    Ah Black Ops II - they don't make them like this anymore.

    It's the usual butthurt ex-Blizzard, ex-BioWare and ex-Sony mob just bitter of their success and going on their usual Bluesky ramblings. As usual, they make a total fool of themselves and then wonder why nobody hires them or buys their crap.

    Anyone got this yet? Was released at very short notice after 7 years of development the other day and costs less £16/$20. It had 3m wishlists on Steam alone and actually crashed every store front when it launched. Just shy of 600,000 players on Steam in the first few hours. There's even other indie developers moaning about how popular and cheap it is plus how they didn't give enough notice to other studios about the launch. Literally the same situation as when Baldurs Gate 3 angered other bitter devs about the success of their game. I'm actually playing the original right now and it seems a really unique game. Surprised I didn't pick it up sooner. It's basically a Metroidvania Dark Souls. If I keep at it then I'll definitely grab Silksong even at full price.

    About time. He did do a fine job in terms of turning a struggling club into a regular European-qualifying side and the stadium, along with profitability has been very incredible, but his tenure has been riddled with too much caution, missed opportunities and failure to capitalise. It's a different era of football now and Spurs need to take that next step with the foundations being laid.

    Some more Metal Gear Solid Delta

    Haven't you played their Hitman games before Phil? You can literally be a master stealth assassin by distracting elite military guards by throwing coins🤣

    Looks pretty good! A lot of Hitman DNA unsurprisingly but the levels look like they have some massive scale. Performance looks a bit rough but at least it’s a legitimate gameplay presentation

    15 years too late ‘Call Of Duty’ Movie Coming From Paramount, Activision—Why That Could Be Risky For Studios WWW.FORBES.COM Video game adaptations, like “A Minecraft Movie” and “A Super Mario Bros. Movie,” have been big box office hits in recent years, though video game adaptations often fail to please critics. The OG Modern Warfare would've been a fine adaptation back in the day but god knows what garbage they'll concoct here.

    This game looks very interesting - S.T.A.L.K.E.R meets Deus Ex, Metal Gear Solid, Mech Warrior and a bit of Tarkov in a PS1 visual-fest which further combines first person and 3rd. No release as of yet.

    $200 for the North American Collectors Edition containing this figurine in a cheap diorama is absolutely insulting The European one is so much better

    Guehi will be absolutely furious as will Liverpool. He will either leave on a free at the end of the season or try and drive a move to Liverpool in January if they are still interested at a cut-price between £15-25m. Massive blow for him and his career. Huge missed opportunity for Arsenal yesterday too - Arteta went there not to lose and they still lost. Far too negative and cautious in his approach and he did not use the attacking players well at all. Even Newcastle with 10 men really took the game to Liverpool and were very unlucky. Sometimes it's good to play the big teams early on when they aren't gelled and that was a huge chance for Arsenal to make an early statement especially after City lost again.

    I may grab Game Pass for £1 just to do the campaign again. I did play it a couple of years ago using a *cough emulator but I'm tempted to see how this Ultimate Edition remaster will run. Game running on Unreal 3 is just pure laziness - I didn't even realise until @MrBiron mentioned it - I actually thought it was a UE5 slop job but they were so lazy, they basically did a direct port of a direct port of a 20 year old game.

    I grabbed this for £42 on Game Thor which is a great site - there was no way in hell I was paying £70 especially for a shot-for-shot remake. Completed the Virtuous Mission part and they've definitely done a great job with the visuals and cutscenes. Controls take some getting used to and there is some annoying collision issues with bodies on the floor though. Unreal 5 once again proves itself as a dogshit engine and Tim Sweeney today has come out and blamed all the developers for problems across the entire portfolio of games that utilise it.

    Game is out now but the reception has been pretty mild particularly on PC. Just sheer laziness from Microsoft piggybacking a shite port rather than do a trilogy from the ground up like how MCC and Mass Effect Legendary was done. Feels like this was just done to wet the appetite of PS5 users in time for E-Day next year with it being a prequel but for £40 it really is a shite offering.

    It's going to be a very interesting season and I think Arsenal's depth could be key for them but it'll be interesting to see where Liverpool are at with some big departures and incomings. Chelsea aren't quite there yet but they should be better placed to compete for top 4 and Man City will be up there but I can't see them winning it or even getting near the top 3. At the other end, I think West Ham are going to have a very challenging season but for the first time in a very long time, I think the promoted sides may be better placed to survive unlike previous years. Unbelievable pressure for Arteta to deliver this season though - over £1bn spent in his tenure and still only the FA Covid Cup to show for it and that was with Emery's squad. I don't even think the FA Cup and League Cup would be good enough to suffice - it has to be the League and/or the Champions League. Not many teams blow through that sort of rate and win less than Leicester. City were nailing the treble off the back of multiple titles and trophies in which Arteta played a huge part in that with Pep so the expectations will be insane but I think they are well-placed this year to do something.

    Activision caught bribing streamers including 3 convicted cheaters for fake trailer reactions😂 this franchise is an embarrassment

    I can't believe BO7 isn't even cracking the top 40 on Steam top sellers and it's not doing very well on the PS Store either for pre-orders. It's still early days and people are probably waiting to see how Battlefield fares but these figures regardless are absolutely rancid. The Steam top sellers is also determined by revenue so when you have a £70 game that can't crack the top 40 and is being outsold by income compared to a game that costs $3, the pre-orders must literally sit in the tens of thousands tops for it to be that low down. Even ANNO 1800 being 30 places ahead at $6 is crazy.

    Imagine spending $750 on a PS5 Pro and getting a baseline performance output the same as an Xbox 360! Even upscaling with as much slop as possible can't hide how poorly optimised these modern games are compounded with a sheer lack of power and flexibility from the locked hardware.
  23. J4MES OX4D
    It certainly looks more refined like Black Ops 3. Not sure what the hell they were thinking with BO6 especially with the stupid movement. They had it nailed down in MW2019 and Vanguard yet they practically made it so flimsy and exploitable in the last game that it just looked and felt ridiculous. I think this will be a similar case to Advanced Warfare where the devs have tried their hardest and produced a reasonably polished game but shocking direction and shite marketing ruins it. Sadly it'll look and feel way more superior to 6 but get ten times the flack.
  24. J4MES OX4D
    The developers here are more known for their walking simulators so hopefully they'll be able to deliver on RPG mechanics. Having just played their Still Wakes The Deep game, they certainly know how to build a world and tell a story but I hope the core gameplay has some substance. Not sure why the original game wasn't simply remastered from the ground up though as there would've been many takers for that and the development wouldn't have been half as borked.

    I forgot Paradox were publishing this Bloodlines fans rage as Paradox locks 2 playable clans behind $30 DLC: 'Is Paradox smoking crack?' | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The finish line is finally in sight, yet Bloodlines 2 is somehow still tripping over its own feet. The game will probably cost £500 after you've bought all the DLC.
