J4MES OX4D reacted to phil bottle in Football (Played with Feet)
I'm kind of inclined to follow non Spurs teams if one our youth players is getting a run out. I see Dane Scarlett is finally getting a run out at Oxford Utd so I'll be hoping he helps them hang on in the Championship. We have a few others in other teams but I've been watching Dane a while now and he needs to step up. Couple of recent goals should help...

J4MES OX4D reacted to phil bottle in Dragon Age Veilguard - Another Failure, yay
I tend to take internet opinions with a pinch of salt. So much online now is just clickbait for views and clout. And nothing feeds the algorithm more than fear or anger.
But yes, I'd say if they dropped the name Dragon Age and made it clear it was being pitched at a teen audience there probably wouldn't have been so much drama around it. Just call it Veilguard, that's a decent name for a game all by itself.

J4MES OX4D got a reaction from phil bottle in Retro Gaming Recommendations
I played through GTA 4 again back in June and it's still excellent! I'd say it's aged better than Red Dead. Probably the best story in the entire GTA series with a level of seriousness and some tough decisions to make. Vehicle handling also felt pretty authentic and the missions are great fun!
Gonna do the expansions sometime too - they add on another 30+ hours of content. GTA V was completely neglected and wasted in that respect.

J4MES OX4D got a reaction from LordBaguette in Dragon Age Veilguard - Another Failure, yay
A potentially good game ruined with some of the most amateur, inappropriate and laughable writing ever witnessed. It will join Concord, Dustborn and Unknown 9 as catastrophic failures.
The characters look like partial cartoons with shocking lip-sync and animations. The tone is just hideous for a game of this nature and I wish writers wouldn't insert their personal problems and squabbles from Twitter into the story as they think they are the star of the show.
Reviews from the mainstream media are also suspicious as hell with several word-for-word sentences strategically inserted into their body of context.

J4MES OX4D got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Football (Played with Feet)
Yep, it's been a culmination of the board signing inappropriate players, wasting big money and not giving managers a chance. It all started with Moyes and over a decade later and it's the same old story. Some of these managers probably haven't even heard of half the signings made by the club and I think it was Ole that had to play players even if he didn't want them in his starting line-up. Jose once even had to ask a player what his name was at the training ground or something ridiculous.

I'm still staggered how Man Utd don't think thats good enough either! They were never going to be the best in England or the World overnight. They have real horrible rooted issues with the players for me.

J4MES OX4D got a reaction from IRaMPaGe in PS5 Accessories
I just stick with the official pad received with the console. Some of these 'pro/elite' iterations which cost 2-3x the price of the already expensive standard ones actually have vastly inferior build quality too. The current DS5 is also probably the poorest official standard one to date. Not sure about the existing XBSX one but the previous standard Xbox Controllers have been remarkably reliable although the Elites have been iffy at best.
There are some decent third party feature-laden pads but those cost about half the price of the consoles themselves. Most of that is down to the hefty licencing fees but peripherals tend to be an absolute goldmine.
I still use an Xbox One pad on PC which I've had for 8 years now and it still functions flawlessly. The stick is so robust whereas Sony's feel far more fragile and also end up busting through minimal wear. Maybe if Sony put more effort into into that than their shitty touchpad then maybe they wouldn't have a graveyard of returns and warranties coming out of their ass.

It's a curse of Cod, thee old tactical sprint.
I used to go through more PS4 pads.
Eventually it will do the thing.
Smart move with the warranty.
It's always that left stick pah.
What sensitivity do you play on?
Also what's your deadzone set at bro?
Less mashy mashy run into that fucking building away from the Grenade!
Just saying it might help, if you bump the sens up your aim will be dogshit for a while.
Also a lower deadzone.

J4MES OX4D reacted to WelchyTV in PS5 Accessories
I only have the controllers and headset that I bought at launch with the PS5!
I’ve been looking recently at purchasing a ‘pro’ controller, however I’m not willing to spend hundreds so I’m looking for a budget one.
I’ve been looking at the 8bitdo Ultimate controller, it’s only £55 and appears to have the Hall effect sticks, back buttons etc. However it seems to only be for Xbox so I’d be stuck with the standard controller for PS5!
So long story short is no I haven’t got any PS5 accessories but would love some recommendations for cheap pro controllers 🤣

I just use the bog standard pad, but I put kontrol freaks on the thumbsticks.
They are cheap, but been using them for a few years.
I buy more once the rubber is worn.
They just feel nicer, at a higher angle and it means I don't wear the normal thumbsticks at all on the pad.

J4MES OX4D got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Upcoming games! How do you feel about the future of gaming?
I'm not really hyped for anything and I'll just take each half-decent release as it comes. Only GTA 6 truly stands out as a potential generation-defining title and whilst there is a few other ones that should be received well, there's nothing really ground-breaking. We are 4 years into this generation and there's not been much at all worth talking about - most of it has been negatives surrounding pricing, unfinished games, disappointing releases and a lack of any ambition.
I really hope we see some top releases like we did towards the end of the PS4 era but right now, I am more happy about playing classics. Right now, Japan are the only ones delivering.

I'm pleased with the Tuchel appointment. It is rare you have a manager of this calibre at international level because most of the top ones are forever tied to clubs and that's where they usually want to be. This is definitely a huge name for a big role.
Southgate did a fantastic job in his tenure and restored faith and belief in English football for the first time in well over a decade and this time we actually got close to achieving things. Sadly he just couldn't get us over the line and I think bad game management in both finals will forever haunt his opinion for many frustrated fans. I do think we had some fortunate routes through and were certainly lucky to get to the final this year but it's a results business and we did come incredibly close.
Tuchel is proven and I think he will bring even more out of the players and be able to manage games far better.

J4MES OX4D reacted to JM in Football (Played with Feet)
Agreed, champions league winner, can’t disagree he’ll at least make these players look the part. Southgate did a great job getting these players all together, hopefully now Tuchel can get them winner things.

J4MES OX4D reacted to Luseth in Football (Played with Feet)
Will agree, I think Southgate did well even if some fans won't admit it. I do feel that this could be a bit like Moyes at Man U in that whoever was picked to follow Southgate, if they don't win a tournament immediately then they won't last in the job (rightly or wrongly).
To me I would be happy if he continues on what Southgate has achieved so a semi final or final first would be fine with me 🙂 But yeah would be nice to see us win something in the next 5-10 years considering the base we now have to work from.
