Whenever someone mentions Emerson Royal, I immediately think of this

Out later this year and there is currently a very long demo available on Steam. This looks astonishingly close to the original Resident Evil titles

Although I have several games I haven't played yet, I probably wont ever get round to them - either being freebies or some historic impulse purchase in the sale that I just don't feel like playing. In recent years I've been a bit more disciplined with such purchases so I don't get lumbered with a quantity of games and just waste my money in the long run. Darkwood is probably the only game I have installed that I need to get round to playing. Also RE: Code Veronica on PS5. Recently I've just been revisiting some classics like Gears of War, Metroid Prime and currently Metal Gear Rising. I also have the original Red Dead Redemption to go through and Gran Turismo 4. I found that installing lots of games and trying to schedule them actually stressed me a little and I didn't enjoy them as much but now I'm only playing what I want to play and it's usually only one title I'm focused on.

The G7 don't give a toss especially if its an expensive change in infrastructure which could savage the economy in its implementation and the impact it has in the changeover to established domains. Any agreements that these global governments make are merely to satisfy each other and to meet the bare minimums without receiving financial and investment penalties from the likes of the EU. These knee-jerk 11th hour mandates are drawn up of desperation because we're at a stage now where there's no easy way to implement and reward green innovations and users. If you promised to drive an electric car for the rest of eternity, it would probably cost you 70% of your income just to purchase and maintain. People just can't win and if the governments can't be arsed then people will carry on as normal. Some of the green ideas floated and implemented around the likes of London and Liberal-ran cities are so horrendously bad, people would rather harm the environment rather than destroy their income and sanity in endorsing these desperate methods.

Last night reminded me why I moved away from COD ^_^
J4MES OX4D replied to Luseth's topic in Call of Duty
I'm very disappointed at the state of both franchises now and both are way below the level expected and that what gamers deserve. DICE completely ruined 2042 after already fumbling BFV woefully and MW2 is let down by some utterly dismal post-launch support and corruption. With so much experience and money on both sides, it's astonishing to see how badly they've fucked up both games. The fact that less than 15,000 at one point (near release) were playing BF2042 and if MW2's player counts are to be believed (they look credible and come from reliable data methods) then the state of each game is reflected in the low populations. Battlefield looks like it will turn things around under new management but this will only be truly seen on a brand new title. COD isn't in as bad of a place but the franchise is really taking the community for granted and mugs but that will change now they've seen such a huge decline in interest. Pity there aren't other developers out there directly competing because the last 18 months has left huge opportunities for something fresh and ambitious to replace these tired old series's. -
Where I live we have several park and ride systems but it doesn't work and now most people have 2+ cars per household so it's completely obliterated any positives that could bring plus the car parks only have a certain capacity. It just doesn't work and is ultimately outdated. May be more beneficial in some cities but in others, it just doesn't make a significant difference. It's staggering how many cars are around my area now even compared to just 10-15 years ago. London has also decided to destroy small businesses in the hope of reducing emissions with ULEZ charges on virtually all distribution vehicles plus the congestion charges on top and other cities are trialing retarded traffic systems and other transport methods such as incredibly dangerous scooters. People will ultimately be punished for using cars just to get to work that aren't deemed green even though the clowns that come out with these strategies take 3 holidays a year and only view one side of the story. I think we're 30 years too late to make sweeping changes because the last 15 years have been too damaging.

No country on the planet has the ability to support EV's even on a small scale. Sure, many are looking to phase out your petrol and diesel classics in the 2030's but this is just aims to currently appease any climate concerns rather than being a realistic target. Many countries can't even fill potholes in let alone provide significant infrastructure than will cost each hundreds of billions to fit and maintain. If this was planned effectively over a 25 year period then by now it would be in better place but it's all looking like knee-jerk last gasp desperation. As it stands now, there is no clear route to even trialing this in most areas and even then, people are massively priced out.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (2014)
-
Should've definitely gone for it with his feet. I don't think it's always a red card if a keeper handles outside the box but any deliberate handball from a keeper or denial of a goalscoring opportunity will aggravate. I think here he's guilty of both after a pretty calamitous decision to head the ball. Poor defending though - how many times have we seen Alisson to Salah from a kick to a one-on-one breakaway..

Nick Pope done himself out of a place in the League Cup final yesterday and now Newcastle may have to resort to Karius in goal What was he thinking!?

Metal Gear Rising 10 Year Anniversary
J4MES OX4D replied to J4MES OX4D's topic in RPG / Action / Adventure
It fits in around 4 years after the events of MGS4 but it's not narrative-driven like your typical Metal Gear title - more of a focus on combat and mechanics and the story takes somewhat of a backseat which is a nice change of pace. I think the best we're gonna get with Raiden's backstory is what we got in MGS2 sadly. -
Tomorrow (Feb 19th) is Metal Gear Rising's 10 year anniversary and I've been revisiting it last couple of days. It still holds up as one of the most pulsating and entertaining games out there and has aged like fine wine. Also received a massive following which isn't bad considering this was just a spin-off by Platinum Games of Hideo Kojima's classic Metal Gear brand. The game still looks and plays remarkably and the soundtrack is sensational!

If the MP team keep this pace up, we should get at least 3 new maps for the rest of the year! This is groundbreaking considering they only have 450 employees at their disposal😎

These will probably cost £350 knowing Sony!

Ranked play was awesome in Black Ops 2 yet they've bollocksed it up ever since when they have attempted it. This looks a bit better but with such a competitive core casual playlist, I'm not sure if there will be many adopters outside of the sweatiest of the sweats especially with it being more watered-down and having a more strict ruleset. Competitive is something COD has always struggled with in terms of enticing players and viewership and with it coming so late, I'm not sure how much appeal there will be unless there are significant rewards. I just wish they built upon the foundation of what they created with BO2 and delivered with that through the decade rather than trying to integrate the competitive aspect into the core playlists and then attempting again now and then to see if it would fly as a standalone. They even tried to build BO4 around this entirely and then just gave up. Can't see many content creators going for it either because they will be exposed for how shit they are not being able to compete against bots in VPN lobbies.

Up to 96 on Meta!

Gears of War 2 finale Very much enjoyed revisiting this - a big step up from the brilliant original in terms of action and world detail. Still a linear game at heart with a couple of sections that are a bit underwhelming but most are great fun to play and look absolutely fantastic! Story is much more involved this time too. I don't think I actually got round to even finishing it back in 2008 due to a busy work and life schedule and much of it I don't even remember so it was almost like playing a brand new game!
-
Currently sitting at 94 on Meta and the original was 97! May give this a go again on Dolphin using Primehack as it would be nice to play the OG with a mouse and keyboard. The only bad I remember from the original were the weird controls which seemed quite archaic like Goldeneye yet this was in an era where we were getting used to slick games like Half Life, Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 so going back to such a vastly different control scheme I really struggled to adjust with yet the game itself was amazing especially considering the lame power the Gamecube had.

If they are gunning to release the MW2 DLC Expansion as MW3 now, it makes you wonder what the rest of the support will be like for MW2 this year. They may very well hold any original content back, and half-ass it even more. If the leaks are true from the ever-reputable Tom Henderson then it will be a painfully desperate and almost embarrassing move for the franchise releasing back to back MW titles in these circumstances. It'll be one title failing of their own doing and then they want another £70 crack from users to try again. There is literally nothing majorly wrong with MW2 apart from the support so abandoning it for a knee-jerk sequel will definitely not sit well with the community.
