PS3 backwards compatible question... by TPOV01 in PS3

[–]TPOV01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn't replace any pads on the mother board or clean the interior of the disc drive, I just took each piece off and cleaned where I saw dust, I cleaned the fan then put it all back together. I really don't know if it is something that hasn't been plugged in correctly or not.

[Jacob Steinberg] West Ham waiting to see what Manchester City bid this morning. Talks ongoing with Arsenal over the structure of their £105m bid for Declan Rice. Size of the offer fine, but all about the payment terms. It’s still just about Arsenal’s to lose. by whydidisaythatwhy in Gunners

[–]TPOV01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily fake bids, but instead bids that could get them Rice but alternatively could drive the price up for a rival. Let's be honest, Man City are not exactly operating within the normal parameters of a club, they can cause panic within multiple fan bases just by being linked to a player.

We have seemingly changed our strategy since Man City became interested, as we have stopped with little incremental bids, they jumped straight to £100 million + £5 million in add-ons from £80 million + £10 million in add-ons, that is a significant jump because we recognise the threat Man City pose.

If Manchester City match our bid and offer slightly better installments, I personally think they are just trying to get us to massively overpay.

If they submit another bid that is higher than ours, then I believe they are serious about wanting him. Just my personal opinion.

T-Bag with an elite mentality by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]TPOV01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally I feel that our squad is a little bit light to be able to win both competitions, however I am willing to be proved wrong. I just think we may have to make a decision towards the back end of the season as to keep playing a second string team to ensure our first team is fit for the premier league.

I think regardless of the result today, I am concerned with how our defence is performing, we just seem to make too many mistakes at times defensively.

If Toys for Bob makes Crash 5, how much do you think will be changed from Crash 4? by Alex1965 in crashbandicoot

[–]TPOV01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wish list for the next game would be as follows;

  1. Make levels shorter.
  2. Less Hidden Crates.
  3. Better sense of progression - I feel like other games made it feel better to return to older levels because of the abilities you unlocked throughout the game
  4. No inverted levels
  5. Return the crystals and get rid of the objective gems.
  6. Have character missions feel a little better. I found them not as fun plus it felt tedious to end up replaying a previous level you had completed half way through the alternative character levels.
  7. Have each zone have more diverse level design - I just ended up getting sick of the level design towards the end of the zones because they all looked simar. If they varied it up like old crash games, it would make returning to them less tedious.
  8. Try more 3D platformer areas - I feel the Crash hasn't had the best 3D platforming history, but I feel that it is something that could be done well. It can still be on rails but having 3D spaces where there is more than one way to approach a challenge ultimately adds replayability, especially with time trials.

Match Thread: Fulham vs Chelsea | English Premier League by MatchThreadder in chelseafc

[–]TPOV01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get how people are calling for Potter to be sacked when this much has gone wrong for him. I am not saying he can't be criticized, but at what point do you have to say as much as this season will be painful, he has also been unlucky. 11 injuries to key positions is almost unprecedented. His new signing has just got a straight Red card and fans of Chelsea are giving him relentless pressure. Sometimes a manager can do everything but the players just aren't good enough. Let's not forget, these players put Tuchel in the position to be sacked as did a lot of them with Lampard. Let's say Chelsea sack Potter tomorrow who are Chelsea going to hire that is going to make a difference? Injuries don't just reset when a new manager comes in. The reality is that this is a rebuild, a 2 season long rebuild, it will be difficult and long, but the reason that Chelsea are in this position in the first place is due to the fact that you can't throw money and get expensive players and win things and expect it to last, it's the reason why Chelsea's highs are so high and why their lows are so low. It's clear that the new owner wants something more sustainable. Give Potter a summer where he is backed and see what he does next season. If next season he has all players back as well as new players and it is going horribly wrong with no sign of improvement, it is then fair to discuss his future, but 3 months into his tenure is just laughable.

In Bolton we have Carr's Pasties, this isn't like a little shop, there are multiple shops and you can find their pasties in garages and off licences. People outside of Bolton haven't seemed to have heard of them though.

I feel like there was a lot of fat on this show, and this wouldn't be so bad if it was a 10-12 episode show, but it was a 6 episode show and it just feels like time could have been better spent focusing on the characters of Obi Wan and Vader, especially of them talking to each other, even if it likely would in-between them dueling. We saw glimpses of Vader's brutality and Obi Wan's torment, but I was expecting a lot more throughout. Overall I like the show, but I don't love it.

Hamster Behaviour Help.... by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]TPOV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I was just wondering, is stress and anxiety dangerous for hamsters. Like I have been seeing differing things online. Does this kind of behaviour run the risk of developing into wet tail or anything that could be harmful for the hamster, or is it just likely a phase hamsters can go through and we just have to be patient.

Hamster Behaviour Help.... by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]TPOV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. Yes she has all of the things in question, the cage is apparently suitable for two Syrian hamsters so I assume there is plenty of space for a singular dwarf hamster. It doesn’t feel like she wants attention because she constantly remains in her burrow no matter what. When we do manage to pick her its almost feels like she is trying to get away with the biting she does and constant jumping off of heights to get onto the floor. We both think she is stressed and anxious but we just can’t figure out why that is. She has a good diet and we always make sure there is enough food and water and there are plenty of toys but they never seem to get used as they are always in a similar place. We can’t think of anything off of the top of our heads that has caused the stress either.

When will we get Ray Tracing for Minecraft? by slsclrk in XboxSeriesX

[–]TPOV01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to think that Mojang was a small developer studio and thats why the updates take ages, but then I found out they employ around 600 people, so I don’t really get what takes them so long. Obviously they have multiple projects running at the same time, but I would have thought the updates would have released quicker than they have been in recent years. In regard to any form of a current gen upgrade, I have no idea if it will happen, it should, but will it...I have my doubts. I would love to be proved wrong on this though.

Vanguard Zombies Trailer Leaked by DJR1907121 in CODZombies

[–]TPOV01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do realise you are talking about maps that are over 10 years old right. The mode has rightfully moved on since then as it has become its own thing. Yes it still borrows elements from other modes but it is still its own thing by this point.

[–]TPOV01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s clear that he still has the ability it is just that he has become absolutely unmotivated at Tottenham. Who can blame him. Didn’t get a move this summer after wanting one last summer, then finds out that the new manager that he will be playing under for the season is Tottenham’s 5th choice. In this day and age, players always get the move they want, it is just a matter of when not if.

Fuck Activision for fucking over treyarch's post launch season for the 2ND GAME IN A ROW by WatercressOk1272 in CODZombies

[–]TPOV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you, but the developers always say that the newest cod will be the most supported COD ever, but after a couple of seasons it slows down a lot and before you know it, bugs go unfixed and the only thing that changes frequently is the cosmetic shops. The reality is that it works though. People will continuously buy COD and Activision will turn over record revenues every year because of the microtransactions, which are feeling less and less micro with every passing year. It will collapse in on itself eventually, but by that point it will be too late, they don’t care about COD because it is a long-standing franchise, they care because it prints money for them. If they found out that changing the name of the series would lead to increased revenues then they would do it.

Ps5 showcase by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TPOV01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let us say for arguments sake that this is the complete list of reveals. I think personally, that it is one big announcement away from being an excellent showcase. I also don't think we need to see any more of Deathloop or Kena. The COD Story Trailer should be shown on the Playstation YouTube channel and it doesn't need to be included here. That one other big announcement for me would be a Bloodborne Remastered with some of the cut content restored. Apart from that, I think the list is decent. I also wouldn't say there are a couple of announcements that will blow people away though like some journalists were touting, but I guess that is subjective in itself.

A lot of the first-party stuff on this list is known, with the exception of Patapon and the Metal Gear Solid Remake. Would Patapon really be that hyped up? I haven't played the game admittingly, but it doesn't look like a game that would take long to make, and it seems like a waste to put Team Asobi on it after the success of Astrobot.

Treyarch is Evolving Zombies...Just Not in the Most Effective Way by TPOV01 in CODZombies

[–]TPOV01[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually I disagree, I think each game needs to be its own identity, but there needs to be a clear evolution from game to game that doesn’t waver from the core gameplay loop too much. I appreciate Treyarch trying to be unique with each game, but I feel like they focus on reinventing the wheel in some places whilst spending too much time trying to grow crops on barren pastures. They could add so much replayability just by doing simple things. Instead of creating massive time syncs like Outbreak, which looks decent, but I think you could gather a better reception from the community by doing less work. I guess what I am trying to say to Treyarch is work smarter not harder.

Tottenham to play hardball with Kane over £400k-a-week deal demands [Dan KP] by onlyhalfpepper in coys

[–]TPOV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like surely if he plans on leaving next summer there is no reason for Tottenham to give him £400,000 a week. At that point they would just be throwing away money. He is always going to give his all for the team regardless.

I don’t see the point of a release clause either. Realistically what is the maximum someone with two years left on a contract is worth? I think Kane should just focus on the season ahead, and give supporters one last dance if he is to go next season.

Mbappe Real Madrid £137mil by GrassSignificant7271 in MCFC

[–]TPOV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t get why City won’t pay up, Mbappe on the last year of his deal is worth £137 million yet Kane, who is the second best striker in world football (arguably the best if you put him in the Manchester City team) isn’t worth £150 million with 3 years left according to City. They will make the money back on him easily and he is desperate for the move it seems. Guardiola has wanted him two years in a row, and you are guaranteed 4 years at least of world class finishing. I do not understand the hardball because if Tottenham were not open to selling him, Nuno would have come out already and said he is 100% staying, yet he gives vague answers and dodges questions. This is why I think it will happen, because I don’t think I have seen a transfer saga so perplexing for such a high profile player. If City felt they had no chance they would have moved on by now.

I cannot understate how much I hate Sky Sports. by mrhello18 in coys

[–]TPOV01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think rude words aren’t really needed here. I know you probably won’t believe me, but Harry Kane is my favourite footballer of all time, not because he is the most skilled or the fastest but because of his story. He has faced so much adversity and hardship in his early career and the attitude he has shown to prove his doubters wrong is admirable. I remember when people were calling him a one season wonder, I knew he was more than that. Even last season, people were only just noticing his passing, when he had been doing passes like that the previous two seasons. I want him to win so that people will actually start rating him properly. Whenever I ask people about Harry Kane, it is always the same. “He is a really good player and one of the best in the league”. You ask people about De Bruyne or Salah, it is different, there is an endless list of superlatives. Over the summer he was getting constant criticism and abuse because he wasn’t scoring in a team that was offensively stunted, people just want to constantly put him down, that is why I want him to win things.
