I've been putting off watching Happy Gilmore 2. Little worried it'll spoil my feelings on how good number 1 was. You've reminded me though that I've been wanting to watch Nobody 2 so I need to find out which streaming service its on.

Do you think Nuno just didn't want to be there anymore and felt it was going to drop off so forced to get out now? Heard it was because Edu came in as some Techinical Head of Football and they didn't get on. Good to see Ange back so quickly though.

I agree that they don't look unbelievable, but like I say, that should still be enough to finish 10th or above somewhere. I didn't think they'd be challenging for top 4. Possibly a late run for top 6 perhaps but I still think thats unlikely.

Yeah it seems to have a cult following but I do remember the first one being really well received as back then it felt quite unique aesthetically. I may have a look on console if there is a bundle for the both of them. I'm sure I recall @Stretch616 playing the first one and raving about it.

Fantastic. 100% hard agree. Can't wait to watch this ❤️

I know its easy to hammer this, but in a weird way it reminds me of when you feel you don't want to watch a really thought provoking movie, so you just find the best simplistic action movie from the 80s/90s because you know what to expect. It feels comfortable and for those reasons, I actually look at and think I'd defo play this 🤣🤣 Just like Mafia games, a simple level design with basic combat. Lets hope its an easy Platinum @slamminbones👀 That being said, I wouldn't pay AAA prices at all. Pretty sure 1-2 months afterwards, the game will be on sale around £40.

If Liverpool don't win the league, its a travesty, even without getting Guehi now - looks like they'll get him in January anyway. Championship is completely all over the shop as always, good to not look at any tables so far. Was a very interesting day seeing lots of players move around the top 2 leagues. Still think Madueke is an absolute steal from Chelsea to Arsenal. In a boring game, he was the only shining light that nearly helped Arsenal edge Liverpool. I'm sue when Eze gets up to speed they'll be up there no doubt. Man Utd will be top half now for sure. Mbeumo and Cunha look fantastic for them, but they seem to be a team that has to score lots more goals because they always look like conceding 2-3 goals every game.

Hard to compete against what they offer however you do have UCL this season so I did expect some to come to Spurs now Franck is in charge. Levy needs to stick with him for longer than a season though....

@crispymorgan installed it I think. I'm not sure I'm in the mood to go back to this given BF6 is just around the corner.

Eze going to Arsenal after everything agreed at Spurs 😬 Player (and agent) Power is defo in full swing of late. Still surprised Man Utd havent bid for Wharton yet.

Showed the gulf in class between Prem and Championship in the first 90 mins. I was happy about it, and you know why 😃 however it just highlights the bigger picture again and we're not any closer to a solution.

I think the game is worthwhile to buy as it will get some hours ploughed into it. I do agree though that's more because there aren't many games that really shine of late (you could extend that to over 12-18 months). Its a game that really needs multiple squads working together, not just your squad. We were busting a gut last night to win a conquest game on the new big map for this weekends beta and it was such a struggle to keep up with the opposition. King of the Hill worked relatively well last night, although feels like that's more for the CoD players coming across. I wonder how much of the game they are holding back for official launch. Maybe it'll have a rocky start due to the playerbase but you can see there is a good foundation for a game here and certainly one that will grow in time. Btw, whats the advantage of being anything other than Assault or Medic? Couldn't see what difference the other roles were performing so far in the Beta.

Prem is back tonight. You can see how much of a spectacle it really is now compared to 10-20 years ago. Championship for me is getting worse. Watched some awful games last week, including Blackburn looking very poor against West Brom. Only Bristol smashing Sheff Utd was a really good game to watch. So many teams struggling to cope with cash.

Yeah, Son is a huge miss to the PL, not just Spurs. One of the all-time greats, never thought he'd stay at Spurs for that long, given how consistent he was there. One of the big guns you would've thought could have bought him in and he would've won more trophies for sure. Glad he got that one before he went to LA.

You finally made it Josh! YAY! Glad you've become a part of the furniture or so to speak. I'm sure Matt @Luseth is delighted to have his brother here to annoy the crap out of each other. Welcome, officially, to FG mate. Hope to see your thoughts on the BF6 beta if you get chance for a few more games this weekend. Nah, thats US Josh @igotmollywhopped now iJoshimiro on PSN 😄

Looks like EA sending some emails linked to your progress. Here's mine from last weekend. I'll try and get on this weekend before my hols 😄

We need more of this at FG 🤣

Agree with this. I only did Assault and didn't feel like i needed to do anything else as others were running Medic. I read that as good feedback overall. Some good, some bad. Whats helpful is the last 2 BFs haven't been at this level at the beta stage.

You think it was okay before this?! 🤣

This is so strange to me. Everything he said was for me what you want out of a Battlefield game 🤷‍♂️ TLDR - I think what I'm seeing is what happened to people talk about Destiny. They want something fresh and evolved but once they do, they don't like it. Clearly small and medium maps dictate his thoughts. For me, if we have way too much open space like alot of older Battlefield games, in this era we will just get 40 snipers taking people out anywhere between 1-5 minutes of running from original spawn points. Thats just so annoying and a real turn off if you can't get into gunfights and flanking early. He said about Snipers doesn't work as they're downed - but that doesn't make sense. If you're good enough to get headshots, there in no respawn so thats a huge bonus. If you down them he says its pointless but thats a great thing to happen to stop the enemy flow. I hate snipers with a passion, but thats surely their use - and also impacts the ticket system in a good way for your team. I didn't see many diamonds in my game, maybe that will happen more as people start spotting people more and more so lets give him that point. On a game like this to get control points, I actually think we need to do what he thinks is wrong, which is tactically play in your group, make your way to the area you want to control. I can't see any of our beta games were like 'gungame' as he mentions. Gungame is no way near this game. Maybe its time Battlefield fans have to understand it has to evolve to stay in the limelight. The larger maps sound like a good way to see where the game is long term. But I do hope there is lots of cover, like there has been in the few maps we tried. Working in teams and to try and take a control point seems a far more enjoyable way to win a game than sit back and let snipers take you out like Lemmings walking off a cliff.

On Witch Queen - Agreed, totally top tier content. In the old style campaigns it was always Forsaken that was the one that rivalled this but Witch Queen brought so many things to the game and compelling long campaign missions that you felt rewarded when completing it. Lightfall - Glad you got it done @J4MES OX4D. Maybe I should attempt to go back to it, but I knew it felt off from the start. Final Shape - I can maybe see why you found some things frustrating. Some hard moments as a group on the campaign near the latter missions. The end part is quite challenging on Legendary. I enjoyed the final heroic battle with everyone. It was a bit gimmicky, sure. But if you have been with Destiny for 10 years, it was great to finally see your guardian fight way more alongside your NPC allies. Never thought of the Zavala bit in detail until now. Maybe it was put in there to disguise where the story was headed. Some really key things happened in the storyline though if you follow the backstory of everything. Zavala was set up just before Final Shape to start becoming a little more angry and less controlled. Edge of Fate - I've started it. Not done enough yet to warrant me seeing if its any good or not. I miss the enjoyment of running in a crew through the storyline so maybe that is impacting and skewing my feelings.

Is there a roadmap of what they are introducing over time into the game at all?
