@Ricky-Spanish never had Ricky Spanish down as a united fan anyway... would have thought more dr. Penguin 😉🤪

But yes, I did forget Hodgson and I remembered Kenny as interim after I posted - wasn't (i think) a another Scottish player interim as well once - the Bald midfielder from late 90s - early 00s. It was mc something (duh!).

But id take constant Europe atm... this 3 year plan or whatever it is for united is just buzzwordsto partially satiate fans in the short term. I remember alpine saying the same a few years back with alonso in f1 and now they're back markers 🤣

@Ricky-Spanish oh yeah I get all of that - the one thing that really put me on van gaals side was when shaw broke his leg and the interview he gave after the match. Showed a lot of empathy for him, so wasn't just a footballing robot in my eyes.

And I may be wrong, but I dont think liverpool went through so many managers... though I dont mind being corrected, all I can remember since the 90s is Evans, houllier (sic?), benitez then klopp.

My ex said that the weekend though that when they finished mid table it was like the end of the world, and we were laughing when I said try finishing near relegation and somehow being one of the best countries (edit - teams) in Europe 🤣

"Its a funny old game" - Sir Jimmy of Greaves.

@Decoy_Snake my ex says the same to me regarding the contract - but im a realist and know it ebbs and flows. Its not just amorim thats the problem- even my liverpool supporting ex wanted several managers to stay because of the play style and not ironically for results. United are quick to forget that Fergie was nearly sacked until a cup win, and now we are at the point when even van gaal was sacked after winning the F A cup... so im not surprised now with any decision the board makes. 🤣

@sanderson72 certainly was when I think in 2020 I spent around 150 quid on a 1tb ssd 🤣

@MasterChiefWiggum I personally wouldn't even mess with it as no problems... and also the sliders will probably come in well after ive finished it, and will play dlc in exactly the same way.

Hopefully they can fix it for more sensitive people, but id sat the memory leak issue is far more egregious, even though again, no problems from my side.

I really dont "see" the problem with FOV. plays fine for me and im a long sighted, lazy left eyed glasses wearer.

Sometimes I don't get all this hubbub... maybe im old and remember rise of the robots and other games with major problems from back in the day 🤣

@Jammer its really not a wreck in my gameplay. Playing on performance mode and clocked 50 hours (including the counter running in stand by mode on the console) so far.

Few dips in frames, but to be honest nothing game breaking my side. Maybe im just lucky, or people are playing way too much... I can comfortably say ive maybe averaged a good chunk of hours per day.

The main problems ive had is random effects glitches (that aren't part of the weaponry) and its been fine in co op... so who knows? 🤷

@Anke gotta wait for more AI gubbins - will be utilised on a server farm the size of Ireland 🤪

@devil76 indeed... i mean even a 5 is a bang average game (ie there's something to like there) in my eyes... but people who think like every game should be 8/9/10 are deluded. Doesn't matter how many years it takes to develop something, or the cash invested. If the creative aren't up to scratch you wont get those scores; but if the concept is seen and it works then 5,6 or 7 is fine by me also. Anything below that shows next to no merit for me as then we're looking at there being several things wrong - not to say I always play 5 and 6... but you get the gist.

@Fiendish-Beaver completely agree with the 8/10 front... if i kept building my switch physical collection on 9s and 10s only it would be slim pickings in a mainly nintendo set of games.

To be more on topic, Im a mark for borderlands anyway as ive played them all; and a mid 85 is what I would expect for a "good' borderlands game - 1 was extremely tough at points, 2 was toilet humour city, TPS was quite shallow and 3 had a terrible set of protagonists... so a lacking story here fits in a "normal" BL game to me, and keeps my excitement high for the gameplay which is my favourite part anyway if im honest with the building of characters in a skill tree.

Anyone dismissing it without a review really needs to get out more - i know its not everybody's "thing" but death stranding ain't my thing and I dont bash it. Im expecting a decently smooth experience during gameplay, and if its below 60fps in performance I get that as its UE5, which anyone who knows, knows the problems there.

As long as performance is up to a standard, it should be ok, and I anticipate thats what the day one patch is for, which online games will always need anyway. The main problem I always have anyway when these come out is matchmaking, which is kinda essential for a co op game, so as long as that works out the box ill be happy to play what I have and build.on it with more inevitable patches.

So we gonna buddy up then liam? Get a group together and do an en masse critic and reader review 🤣

@Sergo iant that every ubi game day one? 🤣

@Sergo how do you mean? For example, NintendoLife (sister site) awarded it 8/10 and said (paraphrasing here) its not as laborious as an AC game, so if i wasnt bored of star wars i would have given it a go on any console - so depends what reviews you read, i guess 🤣... Also, not that I listen to it all too much, as graphics aren't important to me, but DF says its a great port as well with both graphics and performance.

@Sergo switch 2 owners as despite Internet saying otherwise in the run up to launch, it runs surprisingly well (ubi never corrected the leaked videos).

So if you are a switch only gamer, its a "new" game, and there a lot of switch 2s already out in the wild.

@Slayer25c indeed, im a fan of ff7 but no Hard-core fanboy, and being a fan of multiversal theory well before marvel made it cool makes me enjoy this remake story wide for what it is. Even my ex who is a bigger fan enjoys it - though I do have to explain parts of the story and why stamp is different in parts of the story 🤣

As ive mentioned in other places, the only problem i had with the 2 games so far was the busywork of rebirth. If part 3 is more streamlined and does keep taking you out of the story every 10 mi utes with a new mini game, im looking forward to seeing what should be a changed ending... maybe sephiroth wins in this one and decides he'll be a good guy 🤣

@ElectricWizard I actually prefer the look of the black one, as the gold merges too much with the white in my eyes. Maybe there'll be a bit of gloss on the final product to make it pop a little... maybe not! We shall see!

@Veritas7Ax grats dude!

Got both 😁 my comment is too short.

@themightyant i understand your point completely, and I was as good as a "day one" ps5 owner, but personally im not seeing much bang for my buck by way of games. Ironically im a solo gamer 99% of the time, and with the amount and quality of even 3rd party games you'd think i was in nirvana, but im too anxious to play silent hill 2, soulslikes dont interest me because I dont "got game" etc... so in my stance im happy to stick with the ps5 for a good while.

Granted, I also have a switch 2 and will buy all 1st party physical games to get the nintendo experience, so I have more flexibility than someone with one machine.

But this year all I can remember playing on ps5 is patapon replay, clair obscure and currently thps 3+4, so 4 remasters from 5 games; which is a bit shocking as someone that loves to play games in my spare time 🤣

I mean I do have borderlands next week (i think!) But even though its pre ordered, im on the fence as to how much ill play it due to the third one. Im hoping its a step up, or im done with that franchise as well... maybe its just because im getting old and focus / tastes in hobbies are changing, but my gaming habits have shifted a lot since the release of ps5, but especially when its been a heatwave in the UK ive much more enjoyed painting / playing an instrument either with a sheet music book / rocksmith than play a traditional game.

So no arguments from me with your point. I've still got my ps5, and will continue to keep it; but i will wait and see how the games pan out for ps6 if I consider getting one down the line. We all seek our own value!

@themightyant agree with "high end electronics getting lower" - its not true.

I had an s23 ultra back in 23 around launch (unlocked, etc) and its was £1200. Because I noticed a big difference to the midrange phones ive had in the past, ive been keeping an eye on s24 / 25 and the 25 from the same website is £150 more for the same storage.

The only 2 reasons I haven't upgraded is because the stats / reviews basically show its the same phone (to the casual observer like me that wont use every function), and the fact that I find my s23 that good im still happy with battery life only needing to charge it once a day.

So high end electronics are still going up, whether people believe that or not. Yes you may get more bells and whistles as time goes on, but as someone that never uses a macro on a camera (though my gf does on mine), why would i want to upgrade to something I see as adjacent for a higher outlay than what I have and perceive as the same?

It's the general public i feel sorry for in a way as there are undeniably people who wait until mid - late gen with consoles to get a bargain; but the only decreases that are happening are what comes with the machine, whilst the price goes up. Though saying that, im also aware of sonys profits being high (yet the need to make more as a company), and the correlation with other adjacent "slap a new badge on it" products.

As others have said, its been a weird generation; i know i wont be going all out for a ps6 in whatever form it takes, same as im not getting said new phone, as now im in my 40s, ive learnt how to compare items and think about what im getting compared to just giving people my money; especially in this economy.

That said, the world is just weird altogether. Im also the type of person that would rather pay more for the same with food inflation than less for the same; but we've been conditioned with electronics that they come down over time - and I think we need to start realising that the only way they're coming down anytime soon is quite literally stock clearance.

Sorry for the big reply to you directly. Kind of my view to everyone complaining about things should be the same price 🤣

@Phelaidar not lewis Hamilton? I'd imagine in about 18 months time he'd have a lot of time free, the way his legacy is being dismantled by Ferrari 🤣

@Boxmonkey 🤣🤣🤣

The cinema flick wants to "honour and expand upon what has made this franchise great in the first place"

So teenagers yelling expletives in your ear whilst wearing a headset and being teabagged in the cinema?

Sounds lush for some people... not for me though 🤔

@judgmentarrows also, helldivers isnt a £70 game... at least it wasn't when I bought it day 1 🤣

@Bez87 I'd agree and also throw in say Project Gotham, considering how much time i thre into Metropolis Street on the dream cast... thats the type of gane id love to see again modernised.

@kyleforrester87 maaaat daaamon.

It does look pretty good, but after the demo stages of journey, I had a massive migraine; so not for me, unfortunately.

@Bsb56 why is the fast pace so trailered? That what you meant? 🤭

Hopefully I can finish grow up this time then, as when I first played it, I had a save bug that wiped all my progress 🤣

@Czar_Khastik you've obviously never seen 2-D's stand in when he can't make the live gigs... they certainly dont share the olè de Jamie with Damon 🤣

@Balaam_ or you know... give up on "clean" lists like i did about 5 years ago. If i like a game, I'll try and plat it. If I just want to see the credits, then thats all ill do. After about 350 platinums I realised I didn't respect my own time, let alone the people who curate the lists and try to give purists a challenge.

Better off paying 70 and enjoying a game for 25 hours, than constantly moaning its too labour intensive, and how dare the dev want you to play what they developed like a nightmare mode 🤣

@dimi just dated as its more a continuation. In a way I kind of respect that, as it means a less jarring experience between episodes; but if your a "modern gamer" coming into it, it can be extremely jarring if you dont have a reference point to how advanced the game was in 2000.

@Bagwag82 I was just wondering that ... well my name, not yours 🤣

Pause the video at 37 seconds, and thats AI at its best 🤣

@11001100110zero the problem of sorts is that some devs see it as a "quick buck"; maybe they are unsure if it will sell because of release date (what its up against), or any other number of factors like if there's an appetite for the game.

I guess if you are a small indie studio and someone offers you (just random figures here) 500k for a game you spent 100k developing, its an instant win, as in profit.

But of course, if there was an appetite and it becomes a breakout hit, like say balatro, you could then be losing out on millions of sales... its very much an Occams razor scenario in some cases.

But to your overall point, I generally agree that no one is forcing them - just hope the above explains the pros and cons. 👍

@get2sammyb played both console and handheld... you are not alone!

@Rich33 I hope so too, but history tells us bad things with such big delays. Will be very happy to be proven wrong is so, however!

Remember buying the first game for PC and my girlfriend at the time loved it, and played it more than me as I liked the story, and didn't like the horror elements, and vice versa, so everytime I got freaked out, she'd play it for me 🤣🤣🤣

Add to that she had her own save file for when I did driving lessons, overtime etc, so definitely played more than me 🤪

Isn't it a penguin and a pig? Who knows!

@XanderTigerclaw can I.... can't i say 1st?! Oh no... ok then 🤣👍

How has nobody picked up on the fact of the blatant fact that if he was looking for a "b" button, id like to know why he was playing it on PC in the first place 🤣

@LikelySatan I dont remember the fact they made two. I only remember judgement day, which was a great start and finish to camerons franchise.

@rjejr jesus, mun! Ai vs ai is a grim view even for me... but wholly understand your point and never thought of it that way... ever tried sending a script to Charlie Brooker with an ai "wargames trained by narcissists" scenario?. I know the world "ended" 2 seasons ago in a semi similar fashion... but I think your idea is more a series!

@rjejr ironically if ai is trained on dystopian movies, it will believe that the rise of the machines is a prophecy, and terminator will become something of a bible...

Half said in jest, half really not...

@nessisonett are you mad?! What the world needs now is Columbo reboot 🔥😜

@Northern_munkey just my favourite driver... honestly thought Oscar had that... to bring it back on topic I bet Stella was sweating more than a skin grafted ps5 🤪🤣

@Northern_munkey landoooooo!

@FourDayBeard but this is 4 better than diablo! 4!

If i can figure out a way to get the sound to my laptop, I'll look forward to using this with my volcas, Roland and stylophones... shouldn't be too hard to record some loops even without exporting as an option 👌

Another reason to dip in on a 3rd format!

I'm gonna buy it - been day 1 since bl2... but nothing way in jack am I paying for the premium dlc enabled edition. Wonderlands scarred me with that scam...

I'll wait for a sale on dlc, thank you - maybe the full bundle and get it still probably cheaper than the "full edition" as i have no interest in skins for my weapons. 🤣
