I’ll add to the Sea of Stars love. Probably the best game I’ve played in months. The whole thing is such a delight and the battle system is rad.

Apparently, Jadon Sancho turned up to training late again and has even been refusing to train. Doesn’t sound like he’s backing down. Astonishing really - he has so much talent but he’ll let it go to waste instead of being a professional.

One thing that is jarring is the fact that the science outposts etc are all exactly the same. Same layout, same enemy positions, same loot, same dead scientists. I like the game itself when I’m actually doing something but everything in between is a pain. So many menu’s, shit inventory system, the spaceship flying seems almost pointless, the walking five minutes to a random landmark on a planet only to find out there’s nothing there than a couple of loot items. It’s all a chore and you waste so much time in between actually doing anything. The crafting system is overly complex too, having to research things and then go across to another station to actually mod weapons etc. The skill tree is a massive step back from any Bethesda game too. Whilst I enjoy the stories and the gunplay, overall it has been a massive disappointment for me. I’m not convinced I’ll complete it - I will more than likely end up back on the Yakuza series to fill my Xbox time.

Massive.

Anyone that doesn’t watch Dave should watch Dave. It’s on Hulu in the US so I am presuming it’s on Disney+ in the UK. The show is basically a white guy that is convinced he is the best rapper on the planet and it is mostly comedy gold. His hype-man GaTa is the best.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Fulham (Sat 3pm) Luton 1-2 Wolves (Sat 3pm) Burnley 1-2 Man Utd (Sat 8pm, TNT) Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham (Sun 2pm, Sky) Sheff Utd 1-4 Newcastle (Sun 4.30pm, Sky)

I was so close with so many scores this week!

I really want to like this game but it feels like a chore every time I play it. It’s almost 60% menus and inventory management.

Weight limits are honestly a bit pointless. I mean, if it’s some sort of realistic thing they’re going for - that’s straight out the window when I can wear a spacesuit, carry two and carry eight guns. The whole process in moving things to storage then collecting again to mod weapons is a massive pain in the arse.

Wolves 1-3 Liverpool (Sat 12.30pm, TNT) Fulham 2-0 Luton (Sat 3pm) Man Utd 0-3 Brighton (Sat 3pm) West Ham 0-3 Man City (Sat 3pm) Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea (Sun 2pm, Sky)

Where did you see this??

I know it's Bethesda - but the inventory system on this game is really shit.

United have excluded Jadon Sancho from first team training sessions. Two £70m+ right-wingers banished from the first team. Wild.

FM Mobile is almost a slightly stripped down CM98.

It’s only the mobile version that will be available on Netflix.

Yeah. So I ended up having to reload it and save over the auto save file seven times before it worked.

I’ve gotten to a main story mission where I need to enter a residence in Akila City and it keeps crashing. This is on Series X. Sounds like other people have had similar issues too. I’ve tried re-saving and all sorts but nothing is working.

The lack of city maps is truly irritating. I don’t understand why they didn’t include them.

I’m a snob - the 30fps cap on Series X is really naff. The Series X was sold as the ultimate next-gen gaming machine that could truly handle next-gen games. Obviously not.

I found out that if you have a quest marked in the menu, bringing up the scanner maps out a path to the waypoint - which is helpful for navigation.

Ok so the game itself is what I expected - I think I’ll enjoy it. However, the interface and navigation is all atrocious to be honest. None of it is user friendly and I’m constantly getting confused as to what I need to click on to get to where. No city maps is a bit of a joke too.

What would say was the highlight of the show?

Absolute shocker of a weekend.

Some game this.

Declan fucking Rice!!
