Got my hopes up when I saw the words 'Flash Sale on European PSN store'. Sadly Bloodbourne is the only game in the flash sale

Right Turn Clyde

There are two football games out each year. I like football games. Each year I buy or rent both of them to see which one I like the best. I play that game all year until the new versions are out. Rinse, repeat.

Rather than drag this thread off topic I have setup a new thread with a Poll.

FIFA is getting worse, and Pro Evo is getting better. That's about as objective as this year's debate gets.

I would say FIFA is standing still and PES is improving leaps and bounds from being woeful.

imo this year FIFA still has it by a good way but if PES keeps improving I might convert over...

FIFA has gotten worse every years since 2010.

No it really hasn't. The change to defending was after that and that made the game massively better.

The criticism of the series is surely now that it takes small incremental steps forward, it certainly hasn't gone backwards though.

Really? Haven't we had the defending and passing changes in that time? Shooting is a bit more varied since the old R1 finesse / same lobs every time.

It was easier in the past but far more formulaic than it is now. I'm no great advocate either, like Madden they're a lazy shower who can site on their laurels easily.

FIFA 10 is a better game than FIFA 15, in the same way that Pro Evo 6 is a better game that Pro Evo 15. Yes, of course the new games offer a better footballing experience, and in that respect you're right, they're 'better' games. But they are not better games when you consider the resources the developers had at their disposal in the interim. FIFA has been a let down for years now because EA refuse to address its sluggishness. Or more likely, that sluggishness and weighty feel is part of the game's systems, and to hell with anyone that doesn't like it. At least this year's Pro Evo is looking back at its successes in order to move forward. So I'll concede this argument. The current releases are better than their predecessors, but both, and particularly FIFA, are lazy, leaden cash-cows that need shaking up.

Have both. One on Xbox, other on PS.

ProEvo in my opinion is much more polished from a gameplay point of view. In game action much more realistic and satisfying. That's not to say Fifa is terrible, it's just not as good in my opinion.

In terms of replayability and ability to keep you playing, I'd say Fifa snags it. Much more diversity in terms of game modes. Fifa Ultimate team is very addictive and will keep you hooked for months. Pro Evo's attempt at something similar (can't remember the name of the game mode) is woeful to be honest.

I also found it much easier to get matches online on Fifa. It may be my network settings but with pro evo, I only get a game after 2-3 attempts attempts at finding a match. It may also be that Pro evo is just not as popular and therefore there are less potential games available.

The ideal footie game for me would have Pro Evo gameplay (and maybe graphics) mixed with the variety of depth of Fifa's game modes and licensing. As well as the EA servers.

Especially if you're into playing on your own. I'm part of a dying breed of gamers that still enjoy a Career/Master League mode. FIFA's has been better for a long, long time. FIFA gets a lot of stick for having the presentation and sponsorship but not the gameplay. However, with their Career Mode, it was actually the bells and whistles that kept me playing, because it was a believable world and it made me want to keep playing, despite not really enjoying the core gameplay. That says a lot.

I want FIFA's Career Mode, sponsorship and presentation, with Pro Evo's gameplay and Champions League rights. My god. I'm drooling on myself.

Anyone know is there anywhere in Ireland where you can get that 24inch Sony Playstation 3DTV it is fairly cheap in the states haven't even really seen it mentioned about or seen it since it's launched (must have been an epic fail)... However would love to get my hands on one especially if it can be got at the american price which is here:

I remember it was in Smyths for a while with the price dropping at one point. Seem to have stopped selling now.

Was surprised to see it as I never heard of it really. Discontinued product, and the price ($129) is for refurbished model.

The fact it is discontinued now means it wasn't that great I guess.

The price on Sony website was $149 at the end :

http://store.sony.com/playstation-3d-display-zid27-PS398078/cat-27-catid-EOL-PlayStation-3

€250 on adverts? I wouldn't touch it.

Given how little publicity it got, and how "unpopular" it is, I wouldn't bother tbh.

I think it's lack in sales was the original price tag of 500euro / 500$ ... Was way too much for such a small screen, I paid 550euro for a 40inch 3DTV although it was plasma about a year before this was announced...

I loved that TV but had to get rid of it sadly so maybe this TV cheap would be decent... If it was priced at 150euro here refurbished I would most likely get it...

I think I tried adverts a while back but didn't see it but anyways think 250 is a bit steep too since it doesn't seem that popular ..

black flag for 15 bucks seems good, i remember hearing positive things about it, but i feel like it's one of those things i'd buy then never get around to actually playing

tok9

I made the mistake of buying it relatively close to the PS4 launch due to all the good praise.

Thought it was just the same as the others. So very boring in other words.

Is LA Noire as bad as I heard it is? Seems a decent amount of game for £6.49 now it has been reduced.

I put about 80 hours into it. Finished it to 91%, not bothering with the online part. I had done all the previous ones, apart from ACIII, but this was brilliant, IMO.

Its one of the better Assassins Creed games. Much better than the 3rd or unity.
For €15 its definitely worth it

Was ok - But its very linear and the missions do become repetitive. The concept is good, id say its a 6-7/10.

Picked up Sleeping Dogs Definitive on the store for 12euro can't wait to play, never got the chance to finish it on PC... Also picked up Hotline Miami for 2.50 so not bad for under 15euro for both...

Speckydodge

Is Miami hotline good, always wondered about it
