The game is fantastic. I have a few hours in it already and if I wasn't for needing something to eat I'd still be playing now. Roll7 are the masters of nailing the gameplay and this game is no different. Those that want a game that is easy to pick up, but hard to master then Rollerdrome is definitely that game.

Keep in mind an orthopaedic boot can also be used for a bad sprain, or any number of non-achilles based lower leg injuries. If it turns out it is an achilles injury then that's very unfortunate and I wish him a speedy recovery, but until we know more his ankle injury could be literally anything.

I wouldn't say gone to shit. We conceded a very weak goal, but it's more that the game has gone very end to end as Everton scramble to get a point. Had Watkins been more clinical it'd be 3-1 right now. We're still getting plenty of chances.

Gerrard is clueless and reactionary. We lost last week. Why did we lose? We lost to two set piece goals because we had no height in defence. Why did we lack height? The 6ft+ destroyer of Mings was on the bench because the manager has a weak ego. We didn't lose last week because we lacked possession, we had all the possession. We didn't lose last week because we didn't create chances, we had 15 shots on goal (only 2 on target to be fair). Bringing in Mings as a reaction to last week is sound. Changing everything else about the formation after conceding two set piece goals? Doesn't make sense. The way we played last week wasn't great, but 66% possession and 15 shots against many other teams would result in points. He's throwing the baby out with the bathwater in trying to rectify last week.

A quick heads up for anyone wanting to play every Yakuza game though PS+, you will eventually need PS+ Premium. The series is being released in tiers; Yakuza: Like a Dragon is on PS+ Essential, Extra, and Premium right now for the month of August. Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are coming to PS+ Extra and Premium on August 16th. Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, and Yakuza 5 Remastered are launching later this year exclusively for PS+ Premium. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is launching later this year for PS+ Extra and Premium. So to play the whole series without flat out buying all the games you will need to be on PS+ Premium at some point in the coming months. Sony putting games exclusively into PS+ Premium seems to be the latest strategy to get people to sign up for that tier, even if it means breaking up franchises to do it.

Middling content addition. I mean there is nothing wrong with most of the games being added, it's just harder to get excited about games that have been out for a while, especially games like Wildlands that exist in a 30FPS format as they didn't get a Pro/PS5 patch. Also those that signed up to Premium are getting shafted once again. This is yet another update that doesn't add any PlayStation Classics.

Really not sure what our style is. Gerrard keeps talking about it, but unless our style is to play badly then I don't think the style has been implemented at all. Things need to change at half-time.

The potential good things about this game; AEW: Fight Forever is aiming to be an arcade style wrestling game with WWF No Mercy as its main inspiration. WWF No Mercy being its main inspiration isn't just lip service. The games creative director is Hideyuki Iwashita who was the creative director of WWF No Mercy. The potential bad things; Development hasn't been smooth. Tony Khan (AEW owner) financed some of the game out of his own pocket, while AEW Games and Yuke's have not seen eye to eye over much of the development process. Ultimately Fight Forever will likely feel pretty bare bones when it eventually releases. They do have plans to support the game with DLC to increase the roster size, and add new match types, but this game is going to feel more like a foundation to something a sequel would improve on massively. It'll hopefully be fun though, if a bit limited compared to the modern WWE games.

Feels like EA are treading water and the larger changes will come next year in EA Sports FC.

Not sure. Pikmin 4 has been in development for a while. Miyamoto talked about it in 2015, and even said the game was "very close to completion". Since then absolute silence, so who knows what is happening with that game.

We won 2-1

Get in!!

1-1!! Bailey

$14.6 million in payments by VKM that weren't recorded as company expenses. Anyone looking for the exact reason why he retired out of the blue on Friday just got their answer.

The pitch is going to be a swimming pool in the second half.

5 hours is probably a pretty leisurely playthrough too. My current playthrough is at 2 hours 57 minutes, I have 60% of the collectables and I'm on the second to last chapter. It hasn't been an exhaustive playthrough, but I also haven't been running through it and ignoring everything either. 3-4 hours is probably going to be the average completion time for those not going for 100%.

So in the first 10 Assassin's Creed games the combat system was reactionary. Combat would be initiated and the player waited for the enemies to do something, at which point the player either countered, dodged, or grabbed the enemy. They added layers to it with each release, but the reactionary combat remained the same. This same reactionary combat style inspired games like Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Starting in Origins and continuing into Valhalla the combat is more methodical like the Souls games. The Souls games are all about learning the enemies attack patterns, and the game gives the player tools to do that. You have a lock-on so the enemy is always in view, you have a dodge, and you have a shield if you choose to equip one. The player also has more control over their attacks. You have light attacks and heavy attacks, and these attacks can be chained together based on what you have learned about your enemy. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla imitate this approach to combat.

Assassins Creed 1 all the way up to Syndicate have the same style of gameplay, and are largely the same game in new cities with subtle evolutions to the parkour system. After Syndicate released and completely bombed sales wise the series took a break, and Ubisoft went back to the drawing board to release something that would feel fresh to longterm fans. This lead to Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. All three games adopted a more methodical Soulslike combat, but Valhalla definitely leans into it a lot. The mainline series is now on another break, so maybe the gameplay will change again with Assassins Creed Infinity in 2023/24.

God of War (2018) is a soft-reboot and sequel at the same time. What this essentially means is its a fresh start with some minor easter eggs/nods to previous games that older fans might enjoy. The game does a very good job at not needing prior knowledge of the series.

I could watch Kyrgios rip into his team all day. I don't even know what his frustration is, but it's fantastic

Buendia is having fun out there.

Blood and Guts was a great show from start to finish. It was paced well, the matches leading up to the main event were great, and the Blood and Guts match itself was chaotic in the greatest possible way. I'll spoiler tag a few things that happened that I want to talk about;

Some do, but the majority don't. As far as I'm aware the list of PS1 games with trophy support is as follows: Ape Escape Everybody's Golf Syphon Filter Kurushi Wild Arms

I am calm. I'm just not going to let you call something a remaster just because it's "your opinion". You can be unimpressed by something without calling it something it is not.
