Been gaming online tonight. A rarity for me as I'm more of a single player campaign guy.

Metal Gear Online first, which is a surprising amount of fun and not too punishing for the MGO n00b

Now on FIFA 16 and hating the new passing as I am crap at it and cant string more than 3 together without being closed down by people much better than me... ie everyone

brenfitz83 is my XBox One ID if anyone fancies an easy victory on either. Plus I am in need of friends as I've not long had it

You got many other games mate?

Elite is so hard. Bought Starpoint Gemini 2 as well. Both quite difficult.

What is your Elite IGN, so I can come by, shoot you and steal your cargo?

Had a good go on Battlefront just now.

Quite the quandary for me.

I can tell it's great. Looks bloody amazing. And it's Star Wars.

But, I'm utterly wank at it. Did 3 of those battle things. Each time finishing bottom with about 3 kills but been killed about 19 times. (Did win the last match for the team like!).

And that's the problem with these online only type games. Some divs around the globe will just play this. Day in. Day out. Sadly I have a job and a bit of a life so can't play it religiously to 'level up' or whatever you call it. I doubt I'll get much better to be honest.

Multi player games like this don't really seem to cater for the more casual gamer. It seems to me anyway.

Massive shame there's no single player story campaign type thing.

Agreed.

It's screaming out for a Bioshock Infinite type of game with the same engine. The game looks incredible, but not much substance. It's a result of game developers thinking people don't buy games unless its' multiplayer - I wish they'd stop thinking that, given games like Skyrim was one of the biggest sellers ever and Half Life is one of the most eagerly anticipated games ever - and Fallout is the most anticipated game this year.

*Checks outside for hell freezing over.

Nope, @ijjysmith and @Tubey agree on a game!!!!!

I also think it is ridiculous there is no single player option. Multi-player has been degraded because of all of the "divs around the globe will just play this. Day in. Day out"

Me and @MoutsGoat are a couple of those divs.

I can understand how online gaming, especially mmo's, don't cater too well sometimes to the casual player, but at the same time I hate seeing games downgraded to cater to those people, some of us plug a lot of hours into those rewards, it's frustrating to see them downgraded, or made easier to gain, a few months later, as often happens.

Totally understand why they do it though, it's all about revenue and keeping the masses happy.

I quite like battlefront - despite it being identical to all onlin shooters, it's very Star Warsy

I havent played it, but watched loads of people streaming it, it stinks of Battlefield and CoD with cool Star Wars skins.

I know its very hard to be original these days, but meh, nothing compares to Goldeneye and the first MGS, they should have just given up then.

That's precisely what it is.

I'm now in the top 4% of global hearthstone players

Not bad for a player base of several million

It just sounds like you're a bit crap at games here to be honest.

Arsed with Beta. Will wait til the proper game comes out.

Just downloaded FIFA 16, not bothered with FIFA for a coule of years but I weakened thsi year. WIll fanny about a bit practicing then spend teh rest of the evening ater teh England game screaming a the TV as i get repeatedly bummed by Korean 8 year olds FFS

Sadly waiting for the proper game won't change that the weapons are pants, having no recoil and feels like toys.
