The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

[The Bear]

Due to the marvellous thing that is Game Pass, I'm really enjoying Black Ops 6. I think it's the first Call of Duty game I've played in over a decade (those halcyon days of the original Modern Warfare, World at War and the first Black Ops title - so many late nights!) and it's got me hooked all over again.

Although I am physically unable to play until the early hours like I used to.

Still got it, mind you. Class is permanent, etc.

Single player campaign or online?

Online mostly. Tried the campaign and it's actually really good. A lot better than I expected - I will go back and finish it at some point.

Literally can't install it without removing every other game on my XBox! 340gb

Can you not modify the download to only download what you want to play? I think it’s using COD HQ so it downloads stuff like WZ on top?

Yeah it'll try to install MW3, the campaign mode, zombies etc.

Really fiddly but it won't be anywhere near that much space unless you actually want to install all the modes

Only interested in the campaign really. I'll take a look. I just didn't bother going any further than looking at the disk space requirements!

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is absolutely wonderful. It really does feel like playing a movie and the story is surprisingly brilliant - it holds it's own with the original trilogy of films.

This was fun to watch

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The work that has gone into that is amazing.

Only let down by the commentary unfortunately, which makes less sense than Drury usually does (plus why BBC for the idents).

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

PES commentary was always pretty out there. To the point that Trevor Brooking just ignored the script he was given and did it himself

Lawrenson was on there one year and it's the only game ever where I've switched the commentary completely off.

Oblivion Remake due shortly. I'm in!

He and Brackley were pretty good to be fair (with the obvious limitations of gaming back then). Brackley frequently used to add local dialect inflections when saying Teeside or Tyneside for instance which was fun.

This is also gold.

I played it with Wolves and Bully was clearly the only Wolves player whose name was in the commentary database, so the commentary once went, "Bull, to Bull, to Bull, Bull shoots". It properly threw me off my game.

Just too bad it was before Dangerous Dave’s time, ay

Seems unlikely Pes didn't come out until 2001 which was after Bully had retired. The first ISS pro on PS1 was 99 and only had international teams which was a long long time after Italia 90.

The only game I can recall that had Wolves on at the time was Soccer 97, which had Alan Green on commentary and he did say the Wolves player names.

It was a sequel to Olympic Soccer (I think) which had this classic commentary style.

That was the game yes! It was definitely Alan Green on commentary. I distinctly remember a game where the commentary did what I said 100%, so if there were other Wolves players in the commentary it must have been a glitch in the matrix.

I only bought the game because it had Wolves on it (it was awful) and you had his NI pronunciation like Boool and Coook! Huddersfield were one of the worst teams on it and my main recollection was of his pronunciation of Lee Sinnott as "Sinner"

It's only redeeming feature was you could have two players on the same team, otherwise it was terrible.

I don't think I even bought it, I think I rented it from Blockbuster back when that was a thing, and quickly realised that apart from being able to play as Wolves it was thoroughly shit.

FIFA RTWC 98 had all the international teams and main leagues but little else, so you were suffered to create your own team back then if you wanted Wolves in the game.

I think PES 2008 when it moved to PS3 was the start of its downfall and FIFA started to close the gap from that point onwards, in both gameplay and having all the leagues so you could play as your desired team.
