Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

That one is really bizarre. Seems like a decent player as well.

 

He also said he wasn't introduced to the press, has no club suit (obvious why now), and had no official photograph. Seems like Palace were hoovering up players and then found they didn't want him...tough on the player.

 

So one signing breaks their leg and another moans about not being treated right. Not a good start.

I expect this has already been posted but just in case....Just imagine if this happened at SMS...Oh, those crazy South Americans...

 

Yeah this was posted in the last Beefy's any one heard what will happen?

 

That bit was funny. I think the fans were singing, "Stuck in a sh*thole, we are stuck in a sh*thole"

 

I was about to mention this, and the dark grey/black cloud of doom that hovers over that place making it look even darker and dingier and ****e!

 

Looks interesting, think i'll check it out on 4oD.

 

And which particular political pretentious bias would you say the Guardian has then, hmm..?

 

Guys, don't buy Rome II when it comes out. It's a mess. Wait a few months to see if they patch all of the bugs.

Here's an angry review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_QK-lcW8a8

On a happier note, I got bored enough to watch the E3 trailer of Final Fantasy 15. I'm cautiously optimistic that they may have actually fixed the series. Might be the first one I buy since FFX.

The characters still look like emo pricks, but they'll never change that. All the monsters you see are from FF8, which is my favourite of the series, and the battle style looks amazing.

 

Huh, interesting. I'll have to wait for some actual reviews, but I'm tempted.

 

Our only night match thus far this season has been away.

A powercut certainty wouldn't make a difference to the tannoy though, can barely hear it at the best of times!

 

Think Total War Rome 2 is beyond fixing tbh. My mate had a press release version and he says it basically unplayable. That and the fact they have 'streamlined' the **** out of it. You can't unlock any other nation you now have to buy them for £5.

 

Total War has always been terribly optimized and prone to bugs -- I can run practically everything on high/ultra settings at a good frame rate, except Total War: Empires -- but they've had how many years now to correct it?

Oh well; I'll get it for $5 in three years when half the bugs are corrected.

 

This is far worse then anything they have done before. They even had more money to fix it, but the fact it is much worse says something.

 

That was XIII-2 for a bit right? And then they changed it to XV? I am playing XIV at the moment, a great example of how to fix a completely broken release, the new producer has done incredible work taking what was good out of the broken 1.0 release and putting it into 2.0, a bit rocky getting on it due to demand but I am pretty hooked at the moment and I don't usually play MMORPGs. Perhaps the guys who created Total War 2 should take a leaf out of their book, scrap it, scrap the team and start from scratch...

 

Ahh, might impulse buy Rome 1 again. In fact I might even have the disc somewhere. Because I haven't wasted enough hours this Summer.

 

I have no familiarity with the games post FFX. I played XII for a few minutes and same with X-2, but that's it. I don't think I'd ever been more disappointed with the demise of a video game series. There will always be a special place in my heart for the PS1 releases (7, 8 and 9), but I've long since given up on hoping for a return to those days. I also hated the departure from the turn-based battle system. Just because you have the technological capability to do so, doesn't mean you have to do so. The complex strategic element was completely lost after that.

 

Anyone ever played a game called "Space Invaders?" Cutting edge stuff.

 

You should check out this game
