Ah think we went through this before. Surely if you go half each then it's only 27.50 though?

It's all economies of scale. I remember when buying a £2.99 Codemasters game on cassette was deemed expensive, let alone £9.99 for a new release in a cardboard box.

I reckon £10 back then was worth £2.5bn now so £55 for a new game seems like a bargain to me.

Haha we have yeah very true! But we tend to buy a game each alternatively, with saying that though my friend paid for the preorder of final fantasy 15, and bought dark souls 3 and elder scrolls mmo haha. Maybe time for me to chip in with south park and fifa ^^

It utterly ruins it as the ranking system is poo. The weight winning or losing carries is far too high when ultimately you're 1/12th of a game's players. I've had games where I've been rubbish and won and games where I've been bossing it and lost.

Then quitting just isn't handled correctly. Win against a team with a quitter, even if they quit once you'd pretty much already won? Have a massive reduction on your rank increase. Lose because someone on your team quit early on? Enjoy your rank going down. Hell, even winning 5 v 6 has a reduction which is madness. Throw in the ridiculous coin flip mechanic and you're in for a frustrating time.

Just on this as well, played 8 games of ranked today, went down from a 62 to 58 ranking as in 5 of those games someone from my team left.
The matchmaking system needs work too imo, me and a mate were together with 4 nongrouped randoms and came up against a 6 man twice.
Needs fixing, would rather see more emphasis placed on the quality of your play.

Is it out yet?

Looks boss. Though I can genuinely see people claiming some Darwin awards when they wander out into oncoming traffic or walk into a dodgy alley at 2am trying to catch a Pidgey.

Definitely. Yes it's a team game, and winning is what matters, but more emphasis has to go on how well you helped the team.

Like a multi player shooty thing. Not my cup of tea but my mate reckons it's decent enough.

In other news I got Pompey promoted from league 2 on FIFA.

Not officially, but Android users can grab it via a few easy to get hold of links on Google.

It's pretty weird, played it on my way home from work and after leaving work, I just arrived at home without paying attention to where I was going. Can definitely see some accidents happening due to it!

There's a gym in Sefton Park. I am determined to be its leader.

I'm not sure how this is going to work in real life. Are people just going to awkwardly conglomerate in one spot playing the game against each other without realising?

I think you just leave your pokemon at the gym if you are the leader and it will auto battle challengers.

They make the best racing games. Love Codemasters.
