I can't take it anymore. My flu is getting better of me so I am gonna hit the bed.
I hope Everton at least give me a glad tidings when I wake up!
 
The Two Faces of January was good. Gorgeous-looking, but ultimately a bit soulless and dull. No tension whatsoever really.

Issac looks a bit like Pacino from GF pt 2, so that's a plus I suppose, lol

I've never played a Mass Effect game but the original is on PSN for £3.

Should I give it a go?

absolutely

Even though 3 is a hollow empty action game masquerading as an RPG the previous 2 especially the first one are great games

Really interesting world building, some good characters, fun side quests.

Mass Effect 1 felt like a world I wanted to explore before Bioware turned it into a series of corridors interrupted with arse clenchingly shit dialogue with Garrus about 'bro' it ing up and Tumblr level rubbish with EDI n Joker

But aye 1 is cracking. Buy buy buy
 
Bloodborne, MGSV, Uncharted 4, Batman: Arkham Knight, The Witcher 3.

I expect I'll enjoy The Order as well, though I can see why others think it looks like shit. What a time to have a PS4.
 
Lotito is a fucking shit head BUT he is right, their finances are a fucking mess and they were warned by UEFA.
For people who don't follow Serie A, this is nothing new for Roma. They've been running serious deficits for years (and this doesn't even include their ridiculous spending over the last couple years). The only reason they weren't penalized sooner and more severely is that they've been hiding their losses behind the construction of their stadium.

And if I'm not mistaken, I think Lazio might be the only EL/CL-competing club in Serie A other than Napoli that posts consistent profits. They're still a bunch of fascist cretins, of course, but they're financially successful fascist cretins.

So you're saying they're going to sell Strootman to us?

Delightful.

Wasn't he 'just' Head of Kojima Productions between MGS3 & 4?

Yeah, he got this role in 2011. He has tweeted in the past about how he know has to find a balance between producer/businessman and artist. He does have the power and autonomy to do whatever he wants, but he has to make money first, (hence Metal Gear as a series that'll never end).

MGSV WILL BE THE GOAT

It's like everything they say about this game gets you people hyped. He could say something like "We have an animation where Snake poops" and you'd all lose your shit.
I liked MGS, never played another one (unless we count ten minutes of MGS3). Just too convoluted for me to enjoy.

3 of the best games of the generation. Perhaps the best series of the generation.

The shooting controls are much tighter after the first game btw. Absolutely give it a go for £3 though.

MGSV does look fantastic tbf

I'm not the biggest MGS fan especially after 4 had such big problems, but can't wait for V

I honestly haven't followed that one (MGSV), it's just that every little bit of news is celebrated like a revelation. I mean, I'm sure it'll be great, Kojima is capable and the MGS formula is fun.
Maybe it's just not for me. That's probably it.

Nah, the stuff afterwards. The story, the characters, the dialogue, it's just too much bullshit, too much intertwined stuff.

nah ignoring the messages Kojima has the characters monologue it's pretty easy to follow. But even then you only need MGS3 and PW to enjoy MGSV, and those are pretty much bs free.
 
My biggest worry with MGSV is the difficulty


If there are a multitude of missions available at any given time, with big rewards for taking on harder missions, I hope you can't cheese the harder missions and unlock things which make the rest of it a breeze.

And make it much, much more advantagous to sneak through missions, MGS4 didn't punish the player at all for shooting their way through it aside from the emblems at the end iirc.

Mind you, I played it on Normal so maybe you're much less survivable and powerful on Hard, and have to avoid fighting enemies.

I'll have to play through MGS3 at some point. I loved MGS, maybe I just need to play a bit more to rekindle that flame.

are you telling me the "spoiler" BS ending wasn't his idea?

Of course all the news is celebrated. It's going to be the best game this gen, why shouldn't we be hyped.

I got the plat for it, which meant finishing it like 10 times(plus the other 10 times I finished it before the trophy patch)...but I don't remember too much lol.

I know that going for the big boss emblem was a bitch. Hardest difficulty, no alerts, no kills, finish under 5 hours etc
