    Bungie it seems don't want you to play 'as a disparate group of strangers' so they are under the assumption that everyone will have a bulky friends list from the get-go with available players at that given time and shouldn't need to go fishing for buddies. It's a bad assumption by them IMO but they recognise their risk in doing that. Also, if you have to recruit via the tower precisely the number of players you are short to play; that kinda destroys their wishes in terms of playing with strangers regardless. MMO's are all about making friends in game as you go. If some Raids are 4+ hours straight - fuck that. Who the hell (apart from kids) has that much time on their hands in one session? Not very healthy either if you can't have a break or save midpoint.

    Unconfirmed but also posted on NeoGaf earlier in the Raids leak; if one player drops out - the entire team auto-fails. If one person loses connection; insta-fail also. Didn't see this mentioned in the IGN interview but this could be another serious flaw. I cannot believe Bungie have done this - it's like they are still catering to the stereotypical Halo after school gamer. Didn't they think for one minute that this social emphasized MMO needed matchmaking for this aspect? It's like Sledgehammer saying; you can play TDM in Advanced Warfare but you need a team of 5 pals from your friends list in a lobby else you cannot play. I was really looking forward to Raids but this is a massive blow and just takes the conveniance out of playing games when you have a busy schedule and responsibilities. I can't be sitting down trying to club 5 other people together or sending invites to randoms when it's the games responsibility to make it efficient for me to play. Hopefully today's outrage will give Bungie food for thought and they create a system so people can play Raids when they want with as little fuss as possible.

    Top and bottom paragraphs contain the info from the Destiny dev http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/07/30/destiny-the-endgame-is-only-the-beginning-ign-first ''Bungie isn’t supporting matchmaking for them; the developers don’t want them to be played by disparate groups of strangers''“Raids are a really big bet for us,” he explains. “It's a bit of a risk. Because the activity requires you to have a group of five other friends to play with.” I read about this on NeoGaf earlier but didn't believe it but it seems confirmed from the horses mouth. Halo Firefights had the same restrictions but you only needed 1 extra player to play but now needing 5 fellow players in sync is a bad move and just restricts the mode socially and for convenience particularly for casuals or people who don't have time to try and club together five other players at that time.

    £23.7m deal for Lukaku confirmed. Chelsea paid £18m for him 3 years ago. Good deal for Everton that could come back to haunt Jose and Chelsea.

    Destiny story is just 20 hours along with a 20lvl cap. Raids begins at lvl25. Also no matchmaking for Raids and you MUST have a 5 other players without fail. Not even 4 people is enough to play. This could be a fucking nightmare getting 5 other players to contribute at the same time and commit to a Raid. Without matchmaking; you can't even get one loose player just to make up a team.

    Lukaku off to Everton permanently. Hell of a signing! Surprised Mourinho didn't give him a chance but he turned his back on him after missing the penalty in the Super Cup final against Bayern. They really could have done with him last year and he may have won them the title. Certainly better than Torres, Eto and Ba and more of a presence. I'd probably take him over Costa in all honesty as at least he's proven in the Prem. Costa could easily be another Torres.

    Promotional poster banned for the up and coming Ninja Turtles movie. Paramount have pulled it due to the release on September 11th and the fact it's people jumping out of a burning building. I think it's a ridiculous overreaction in all honesty and I don't see any offence caused. It's just a generic building with human turtles in a pose and the film so happens to be releasing on 9/11. It's not like the explosion was caused by a plane else that would be deemed more inappropriate. Very OTT IMO.

    Yaya Toure now wants to stay at Man City for as long as possible. Will probably get another contract around the region of £400,000 a week now plus a birthday party guaranteed ever year for the rest of his life

    Good idea in theory - a bit like Netflix for games but this is EA we're talking about and I expect there will be catches aplenty. One thing that caught my eye on another article was that not all their titles will be included in the feature, so this could just be a bargain bin plus with all the season pass and content elements to their games; I am wondering how things like UT and Premium features will work on this sub-based concept. The small print on this will certainly need scrutinising

    Point/Scorestreaks return. UAV is back and 400pts. Looks like 700 for the drone thingy. 100pts for a TDM kill. Looks like the Tsunami might be a fucking Field Order. 5 bars on each ability set to R1-L1.

    He's double-jumping! I don't think he's as high as he looks but still; it's going to be a nightmare swatting noobs like that. I think the feature will be battery-life capped though.

    Liverpool complete the signing of Striker Dick Origami for £10m. Southampton have also said that Jay Rodriguez and Morgan Schneiderlin are not for sale. I still think they'll both force a move to Spurs although it may set them back something in the £40m region.
  20. J4MES OX4D
    Not forgetting Pochettino and all of his staff. I remember when Pompey were top half of the prem and won the FA cup and the Saints were in League One winning the JPT soon after and then they both went in completely different directions as Southampton went to the Prem and Pompey were bottom half of league 2. It's only a matter of time until both sides overlap once again I reckon.
  21. J4MES OX4D
    Yep, but I haven't heard of any of them They are so depleted that relegation is surely inevitable? It's a real shame to see a club get obliterated like that by the big boys in such a short space of time.
  22. J4MES OX4D
    Just been announced that Rodriguez could be on his way to Liverpool or Spurs along with Morgan Schneiderlin Matt Le Tissue will have to come out of retirement along with Bruce Grobbelaar and Ali Dia

    Well I was bored shitless of the Simpsons years ago and I'm not enjoying much of Family Guy these days but here's some footage of the crossover episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udaKK6bsu-c&list=PL-DfNcB3lim9IZmUXEjE1Ov0Ir1NDa3Yr
