I can't see the reason we're going for Salah when we really need a striker but the manager probably figures that an attacking midfield bears more fruit than a point man. It worked wonders in the first half of last season so why not i guess.

Just picked up this diddy on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/468000/Impact_Winter/ Been looking around for something a little offbeat to play and although its seriously broken (according to reviews) I figure give it a shot.

Its a weird game because the start is terrible then it has some redemption before falling flat on its face. Putting it mildly I had more fun playing something as boxed as Bomberman than I did with this game. Shame really in a year where we've had games like NiOh, Horizon, RE7, Nier, Persona 5, etc and you'd expect a company like Bethesda to do so much better in this particular category too. Just saw that there's a new Divinity on the horizon too and I personally loved the first one. I felt it was better balanced than most other games in the same genre.

That is one of the darkest explanations I have seen for the ending of that game. I can't wait to see what they do next. I quite enjoy their games because they are no frills and lots of thrills. Did you ever end up getting Prey?

Wasn't saying Dortmund was better but that it was close in the excitement, for me of course, when it comes to playing a European game.

I put our game against Dortmund (even if it was just a semi-final) very close to that night in Istanbul where the stakes were higher. And you're right when you say that European nights are very special with Liverpool in them.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/22/destiny-2-how-a-fresh-start-let-bungie-make-its-biggest-game-yet How many people played the first one? I played it for a long time till I got tired of just playing expansions and moved on although have to say when you paired with friends to hit the Crucible it was loads of fun and some of the videos of teams that practiced to get the kinds of scores and loot they got was fun to watch.

LOFL what was that. Accurate to say the least but funny I especially loved the end where they did a Lilo and Stitch for Arsenal and the Europa League.

After getting my head into a space to finally play through all of Prey I can only say this "Its a horrible attempt by Bethesda and should be avoided at all costs unless they can fix all the problems it has". I was unfortunate enough to get the stupid save issue and that put me off a bit but I figured I'd still try and get through it till the end only to realize meh what was that all for. The game mech is very good when you get to later parts of the game but I expected so much more from a company I believe makes some fantastic games. Back to MK I go. So far this year Sony has had the best of the crop when it comes to games and that's always weird considering they generally do one or two good titles in a year.

I don't remember it being easy either. The other game I enjoyed playing from Lucas Arts was Curse of Monkey Island. That's another classic that brings back some good memories.

I played the original a long time ago and that other classic Day of the Tentacle. Masterpieces.

Played it last year and think I even posted about it on the old forum. Its a great game in my book because it creates the environments well, game mechanics aren't overtly hard to grasp and the puzzle-oriented gameplay keeps you engaged. The only gripe I have with this and Limbo are that they're just too damn short. If I am not wrong this one actually worked its way up the ladder to a GOTY award nomination too and they rightfully deserve it.

So after playing Prey for a while now I can say its a lot better than I initially hoped it would be. The survivor style action gaming is good and its not going to be a GOTY by any means but its entertaining enough to keep you playing.

I bought it. It gets a lot more interesting later on but it just feels laggy for some reason. I am going to play it through and see whether it gets better.

Played the new Prey today from Bethesda. For all the hype it nearly generated the game disappoints in the FPS level. I'd have imagined with the other game about space aliens (Doom) that they'd have gone with a far more action oriented adventure style game but so far it seems dull and slow. The skill tree is very nice and the fact that you can create weapons and fabricate stuff is a nice novelty but I can't see this being anything other than a game I play now and then to see how far it goes. People are comparing it to BioShock, SystemShock and Deus Ex but I can't see how they draw those parallels when those games kept you engaged from the start. Persona 5 on the other hand is high-octane fun.

WTF that is all.

@Bluebird Hewitt took your advice and went and got MK8. The fun is ridiculous.

Darksiders III is now official and coming late 2018 according to the leaked images and the Amazon snippet. Steam even has it out now and have to say I am very excited that this game is back the first two imo were really good platformers. https://gematsu.com/2017/05/darksiders-iii-reveal-leaked-ps4-xbox-one-pc

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-ready-smash-transfer-record-10295643 I know I know not credible but you'd imagine they'd be taking a lot of consideration for defensive positions seeing as we've never really had our backline properly playing with each other for most of the season.

News flying around that we're breaking the bank to get Virgil in the summer? I can get behind that because hes a rather solid defender and will do the backline some good as well. Of course there's always the chance he'll come here and struggle initially and get lambasted for not being able to do his job as well but what the hell.

https://www.engadget.com/2017/04/27/nintendos-hardware-visionary-is-calling-it-a-day/?sr_source=Twitter Seems like these days a lot of the people who worked in some of the more creative aspects of the gaming industry are stepping down. Quite an impressive history behind him as well.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/04/after-nintendo-switch-does-the-3ds-have-a-future/ If you have a 3DS then this it isn't all bad immediately but given their history its going the way of the dodo soon.

Quite like the new kit they have for the 125th. Simple and clean.

My initial thought when I saw it was yes I will be getting it on day one but I've kind of neglected my PC for a bit and I used to play a lot of Overwatch there. Saw W4K and said its been a while since I sat down to play a proper strategy game. I think Mario Kart is going to be a fantastic addition to the Switch because of the social aspect of it and the JoyCon being split between two or four players as well so I might pick it up in May but for now I am thinking PC is where I'll be for a while. I blame Nier because if I hadn't gotten it on Steam I'd probably have gotten MK for the Switch.
