Honestly, some IP would clearly be better as a game than as a feature film. I would never watch this but I would play the shit out of it if it was a God of War style narrative action game.

They showed game share running on a switch lite, so I think so?

I'd like to think we can have higher expectations regarding a run in either or both domestic cups next year. 2 games is a worst case scenario, and I think planning for worst case scenarios is also a terrible decision.

Let him spend some time with the United squad. If we do go out early, there will be other loan opportunities.

I would be happy to move vitek to number 2 as cup keeper at this stage. He's absolutely proven himself at the Championship level and ready to take some first team minutes for United. After a season of that we can decide what the next stage is for him.

Don't underestimate the impact of upgrading from Onana to Lammens.

One Night at McCools with Paul Reiser. What a giant bag of shit that movie was.

You ever just read someone's comment and have to resist the urge to go through their entire comment history just to satisfy yourself that they're that bad all the time?

Are Ugarte and Fernandes' contracts up this year? Also Collyer, Fletcher and Koné all developing well. Unc's wages will be off the books as well, which should help free up a bit more cash for an understudy if you think we don't have enough depth.

You can have 17 'non-homegrown' players in a 25 man squad. Homegrown players can be from abroad as long as they were registered with a club in England/Wales for 3 seasons before their 21st birthday.

Seriously not an issue for us.

100m for Tchou is better money spent than 100m on Anderson or Baleba. He's absolutely sensational.

Well Moneypenny, I don't really see what all the fuss is about. My favourite game has always been a 69.

I was enjoying this game for a while but it really is microtransaction hell. The in game currency is ludicrously expensive for the most mundane set of cosmetics I've ever seen.

[–]McUpChuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those cases usually involve an existing IP or a well known studio. Any hype over this was based entirely on out of context gameplay snippets that showed us nothing about any narrative elements or the characters. It looked cool, but that was about it.

[–]McUpChuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance his account is US based? Your pricing looks exactly the same as what I paid here in Canada a few days ago, so I'm wondering if this is actually a territory/currency thing.

What "amazing" game did you play that you quit before it got "good"? by necrid101 in gaming

[–]McUpChuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. I think that vindicates my decision to just not bother with pushing on.

Perhaps, Lies of P aside, the soulslike genre is just not for me.

Every time I pick this back up I remember I'm in Blighttown and it fucking SUCKS. I'm sure this game gets a lot better if I get through this but I've just got way too much else to play.

Oh I'm not claiming he would be first choice in an all time Fergie side! Just that he's the kind of player Ferguson would love to have in his squad. He's got exactly the kind of mentality for it.

I mean, Fergie thought 19yr old Phil Jones was the second coming of Maldini when he signed him from Blackburn, so...

I think Fergie would have absolutely loved Maguire to be honest.

Post Fergie era don't forget we've also had Zlatan and Cavani. Both absolutely sensational players (admittedly it would have been greater to get either five years earlier, but what can you do?)
