That looks like Pro Clubs Head?! Is it finally back working again?? If so, thats awesome. It won't pick up all the stuff we see and where we give assists where its probably the game not crdeting the player, but nice one for finding this as its still some fantastic stats to see! Also shows how MoMs and ratings are defo linked to goals and clean sheets for a GK. We did pretty well last night too, 2 whole promotions in one night 😄

Playstation Plus Free games

I'll definitely take WRC24 thanks very much. Cheers for sharing @slamminbones! ❤️ -
You mean Battlefield, right? I've played far more CoD than BF. Like years. Is that a bad thing in Battlefield? I get that you want games to stick to some sort of 'DNA' here, but I don't think this really hurts the game. That's a fair point, as I wouldn't know this given my experiences lie more with CoD than BF. It doesn't 'feel' like CoD to me though. Its not about twitch movements, KD, and CoD really doesn't have any squad co-ordination whatsoever. The way they've put the control points out there, it definitely has pulled me in. We had a game last night where they were taking us out with lone snipers on the mountain, so it was a nice tactic to try and get C and D, whilst we had 1-2 of us on cover fire to try and get rid of those annoying snipers. I agree with this 100%. That being said, maps and gunplay dictate all FPS games we've ever played. We usually drop them when the maps kill people's love for the game or the gunplay is too all over the shop for us.

The Codified part I think its more about the gunplay for me, but thats a benefit in my eyes as I've never felt BF shooting has been a smooth experience. Now it feels great. I can't probably comment on the differences in older BF Maps to these maps - I just take it for what it is in this game. The destruction works well in quite a few of them. Siege of Cairo has certain parts that really can make you feel immersed in the battle for a control point. If they want to change one thing, its the lighting on the desert maps - or add a few more buildings that help people on foot get from A to E abit easier without being sniped all the time. There definitely seems enough vehicles on each map to help the charge. If I was being critical from a BF POV, I'd more angle my thoughts towards size. There probably isn't a truly epic/large map at launch. Its either that, or they've made sprinting far quicker with a knife. I'm happy as I don't feel like this game has running simulator in it, but I appreciate that can weirdly annoy others.

I am praying its as good as the first series. A great watch.

Saw some interesting news that not long after their latest DLC has just come out, they've confirmed the game will have no more updates and make the latest DLC free to play. That means a curtain will call at some point in 2026 or 2027 surely. Mad to think its been out for 5ish years or more and its not had enough backing to finally be turned off at some point soon. Hard to take on a WoW alternative game these days.

Okay, so I have to admit, MOST of the maps I really do like. I equally like that the capture points are slightly different with each game mode. The only ones I've struggled with which seem to be consistent with others online are the 2 desert ones. I think its down to the sheer scale of how open it is, coupled with how bright you stand out when running from one control point to the other. You can see how vehicles can really help dictate how well you do on these maps. On the 2 new maps incoming - I've only played Black desert one. The lighting on this with the sunsetting looks cool but has annoyed me in parts as I think you stand out in certain places to the enemy. Needs a few more plays to see how it really feels. The other one looks similar to what Battle Royale is based on and the buildings on that work really well for cover so that looks promising. My best maps are hard to separate. Manhattan Bridge, with C on top of the building that can get continually destroyed is cool. I think that's up there with Siege of Cairo and Iberian Offensive. Cairo is really cool finding different ways to flank the opposition whilst tanks always converge through the map on to C. Thoughts all?

Its only £32.99 on PS5. I've liked the look of this from the start. What are the missions like when you go into a raid? I still think The Hunt Showdown is one of the best PvPvE games out there and more should play that too. This one has bosses on ever map you load into that rotate so it would be cool if Arc Raiders ends up with a similar thing to The Hunt.

Whilst the first thing he says he has a point that the overall gaming state is really poor right now so this shines out easily, however me playing a BF game this much tells me that the gunplay is the best i've ever tried in a BF game. He's playing solo in a team oriented game outside of that, so the rest of it doesn't make much sense. FGers over the past 2 weeks are continually coming top squads and my win % is at 70, so it can't all be that bad. We have to evolve and move with the times, whether we like it or not from a gaming viewpoint. Games won't deliver all the content we used to get because the demand is needed yesterday and the overall player base gets bored if you don't iterate and keep making small patches over time. I don't blame them if they have made stuff and drip feed it out. Annoying for us oldies, but not for the new generation - if that keeps the player base high, which allows us to play more and dominate more then I'm all for it. BF6 so far has been a pretty decent revelation in the current drought of good games. They've spent time making the gunplay and movement solid and for that I have to commend them on it. Escalation is a fantastic game mode and really does give you lots of tight games without the worry of dying loads. First game in ages that has brought so many FGers back to online gaming and you can't ignore that from a positive POV. They must be doing something right 🤷♂️

That's a pretty good survival rate there Philly after nearly 200 raids!! Have you mastered the art of sitting silent in a dark corner? Is there another full reset coming or this is now how it stays as a full game?

hey my name real name is Dave I am a retro collector
GazzaGarratt replied to the retro gaming nerd's topic in Introductions
Its a great collection you have there although my missus would've thrown me out for those cables on show! 😅 Some awesome Mega CD options there that i've never seen or played. Nice man! Hope you enjoy your stay at FG ❤️ -
Never really got into these Fallout type games. Not sure why. Maybe too much magpie'ing for me me to do which means i'd never get anywhere in the story 😄 Let us know what you think if you guys pick it up.
-
Nice little watch that. I think its a real hard game to keep playing without it evolving too much. Those mods did look pretty hilarious though. I always watch these and think its ace again...but I know whenever we played it, I never even had anything like the kit he gets in minutes lol

Subscriptions - Have they made the industry better?
GazzaGarratt replied to Luseth's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Given I have two kids, I have the following which I have streamlined now as used to have quite a few more over the years. I look out for the cheapest packages where possible. - Netflix (Basic package with 2 screens and ads. £5.99) - Disney Plus (Basic package with ads. £4.99) - Spotify (Family package for all of us £19.99) - Amazon (Prime for quick parcel deliveries which also gives you Prime Video. £8.99) - Sky TV (This is luxury one. We have sports and movies as sports is on 24/7 virtually all the time and Dax will watch some movies with us. Currently £70. This depends on what they do for existing customers, although frustratingly gives new customers for about £30-40. Been with them for 17 years) Its a funny one subscriptions. I really do dislike them, but what I try and do as you can see is play the system for what it is. Ads don't last long and we use them as loo breaks or to get a cuppa. £5 sometimes doesn't even get you a coffee in todays world. If I needed to, we'd drop Sky too if money became the most urgent issue in our house. Playstation I don't class as a sub, even though it is. Always paid the annual basic one to play online. Anywhere between £40-60 once a year. We shouldn't need to, but at least I get my money's worth with this one too. -
I do agree with this take too, as much as I love that its coming to PS5. Games are in a sorry state of late. Thankfully, BF6 can hopefully bring the waves back again. Back to Halo. Original Co-creator seems to really like the look of it...
-
I'm ecstatic btw! It really does look a great upgrade graphics wise. I think only Halo fans on PS5s will make this a hit though. Can't believe the turnaround for Xbox, looks like they want to hit the medium/high end of PC players I guess. If this opens the door for Halo 1 or even Halo 2 multiplayer to eventually come to playstation, then I'm all for it. Some of the best gunplay we've ever had and should feel relatively new given its been so long.
-
I saw when he made it initially in beta for free to download but I was worried it would take the shine off the golden old days! Let us know how you get on Philly 😎 Soccer Rivals was the one me and @Findmartin played to death on my Amstrad CPC 464. A board game styled management game, loved every minute of it!

You say that but gamers have changed. They gorge content and their brains can't cope if the game looks the same as Day 1. They need/crave change. Its unreal to the extent this happens. People are quick to move on to something new so I get why developers release content over time. Also focuses the mind to build up to certain dates and events with friends. This ain't gonna change anytime soon given how long it takes to make a AAA game now. I've ordered the game, comes tomorrow from Amazon. I like the amount of people talking about this of late. We should embrace that and try and get behind a solid game like this and give it some airtime. Don't think I've played another BF game where the gunplay comes anywhere near BF6.
-
I'm glad its till 4 player co-op on this one. A great find too as I've not heard about this game at all! That flying dropkick is hilarious. I'll probably add it on my Xmas wishlist, but could get it slightly before as you'd expect it to come down to around £40 soon. The first one was such good fun, so many of us picked it up too and it was mental at night. The video you've shared seems like its very similar which is great news.
-
You know I joked but also meant it 😄 I've always been a believer that near enough everything is cyclical, so I won't be suprised to see a boom at some point. I do think we have a chance of another gaming market crash though. Like James says above, the way that people consume stuff these days, a developer can't keep up and the pay in relation to work/life balance is just not good in any way. With Microsoft seemingly moving more and more away from the market, could be a good time for a new emergent to come in if they can figure out a way to break it.
-
The new exotic mission apparently looks okay, but people are sharing it feels pretty empty. Its such a hard one to balance out now as most common Destiny players that enjoy what its stood for, expect really integral exotic missions, or some form of long mission that has multiple steps. We aren't gonna get that now with the way they can't churn out content to match the cycle of what consumers want. They'll get a spike for the Star Wars collab coming soon. We'll have to just see what actually comes with it that stays and holds people's interest. Now, more than ever though, is enough evidence that gamers way of thinking shows that they just should've made Destiny 3 and took the heat for not being able to crossover weapons. Gamers get butthurt for so many silly reasons and that would've gone away quickly if a new game was out.

It should've been Liverpool all day long but they feel like the only side that could screw this up. Genuinely hard to call so far. If Chelsea or Newcastle get a run going you never know. Spurs look strong so I do wonder who can get consistency after the International break.

Jeez, what a trailer. Do you recommend the Dahmer one then Gary @techno?

The great physical revolution returns!! YARRRRRRR! 🤣

Whether they we like it or hate it - business model wise, having exclusive games to specific consoles makes the world go round. They may have got millions of digital applause online when they said they wouldn't do exclusives, but they kissed goodbye to console wars when that happened. Its just not what the gaming world has ever been and thats why Sony and Nintendo will continue to make the big profits when they bring out their own exclusives.
