It's probably just your shit ones that get the negs.

Let me check the Southampton squad...

We didn't play well tonight and lost 2-1 away to the champions, it's a blow but we just need to bounce back quick and not let it kill our momentum. I feel a bit sorry for Lovren, he really didn't play well, he must be gutted.

Just ignore Dinobot, then, we all do.

Most of the pre-release marketing was aimed at the Gwent community as it was originally an extension of Gwent, not a standalone game.

I enjoyed Andy's performance a lot, but I enjoyed Big Virg giving him a rollicking for getting caught out of position and giving the ball away a lot more. What a guy.

Most of the team were terrific, but I thought Henderson stood out tonight, put in some great defensive work as usual and barely wasted a ball.

Someone wake me up when the eSports shit is over.

Neymar needs his own VAR, he's a fucking clown.

I didn't find the heal necessary, you get a nice chunk of health back from using abilities (however I can't remember when that unlocks). I suppose it proves that alternate playstyles work, I was mostly assassin, using the slow time allows you to escape and break line of sight, giving you a chance to regenerate your health, the same with the area of effect stun (can't remember the name). You then reappear with a high powered assassination ability.

I tried out all the weapon types along the way but settled on sword and 2 handed blunt for the latter part of the game. Once I had the upgraded slow time (10 seconds) it was so easy to land charged heavy attacks with the blunt for massive damage.

I had no trouble early on level wise, but I think I was really exploring all the opening islands, finishing everything I could find. I did not do any noticeboard missions until I was forced to around level 28, where the main mission suddenly jumped 5 levels above me. My advice would be to pick a few noticeboard missions that suit your Kassandra (if you don't want to murder Spartan leaders, then don't), you definitely need a few (unfortunately) to supplement the other means of gaining XP. It's the biggest problem in an otherwise superb game, if they can find a way to balance it for those that don't want to do everything, it would even better.

Yes I was hoping the season pass would show up, too, definitely interested in some more Odyssey.

Finished the main story today. I'm now at 75 hours and there's still things to do, this game is absolutely bonkers big, but i'm still loving it. Some pictures from this afternoon's session...
