Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

@Bizzy I’ve had PlayStation since console 1. I like Xbox and have a PC and play Xbox and other games there. Not everything needs to be unhealthy competition or ‘us vs them.’

This is a great site albeit I joke it’s now ‘Push Portal’ as they push that device all the time!

In all seriousness, language from adults such as ‘PC idiots’ and ‘master race’ etc is childish. Just because Steam are creating a console/PC hybrid that might (it won’t) threaten your plastic box?

Healthy Competition is good. More people playing games and hopefully together is good.

Copilot of Duty.
I would say, just don’t buy this garbage, but it’s not my money.
I used to like the series especially the campaigns but MP not so much. Especially the ridiculous skins.
Microsoft have done well to tank the CoD behemoth.
Fingers crossed it’s a disaster so they think about hiring actual people again.

Re: 'Told You So': Ex-FTC Chair Lina Khan Is Having the Last Laugh Over Xbox's Activision Acquisition

I said this years’ ago and the narrative was F the UK CMA and FTC.
I wasn’t against the merger per se as I felt Xbox needed something extra to compete with PlayStation but I wanted to see due diligence by the authorities.
What we got was Microsoft being bullies and many people cheering it on for their cheap Game Pass sub.
Lots of people have lost their jobs, games have been cancelled and Game Pass is apparently now Xbox $360. With ads.

Re: EA Sports FC 26's First PS5, PS4 Trailer Is an Ode to the Haters

@DaveTheRave you mean customers? EA want to sell games to their customers right? I’m not sure what you are trying to say…

The video looks positive so we will see! 25 was OK until all the patches took away heading a goal being a thing. I like how they have directly taken on complaints and wants in the video. Pretty cool.

I do miss PES but that franchise is so dead. Such a shame.

I will likely still get FC 26 as my son loves it too. TBF the teams, leagues and general presentation is unmatched.

Re: Round Up: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 PS5 Reviews Say Shove-It to the Sceptics

I’ve had a good read of Game Spot and others on Metacritic. I wouldn’t personally describe THPS 4 as ‘butchered’ but certainly changed and very different from what they are saying. I’ve never played any Tony Hawk games until the 2020 remake so it does not matter to me but does sound like a missed opportunity and can see why some would be unhappy. That being said all the reviews I’ve seen are overwhelmingly positive and 100% an arcade antidote to the GAAS garbage of 2025.
Cdkeys doing £40 PSN voucher for £35 so this is already pre-installed ready for release. Cannot wait.
I’m just pleased we are still getting these types of games!
