Well, I wouldn't say Sahin, Großkreutz, etc did a bad job. On contrast, they did a very good job. The problem however is that the amount of players out mixed with new players not yet completely used to Klopp's system will show at some point. If it was just Sahin for Gündogan and Großkreutz for Kuba, there wouldn't be so many problems. But like Pennywise said earlier, constant lineup changes because of injuries make it hard for a central player like Micky to settle. Just compare a match with Hummels and one without him, our play from defense is completely different.
And we're still playing (slightly altered) the same system that made Großkreutz and Sahin shine in 2010/11, I don't see what different system would improve them.
About the money, last year's numbers don't mean much to be honest. The CL final + selling Götze are a huge part of that and both is income you can't plan with every season. Bayern is just one or (the money from Allianz, Audi and Adidas considered) two leagues above us and any other Bundesliga club money wise. Our Evonik and Puma deals are ridiculously low compared to other European top clubs.

Infamous review day, that thread is going to get good once a 6/10 shows up and people lose it. Betting on Polygon.
Don't think so, it's only that first angle that makes it look like he is. Watch the second angle and you can see his arm is really far away from the ball.
The Titanfall comparison is hilarious.

Even if it's shit, Infamous will be GOAT

Fair enough. I was talking about something less running intensive more man orianted pressing, because if you dont score 2 or 3 goals after an hour you are getting a bit panicky and maybe not as focused. Something I witnessed last year too. But the thing is, soon your board has to decide if Bayern (and the rest of Europe's top 5) or Leverkusen and Schalke are the competiton you want to compete with. I understand Watze being careful about it after the whole Amoroso shit that happened a decade ago, but thats what about to happen.
Of course it will get good reviews, but there is always one which dares to stray from the hivemind and causes a shitstorm.
Strangely enough, some of the most controversial reviews have ended up being more accurate than the standard - thinking particularly of Twilight Princess 8.8 and Uncharted 3 8.
Of course Polygon fucks it all up with their idiocy and the 7.5 TLoU review
Finally you are right about something. About time.

Stop deluding yourself. Ocarina of Shite. Final Fantashit 7. Infamous: Second Son, motherfucker
Comment from the review thread, paraphrased
Because the publishers nowadays have trained their motley crew of hardlycore audience well. Turned most of them into bean counters.
Small number -> Bad. Big number -> good.

My man.
What mission are you on?
The PS2-era GTA series is the greatest trilogy of all time. IV and V don't hold a candle to them.

Like Guerrilla, I hope Sucker Punch go onto something new now. As much as I like the atmosphere of the Killzone (2) and the concept of Infamous, let's be frank, they're both perceived as B-tier franchises for a reason.

The soundtrack or the game?
Overall, SA>3=VC
3 had an amazing atmosphere which makes up for a lot of the things which are objectively worse about it.

Well, pressing is very running intensive as well. Sure, it's less running when it's actually working unlike the pressing we play most of the time recently.
And I think we actually improved with the panicing at minute 60/70 in the last year. Frankfurt in the DFB cup, Marseille and Arsenal in the CL just to name a few were matches in which we kept it cool and scored the goal.
Soundtrack of course.
Game wise, for me it's SA = VC > 3.
San Andreas really felt huge at the time. Amazing they managed to nearly triple the size of the Vice City map on the same platform.

I find it amusing that they whinge about Edge and Eurogamer's scores being unreliable, and then a 10/10 from a site called PlayStation Universe passes through without comment
edit: Not that PSU are necessarily biased with their reviews

I found the whole Eurogamer 8 for Uncharted 3 hilarious.

Compared to Among Thieves, UC3 is a fucking 3/10.

Most of the time.
I:SS could have got 4s and 5s, and I'd have played it since I love the first 2.
New IPs from unknown studios kind of rely on good reviews for me to buy their games though. Even Thief*, which was made by the makers of one of my games of the generation (I think), had reviews which were mediocre enough to put me off even though I like the artstyle and general structure behind the game.
*May as well be a new IP
Review numbers are a bit of an odd thing, aren't they? How many games that have come out truly stood above and beyond everything else in an objective way, where you could say "this game deserves an 8, this one a 9 and this one a 10"? Game reviewers themselves often go back on their word and will later refer to a game as being brilliant when at the time they gave it an average score, or do the opposite where they'll refer to a game as 'disappointing' when they originally gave it a really high number.
Lots of games come out with 90+ meta scores and I just have no interest in them or don't find them fun. Then on the other hand, there are some games which score in the 70s and become favorites for life. And I'd never say "this 90 game is an objectively better game, I just prefer this 75 game" because if I like the 75 game more, then to me it's a better game.
I have some curiosity what reviewers think about games that I like. Eurogamer gave Dragon's Dogma a 7. Says enough.

Infamous currently 79 on Metacritic. KZ Shadowfall 73.
*ahem Don't wanna say I told you so...

People wouldn't get so up in arms bout all this if they didn't have such astronomically absurd expectations for this game. Saw regular 90 metacritic guesses. Madness. They accuse the press of manufacturing hype for Titanfall, but some folks went craaazy for Infamous. Infamous, KZ etc are good games, but nowt more.
But end of the day, it's video games.
Football is where it's at.
Let's argue about that.

"Too much visual fidelity, too much 1080p, too much steady 30 fps, too much variety in level design. But still last generation gameplay".

Man City 2/5. Liked the original, but then they got bought out and became a soulless empty husk of what they used to be. Pretty next gen play though.
