Tbh, I'm gonna hold off altogether for the time being. I remember getting a PS4 shortly after launch and while Battlefield 4 was good, there was pretty much nothing worthwhile until Alien Isolation and Shadow of Mordor almost a year later. That and I still have a fair amount to play on my PS4 and Switch anyway.

Well it is known as Caerfilthy after all. EDIT: Caerphilly in lock down until October at least now. No one allowed in and out of the borough, face masks in shops for anyone 11 and above, no meeting any family or friends, no extended households and......... schools, pubs, bars and restaurants to remain open? Welsh Government in a nutshell there.

Caerphilly will be going into lockdown from 6pm tomorrow, with people not being allowed to leave our enter the borough without good reason, according to the Welsh Government.

Sounds like he could be a good loan move but he's inconsistent and doesn't put a lot of effort in. My hope is that he'll be useful but the part around inconsistency and lacking effort reminds me of Josh Murphy in a way. Has talent but can be very hit and miss.

We're apparently loaning Ojo off you for the season, though I've heard mixed reviews about him. Half decent or will he join the likes of Flint and Pack as utter shite?

Caerphilly and Porth in the Rhondda having local outbreaks. Wouldn't be too surprised as people are simply refusing to listen at all, especially the millennial lot (seeing as Public Health Wales have also mentioned that the 'young adult group' have been reluctant to share details of where they have been and who they have been in contact with, proving my point further that there are many people who are simply not arsed in any way, shape or form and are too selfish to think of others. But hey, at least we can have that holiday). Cardiff has had a bit of an increase in cases as well. Not surprising after seeing videos and pictures outside Coyote Ugly where there was no social distancing just to get inside the place.

Epic really are turning this into an utter shits how, ironically one that they created and fabricated as an 'anti-consumer' stance. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-05-epic-calls-on-court-to-stop-apples-retaliation-against-the-fortnite-maker While I don't have huge love for Apple nowadays, Epic have gone about this completely wrong.

Remasters are fine if done right (Resi 2 and the Crash and Spyro trilogies come to mind), but this just looks like a touch up and not much more. The odd part is the limited number of physical copies and, bizzarely, only being available digitally until the end of March. I'm interested to see how Super Mario Bros battle royale will work mind.

Nintendo, what the actual fuck is this? https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-03-nintendo-confirms-mario-64-sunshine-galaxy-remasters-for-nintendo-switch As much as I like them, they make a lot of very strange decisions. And just for the general announcements to celebrate 35 years of Mario. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-03-everything-announced-in-nintendos-super-mario-bros-35th-anniversary-direct

This is getting petty now. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-08-27-epic-games-snuck-in-one-final-iphone-fortnite-update

Apparently we're on the verge of signing Jordi Osei-Tuta on a season long loan. Any ideas what he's like?

All three are shit in fairness (Epic, Google and Apple). Epic are claiming that this is due to Apple stifling competition (which they are in fairness), but this is nothing more than wanting more money at the end of the day, regardless of the stance they're trying to take.

Trust me. I'm shit at the game despite loving the series. I like sinking time into games I like, but not to the point of 'trying to master' something as to me, it starts to sink the fun out of it if it gets too serious.

Smash Bros is one of those 'easy to play' games with a fair bit of depth if you try to 'master' any of the characters. Granted, it's more frantic than technical ala Street Fighter, but just because it's so easy to pick up and just a lot of fun that I class them as my favourite fighting games. I have Nintendo Online for a couple more months so am happy to give you a game at some point if you fancy it.

Seen some footage of it and it looks pretty good. If they include some form of local play (which I did hear rumours but unsure if it's true), that would be great.

Google has removed Fortnite as well now.

Cunty Company 1 (Epic Games) are suing Cunty Company 2 (Apple) and Cunty Company 3 (Google) due to Epic violating both storefronts to get more money by bypassing both storefronts and offering V-bucks for less money. Both apparently take a decent cut in purchases as well (Apple take 30%, for example). https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-08-13-fortnite-adds-cheaper-mobile-payment-option-to-circumvent-apple-google-fees More at 11.

EA Execs: We need to clamp down on toxicity in our FIFA community. What is the best way to do this? Employee A: Why don't we hire more people and use more sophisticated software to ban cheaters and those who cause issues within the community. EA Execs: Costs too much money to implement Executive A: But we make loads a year EA Execs: Nah, too costly. Also, you've just been made redundant as we haven't made enough money. Goodbye. * Executive A gets booted out the door * EA Execs: Next suggestion Executive B: What about making Ultimate Team and online modes more gamer friendly and having less need to spend mon-? EA Execs: Send in ED-209 * Executive B gets shot to shit * EA Execs: Soft twat wanted us to stop making a fuck load from children gambling our surprise mechanics. What a stupid cunt. Next suggestion Executive C: *Nervously* What about....... removing......... the.......... shush.......... celebration? EA Execs: What a fucking great idea. We can do this and show that we care about the community while actually doing fuck all about it and continuing child gambling the surprise mechanics. Let's do it!!! https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-08-04-ea-tackles-fifa-21-toxicity-by-pulling-one-of-the-most-annoying-celebrations-in-the-game Pathetic.

It'd take a while for me as while I don't have a particularly bad connection and download speed, I think Sony caps the download speed for some reason on PS4, meaning that it'd take a while to download something that big, let alone getting the room for it.

200GB isn't far off half my PS4 storage. I would consider the same with my mates but none of them really play much.

I would have been tempted to give it a shot if it wasn't for the ridiculous download size (I think it's free if memory serves right).

Working from home for me so can't jump on the PS4 or Switch until I finish.

Started Yakuza 4 and liking it so far. Better than 3 in terms of storyline and that it refreshed the series by having more playable characters with there own moveset. Think I'm near the end of the main storyline already though.

Finished Yakuza 3 as much as I can be bothered with now. I'd heard beforehand that it was arguably the weakest of the series and while I'm yet to play 4, 5 or 6, I agree with the general consensus. While it wasn't a bad game, the story was a bit meh really (there were a few chapters where it seem to focus mainly on kids and just seemed to be filler when you consider the amount of chapters overall) and I thought the substories were quite weak overall. It had a couple of moments that were pretty funny and the end game was a bit nuts (as they usually are) but compared to 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2, it was the worst so far. On to Yakuza 4 now methinks.

You're fucked then.
