  1. Curtains at Old Trafford it seems and the protest posse will be left with faces redder than their shirts. Leicester 2-0 up at Burnley too which will leave them 6pts clear of them, a game in hand and a better GD. Title all but secured pretty much.
  2. This has been day one for me
  3. More Shortcut Kits for the lazier gamers: Battlefield 4 DMR Shortcut Kit – $5 Battlefield 4 Air Vehicle Shortcut Kit – $10 Battlefield Recon Shortcut Kit – $7 Battlefield 4 Grenade Shortcut Kit – $5 Battlefield 4 Support Shortcut Kit – $7 Battlefield 4 Soldier Shortcut Bundle – $25 Battlefield 4 Vehicle Shortcut Bundle – $20 Battlefield 4 Ultimate Shortcut Bundle – $50 Battlefield 4 Assault Shortcut Kit – $7 Battlefield 4 Ground & Sea Vehicle Shortcut Kit – $15 Battlefield 4 Handgun Shortcut Kit – $5 Battlefield 4 Engineer Shortcut Kit – $7 Battlefield 4 Shotgun Shortcut Kit – $5 Battlefield 4 Carbine Shortcut Kit – $5 Battlefield 4 Weapon Shortcut Bundle – $15 Seems to cost and arm and a leg for the privilege.
  4. Here's a close up Kudos to them for getting the spelling right at least.
  5. Just picked up MGSV:GZ but I'm worried if I start it now; i'll be done by dinner time Can't wait to play it and it looks a good warm up for the Phantom Pain. I will post some thoughts on it sometime this weekend.
  6. Ah there it is Lame effort. 1-1 so far..
  7. Has the 'Moyes out' plane protest happened yet? Gonna have a job upstaging this
  8. Nice to see Battlefield back to its usual self. I was initially miffed when Naval Strike was pegged back for release on PC but looking at the release elsewhere, it may be a blessing for them to sort their shit out yet again. Oh well, I look forward to playing this in September. Probably!
  9. Well said
  10. Drop Zone has been added today apparently and all Onslaught maps have been added to the regular playlists
  11. Well it's DXP weekend for Premium apparently and I was wondering if my Battlepack XP boosts work alongside the double points?
  12. I haven't played Titanfall too much since release due to other commitments but I thought I'd give my opinion on what I've grasped of the game so far. I was overwhelmed at how impressive this game was in beta form and despite a few issues, I was very optimistic that this game would be a major competitor to the likes of COD and Battlefield on the respected systems. The final product seems of a substantial quality but key design flaws in my opinion lets this game shoot itself in the foot. Firstly; the 'campaign' is a complete farce. You have two alternating 'stories' played on both sides which last probably 18 matches and for the life of me; at no point could I tell you what was going on whatsoever. You get a brief cutscene prior to the match and then a dynamic scene before the game starts. It is incredibly hard to grasp what is going on. Dialogue attached to the alleged campaign is also played in the post/pre-match lobbies but most of the time you're busy looking at your stats or loadouts to realise what is being communitcated. The non-existent story is played out on maps and modes like Hardpoint and Attrition but what you achieve on the battlefield doesn't seem to offer any further narrative. Quite simply the campaign is embarrassing and pointless on a ridiculous level. From a technical perspective; it also ballses up the matchmaking when you resume the story as the servers have to find players who are at the same point in the 'story' as you to link them to your lobby. I just finished the IMC campaign and my game of Hardpoint Domination on Corporate was left with just 5v3 players which killed the game. Quite simply, the campaign fails on an epic level and shouldn't have been considered. This is one of a couple of severe flaws in the game. The next problem as I mentioned in the beta was the 6v6+bots. I can understand why they have reduced the player count to accommodate the Titans but this has a detrimental effect on Pilot gameplay. The bots offer absolutely nothing of value and downgrades the frantic challenge. They really should have considered changing the structure of how many Titans are permitted at a time and how they are earned. This game would be brilliant as a 12v12 but the sacrifice Respawn have made for their main selling point with the Titans has somewhat harmed the credibility of the gameplay. Even if they beefed up the bots; it may have improved the challenge drastically but I think the core infrastructure of the Titans is a flawed aspect of the game which is the key part of the title. I think Respawn would be offended if people asked them to have a Pilot only mode with 16v16 or something as it would kick their creation in the teeth but in all honesty; I think it would salvage much longevity if they did this. Basically I feel the Titan implementation has been horrendously flawed. One other key issue I've noticed is this game is quite bare in terms of unlocks and weapons. The beta had quite a lot of content available so I thought but actually the finished product doesn't have the wealth of weapons I was expecting. I fear I will unlock and see most of the game within half the levels of the first generation. This is a bit of a shame because I don't want to be bored shitless in a month or so having seen it all. On to the more positive parts of the game then; in terms of the graphics, they are very good with amazingly varied maps. The engine which I found incredible on the beta is as swish and brilliant as ever. The movement and controls are absolutely pristine and it's an absolute joy darting round the map. The feel of the guns, the unlocks and the combat is of that of Call of Duty. It really feels satisfying and in some instances I'd rather opt to be a foot soldier than fart about in a Titan blowing shit up. The games feel really balanced and any camping murmurs and typical FPS moans are well and truly put to bed in this game. It's fast, frantic and pure fun of the highest level and fans of UT and Quake will have a blast. The leveling and design mimics that of Call of Duty as expected, from the people that ultimately created the structure in the first place. You can create your own loadouts, add attachments and all that which is great. There is a good amount of stats and challenges to keep your eyes on too. The Burn Cards are also pretty neat and essentially act as perks but they can be used only once until you die. It's a good job they are readily available as maintaining them is a nigh-impossibility over a duration of time. Overall; Titanfall is an excellent game that lets itself down on key factors with the overall design. I think the devs have made a monumental cock-up in terms of how Titans are implemented into matches and the player count sacrifice to ensure their USP is maintained is desperate in terms of the presence of bots. I think much of the hype was justified and deserved but longevity and dedication from the community and the developers will be the determining factor for this games/series's future. Respawn fucked up with the design of MW2 and still they haven't learned but I think they can learn much from this experience. They were certainly riding on the cock of Microsoft to get to where they are now but many of the issues within the game must hit home for the future if there is to be a Titanfall 2. I think the devs have demonstrated they can deliver a solid experience but I'd like to see them come back to the traditional FPS titles like COD and Battlefield. Titanfall was a much-needed niche but the inclusion of Titans and the confusion of how to draft them into matches to suit everyone has left this game open for tumbleweed in the near future if they aren't careful.

  14. With all this technology today and all the advancements in aviation; I still cannot believe the Black Box system is still relied on the way it is. The Air France disaster back in 2009 saw the boxes recovered two years later at a cost of hundreds of millions. I have no doubt that the technology is there to do it and I expect many airlines are against it due to cost but I feel this is the last piece in the jigsaw that is required for swift and accurate understanding of incidents albeit rare, of this kind. It's been a complete fuck up from start to finish and it's an absolute tragedy for everyone involved. It must be torture not having closure or a clear understanding of what has happened to their loved ones. The fact they still haven't got conclusive proof of debris let alone a clear under understanding of why the plane detoured just shows a gaping hole in how aircraft are managed on the ground and tracked in flight. So many questions still outstanding and it's just devastating to see a clear lack professionalism and concrete information from the powers that be.

  19. Same with me. Skyfall is a bit barmy like a few Bonds but is actually an excellent film in its own right. I highly recommend watching it. There are parts of the film which you feel the producers are trying to bring Bond back to the old days. They derailed far too much with Royale and Solace from the Bond feel for me.
  20. Facebook has just bought the company so the Oculus Rift can now go fuck itself
  21. I like The Living Daylights song. Good film too TWINE; crap film epic song tho
  22. I think it's a great idea! £64 for 90 days may seem steep off the bat but with support and donations, an FG server would be badass. One of the conditions should be; No fucking French allowed
  23. Don't you mean Naval Strike? Well I'm still waiting as the PC version has been delayed (what a bloody surprise)
