I'm in two minds about the Teal album. Most of the covers are SO similar to the originals, Africa is just a huge waste of time. That said, it's really easy on the ear.

I'm guessing he lands in the blue circle every round.

I get that, but surely at this point clickbait is a video with the title "Crackdown 3 is ACTUALLY great and here is why!" The game has been almost universally panned.

I'm finding the disparity between this forum and seemingly the entirety of game critics (professional or otherwise) pretty damn fascinating right now.

Still can't get over a last second choke last night. Who here is Jigsawn? I'm at the back, only two squads left, only one small arena remaining. Their three take out my two teammates before I somehow manage to take out two of theirs. Four guys crawl around the battlefield, only two remain standing. Jigsawn pings the position of the last guy. I elect to be aggressive rather than heal, throw a smoke, flank him all ends up, unload my rifle into him as he faces the wrong way, killing his shield. Switch to my shotgun to finish him off, move in... and miss my shot, point blank. He takes me out, presumably laughing as he does so, and I end the round on zero kills.

I think it's pretty great. My main complaint, though, is how little of a deal they make when a team wins. I mean it's pretty rare, and the reactions are extremely reserved and British. There should be glitter from the ceiling, balloons, jumping around. Instead they just hug awkwardly and then the show ends abruptly.

I do sometimes wonder who spends all their time designing the parts of open worlds only a tiny percentage of people ever go to.

Best single player FPS of the generation.

I already have that and also The Greatest Show On Earth lined up

Why the heck are you spending your time playing a game you find boring? I say this sitting on my proud throne having finally broken my addiction

EDF is the worst for this. You spend half your time doing busywork.

Ooh, I have one actually. Massive long sections without save points. Japanese games are usually the worst for this. Yakuza Zero has half hour stretches, no respect for the player.
