I wouldn't be so sure. Atalanta away is traditionally a tough one for Inter and they have a pretty solid squad this year.
I will be following both games. Pulling for Inter and Arsenal victories. Now that Inter have a competent manager the results will come.
Both should be great games.
That's better!
You mean Sega.

Yaya, Xavi, and Hazard shouldn't be on there. Mata, Busquets, and Vidal should be on there. The rest of the list looks good.
NO VIDAL AGAIN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Come on. Embrace the Inter spirit and realise the beauty of completion.
Mikel Arteta has failed me. That is unacceptable!
Good, needs a good rest. Principino in. Should be more than enough for Catania.
Inter merda.
Lightning is stabbing me straight through the heart
NOOOOOO
In FIFA's irrelevant popularity contest.

Do you guys think that Marchisio has been kind of stuck at the same level for a couple of years? Not saying this a bad thing or anything, but I found curious how much progress Pogba and Vidal have made during the past seasons and I look at Marchisio and think that he hasn't reach his full potential.
Who do you dislike more, Inter or Fiorentina? Inter looking good so far this season. CL place possible if they can keep it up.

Your office is more relevant than Adam Sessler
I wouldn't say stuck at the same level as much as being 'outshone', if that's even a word.
It's no surprise that he was better than Vidal (and everyone really except for Pirlo) in our 4-3-3 two seasons ago. 3-5-2 isn't really made for him, or most of our players.
Inter!
It's hard to hate Viola (as much as they hate us) because they aren't exactly our 'rivals'.
Edit: This shit must stop though

There are many examples of GAF going overboard with hate on certain things. This is not one of them.
Yeah probably, like the xbox one hate (not that I like it, but it's just too much)

Why do people on gaming-side act like the Xbox One and PS4 have been maxed out with BF4? Obviously we're reaching the point of diminishing returns, and we should be starting closer to the consoles' max since they're more architecturally similar to PCs than ever, but there will be PS4 games looking far superior to BF4 probably at launch, let alone in 4 or 5 year's time
You have to imagine that the Xbone hate would be no where near its current levels if Microsoft hadn't tried to get away with their DRM concepts in the first place. The truth is that while the PS4 does appear to be better in pretty much every dimension as hardware, the Xbone stuff looks passable. It's just that Microsoft expressed their disdain for their primary market so bluntly and lied all the way through it. People are out for blood now.
Can anyone here legitimately say that your favorite games of the generation were games with top end graphics, and that visuals were a reason you liked it?
My favorites all ran shitty or have mediocre graphics for the most part, except for TLOU. Dragon's Dogma, Journey, Binding of Isaac, Dragon's Crown, Demon's Souls, Persona 4, Gravity Daze, The Last of Us, Bayonetta, Yakuza 4, Kentucky Route 0.. not one of them, aside from TLOU, is an "eye-candy" game. I couldn't care what resolution they run in or whether or not there's aliasing, I loved them all for other reasons.

It helps that Demon's Souls has the best art style of the generation
The Last of Us and Uncharted 2 are my favourite games of the generation, and also the best looking games imo (PS3-exclusive, at least)
Uncharted 2 in particular owes a large part of its quality to the graphics
Yeah, but that's part of the point. In pretty much no circumstance do I like a game because it has the best texture quality, or the resolution is highest. I imagine most people in their late 20s, who started around the NES generation, feel the same.

Assassins Creed 4 looks distinctly mid-last gen :s
Stiff animation, impactless combat, no attempt whatsoever to avoid clipping through vegetation
How the fuck is Mourinho shortlisted for the coaching Balon d'Or? Dismal season for Real Madrid, ended up being hated by their fans, and he's been back at Chelsea for 2 unremarkable months

Flawless segue.
What's not to hate about this?
Couldn't agree more with this.
These comparison .gifs and dick waving about 720 or 1080p resolution is the most soul crushing, pathetic thing to witness. Is your enjoyment of a game really impaired because a guys sleeve is slightly fucking darker than it would be on the PS4?
Capital One Cup on Setanta, which I ditched a while back.
Sigh. Will check result and watch delayed.
Happy non-Moyes-related news: thesis is basically complete. Lumped drafted sections into one doc, hit word count, got 81,000.
The journey (parallel, in many ways, to Abou Diaby's career) nears its end.

I guess you're right.
Conte and his love for 3-5-2 is the best thing from Juve (aside Pogba)

That's not the point really for me. Whichever system is putting out better graphics is likely to have more of a focus out on it by thrid parties during development, and will get a boost in its chances to win the generation, and will have less chance of receiving bad ports. On a game-by-game basis its a minor advantage, but if it makes the PS4 the superior system for hundreds of games, its a pretty big deal
Well, I'm not saying that I won't get a PS4. I will, and definitely the fact that the hardware is stronger is factoring into that, but what I really care about is that Sony has been transparent with their objectives, have focused on bringing varied software, and are, from where I stand, pushing the medium forward by giving indie devs a proper environment in which they can work and thrive. I was just examining the whole concept of putting focus on graphical minutiae where when it comes down to it, the best and most memorable gaming experiences are completely unrelated to fetishist details.
Well the 360 has generally been the system of choice for multi plats this gen, but I've played a ton of games on both systems and the difference is minute at best. If you put me in front of a screen there's no way I'd be able to tell which system it was based on the graphical performance.
Bethesda games excepted. lol.
I actually think the match was fixed, someone paid him. IIRC, he's a pretty decent GK.

I probably won't even have money left to pay for PS+

Robben looks so old now.
I'm not surprised. Everything about the game looks more appealing and an improvement over AC3. Then again, I'm also a fan of the series so I guess it's easy for me to be interested.
AC4 does look great though. Looking forward to it.
Seems like a 20-30 euro buy to me. Not buying AC games on launch day after AC 3.
A Ubisoft game, launching for the new consoles? Of course its going to get great scores. Watch BF4 And CoD get 9s & 10s across the board as well.
