I’m just glad he can say that word at all in a Rams’ commentary at any level!?????
Well now we've signed Cole, he can't say that either.

I already hate the way our media are framing this. "Nantes Demand Sala Fee". Why is this even a headline or a story? Did people seriously believe that Nantes would just waive the fee out of respect? "Cardiff stall on Sala payment" would be far more accurate.
'Stall' probably not the best choice of word in this situation.

Now its on sale, my friends and I will probably jump in. Not played it before.
But, reports from folks I know who have say its fun while its all new - but it becomes pretty tedious after a while. 3-4 weeks is what you're looking at. They described anyone who plays it for more than a month as "touched". Which is why we waited til it was on sale.
No idea what the solo experience is like, I've never met anyone who's played it solo.
Played it a bit when it first came out as it was on Game Pass (which, you may aswell get for like £1 free trial and play this rather than buy it).
Lovely art style, a bit of fun to be had when playing in a group. Awful solo experience, as it's very much "make your own fun". Not much fun to be had beyond a few sessions, to be honest.

Just to say how much I have enjoyed the coverage of the under 23s and under 18s games this week with Owen Bradley and Marc Edworthy commentating.
It's a good balance with both Owen and Marc concentrating on the game.
(Although I did hear someone having a little pop at Zak Brunt tonight!)
I agree, although I do wish Edworthy could pronounce the 'l' in the word 'goal'.

The problem is full AAA releases carving up games, withholding content, inbalancing the game just to get money from microtransactions. EA are the biggest scumbags of the lot. Absolutely destroying that Star Wars game to the point where they had to patch the progression system once they disabled the microtransactions after the huge backlash - just proving the point that they were completely game altering to a fault. Yet they don't care, because they still make billions because they invented ultimate team game modes on every sports franchise they own the monopoly on.
Other games have had microtransactions bolted onto the game after the fact due to greedy producers, again, ruining the entire game. Biggest example of this would be the newest Deus Ex, which Square Enix ruined by doing this. But they're not the only ones.
If you pay for a full price game, you should get the full game. This is just the latest iteration of the games industry finding another way to get all of the money, rather than just a boat load of it. They have tried before with online passes required to try and kill the preowned market, massive pre-order bonus culture to entice presales to pay for the game before it's even made and alike.
I don't have any issue with free games, like League of Legends, or cheap games like Rocket League making their money through skins and other cosmetics - which have no effect on the balance of the game. Where Rocket League and League of Legends does it right, is that there's a very limited number of items you can possibly get in any given Rocket League box, of which you can trade afterwards anyway, and League of Legends lets you buy the actual item you want. Even then, it's not ideal, but at least these games don't charge you £45 to play it to begin with, before letting you know you've only got a small portion of the game, and you have to grind an ungodly amount of time to do the cool stuff with shelling out yet more money.
The Asian market has at least taken the step of making games disclose the odds on each item in loot boxes, it's a small step, but it's showing how it is being now thought of as gambling.
Games like Overwatch are always given an easy ride on this, but they shouldn't be. Mainly because it's Activision, and they tried to patent a matchmaking system which would literally put people without any DLC items against people with them, to make them want to buy them. They have loot boxes with a huge number of items in them, with such tiny odds, and it very much preys on the haves and have nots, and specifically a younger audience.

Download the option files and you have a fully licenced Pes anyway.
Which is better than fifa. Well, offline gameplay anyway.
and it's not even close this year.
Just a shame we can't do that on xbox - but it's still better to play, and that's more important for me.

The perception of security maybe? Although at the rate EA kills off studios I wouldn't be so sure. I was particularly surprised by Respawn as they are guys that worked on Call of Duty at Activision and ended up leaving, I wouldn't have thought they would be so keen to put themselves back under the control of one of the big boys.
Money talks I guess, the move will have made the decision makers very rich I would imagine.
Titanfall was being published by EA anyway, so clinging onto hope nothing changes.

EA removed the button for a refund off their website to make you call too.
God they're shitty - no wonder they won worst company in the US twice in a row.
But hey, you all still bought FIFA.

Anyone else playing Shadow of War? Its the sequel to Shadow of Mordor which I thought was awesome and so far this is pretty good also.
Enjoying the ridiculous amount of pay to win, microtransactions they've added in? Absolute joke.

@David How have you found Destiny 2?
Suzi and I finished the majority of D1 and I got to light level 377 last weekend so moved on to D2. Thought the game looks a lot better than the first and they have made some excellent changes. The Cabal move a lot better IMO, like they are organic rather than robots. Being able to go to your next planet from your current location instead of going to orbit first is a time saver.
Suzi insisted we had our own clan despite it being just the two of us and maxing out our weekly contributions in two days hence rejecting your clan invite. Have hit lvl 17 iirc so will look at doing some raids etc soon if you are interested?
Having your own clan is pointless. The more people in it the better, it's just a way to get free luminous engrams - which you won't get anywhere near as many buy yourself. It serves no other purpose.

@David just slight away from topic. wondering if you can help. I got a few old iphones at home and I want to give them to the kids so they can play games and watch videos. My brother in law has managed to do it but he admits he doesn't know who he has managed to but he has given his old iphone to his lad and he is able to send iMessage to my wifes iphone with no sim card in. The only phone numbers he has got on the phone is his aunty (my wife), his mum and dad. How can I do it? I just want to do it so they can send messages to people like their grandad etc that all got iphones
imessage via wifi, using an apple ID

If anyone's getting offended of being facepalmed then:
a) stop saying stupid things to warrant a facepalm
b) ban them for being so sensitive.

Oh I have Titanfall 2. *might* have GTA but probably not. Will check.
Play OW with PC friends - May be open to getting GTA on Xbox cos you can link accounts, depends on cost.
We don't play GTA too often. Titanfall and Rocket League we play the most I'd say. EA Access probably a good shout, you can get fifa, ufc, battlefront, battlefield etc all on there

I recently set my Xbox back up (was out of action due to redecorating) - I don't have Xbox Live at the moment (use the console for Amazon/Netflix/Now TV etc.) but I'm open to playing games on it, for sure.
Pretty sure I own Rocket League on it. What games do you guys play?Titanfall 2, Overwatch, Rocket League and GTA currently... might be forgetting one.

You know I dug this topic out to see if anyone still played Rocket League. Surprised it was the last topic of discussion. Not my main game anymore but I still play it a lot.
Top 2% in most stats now. Close to breaking 1,000 rating (Champion ranks) in solo 3v3. Friends are still terrible but ones starting to get better.
@Broderick got rusty
Play it all the time on xbox.
Do you still play xbox? @David, @Alex W and I play several different games together

Titanfall 2 is amazing.
Better than Battlefield, better than Gears and I'm not even going to talk about the terrible new COD.

They treated him well for nearly 30 years, and he treated them well back. There are falling outs in business, largely about long term business decisions (as discussed above). The internet got their knickers in a bizarre twist over Kojima though, even though most couldn't name his works beyond Metal Gear, nor could most detail the timeline of what happened with his exit. More hate is directed toward a company over an internal matter where both parties ended up arguably better off than is directed to actual scandals within the industry.
You are taking a bizarre stance in favour of a massive corporate machine in a creative industry.

The gaming market comes in waves, there's still every chance that the Japanese home console market will pick up again one day, and with it demand for the kind of content they used to make. The big question mark there is what the hell the Nintendo NX actually is. All sorts of conflicting rumours about hybrid home and portable consoles, but until that's revealed it's hard to know either what Nintendo's long term plan is, or if it has any hope of succeeding. If Nintendo can recombine the Japanese home and portable markets, that's the kind of thing that could change the direction of lot of companies like Konami are moving in.
The games that Konami make now are generally very niche (i.e. PES, Yugioh games, etc.), but tend to be of high quality. They've game downhill in terms of outright number of big name titles, but they're still making good games.
They treated Kojima really well...
