Is there any Jim Nastics in this shit? That's quite entertaining for arses and Euro hotties

BF4's Final Stand DLC has now been pushed back until Xmas which makes sense also. I couldn't see them squeezing it in before October in timely fashion. ^I don't actually know anyone that's preordered the game but I bet a fair few who did and promptly cancelled that today

The missus is only with me for my 1.17k/d. She doesn't care about the 8 inch penis I have

******Shocking News******* EA has delayed Battlefield Hardline until early 2015 I'm not massively interested in this game in all honesty, mainly due to the concept and price but it's mildly encouraging to see EA having the bollocks to push the game back based on Visceral's beta feedback. If they release it around March time; we may get a playable game off the bat. They will also stand a chance of selling more copies in what is considered a quieter time of the gaming calendar plus they won't have to compete and ultimately lose to the new Call of Duty regardless of how good their game is. I thought this game was fun in the beta but probably not worth the money. The digital deluxe edition is £59.99 as a download whereas I paid £34.99 for the deluxe Battlefield 4 physical copy. Also tax has been raised on digital downloads in the UK and EA have stopped doing physical copies of games on PC. The concept also doesn't push the Frostbite 3 engine further and actually limits the scale leaving it watered-down and not a considerable step forwards, certainly compared to other titles on the horizon. I think it's a wise and essential move by EA to restore some confidence especially if the game isn't of an acceptable standard come October but they'll probably get slated for this move too Also EA have pushed back Dragon Age Inquisition back to 2015 too.

Loos like they're going for the standard mini map this time. Also looks like they are going for the Battlefield colours too

Even though I'm from the UK; I prefer to drive on the right side thanks mostly to growing up with the likes of GTA The one gripe I have with ETS2 and it's pretty minor is just the copy and pasted cities. ATS looks much better and hopefully they'll capture the inner cities as accurately as possible even if they are slightly scaled down.

Barebones better be in AW! Just let the guns do the talking in peaceful matches without players doing well and then getting rewarded further. The Ghosts killstreaks weren't memorable in the slightest and ones like the attack dog and juggernaut were just so OP. Also the field orders gave a player a stupid advantage for the sake of 1 kill and a basic challenge such as teabagging the enemy. It's worse on the DLC maps particuarly on the likes of Favela where you can pretty much earn a AC130 in the first 30 seconds. I hope there is greater emphasis on the exo suits in place of the perk system as opposed to killstreak reliance too.

The problem is with this K/D mentality of a portion within the community; the SPM score has somewhat gone over people's heads and they don't realise its value in a player or what it means. I like how Treyarch did the combat record in Black Ops 2 as it demonstrated all the key stats Sadly K/D is one of those stats that always has more value in peoples eyes.

W/L is the only thing that really matters in terms of stats if people really want to into the nitty-gritty about players' abilities. COD is all about the K/D 'image' because of the attitude of a large part of the community. The feature is pretty useless seeing it can be manipulated by dashboarding and influenced by rage quitting. I remember the days of Black Ops when you'd see someone with a 5.54 K/D and 0.13 W/L ratio. If kills were the only thing that was displayed; people would happily go 43-39 with an offensive and care-free approach but the stereotypical K/D whore that was born in COD would rather sit in a corner for the sake of a few numbers and a decimal point. SPM is also a good stat for consistent scoring players although it can be mode-dependent if you play more SnD as opposed to games with a higher pace and greater opportunity of point scoring in a specific time. Sadly as so many people pride themselves on K/D because it's the 'cool' thing about COD; I don't think it will ever be removed but I think for players profiles; the attribute should be masked to just kills on record. You could also select if you want your K/D visible but only to friends or something. I also hope prestige mode gets removed; that just means someone who's played the game more than someone else.

There's nothing wrong with the likes of Poland and Slovakia on ETS2 either

I bought Euro Truck Simulator 2 back before Xmas in the Steam sale and it is absolutely brilliant. £3.74 was a steal and I actually felt like I robbed the developer. The career mode is superb and the devs have done a really good job on maintaining, improving and expanding the game. Some cracking mods out there too with a sublime community. This is probably the only simulator that appeals to me and it's just so addictive and incredibly made. I cannot wait for SCS Software's next game; American Truck Simulator - it looks amazing!

Some Sledgehammer bullshit this week and a 'surprise' on Thursday http://mp1st.com/2014/07/21/call-duty-advanced-warfare-studio-celebrates-5th-anniversary-incoming-surprise-thursday/

SCOOTLUND Who's watching this and anyone from ooop norf actually going?

I think the beta is offline until the 23rd as they're adding more content to it.

Thank god! If only he could do for England what he done for Liverpool.

50gb HDD space for install (replace boat with HDD and shit makes sense sister )

Looks like Drogba will be returning to Chelsea on a 1 year deal. Fantastic player but a dirty stinking cheat

I watched; I know what you did last summer. What a shit film. Terrible acting, cringeworthy scenes and not even Sarah Michelle Gellar's legs could save it. Even had Johnny Galeki aka Leonard Hofstadter trying to play some hard bastard

^Agree with Techno. Battlefield 4's destruction can dramatically have a massive impact on the gameplay of a map from the start and when the destruction occurs which changes the way the map appears and plays. Levolution is a bit messy and glitchy at times plus it can be predictable but the dynamics can change significantly meaning camping areas get obliterated and routes get blocked off. Cover can also be diminished which can drastically alter your approach to situations on the map. COD on the other hand uses the most basic and static designs even with the so called 'dynamic' aspects. These didn't really do much for gameplay with lampposts falling over and the typical spots and flanks always remain the same which isn't really a bad thing. You an play a map on a mode hundreds of times and it doesn't get old. Games will always be different even if you're utliising the same playing style. Learning a map and the way they pan out is still fun in COD. I don't think developers of COD and BF have the knack to design a system where maps can be generated either. There is too many glitches occuring on their flat base maps most of the time so coding in maps with aesthetically changing landscapes could be a horror show. I'm pretty tired of the usual shit from the likes of COD where you get 15 flat maps and then the usual DLC roll-out. Counterstrike Global Offensive has over 1,000,000 players a day on PC and over 20,000 user created maps for free. Some of these are of a much better quality than most of the premium ones we see in COD and are created by players who have considerable experience in playing FPS games. I'd like to see a feature or programme implemented in COD where you can create and publish your own maps upon approval. I just feel there is still this huge corporate gap between the community and the franchise even with the close-knit relationships COD has with so many YouTubers. Most of them are promotional puppets but I think it would be good to have a greater input from the players rather than some shitty survey they recently released. Shit maps can be disappointing especially with 90% of them in Ghosts but generated maps could add a whole level of shit into the mix. It's an interesting concept but I'd be more than happy just playing on 12+ really good and familiar maps and building knowledge and playstyles tied to those than worrying about what I'm walking into next match.

Liverpool seal £8.5m deal for Loic Remy. Bargain. Sunderland have bought Fabio Borini for £14m.

TWAT ALERT I personally cannot stand the guy and he represents everything bad about the modern pop industry. He cannot sing, he cannot talk properly and his lyrics are cringeworthy. He fits in a treat then People buy his shit, he has fun doing it so that's the main thing - I just wish I didn't see it or listen to it on a daily basis as I can't escape one day without hearing his name.

Assassins Creed Black Flag £9.99 Splinter Cell Blacklist £4.99 Rayman Legends £6.24 Far Cry 3 £3.74 Rocksmith 2014 £9.99

I think Destiny will do well but my only concern would be that it wont stand the test of time come November when everyone jumps on the COD bandwagon regardless of how good it is. My worry about Destiny like many games we've seen so far is that it will just die a death overnight. Hype is more brutal than ever but Destiny seems to justify the hype but COD always has the knack of turning heads for the foreseeable. I think games like The Division could be the ultimate title to change gaming as it's something on another level. Destiny is unique for this generation as it's good quality and is coming in at a time where games are few and far between. A COD killer would be more than welcome as the more better games, the merrier. After how shit Ghosts was; AW has really stepped it up and that's what COD needed. They sat pretty too long on dated technology and a lack of forwarding ambition. Games like Destiny and AW will set the bar for what is expected. Considering that these titles were in production before Ghosts; it just shows how dreadful that game was. Aside from the hype; will Destiny beat the likes of Borderlands and Halo? Certainly the latter but time will tell. It's actually a real shame that the last gen was dominated by COD actually because the likes of Borderlands was an infinitely better experience and probably the best co-op game in existence. Shame more people didn't know about it because seems we're all crying out for a good game in the genre yet there was one sitting pretty years previous. Hope Destiny is more than just a benchwarmer until November but I think this will be a good alternative away from the usual COD and all it's predictable annual nonsense.
