience so far and great fun throughout. Far better than playing Call of No Recoil Duty: Aim Assist Warfare.

These pricks hold the Metal Gear Solid rights and after speculation that they'd be remastering MGS3 for the current gen; turns out their latest game is a slot machine gambling one which has generated so much hate; it may take the spotlight off Infinite Warfare for a bit. We kinda knew they were moving away from AAA gaming with only Pro Evo Soccer being their one and only remaining IP in production but instead of offloading the MGS rights or maximising these and producing another game albeit without Kojima; they go and use the rights for the sake of a shitty pachinko machine themed game. They ruined MGS V's development and instead of investing in finishing that and improving the MGS Online aspect; they're using the money gained through those sales on this garbage. They are well and truly up there with Ubishaft and EA but at least they remain dedicated to milking the AAA market whereas Konami have just given it the middle finger whilst holding onto an IP they didn't create and letting it rot.

Visceral Games will be making the next title; most likely be Star Wars Hardline

Blizzard in typcial AAA fashion have announced that there are currently 7m active players on Overwatch with 119m hours on record, 326m character swaps and 11m payloads delivered. I usually take no interest in these Activision-style press releases which throw out largely pointless high statistics but with this one; it's encouraging to see a new IP thriving so well across the systems which is just short of the amount of users who played the beta. So many new titles these days are either DOA like Battleborn or lose a substantial portion of the playerbase within the first two weeks like Evolve, Titanfall, Battlefront, The Division etc. Not only does Overwatch have the potential to retain the community in the long run but it has the ability to grow in time. Battlefront sold 14m copies and now has a global population of 40,000. Battleborn reached number one in the charts on all systems and its specialist platform on the PC saw just 13,000 sales with only 3,000 still participating and ITS NOT EVEN A MONTH OLD! Evolve which was described as a shooter that will 'last for years' now has 112 players left and it's highest point of 2016 was 1,300 when the game was on a free bloody weekend http://steamcharts.com/app/273350 It's still early days but Blizzard have a reputation for delivering successful new IP's that attract and retain a huge community for years. I think Overwatch will continue to thrive in a space where other big budget titles have flopped in horrendous circumstances. It will be more interesting to see where it goes when competitive play is reintroduced but so far; it's a great experience casually that has massive potential to get bigger.

I've started with Solider 76 where I left off on the beta and really enjoy the character as it's a nice and simple one to get into the game with. With all the variety in the heroes; I will probably float around quite a few but this is a useful one for whittling down enemy health with relentless fire and providing a quick heal option on the go for you and team mates. I just won a match on Gibraltar with seconds to go - we had the payload just inches away and I was stranded behind it in cover and with my team behind me under fire; I laid down the heal; switched to my ultimate and that got us across the line. Certainly a good and familiar choice for FPS regulars who aren't used of a game like this.

Too late

I've just picked this up after seeing it was £29.99 on Battle.net for the standard edition which I didn't know existed. Origins being at £44.99 is just insanely overpriced especially as the material included for the £15 extra is just worthless skins; some of which for other Blizzard games I will never play ever again. Happy to pay £30 but no way I'd stretch any more for it.

I watched about half of it and it wasn't as bad as expected but it just felt too copy and paste from the predictable format minus the trio. Le Blanc looks a bit out of place and the way the camera focuses on the audience regularly looked a bit cringeworthy at time especially when they dubbed the laughter in on several occasions. It would have been better if they did their own unique thing instead of relying on tiresome Top Gear cliches, scripting and general predictable set-pieces. The viewer rating is in and only 4.3m watched it which is the lowest ever entry on a new BBC series and the lowest Top Gear has seen in a decade.
